I was reading some quotes by Hitler the other day and had to double check the webpage name as I'm pretty sure Trump had said all of them.

Elon and the tech bros are trying to rip apart the EU because no-one else is allowed to have nice things.

I just had my kids 12 & 15yr olds watch this, which they loved btw. However, I didn't think about how to offer the other side's viewpoint (in the interest of unbiased education). Short of having to expose them to the likes of Jordan Peterson, does anyone have any suggestions?

It's like watching a society of DV victims trying to justify the abuse they endure. Fuck the exploitative billionaires and utility owners!

To be fair, melting ice in water doesn't increase water volume, there are multiple studies that show mebendazole etc can improve cancer outcomes and California wildfires may have been exacerbated by some of the choices made by the state. The problem isn't that they're wrong, they're being misled.

The labour government do this for everything they want to change without good cause. Check out what they say about home education in regards to bringing in the children's wellbeing bill. It's outrageous!

It is! It's also other things like human/worker rights. The point is how it's packaged makes a huge difference to how people receive and fight against it. It's a psychological manipulation used all the time by governments. Word the title of a policy in a specific way, you get less push back.

I think there is. I'm also aware that many people would feel threatened by the concept of resistance to economic power and instantly turn off the idea. Very few people would admit to being opposed to social justice. Positive narrative keeps discussion open, negative language closes it down

I don't think bigging up resistance to economic power. Maybe defends social justice would be a more positive narrative.

This is a great idea, not because of Reform, but because of an increase in very non specific legislation that seems to do more to confuse than clarify our legal position in so many areas of our lives. The CWB could be interpreted anywhere from freedom to home educate to destroying it completely!
