Narrative A

The current rate of global warming is on track to smash 3C above baseline in the coming decades, and parts of Earth won't be fit for human habitation. People can expect severe crop failures and rising seas that will wipe coastal cities from the map. Time's running out and CO2 emissions are still increasing.

Narrative B

The approach of this report is disingenuous. IPCC's consumer-driven strategy will result in a whirlwind of campaigns from governments and big brands trying to persuade to us to eat less meat, travel by public transportation, and reduce our energy consumption. There will be PR campaigns to "save the Earth," while big businesses pump out more CO2 to make chique sustainable products.

Narrative C

The IPCC report means a disproportionate impact for the globe's most vulnerable. We have to immediately scale up preparation for the millions who are about to be displaced. This is a human crisis making life harder for those already suffering.

Left narrative

The regulation of women's sports unfairly targets athletes who are considered excessively masculine. Among elite athletes, both men and women can carry similar levels of testosterone. The notion that a 'woman' is defined as someone with a 'normal' testosterone level is nonsensical.

Right narrative

Trans athletes have no place in women's sports. Sport is about the body, and male and female bodies are just different. Cisgender female athletes are at risk of being left to compete for second place against trans competitors with an obvious biological advantage.

Establishment-critical narrative

The US, Russia and China all point to each other's development of these weapons as a justification for their own. This arms race risks bleak consequences for the future of humanity, especially as these weapons systems are capable of delivering nuclear warheads.

Pro-establishment narrative

When Putin fired a hypersonic missile at Ukraine, it was the first case of the use of these weapons in combat in the world. Right now the United States is trailing behind Russia and China. The US must ramp up efforts to protect itself and its Western allies.

Right narrative

Although the Secret Service is required by law to protect Hunter Biden, it is not required to spend an exorbitant amount of tax dollars to do so. The agency is going beyond its duties to accommodate Mr. Biden, especially in comparison with its protection of Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner which cost just $3K per month.

Pro-establishment narrative

The Secret Service renting the closest property to a protectee is nothing new and Hunter Biden is far from the first presidential protectee to live in an expensive location. While $30k per month sounds costly, it is only a fraction of the price spent to protect the former president's children.

Establishment-critical narrative

These sanctions are unfair and there is a clear risk they will lead to widespread Russophobia. It's not just the sanctions on Russian oligarchs, but there are also many informal sanctions on Russian people, culture and business. This is cancel culture stigmatizing an entire population for the crimes of one autocrat.

Pro-establishment narrative

Harsh economic sanctions are the West's best hope for deterring Putin and halting his invasion. This is a good start, and Russia's economy is already starting to crack. But even more is needed to bring Putin to the negotiating table.

Narrative C

Airbnb banning users for political reasons isn't new. However, its decision of blacklisting the population of Russia and Belarus is extreme, baffling and hypocritical, as the company keeps operating in other countries known for human rights abuses, including China.

Right narrative

This is woke virtue signaling at its worst. These plans are outrageously discriminatory and there would be no proper regulation of how the money in the scheme is distributed.

Left narrative

The organizations have good reason to focus on transgender and non-binary citizens. Transgender people in the US are twice as likely to be unemployed and 29% of transgender people live in poverty compared to 16% of cisgender Americans.

Right narrative

The reunion of Obama and Biden under the pretense of changes to the ACA is actually intended to raise the President's popularity, which has been dented by record inflation, sluggish economic recovery, and Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Left narrative

Biden is right to praise the work of the Democrat party against attempts by Republicans to undermine the ACA and its benefits for the American people. It seems that he is finally ready to regain political momentum ahead of the midterms.

Right narrative

Cullors lied and should face the consequences. She admitted that BLMGNF wasn't prepared to deal with the surge of donations following George Floyd, and that she used the property for personal leisure. To top it off, there's been no new leadership, making BLMGNF seem to purely exist to exploit social tensions.

Left narrative

Cullors is being made a victim of a right-wing smear campaign. Countless nonprofits and companies have expensive offices or headquarters, and this is no different.

Narrative A

This joint report will only increase animosity and block reconciliation, as it characterizes the Ethiopian side as pure evil. To recognize that there are culpable individuals on both sides is crucial in finding a peaceful solution, and holding them accountable. This must be tackled by institutions established by the Ethiopian constitution, not by international NGOs meddling in domestic affairs.

Narrative B

Despite all groups involved in this conflict having committed atrocities and human rights violations, the Ethiopian government and its allies are responsible for the worst and most systematic crimes, some of which could even be described as genocidal. The international community must act now to condemn and put an end to these atrocities.

Anti-Russia narrative

This invasion is an egregious violation of international law. Putin's ultimate aim is to restore the Soviet empire, even if it takes massive bloodshed and false pretexts such as calling the 2014 Ukrainian revolution after a fraudulent election a "coup". This unprovoked attack is the latest chapter in Putin's Orwellian attempt to rewrite history.

Pro-Russia narrative

NATO and the US have ignored Russia's security concerns by breaking its promise not to expand eastward in return for German reunification. These concerns are legitimate and taking them seriously would have avoided the Ukraine tragedy.

Nerd narrative

According to the Metaculus prediction community, if a bilateral cease-fire agreement is reached between Russia and Ukraine this year, it won't take effect until the end of June.

Pro-Trump narrative

Nancy Pelosi has weaponized the power of Congress against American citizens who rightfully and lawfully question the legitimacy of the Biden presidency. Her illegitimate panel continues to probe people who had nothing whatsoever to do with the actual attack on the US Capitol. The House Select Committee is putting on a political show trial.

Left narrative

The Select Committee is pursuing the truth about a deadly attack on democracy. Trump's allies have information to offer about the planning of the event and the trail of responsibility, evidence the Committee is seeking through lawful subpoenas. Meanwhile, the GOP Congressional caucus has chosen party over country and spurned their oaths to uphold the Constitution.

Right narrative

Cases and deaths are plummeting, yet the federal government continues to peddle COVID hysteria and further boosters that have questionable effectiveness. We need to focus on severe illness and death and learn to live with the virus.

Left narrative

Just because cases are low at the moment doesn't mean they will remain that way. We have seen this happen before and need to be proactive in combating another wave. The FDA recommends flu vaccines every year, and dealing with COVID should be no different.

Republican narrative

Irony has come home to roost for the Democrats, who were all gung-ho about COVID shutdowns, masking and vaccinations, yet couldn't stop spreading the virus amongst each other.

Democratic narrative

This is what sound COVID response anchored in science is all about - not denying the virus's severity as the GOP so often does. Testing prevented further spread, and being vaccinated and boosted allowed Pelosi and others to avoid severe symptoms or hospitalization.
