The correct way to eliminate human trafficking and child abuse is capital controls. Bring the fucking bankers to heel. You don't have the credibility to talk like this while you work hand-in-glove with skinsuits like Jamie Dimon and the coterie of coin operated policymakers that calls itself western democracy. So the intention is not to use credibility, but something much quicker.
i mean its the guardian. i don't know why i'm seeing it so much on lemmy lately.
We USians often don't realize that the Guardian is a right wing publication. A frustrating number of people in US circles (especially liberals who don't know they aren't leftists) think anything European/UK is ideal and that conservatives don't have any influence there.
The Guardian is a left leaning publication, it's the alternative to The Times which is more conservative and right leaning
The fact that other publications are more right leaning than The Guardian doesn't make it left leaning. It's a liberal paper, supporting liberal positions and routinely expressing opposition to leftists like Corbyn. In my book, support for liberalism and opposition to leftism makes it a right wing publication.
