The less said, on this platform (because most of us don’t need reminding) about #PaulineHanson the better. Unless of course it is in the course of throwing some more ridicule on the ridiculest: towit #AnnabelCrabb — who suddenly begins to be awake to it —and her critique of #PHON call to #monoculture:

“Pauline Hanson herself, meanwhile, popped back into the chat regularly over the week to offer helpful definitional prompts including that Japan is a monoculture.

Now, this in itself should have been a clue that it was well past time for everybody to go home for a lie down.

Because if there's anything more hallucination-inducing than the woman who 30 years ago had her undies in a bunch about too many Asians suddenly fancying we should be a bit more like Japan, I don't care to imagine it.

And yet. And yet. Unbelievably, there were still players willing to trudge out and engage, seriously, with the question of whether we should be Japan.”

Thanks for the merriment Annabel, may all your future pieces and vids carry the same clarity of political nous. And for all those polies still wondering what monoculture is, I’ll give you all a clue… it’s about #Cults … sit with that for a while.

Opinion
"America's 'independence' celebrates 250 years of jingoism and genocide
The myth of US freedom, retold by nationalist historians, politicians and corporate media, erases the slavery, dispossession and white supremacy on which the republic was built.
.,.,.,.,
Rather than calling on America's citizenry to celebrate a regime that historically oppressed most of them and seeks to oppress more in the future, as Trump and Obama do, critical historians, journalists, activists and oppositional politicians must insist on condemning the white-supremacist, sexist and classist project of the founding fathers and disavowing them once and for all as the anti-freedom crusaders that they were - seeking freedom exclusively for white Anglo-Saxon property-owning and slave-owning men.

It is the millions of Americans who resisted, and continue to resist, this oppressive system in the hope of bringing about a veritable democracy who must be celebrated on the Fourth of July, not the system that oppresses them."
