I’m a bit shocked at the downvotes. The article brings up some valid criticism of how Carney treats people around him, even in the public eye, and how his actions are really speaking louder than his charming words of promise.
I think the title may be causing the downvotes, the first part of it sounds like a confirmation/ exposé rather than a personal analysis by the OP, which isn't necessarily a bad thing but might be misleading at first glance
Something like this might have done better
Note: I haven't had a chance to read the article yet, I'm hypothesizing based on the comment section on why people didn't like it
If you do end up reading it, I'd love to hear what you think :)
Gotta say, when the downvote brigade comes for a comment like the one I made above, it says to me that it's not about the title of the post, or the article's merits. Opinions will differ, of course!
People really just don't want to hear legit criticism of Carney, and will attempt to silence anyone who dares to. I had a large Liberal-supporter's account on Bluesky add me to their public blocklist of "toxic trolls", next to accounts like LibsOfTikTok, because I said - and this is verbatim - "Carney's housing plan is not FDR-like, sorry".
One of the top two comments in these replies makes a point that the piece itself actually agrees with - so they clearly hadn't even read it yet. The other one complains about the fact that the topic was chosen at all. So much for discourse!
Anyway, I've had plenty worse said about stuff I've written (a different essay whipped up a bunch of controversy on the orange site recently).
So, while I won't claim it doesn't sting at all when people are dismissive and rude, my skin is starting to get thicker, haha
