What’s wild is how people trust cops in this country. Watch the Moonlight State and know the joke is alive and well.

Good bot!

When you think the Brisbane Times couldn’t be more of a rag - not that I would expect political literacy from an outfit that struggles even with journalism but bloody hell.

Fraser Annings office was literally in our CBD - like come off it.

I’m surprised noone has mentioned Fraser Anning - he was going to mask off neo-Nazi rallies and when the Christchurch massacre happened he basically came out in Parliament and said “they deserve it”.

When he was censured, he doubled down in his last speech.

Or the guy who outright says he’s a “science skeptic”.

We’re very literally banana republic and it shows often.

I had a friend once who said fascists just needed to “get it out of their system” when we were talking about the Boogaloo Boys a few days before the Jan6 insurrection. We’re both queer - a week or so before we were talking about how mutual trans friends of ours were being bashed in our city and that was an explicitly bad thing - I had to realize they might have only cared because they knew them personally.

I was honestly stun-locked by the whole conversation and all the little implications it made.

Never felt safe around them after that.

When former partners came out saying they were an abuser, I knew they were right.

No tolerance for intolerance.

Back at you, bootlicker.

How you still have faith in a status quo that’s actively fucking us all says so much. The absolute limit of your imagination is to graduate being abused and become the boot - which is sad as hell because no matter what you do you’ll never be rich enough to escape this. You’re too far behind, dude - you can’t afford to pay your way out of what’s coming. Accept it. You’re disposable. They’ll die laughing at you for selling your life away for table scraps.

Putting the boot into other poors isn’t going to stop you from being who/where you are.

Of all of us, you’re going to fall the hardest no matter how hard you run away - and all the supports you’ll need to ease you through ‘failing’ at neoliberalism on a dying planet will have been cannibalised by upstanding, fanatically Thatcherite cunts like yourself.

When your time comes, and I say this earnestly, be sure to do the rest of us a favour and post your plot so we can organise a schedule for pissing on it. You’ll be like the forgotten soldier for contemporary idiots.

Yikes.

Odds on, political donations.

This boils down to “fuck you, got mine”.

That money is our clapped out health system. That money is our clapped out education system. That money is rebuilding towns from the next season of bushfires - hell, maybe they’ll work in some climate resistant infrastructure. That money is land management. That money is research for the CSIRO. That money is social housing.

That money is department funding to go after multinationals.

That money is stopping someone else from needing to put up with the bullshit of food scarcity you did.

This isn’t America and thank fuck. If we stop spending, it falls apart and we’ve been putting off maintaining our society for decades now. Grow and stop seeing the bullshit you went through as validation to put others through worse.

Piss off - it’s absolutely moronic policy. Yes, give teeth to attack multinationals, but tax millionaires, ffs. I’m tired of hearing about new tax loopholes for people who’ve never struggled a day in their lives - corporate or civilian.

Stage 3 is theft.

Literally happened to me. I went back to my primary school for work experience - I had the incredible pleasure of being placed with a teacher who had inspired me a lot as a younger kid.

I’ll never forget. One time at lunch, she just sat down with me on duty and said in the most soul deep tired voice I’ve heard “is this what you want?”. Don’t think she said a word after. Woke me right up.

It’s criminal what we’ve done to our education system.

They’re Liberals wearing red at this point…

It would be so cool if they set up instances!

I’d rather have dental in Medicare or a stable home I could rent but ok

It’s called X blue now. Because that’s the colour of the… oh.

Meanwhile, as schools and hospitals are left chronically underfunded…

No, you’re alright, I think you’re entirely justified to rant about that. We continue being a very short sighted species.

Agreed on the barrel. Truly, I’ll just be happy when we all stop framing them as a legitimate opposition. Now that Labor has decided to become the hot new Neoliberal corporate lapdog, the LNP offer nothing but accelerationist regression.

With earnest, grounded work and hope, we might back from the last 30 years of centre-right madness.

They recently started sending newsletter emails (hit my spam, thank God) that were super excited to let us know about his friends sharing “rare insight” into the “real Peter Dutton” which was just a fucking wild thing to hear.

Like if your leader requires “rare insight” for people to think he’s not an ethically bankrupt sociopath/crypto christiofascist then jesus christ.

LNP-lite. I hope they haven’t gone cold enough to stop feeling shame. Something important died back when the tree of knowledge was poisoned.
