@M_BobRyan The bit about covid slowing the global surge to the right.

@publicfutility Did what do what? Not sure which fact claim we’re on.

The global far right surge began years before COVID, and as this notes it took a pause during. And COVID was a major cause of Trump’s loss. So if anything it slowed the surge. Post-COVID inflation and the end of pandemic social programs had an impact, which is why it came after.

I think there’s a bit too much of a focus on Covid as a cause of the global far right surge and not enough on the Russia-Ukraine war. Establishment parties were still doing well far into 2021, well far the start of COVID and during the heart of the vax debates.

the LA fire conspiracy theories and climate change skepticisms are a perfect example of Jameson's arg that conspiracy is a failed cognitive map: the truth is that the fires and their effects are unthinkably overdetermined. There is no single cause! even leftists are missing this
