This is the #USA now. The haves and the have nots. It's a #SelfServingBillionairesOligarchy The countries founders would be ashamed and aghast. Apparently they voted for this, twice?

Relentless "improvement" of the countryside leaves no space for nature.
But ever more people are now helping the wild return, through *rewilding*.
No matter who you are or where you live, you too have a part to play in the fight.
There is no better New Year's resolution.

I am currently listening to Richard Dennis discuss exactly this, how ALP and LNP work in cahoots adopting supposedly "centrist" positions and how the MSM plays along with the strategy. It's a really good analysis

Nigel Farage - the self-serving shyster who helped deliver a disastrous Brexit.
Either he's a Russian asset. Or one of Putin's 'useful idiots'.
Take your pick.
I'm going for the first ....🇷🇺

Farage makes no secret of his admiration for the ugly politics of Trump, Vance, Musk and Andrew Tate.. and his willingness to do Putin’s bidding (eg, Brexit). We just have to hope that fair-minded British people will ultimately choose tolerance and kindness over anger and division and reject Reform.
“We have sacrificed our national success because of our fear of immigration. And now, if Farage has his way, we'll do it all over again”
Superb, important analysis of the profound harm Farage does to our country in his rabidly racist and egotistical bid for power

As in USA, Australian politicians are still wedded to neoliberal ideology.
Why…because they & their donors profit.
That this inequality accelerating dogma still persists is because voters have failed to collectively reject it.
Duopoly politics has entrenched it and a new political paradigm is needed

Since 1975, $79 trillion in wealth has been redistributed from the bottom 90% to the top 1% — a 1% that now owns more wealth than the bottom 93%.
We can respect innovation & entrepreneurship, but we cannot respect the extraordinary greed that now exists.
We need a wealth tax.
