LKY took Singapore “from Third World to First.” This account explores how growth, order and civic culture can help Australia avoid decline.

Twelve years ago, Jess Wilson’s husband, Aaron Lane, was dropped as a Liberal candidate and lost his job over offensive tweets made years earlier.

Since then, he has gone on to become a successful lawyer and academic. I’ve seen no evidence of further controversies or complaints against him. In fact, he appears to be well-liked and highly regarded.

He was just 26 when he was disendorsed.

The person who replaced him served one term in Parliament and has otherwise made an unremarkable contribution to political life and the Liberals lost that election ushering in 12 years of possibility on of the worst state Labor governments in the history of Australia.

Knowing what we know now, was that the right decision?

Given Lane’s subsequent success, despite the handicap imposed on him by the party, might he not have made a greater contribution had he simply been given the opportunity to disavow those comments and move on? They could have become a small footnote in his political career rather than the defining event of it.

I’m unaware of the details of Lindemann’s contribution to the party or his character and there may well be more to this story so I’m not suggesting his circumstances are identical to Lane’s.

But this game that’s played every election, where people who have stuck their necks out for a party are summarily disowned and disavowed over past comments, often anodyne, sometimes heterodox and occasionally genuinely offensive, hasn’t exactly worked out well for the Liberal Party or the broader political class, has it?

#BREAKING 🚨 The Victorian Liberals have disendorsed Williamstown candidate Paul Lindemann after it was revealed he made what the party called "unacceptable and offensive" comments about Indigenous people

He will remain on the ballot as a Liberal because nominations have closed

Hillary Clinton can famously tell when a man is lying and would NEVER get duped by the Russians.

Hillary Clinton on the Jensen Huang spy scandal:

I will predict to you what will happen when Trump sees Xi Jinping in a few weeks.

He will say to Xi Jinping, like he said to Putin, "Is this true?" And Xi Jinping will say, "Of course it's not, Donald. You know that we wouldn't do that to you."

And then Trump will come out and say, "I asked President Xi if it were true, and he assured me it wasn't."

he doesn't believe anything pre-1997 was real

it's all myths to him, used to justify whatever he currently wants

Really tired of this take. Everyone knows there've been 70 years of material and technological progress since the '50s.

People's dissatisfaction is about what life is like *in spite of that*. The gap between how good life should be, and how good it is, seems wider than ever.

Like him or hate him, I know he enjoys this - but still, it continues to prove one thing: THE POLICE AREN'T HERE TO DEFEND YOUR RIGHTS OR HELP YOU. Their job is to keep order for the state using force. They will use it against the path of least resistance: https://t.co/xEfJfI9leE

Between this and the astroturfed anti-data center movement and the Dem takeover of Congress it has been a GENERATIONAL winning streak for the Chinese Communist Party.

Most people totally misunderstand the Rhodesian cause. The believe they were driven by racial prejudice and the refusal to share power with the black majority. In a few decades they built world leading infrastructure and governance in a pre-literate region. At that point 1/3 of the black population were migrants drawn by the country’s prosperity.

Rhodesia saw the terrible rapid decent into authoritarianism and violence in other African nations once they achieved independence like the Congo and wanted avoid that. They had some of the best literacy programs and conditions for their countrymen and there was a pathway to shared power but the forces of communism and resentment set out to destroy this. Despite winning every battle, Rhodesia was betrayed and now the institutions and prosperity they built have been destroyed.

This is why we are all Rhodesians now. This is not a fight for hierarchy but a fight for civilization against third worldists that would prefer we were all equally poor and destitute than all unequally prosperous and free.
