@aus_pill Yes, 100% hiding behind social constructs allows for strategic positioning. It’s not about truth or fairness — it’s about power, status, and advantage dressed up in moral language.
@Tradingcartel_X@KobeissiLetter Was listening to someone talk about it as almost the i-shaped economy: a tiny elite at the top (the i's dot) drives most economic activity, spending, and gains
@TimjboAU@cjoye Australia once had a system that offered real upward mobility for the aspirational. Today, young Australians feel economically desperate rather than hopeful — watching an older generation pull the ladder up behind them.
Keir Starmer isn’t known for idea-clashing debates. His government rewards the echo chamber.
He will always prefer his own framing of what the Unite the Kingdom march is about rather than engaging with the actual premise.
His government doesn’t really want to hear what you think. He only wants you repeating back to him what he thinks. Starmerism results in bad decisions and the alienation of citizens when reality diverges from his script.
Being Australian is not just a piece of paper, the nation is more than a collection of individuals with legal documents. It’s a shared identity built on certain values, behaviors and a sense of belonging to the country and its history, culture, institutions, and way of life. Many Australians feel the erosion of this is very real and have been sending a message. Let see if government gets it.
@OzraeliAvi The activist and progressive Left for some years now have reached the stage where assassinating or killing political opponents is embraced.
@cjoye It seems easier for the ALP to just raise our taxes and enforce it by law than to actually fix the problems. For the moment the path of least resistance compared to tackling root causes.
