Online users have reacted sharply on X after the Canadian prime minister addressed the World Economic Forum in Davos, openly acknowledging the breakdown of the so-called US-led “rules-based order.”

Russian media editor Margarita Simonyan dismissed the Davos address as empty posturing. “Ah yes, a banker-turned-politician delivering a tearful eulogy for globalist hypocrisy in front of Davos backdrop,” she said... Canadian political author Yves Engler focused on the gap between Carney’s rhetoric and his record. “Mark Carney just accepted a seat on Trump’s Gaza colonial board, backed kidnapping Maduro & continues Canada’s unprecedented military ties to US. Still many are praising the PM for standing up to US & defending sovereignty during today’s speech to World Economic Forum,” he wrote... Journalist Heidi Moore pointed to Western complicity in Israel’s genocidal assault on Palestinians, noting that moral concern surfaced only when US coercion reached its allies. “Carney was happy to tear down the rules-based order to help Israel slaughter Palestinians. He's taking exception because NATO nations thought they were immune from being treated like Palestine..." Assal Rad said that Western discomfort stems not from principle, but from self-interest.“To be clear, ‘this bargain no longer works’ because it’s targeting them. They had no problem with a false international order that targeted and subjugated brown people..." Journalist Dimitri Lascaris was even more direct, dismissing Carney’s words as hollow without concrete action. “Mark Carney just agreed to sit on Trump's fraudulent 'Board of Peace,' which is nothing but a cover for Israel's ongoing genocide. Carney has supported Trump's regime change operations in Venezuela and Iran. Carney agreed to raise Canada's military spending to the ruinous level of 5% of GDP, just because Trump ordered his NATO vassals to do so. Unless and until Carney's actions match his lofty Davos rhetoric, I'm not buying any of what Carney is selling..." Still, the dominant response online focused less on Trump himself and more on Western leaders who, for years, aligned themselves with US power when it devastated non-Western societies, only to recoil now that the same coercive methods are being turned inward.

That's a good collection of valid criticisms. Carney gives an impressive speech but in the end he's a banker from the neoliberal status quo, and he can be expected to continue acting as such. We saw it already with his election campaign: nice words for more of the same liberal capitalism.

We've gotten so used to breadcrumbs we've forgotten our worth and denied our neighbors any worth. Everyone is worthy and we must stop settling for less, for our neighbors and ourselves.

It takes great strength of character to acknowledge our shadows, stronger yet to work with our demons so they become our holy guardian angels and we remain vigilant about doing the right thing for everyone. Thank you for your acknowledgement.

I'm going to work on updating the bot to pull the full text of sites like this. Let me see if I can get the full text manually.

LOL. Yeah, that was a weird one. The RSS feed returns presstv.ir URLs even though I pull the RSS feed from www.presstv.ir. For the life of me, I couldn't get the links from my site to load, but if I googled the articles, they loaded fine. Naturally, FF on mobile truncates the www. making it seem like it was the same URL, but it actually wasn't. I've added a post processor to the bot that will add the www. to the URLs now, and I'm working on going back over the last few days of presstv.ir posts and updating their URLs with a script.

I know a few years ago they had presstv.com sized by the US government, so who knows what kind of back end tricks they're doing with the www. subdomain.

I believe Google has undue influence in FF handling of things. I've had good success with librewolf but I don't know about what to use for mobile devices.
