you lost this argument before you started engaging in condescending languages towards someone who you aren't even fit to sharpen a pencil for.

Fascism is BY DEFINITION a counter-revolutionary reaction from elites to a revolutionary moment/movement.

No elite or revolution can impose Communism & fascism simultaneously, since they're diametrically opposed in many respects. even if they may have superficial similarities in terms of authority.

did she really say to meadow "Trump is a Communist dictator" ? I'm not going to fact check for myself. Maddow is beyond watchable for me.

We need a bigger tent, that’s why we must betray and expel the following types of people:

ouch!

dog → tail → wag → performative activism

Climate Coucil have always been dragged to any significant position they adopt kicking and screaming.

emblematic of what's going on at much higher levels than operations.

neoliberal conservatives are all concerned about the "independence" of the Reserve Bank, for all the wrong reasons… which puts progressives in a double bind critiquing this whole sh!t show.

there's much better than AOC, she's playing the same game many of her senior colleagues played. talk a revolution when you are young, do nothing to start one, and move into leadership while banking cheques all along the way.

when you say mainstream media, i take it you mean mega-corporation owned media, right? how mainstream is it when breakfast news "journalists" casually suggest imprisoning all the homeless people, and the other, agreeing, says, or just euthanize them all with terminal injections…

call it what it is, mega-corporate owned media. nothing mainstream about a morning show host suggesting homeless people be jailed for being homeless and another one suggesting that they all just just get euthanized with a shot in the arm. that's not mainstream even for sick SUA, next-level schtick.

markets are a state creation in the first instance. we couldn't have "free markets" without hundreds of years of property law leading up to that. we didn't have a labour market without the state creating the concept of unemployment (taxation creates unemployment, look up the Hut Tax on wikipedia).

a rookie error for someone so practiced at fawning to the powerful and great.

"It is fiendishly difficult to tie down the exact causes of any cancer, even though we know all cancers are caused by genes."

We know wat? Can't confuse effect (mutation) with cause (vectors → cell mutation). Nutrition remains main cause factor. Most human cancers' favorite food is animal protein.

wow that's pretty sad and yes, short-sighted. not that I rate Uni Melb at anything… but still, shows how we failed to protect our education institutions from the first blow of Hawke/Dawkins onwards … consequences are the fruit of intentions.

right back at you Christine Villaverde.

the MAGA Movement (with the psychotic Steven Bannon as quarterback) have been getting books banned from public and school libraries all through red states. ramping up rhetoric on everything, opponents are now domestic terrorists. are you sleep-walking your way through your "comfortable with this"…

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

Exactly this

LOL, Biden was getting read to have a nap. Dems elite are owned by AIPAC

harris dropped tim waltz as running mate and toured with Liz Chenney FFS. a woman who outed and disowned her own sister to win votes in Texas and was the daughter of one of US’s more noteworthy war criminals and war hawks. WTAF were they thinking?!?!?

no im squarely blaming Democrats. Harris doubled down on support for Israel. that killed the Democratic turn out in all states. especially amongst young voters who’s ‘lying eyes’ saw what they saw in Gaza even when Dems told them not to believe their eyes. “right to defend” and all that 🐄🐂💩 .

but enviro orgs in Australia often sell their connections and influence within Federal and state Labor parties to their major donors. And it's Labor who is taking the FF donations.

some enviro orgs in Oz r nothing more than green marketing/fund-raising orgs with ineffective political strategies.

in Australia the links to Fossil Fuel orgs are not really evident in the climate & environmental orgs themselves, not the "credible" ones. I know Naomi Klein showed how connected many USA environmental orgs were captured by Fossil Fuels in (not to mention Universities) in “This Changes Everything”.

"requires huge inflows of capital to keep inflation and interest rates under control"

huh? wat on Earth are you trying to say?

paying interest requires inflows of currency from where exactly?!

did you know that the Central Bank in USA/UK/Japan/Australia spends their currency into existence be it to pay bond coupons or build schools and hospitals or whatever else they spend on. don't need to borrow or sell bonds to spend.

the US public debt is not like a household debt. look up Sectorial Balances. public debt === private savings. it’s an accounting identity. the US Govt is the monopoly currency issuer.
