Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

Frydenberg’s comments are misleading because they conflate two very different situations: a politically motivated mass terror attack linked (at least narratively) to post–October 7 antisemitism, and the Bondi killings by a man described by police as having isis issues driven by ideology.

Doesn't matter where you are in the world, greed is consuming multinationals.
Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.
UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.
Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Labor are sneaking through extraordinary powers to let police and ASIO cut peoples welfare if they’ve been charged with a crime.
This is an unacceptable power grab, and will harm families and partners of people reliant on payments to survive.
