Took my father in law who is visiting from the UK to @Bunnings the other day. He keeps calling it "Bunions."

One of the biggest obstacles to building a robust anti-war movement is people's belief that their own individual activism and opposition makes no difference, which is simply not true. Your individual activism and opposition makes *ALMOST* no difference, not no difference. These might sound similar, but they're actually literally an entire infinity apart.

If your efforts to oppose our track toward WW3 made no difference, then those efforts would be pointless. But if your efforts make even the slightest bit of difference above absolute zero, all that means is a lot more people need to join you to help turn us away from this dangerous trajectory.

Hollywood has given us the wrong impression of how these things work, because the narrative structure of movies always places all its emphasis on the actions of the individual protagonist having an immensely consequential effect. Luke Skywalker blows up the Death Star. Frodo destroys the One Ring. The Avengers save the universe. They need to make the hero's actions have major consequences to make you care about their adventure.

But real life isn't like that. In real life it takes many, many people to bring about real change. The actions of one individual make very little difference; even people like me who have larger-than-average voices are just a tiny drop in the bucket in the grand scheme of things.

Real change doesn't depend on the individual, it depends on the collective. We can see this just by looking around society, at what a massive billions-of-cast-members collective improvisation human civilization is. It takes the collective to keep civilization functioning, and it will take the collective to change it.

One bee sting won't protect the hive, but many bee stings is deadly. The bee doesn't hesitate because its one individual sting isn't going to bring about its Hollywood ending — it just stings.

We need to be like that. Sting with all the power of your one sting, whatever that may be. Organizing. Attending protests. Guerrilla street activism. Writing. Tweeting. Making memes. Distributing literature. Talking to people. Making videos. Whatever you can do to help wake up the rest of the bees and alert them to the threat that our collective hive has come under.

You won't stop the empire by yourself. You won't make a major difference. But you will make *A* difference. And there's nothing anyone can do to stop you from making that small difference that you can make.

Take that unstoppable small difference and work toward getting as many of the others to do the same, because enough unstoppable small differences will necessarily add up to becoming an unstoppable big difference. And once we hit that point, healthy change becomes inevitable.

Can we have some more of this please?

How sweet it is!
Paul Keating eviscerates a string of journalists for their shoddy biased reporting on China & #AUKUS
He takes them to task for not knowing facts, for exaggeration, &for one for the most egregious journalism in 50 years.

@RodLaverArena Genuine question re "no backpack policy": I have a TINY backpack, smaller than most handbags. Why did it have to be cloaked last night? Told size doesn't matter; it's a "two straps issue."

[Bean @SomersetBean]

A 3 tweet reminder that the US government's 3 central accusations against Julian Assange are false. 🧵👇

1. Even the Pentagon has admitted nobody was harmed by WikiLeaks' publications. However, much harm was revealed...

Australian Prime Minister Albanese refuses to meet with Assange’s family https://t.co/3qnPd469Pm

@gracie_je Outrageous that the instructor said that to you 😥 Try working with a Yoga Therapist such as Caroline Giles or Somatic Yoga/Pilates practitioner like Erica Webb. Both Melbourne based offering in person and online classes.

Assange Is Doing His Most Important Work Yet

As important as his WikiLeaks publications are, none of them exposed the depravity of the empire as much as forcing them to look us in the eye and tell us they'll extradite a journalist for telling the truth.

[Shae Rhianna @ShaeRhianna]

Really hoping I wake up one day soon to discover that Julian Assange is back home in Australia, a free man. Show us what you're really worth @AlboMP. #FreeAssange

[WikiLeaks @wikileaks]

Upcoming Dates:
- Decision on Assange extradition is due THIS WEEK (on or before Fri 17 June)
- Int’l Day In Support Of Victims Of Torture: June 26
- Assange’s 51st Birthday (Fourth detained for publishing in UK prison): July 3
- Anniversary collateral murder incident: July 12

People often assume there is a natural connection between capitalism and democracy. Sometimes the two concepts are virtually fused together.

I always find this odd, because I value democracy. But there is nothing democratic about capitalism. 🧵

Year after year, Australian prime ministers and officials have been asked to stand up for Julian #Assange. They've done nothing. They've colluded. “By failing to act," says Stella Assange, [they are] not just negligent; it shows that whoever is in office is not fit for office."

[Shae Rhianna @ShaeRhianna]

Hey @TotoAlbanese, as you're the goodest boy would you please have a chat to your Dad @AlboMP about the journalist being persecuted for telling the truth? Thanks mate x #FreeJulianAssange #FreeAssangeNOW #FreeAssange

"Enough is enough. I can't see what is served by keeping Julian Assange incarcerated."—New Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese @AlboMP #FreeAssangeNOW #auspol

This is 100% what I did @barriecassidy. Voted #1 @AlexDyson in Wannon. As did 20% of the electorate. Epic result.

[Barrie Cassidy @barriecassidy]

Good point. The Labor primary vote is down in part because many traditional labor supporters strategised and voted for independents in seats labor couldn’t win. And anecdotally many were very comfortable doing it.

Congratulations @AlboMP! Now can we #FreeJulianAssange ?! #auspoll #AusVotes2022 #FreeAssangeNOW #FreeAssange
