That anti-greta thunberg piece is typical defeatist bullshit i encounter constantly in the pretentious parts of left wing politics. The right happily mobilize PR techniques to further their agenda. Why the hell are you wasting time tearing down the leftists efforts to do the same?

Don't give me that conspiracy theorist nonsense about how it's not real enough. Go be a loser if you want.

The latte Liberals that would have felt embarrassed about Scott Morrison have retired, he then went on to win an unwinnable election will polls below sea level. There’s zero chance he is getting turfed, and he will almost certainly win at least one, probably two more elections because labor are utterly loving pathetic.

All Politicians are scum surprised i have to say that in this thread but y'all keep thinking Bill Shorten was a good leader so maybe spelling out the obvious is indeed necessary.

Listen to her about anything but politics

Politics wise she's a prime example of the Canberra Press Gallery being the PR arm of the Liberal party, either because they don't want to lose their precious access, or because they're affluent white folk unaffected by their policies or because they're also racist fascists

Lol how dare leftwingers be critical of yet another neoliberal solution to the world's problems.

Combating climate change isn't necessarily a Left-wing position.

Honestly my gut instinct is that they're going to crack sometime next year. But I also have a feeling that Albo will never be PM, and before the election my gut instinct was the government was too much of a shambles to be re-elected and we all know how that went.

But yeah there is something that makes me feel that Scott Morrison's whole "Actual politics is Canberra bubble, carn the sharks" style will continue to be maddeningly effective until suddenly it isn't and the shock momentum hurls him down the political stairs.

Something that people really seem to struggle with is the concept that almost all celebrities are neoliberal horror shows, on account of being rich and wanting to remain rich. There are a handful of exceptions, most of whom aren't even meaningfully rich. But TV personalities definitely have way more money than you, and would happily see you crushed if it means they get to keep their lifestyle going.

i think its saying (a)thunberg is a les enfant terrible for greenwashed neofeudalism because (b)companies are trying to make money from jumping on a popular position

B is obviously true, has always been true and doesnt need 7,621 words to say it while A sounds like something a crazy person would say. but like you said its not an easy read so maybe im wrong
