Therefore, it is evident that Michael, and other traditionalists who are clutching their pearls, have missed the point. Conservatism hasn’t consciously tried to be the new counter-culture. It’s just necessarily become that way, as a retaliation to the leftist cultural juggernaut. And much as traditionalists refuse to admit it, the rebellion is not restricted to the punk rock Right. It relates to all factions of conservatism. Including, dare I say it, Michael’s. The vehement adherence to the image of the restrained, Christian, social conservative is actually the ultimate act of rebellion in the face of the degenerate, largely atheist Left. Michael, while I may be punk, you’re actually screamer heavy metal, because of your (very admirable) refusal to capitulate to the social libertarianism of modern times. The more tweed-suiting, Bible-reading, family-touting, and church-going the traditionalists do, the more counter-cultural they become. So much as I hate to admit it, Michael’s even more badass than I am.

conservatism is dead, though all the power on the right is concentrated on a spectrum from rabid nationalists to straight up neo-nazis. free market, social conservatives are being rolled by protectionist, xenophobic nationalists and they have no idea what to do about it. coincidentally the same thing is happening to the centre-left by socialists and they are possibly even more clueless about how to stop it.

BBJoey posted:conservatism is dead, though Isn't the same thing happening to the Greens? If my yuppy background is anything to go on (and my previous electorate agrees), middle class professionals and retireess are being soaked up by new Greens. The inner city is a mess! At least in Melbrourne. I can genuinely speak to someone and find out later that they're a right-extremist. Or a lefty. It;s just that diverse. And I can see them buying drinks for each other (well, with encouragement and mediation, both sides are pretty weedy and don't lift). I agree that at the top, the power is with the right. And I'm sorry for my PM, Mr. whatsisface, that he is forced to pretend to be more Right then he actually is. Being PM has gotta be soul-destroying. Still, I don't feel the least bit sorry, for him or for me, when there are 17 year old kids in NT who never even got a glipse of what I had.

Actually conservatism is quite attractive. 'Almost too attractive': artist says former prime minister Tony Abbott has a good face for sculpture Tony Abbott's face might be one of the most recognisable in Australia, but sculptor Linda Klarfeld found herself caught off guard after sitting with the former prime minister for more than an hour. Mr Abbott's distinctive ears and Roman nose - prime fodder for the nation's cartoonists and photographers for decades - were almost too attractive to sculpt. Commissioned by the Victorian goldfields city of Ballarat to create a bronze bust for its Prime Ministers' Avenue, the Czech-born sculptor wanted to avoid a predictable caricature. "It wasn't an easy one. I personally think he's quite attractive, and I always say attractive people are hard to sculpt because it's hard to make them look real," she said. "He has a Roman nose, his ears are not big and I don't know why the cartoonists always pull them out the way they do, but for sculpture they're very good. "All his features are very strong. He has a chiselled face, which is very good for sculpture." Australia's prime ministers are immortalised in the collection of busts established by Federation politician Richard Armstrong Crouch and, after months of work, Ms Klarfeld will become the first woman to contribute. Her $25,000 commission has been sent to a Melbourne foundry and is expected to be unveiled in the city's botanic gardens later this year. The final design is a closely guarded secret. Ms Klarfeld said the former leader was patient while she made a plasticine maquette model, praising Mr Abbott's appreciation of civic art and a bust of Winston Churchill that looks over his Parliament House office. "It's almost like a preparatory sketch a painter makes on the spot, but three-dimensional in my case," she said. "I wanted the bust to be very real. Of course it's realistic, but I've worked hard to capture a sense of him as a human being and not just a prime minister." Busts of the first six prime ministers were unveiled by Victoria's governor Sir Winston Duggan in 1940, with the Crouch bequest providing funds for their successors. Ballarat mayor Samantha McIntosh said an unveiling date for Mr Abbott's bust was being negotiated, coming after former Labor leader Julia Gillard took part in a ceremony in 2014. "It is a significant avenue and one that many people admire and love. There have been large crowds at all the unveilings that I've witnessed and it's undoubtedly a source of local pride that former prime ministers come and visit," she said. Mr Abbott described working with Ms Klarfeld as "a pleasure". "I feel thrilled and humbled to be on the avenue of the prime ministers and am looking forward to seeing it in the future," he said.

The Greens seem kind of maxed out, they've been treading water for the past few federal elections and their polling is pretty stable. I don't know what they can do if they want to become a mainstream party, but they'd better get on it.
