I feel there exists a distinct and problematic form of boundary policing from what identifies as 'the left' today, resulting inany critique of lockdowns and provax sentiment starting from left-wing values being too easily dismissed as 'right-wing.' A better critique of class in relation to all this is especially sorely missing. Hence my retort of 'knee-jerk.'The word "provax" itself is a propaganda framing, similar to framing evolution as 'just a theory' next to 'intelligent design', and a complete giveaway of your ideology; just as your list of research questions was, in its sum, rhetorical.Any critical discussion ends here. -F Cheers, Ingrid.

I would not foreclose a left-wing critique of government policy but would agree with Florian that its dangerous to couch far-right sentiment in left wing discourse.

Baudet would be proud of you; he can rake in the spoils.____ ____ Cheers, Ingrid.____ __ __ __ __ *From:*Florian Cramer <flrncrmr@gmail.com <mailto:flrncrmr@gmail.com>> *Sent:* Thursday, 20 January 2022 13:00 *To:* Hoofd, I.M.
