Now that fascism has become normalized the fascists are jumping to the fascist party. In a way it's a triumph for the Australian electoral system.

My impression was that men are worse at building and maintaining relationships and so more likely to be lonely and less likely to do anything about it, hence the focus on men.

Well it’s not my parody, and sadly Poe’s Law has only gotten stronger as the years have gone by so there are always going to be off-piste reactions from the less media literate.

It’s a parody account that lampoons the insipid both-sides horse race style of political reporting of the NYT.

Thanks. That seemed like the sort of thing I'd have known about beforehand so I was looking for a source.

Exactly. I'd be fine with companies greenwashing all they wanted if these carbon credits were actually properly offsetting carbon output. But the sad fact is that most of these carbon credits have been credibly reported to be bogus.

True, though America's perpetual election cycle is the aberration there. I don't reckon any other country has anything like it.

They've kowtowed to monied interests far too often and treated real issues like the housing crisis like boxes to be ticked off with ineffectual policy and a victory lap after passage. They're politicians through and through in other words.

But that's campaigning, and it's probably the biggest flaw in democracy that the skillset required to get the job is entirely unrelated to the skillset required to do the job. Labor so far haven't impressed in government.

But by the same token he was a more effective campaigner than most gave him credit for. Labor ran a tight, disciplined, competent campaign and the LNP just kicked a series of own-goals and made it very clear they had no real policies.

I've noticed the same from Xi and Putin - their language toward the countries they want to invade is conspicuously rape-y.

Reign of the Seven Spellblades makes you think you’re reading Japanese Harry Potter, but then things get awesome near the end of the first book where it uses the fact that you think you know what you’re reading to pull a hard left turn. And it just keeps getting better. And crazier. And horrific.

In exactly the same way as deeply religious states try to prove their religion by becoming hell on earth.

Even now, it's a toss-up and personally I'd say China is still worse because of its military belligerence against several other countries including military incursions into other countries sovereign territory (though China claim that territory without justification).

Seems more like the Tory’s are growing their loss. Labor’s voting intention seems pretty static.
