My article in the Conversation today with @tomdoig.bsky.social on prepping culture in Australia. It’s not all guns and bunkers.
What is prepping – and how does it work in Australia?
Prepping in Australia is distinctive: less about guns and militias; more about food, water and community. While anti-government preppers are a problem, they’re rare.

This is an interesting article and patrimonialism is definitely part of the picture here. The work of sociologist Julia Adams builds on Weber in original and interesting ways and should definitely be on your reading lists.

As @jvl.bsky.social pointed out, Harris ran a smart campaign. She was a solid candidate. Trump ran a disastrous campaign and is in clear decline. This was a clear choice. No matter who wins, half of voters either chose bigotry and authoritarianism, or had no problem with it. And that’s hard to take.

There’s a lot that the democrats could have done differently. Personally I would have liked them to go far left rather than try to court moderate voters. But I get the strategy; “maybe we can give people an out if they personally find Trump gross.” But the thing is,
