Our Rulers Are Psychopaths And They’re Making Everything Awful
You’d think all this evidence that we are ruled by deranged psychopaths would unite us against them, but it doesn’t. The population is more angrily, bitterly divided against itself than ever.

A govt complicit in the worst abuses.

It supports Israel’s genocide and funds the US military.
Australia declines to join statement criticising Israel for Unrwa demolition The Albanese government has declined to sign up to an international statement expressing concern about Israel demolishing an aid agency’s headquarters. The foreign ministers of 11 nations, including the UK, Canada and France, strongly condemned Israel for demolishing the East Jerusalem headquarters of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (Unrwa) in a joint statement issued on 28 January. It called on Israel “to fully abide by its obligations to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip in accordance with international law”, saying current aid levels were inadequate. Canberra was invited to join the most recent declaration, but declined the offer without an explanation, one diplomatic source told AAP.
