You could say the same about America's far-left.

America's far-left is marginalized, with practically no power.

Whereas this is about the Minister of National Security.

American right wing propaganda loves to describe anybody who opposes them as "far left", but Democrats are a barely-left-of-center party. To such a degree that the actual left calls them indistinguishable from the right, and refuses to vote for them.

America's far-left is marginalized, with practically no power.

DEI is a huge cultural shift everywhere from companies to higher education. I don't think the far left is marginalized at all. They have also gained sizable influence over the democrats.

Ah, another article doing the "oh this extremism thing is just because there's an election cycle; they don't really think like this" defense. Similar to how the western media did in the 30s.

But then we also have the "the democrats are mega extreme now and they want to destroy America and make Hasan Piker their God-Emperor" thing that the same media organization are pushing. Traditional US media is completely fucked and captured.

But as elections near, his messaging has grown more extreme. His latest AI-generated campaign video shows rows of numbered Palestinian prisoners in brown uniforms moving along a conveyor belt into a fenced compound with watchtowers; the inmates appear well-fed at the start and thinner and distressed after passing through the industrial-style processing line. The post says, “We promised - we delivered.” The video was removed from Ben Gvir’s account on X after amassing more than 4 million views.

I remember seeing a similar incident documented in a museum.
