My New Year's resolution is to continue living more authentically offline, driving away poorly suited circles & attracting rad people with similar values and vibes. And to be wayyyyyy more annoying on the internet.

This is about all protest and all free expression, from here on out. Our establishment knows social discontent will only grow as the climate worsens, the slaughters continue, and the rich extract harder. They're not fixing anything, and they don't want you to be able to resist.

@albomp.bsky.social is requesting the Governor General to send an invitation to Israeli President to visit Australia.
This invitation to the head of state of Israel is offensive to all those supporters of Palestinians 🇵🇸
Israel is continuing to commit #Genocide.
This will only inflame the matter.

You don't even need conspiracy theories of blackmail and spies to understand why the West keeps supporting Israel.
It's just capitalism, doing capitalist things.
Extracting land, gas, testing tech/weapons on humans, justified with racism. Depravity is extremely profitable.

Everyone has their favourite writers and commentators on particular topics. And when it comes to Australian politics, mine are very easy to nominate; Amy Remeikis, Dave Milner and Ronni Salt. If you're not familiar with their work, do yourself a favour, they're all outstanding.

Western nations colluding with Israel to televise a genocide and demand we all go along with it is an exercise in destroying empathy, democracy and human rights. If we accept it, which we currently are, the next wave of brutality will target us directly.
