If the Pope is now considered part of the radical left, I think we need to look at just how far the overton window has moved.

@robertpi considered by Trump, who does not think, only reacts.

@robertpi an AMERICAN pope, too.

@Oink @robertpi Is that what they call "reactionary politics"?

[aguvv@masto.es]

@robertpi people trying to convince us that the radical right is the center.

[ulmo@masto.es]

@robertpi Given the current climate, one might say that being wicked and depraved is typical of the right, whilst fighting against it – or simply pointing out what is wrong – is a left-wing stance.

If that is the new reality (which I don’t think is all that new), then I must be a radical left-winger.

@robertpi Moved? It was stretched. The left border is pushed further to the left but with little success. The right border almost leaves the Solar System.

@robertpi Doesn't that make the 6 Catholic Supreme Court JUSTICES far left? How do they feel about this?

@robertpi I mean, taking away the dishonest way the Americans use the words 'radical left'...this Pope is far more openly left wing than his predecessors, and supports real leftist positions.

This isn't an overton window thing, this is the fact that a committed Christian in a position of authority is willing to speak the truth, that following Christ's way is incompatible with the disgusting economic system promoted by loudly 'Christian' countries.

To me, that's a much more important shift.
