Far-right ‘gangster morality’ and the search for meaning: why you should read Camus
theconversation.com/far-right-ga...
Australian media isn’t covering this but what’s happening in Cuba is dreadful. Trump signed an executive order cutting off Cuba’s last oil supply. Ten million people are paying with their lives. Sewage systems are failing, food is rationed, it’s getting worse.
In war, civilians suffer, while the rich line their pockets.
Oil profits are up. Weapons companies are booming.
Meanwhile, schools and hospitals get bombed, and thousands die.
War makes billionaires and their corporations even richer. It’s just another business model for them.
I know it's hard to track all the threats to democracy out there right now, but this is at the top of the list.
Really interesting and illuminating. The ABC doing its job.
and Hannah Arendt

Pauline Hanson, who never stops ranting about “elites”, is in hot water after failing to declare a ride on Gina Rinehart’s private jet to attend a cooker conference in the US, breaching parliamentary rules requiring declarations of gifts from multibillionaires. 🙄 #auspol

In Melbourne’s Springvale, one in four residents speaks Vietnamese at home. Another 10 per cent come from China or Cambodia. In Sydney’s Fairfield, one in four residents were born in Vietnam, Cambodia or China. In Sydney’s Five Dock, long after the heyday of immigration from Europe, one in seven residents still speaks Italian at home. In Melbourne’s North Caulfield, 41 per cent of residents are Jews, including hundreds who have lately fled South Africa. Dandenong now has an official Little Indian Cultural Precinct, with 33 Indian businesses. Such colonising will increasingly be our future as we gain a critical mass of born-overseas migrants. Like tends to attract like and these new colonies can then more easily keep their cultures thanks to satellite TV, the internet, and cheap travel.
In Andrew Bolt's infamous 2018 "tidal wave of immigrants column", he specifically singled out Jewish communities as 'part of the problem'
The idea that the far-right, anti-immigration parties and xenophobe media are going to protect the Aus Jewish community is absurd

Who turned up the next day with meals, smiles, support and comradery? People genuinely seeking to build community & provide a light of hope?
The Catholic Church? Pfft. Hillsong? Give me a spell. Exclusive Brethren? One Nation? The Young Liberals? Yeah....right

So, no change then.
The age gap makes a difference too. Being a late boomer with parents who became adults in the late 50's early 60's can be a bit like winning the lottery compared to millennials or later.

My heart particularly aches for all peaceful, secular Jewish people, all non Zionist Jewish people of Australia who are silenced by a powerful pro genocidal Zionist executive council who have appointed themselves the only spokesperson for all Jewry matters. It must be terrifying for you.
