Left wing populism is premised on muticultural solidarity and social advocacy.

Right wing populism is based on monocultural discrimination and social vandalism.

Populism is not populism

NZ Green Party isn't "looney left". Their fiscal policy is pragmatic. Their alternative budget is well-researched. Their income tax policy is a match for Australia's. Their proposed wealth tax is close to Norway's successful implementation. This is a principled stand unconcerned about labels. #nzpol

Fossil fuels are harmful in a million different ways, but the immediate impacts they have has been broadly understated

If climate change were a hoax their severe, deadly health impacts would alone be enough justification to still get rid of them

Mini marsupial bounces back from the brink!

Once listed as Endangered, the crest-tailed mulgara expanded its range by more than 48,000 km² between 2015 and 2021, lifting its status to Least Concern. Biocontrol contributed to the heartwarming bounce-back.

I guess this has probably already gone viral somewhere but I am simply dying at this picture of a bear that looks like it hired a photographer to do a glamour shoot

For every politician and journalist who supported Israel's onslaught, or stayed silent:

This photograph should haunt you for the rest of your life.

You will never scrub the shame away. No future achievement, however great, will ever erase what you helped inflict on Gaza.

A tipping point has been reached.

Gaza is now starving to death in front of the whole world.

Those who facilitated and justified this abomination were given ample warning for 21 months.

You have no excuses, and nowhere to hide: you will be held to account for what you've done.
Gaza health ministry says 33 people dead from malnutrition in last 48 hours
New figures from the Hamas-run ministry include 12 children who have died, as the UN says Israel must allow aid into Gaza.

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative.

A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

It's the same logic that afflicts ACT stans here who shriek "Stop calling everything racist!" when Seymour is called out for his latest racist policy.

Attempting to dismantle tools/programmes put in place to address systemic racism is a racist act. And performing a racist act makes you racist.
This NYT sleight-of-hand is part of why Trump’s insane racism flourishes. The implication is that it’s possible to “attack diversity” WITHOUT a “racist undercurrent.”

And it “surfaces” - as though Trump hasn’t been a rabid and explicit racist for years, and this is some new tone.
