In this episode of Solid Ground, Simon challenges the growing violent rhetoric in society, suggesting it should not be dismissed and explained away. He shares a WSJ story calling for proper medical oversight of abortion pill use, noting that 11% of women are harmed by the drugs’ use. He questions why media report the cost of policing Brian Tamaki’s recent march, yet rarely (if ever) report the costs with other protests. Simon then turns to critique the overuse and misuse of the term ‘far-right’, contrasting it with the near absence of media calling anyone ‘far-left’.
