quackademicThis is not a drill.
On the collapse of unipolar power relations, forming of new alliances & paths for a way forward.
My take? White colonial hegemony is over. Religious nationalism & patriarchal supremacy are flourishing. As successive iterations of climate catastrophe bite, borders will harden further. Any social licence to do this rests on normalising the ‘othering’ of people who are ‘not like (the men who rule) us’. Cultivating hate IS, & will continue to be, the strategy.
What role does Australia choose to play here? Whose interests does our (two party roundabout, media enthralled, policy avoidant, team-sport-distraction running 🎪🤡🎡) government exist to serve? (Hint is in the brackets ⛏️ ⛏️ ⛏️ 😎)
What role do we choose to play, as people? For me, refusing to get sucked into black & white narratives & the demonisation of others, is the start.
Your take may be different from mine & that’s fine - but we’re all in this together. Let’s pay attention, friends.
Who do we want to be?
