Cannot emphasise enough how intensely fascist / violent it is to criminalise the act of being publicly opposed to civilian murder on false pretences

It is not hyperbole at all to present these government actions as something that will cause serious harm in a bunch of different ways

I MADE A DEATH OF THE HEART READING LIST
it’s no secret that the record has deep political themes interwoven into the songs. If the lyrics of this record resonated with you, here’s some books that really shaped much of my politic, and by proxy shaped the themes of DEATH OF THE HEART

'Timothy Roberts, president of the NSW Council for Civil Liberties, said police already had the ability to challenge protests in court, as they recently demonstrated.

"But with respect to neo-Nazis, they have let this one straight through to the keeper."

It surprises me that Musk’s arrogant, autocratic, incompetent, mistake-prone, drug-addled, and deadly reign at DOGE is not mentioned. Nor does it discuss his Nazi salute, support for far-right political causes, and turning Twitter into a purveyor of lies and hate.

Donald Trump can completely turn around his legacy and the way historians view him with two simple words, on the last day of his presidency, during his farewell speech, if he closes by saying

Maybe unleashing secret militarized police on the public while taking food from the poor wasn’t the electoral masterstroke we all thought it was.

- Franking credits
- Corporate subsidies

They know the climate chaos coming, they know their decision will make it worse, and kill any hope of mitigation, but they did it anyway - for their own benefit.
Not a principle among them.

A wonderful song ❤️

Pete Shelley & The Buzzcocks were half watching the musical ‘Guys and Dolls’. “This line just leapt out at me: “Have you ever fallen in love with someone you shouldn’t’ve? Wait till it happens to you.” I thought, “Ooh. That gives me an idea.”

2. always obey the company unless it conflicts with Law 1.
3. fuck the poor.

I've seen ABC refer to the Nazi rallies as "anti mass immigration rallies" over and over, exactly what Nazis want labelled as, legitimising them.

In contrast, not once have I heard the Palestine rallies called anti-genocide or anti-colonial. I wonder what that's about 🙄

And it’s coming for Australia too…

No democracy is safe from fascism, and centre left collaborators who do nothing by allowing minorities get thrown under the bus need to be called out as such before it takes hold

You don’t converse with fascists. You exclude, shame, ridicule, and fight.
This. ALL minoritised people are targets here, & the govt will use media narratives to strengthen their position any way they can. Media attacking trans ppl? They'll use it. Media bashing migrants? They'll use that. Muslims, disabled ppl, GRT ppl (always ignored in these convos) - ALL targets.
We need to be clear: The govt aren't talking about weakening incitement laws because trans people are less protected than migrants and asylum seekers.

The govt are talking about weakening incitement laws BOTH OF THESE INCIDENTS ARE IN THE NEWS CYCLE RIGHT NOW.
