Meanwhile, people die.

Yeah, I’m kind of shocked how dissociated the comments this thread are from what they’re talking about. People are dying, right now - people will die as a result of this, too.

We’re talking about death, here. Needless, wasteful death. War is hell - not an economic stimulus package.

Literally happened to me. I went back to my primary school for work experience - I had the incredible pleasure of being placed with a teacher who had inspired me a lot as a younger kid.

I’ll never forget. One time at lunch, she just sat down with me on duty and said in the most soul deep tired voice I’ve heard “is this what you want?”. Don’t think she said a word after. Woke me right up.

It’s criminal what we’ve done to our education system.

Piss off - it’s absolutely moronic policy. Yes, give teeth to attack multinationals, but tax millionaires, ffs. I’m tired of hearing about new tax loopholes for people who’ve never struggled a day in their lives - corporate or civilian.

Stage 3 is theft.

This boils down to “fuck you, got mine”.

That money is our clapped out health system. That money is our clapped out education system. That money is rebuilding towns from the next season of bushfires - hell, maybe they’ll work in some climate resistant infrastructure. That money is land management. That money is research for the CSIRO. That money is social housing.

That money is department funding to go after multinationals.

That money is stopping someone else from needing to put up with the bullshit of food scarcity you did.

This isn’t America and thank fuck. If we stop spending, it falls apart and we’ve been putting off maintaining our society for decades now. Grow and stop seeing the bullshit you went through as validation to put others through worse.

How you still have faith in a status quo that’s actively fucking us all says so much. The absolute limit of your imagination is to graduate being abused and become the boot - which is sad as hell because no matter what you do you’ll never be rich enough to escape this. You’re too far behind, dude - you can’t afford to pay your way out of what’s coming. Accept it. You’re disposable. They’ll die laughing at you for selling your life away for table scraps.

Putting the boot into other poors isn’t going to stop you from being who/where you are.

Of all of us, you’re going to fall the hardest no matter how hard you run away - and all the supports you’ll need to ease you through ‘failing’ at neoliberalism on a dying planet will have been cannibalised by upstanding, fanatically Thatcherite cunts like yourself.

When your time comes, and I say this earnestly, be sure to do the rest of us a favour and post your plot so we can organise a schedule for pissing on it. You’ll be like the forgotten soldier for contemporary idiots.

Back at you, bootlicker.

Cabinet plan to boost social housing dumped in favour of developers (www.theage.com.au)

The Andrews government dumped an ambitious cabinet-approved plan to lift the proportion of social housing in Victoria by almost two-thirds, opting instead to respond to the housing crisis with a voluntary, developer-led delivery of so-called affordable housing.

Again, ethnic cleansing and apartheid is not a cultural trait. Israeli =/= Jewish.

Inefficient. Utilise your time to provide maximum benefit for the biosphere before you return to it. Nature is not a solo juggernaut - it needs us to help to our part.

Fuck that noise. Do something about it now. Unmake a pipeline. Blockade a coal port. Fight, for fucks sake. We don’t get to undo this.

Is narcoterrorism still considered a thing in current year? This has to be more an export industry thing rather than a geopolitical disabilisation force multiplier thing, right?

Yeah, that’s fair

Zelensky dismisses compromise with Putin, pointing to Prigozhin’s death (www.cnn.com)

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has said the death of Yevgeny Prigozhin – the Russian mercenary leader whose plane crashed weeks after he led a mutiny against Moscow’s military leadership – shows what happens when people make deals with Russian leader Vladimir Putin....

Stop with the black pill nonsense. There’s plenty we can do. Get active, get amongst it, break unjust laws.

Lay down and rot somewhere else.

Diversity of tactics. There’s no point in pissing on other people’s praxis when you have the capacity and space to organise your own.

Want harder action? Find a pipeline. Blockade a port.

Want to educate people about actions and how to get involved? Organise a street march and equip people with rhetoric to help turn the tide against fossil fuel astroturfing.

Just do something.

They are - which means they’re ahead.

Their centrist pearl clutching hasn’t done anything so far so why make yourself smaller to appease someone who won’t help anyway? Sorry - get real about the stakes or get aside.

Dude. The world is being killed and the people killing it have names and addresses. This is not a untouchable force of nature causing our homes to flood and burn while the ecosystems that allow us to farm collapse.

You have agency. Get angry, channel it and get active.

I’m more in the blockade a port/unmake a pipeline/put sand in the oil tanks kind of a mindset but go off

Yes but also wise up - we’re not the same as Exxon Mobil or Rio Tinto. We individually need to make our changes, absolutely - but they won’t unless we force them to do so and they dwarf us in output to an inhuman degree.

Simply - we need to stop their machines in a very literal sense. They’ve already shown that dialogue and scientific reasoning is an utterly useless vehicle for change in the face of their organisations - so we need to start speaking in languages they understand. Remove their ability to function. Direct action is the answer to the question.
