Serious counter-protest is pointless, in this case. Large-scale parody is what's required. I tend to agree that the opposition should be elsewhere - let the media report be about how 50 angry and confused morons waved placards and demanded being saved from nothing, not about the violence that erupted because stupid people took them too seriously. |

Oh, has anyone read the comments on the Safran piece? This is pretty hilarious.

To be fair news corp papers have been shifting towards the left on social issues, I assume due to new hires out of university and the click bait effect of such articles on their core readers. Their politics still seems to be firmly Libnat though (they did endorse Rudd I think in 07). |

That's a terrific punchy little piece by Andrew. Excellent stuff.
The sickening part about the pretend heartland and the co-option of the working class by the slimy right is that the most progressive and active amongst us work tirelessly for the benefit of working folk and their bloody kids! It's the greatest PR sham ever propagated!
And here's what the propagandists hate about folks like me: We oppose the oppression of minorities and the weakest amongst us; we oppose the needless killing of folk and raiding of the treasury in dumb wars; we oppose the sullying and neglect of the environment including poor neighbourhoods; we oppose the weakening of access to quality health and education; we oppose the increase of crime and violence through reactionary, unscientific policy; we oppose anti-competitive economic behaviour and sub-optimal economic policy! All in the interest of 99% of folk; the whole bloody lot!
Instead of being folk who spend hours keeping on top of issues in people's interest, and folk who help those down on their luck, and folk who try to work their biases, talents and foibles towards productive socio-economic ends, yep, it's folks like me who are the bloody problem with their penchant for craft ales and self-taught programming skills! What bloody social menaces! Duck for cover, everyone!
Disgraceful. Contemptible Stalinesque propaganda from the people who send kids to war to be killed on the public purse; who corruptly inflate prices through cronyistic, anti-competitive government privatisation and contract theft; who damage the environment and heap the costs on the public purse of tomorrow; who trap working folk in depressing or distant, unserviced neigbourhoods; and who work tirelessly to rip health and education access and living wages away from folks ranging from newborn babies and kids, to the elderly. _________________ In the end the rain comes down, washes clean the streets of a blue sky town.

I watched that on the news with my son and we discussed which of the two sides we supported.
We both agreed very quickly.
Given the opportunity to stand in the middle, punch all of them. They're all as bad as each other. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |
