     Rearguard actions and squeaker elections are not enough. We need to drastically improve public education. Reduce income inequality. Promote civic nationalism and internationalism. Centre human rights and international institutions.

     @evan Part of the solution to the rise of the far-right is to accept that the existence of a moderate-right is healthy and that sometimes they identify real problems and reasonable solutions.

     @nemobis I agree. A lot of the talking points of right populism, like high cost of living and overwhelming numbers of refugees, are directly linked to climate change. I think a Green New Deal is an important part of defanging far-right ideology.
