Extremely smart thread by @mattsheffield.
Itâs our dose of optimism for the next year:
The generation that lived through the last big wave of oligarchy and fascism â around the 1940s â didnât vote for the party of big money for the rest of their lives, and we got the 1950s-1960s era of restraint on #oligarchs, workersâ rights, and civil rights.
If we can beat back this neofascist wave we face, we can do even more.
Happy New Year! #2023 #newyear
Not all boomers are the same. I'm saying this because a few people think all boomers have investment properties & big superannuation accounts. Not all boomers were into making $ while young. Some were radical & squatted to save homes for people who were being kicked out by developers & some refused to be conscripted for Vietnam War. We are still radical.
In fact we in the counter culture would call those who people now think is a BOOMERS MINDSET - straight. They couldn't handle us - thought we were dirty hippies & we couldn't handle them - the juice freak bread heads.
Below is an excerpt from a post in my blog about the Port Huron Statement. The excerpt is just an introduction which tells about my own head space of the time in early 1970's. The actual Port Huron Statement is very long. I posted it as I think it's an important document. If you wish to read it it is there in the link.
BTW - SDS = Students for a Democratic Society.

Here are the Greater metropolitan Sydney region LGAs for the week, comparing cases/100K vs % positive, with the bubbles sized by number of cases (all from PCR tests).
The Hills Shire and Georges River stand out for a third week, with extremely high cases/100K, combined with high % positive. Georges River reported a very high 30% positive rate from PCR tests.
The Sydney region reported an aggregate 24% positive rate (up from 19%), with many LGAs a lot higher. This indicates inadequate PCR testing and many undiscovered cases

Would you call your Jenny Morrison puffpiece 'journalism', James?

Some people on this website seem to confuse journalism and activism. In the last year Iâve interviewed 3 political leaders: Anthony Albanese, Peter Dutton and. Adam Bandt and asked them about their policies and what they will do with political power. Thatâs called journalism
