‘Self-termination is most likely’: the history and future of societal collapse
An epic analysis of 5,000 years of civilisation argues that a global collapse is coming unless inequality is vanquished
www.theguardian.com
“History is best told as a story of organised crime,”
…”people are fundamentally egalitarian but are led to collapses by enriched, status-obsessed elites, while past collapses often improved the lives of ordinary citizens.”

I wonder if ASIO investigates the foreign interference in our country by assumed allies and friends.
I wonder if the AFP has ever bothered to investigate dual citizens and IDF members for war crimes.
I wonder why *not* either of those things….
And why this is kept hidden from Australian citizens.

Australia’s sales of big cars are out of control
Australia has a big “big car” problem; we have too many SUVs and utes, and we keep getting lots more of them.

What is the actual point of democracy if a corporate donation carries infinitely more value than your vote?
Time to address the chronic donation-induced corruption of our election process…before Australia arrives at the same sorry state as American politics.

IF, as a voter, you expect politicians to prioritise issues most important to society, and not pander to the whims of corporate donors & and their seedy lobbyists, political donations MUST be limited in size and restricted to registered voters.
We, the voters, need to take back democracy

SBS told us last week how there are lawyers tracking over a dozen Aussies serving in the IDF & preparing criminal complaints. What we are not hearing are the huge donations & support from communities in Aus.

Gas is climate poison. Anyone lobbying for anything other than the fastest possible wind down of extraction is facilitating the destruction of the living world. If people are struggling to pay their energy bills that’s a wealth distribution problem not a not enough gas problem. Watch your framing.

What breeds resentment and hatred more than just about anything else, is feeling powerless, oppressed and marginalised. Silencing one group’s right to voice their feelings about global events, in order to protect the feelings of another group, will not improve social cohesion in any way.
