I had WA cops heavy me three times returning to my home in Highgate from the pub to the point that I recognised one of them, and even then they continued to threaten and intimidate me. I never gave them my personal information (I showed them my keys and explained I was entering my home and they were free to observe) and they hated me for it. Also very scary having three huge dickheads following you home in the middle of the night. What this dude did is totally natural and within his rights they should lock these cunts up for murder.

I'm sure he's hosed up because he killed a bloke, but it's also his fault so the music should be faced. Getting PTSD because you murdered someone is stiff poo poo.

I don't really get the point of extinction rebellion loving with stressed out people in traffic during a terrible cost of living crisis. Like nobody is learning anything, traffic is the place reason goes to die. E: good on them for caring I suppose

Paracausal posted:Activism whose strategy centers on performatively being put in handcuffs may be OK for some white middle-class people who don’t have to worry too much if they get arrested. But XR members are blinkered by the dopamine hit they get from expressing their outrage like targeting public transport and forcing people to drive, thereby thinking that they’re taking action by targeting working class people instead of the actual root causes. They're loving stupid. Yeah it seems like wealthy white people poo poo to me.

Megabound posted:A protest that doesn't inconvenience those in power is handily ignored. Peaceful protest furthers no causes. *Inserts noise cancelling earbuds. Rests in power.* Megabound posted:Inconveniencing the public inconveniences the state. It's a large jump from protesting to blowing up a pipeline (which I would like to see more of) but by making people late to work or whatever you're stopping a city from functioning at capacity. The issue with doing the planned protests in my eyes is that if you're asking the states permission to protest then you're just a line in balance book, that's just the cost of running a city. This is weak. The government doesn't suffer anything losing the productivity, they suffer from shitloads of furious electors.

Recoome posted:Tbh those union protests are big inconvenience, we should really clamp down on that poo poo. It's scale. XR generally seems like three people. Union protests are inconvenient, but the real ones usually target industry and marches are huge. If XR went to terminal ports and hosed them up I think people would be less mad since corporations aren't popular. There are also huge climate marches and action. XR just strikes me as clubhouse spartacists. As I said I admire the moxy. E: terminal ports also fucks with the workers there but they can just sit around and wait I guess. Unless they're casuals then they don't get paid.

There are a lot of pissed off people rn due to cost of living being hosed and they're at max with what they can tolerate. If you give them the options of doing something the easy, fast way (remove impediment to car), or the difficult, slow way (redesign and reimagine transport and energy) it's not tough to guess where the vast majority are going to land. I was looking at some polling this morning and climate v cost of living as a top five concern are on inverse trajectories. E: quote me on this in a year, but I also don't think climate is going to factor into election campaigns much at all beside platitudes

As soon as Labor ally with the greens in a formal relationship it's over for them imo. There's still heaps of "centrist" Labor people that would just flip to the libs or a teals type option if the ALP joined with the loony left. Also internally the ALP's absolutely rabid hatred of the greens would make it a non starter. They'd reestablish the DLP it would own and be really funny tbh.

The next election is going to loving suck so much. Advance right flanking the libs. I guarantee the libs will have a crowd pleasing housing policy that sounds better than "government invests money and maybe one day uses the money to build a house". They're also going to win the migration arms race very easily. Very amusing/sad to watch Giles poo poo the bed and gently caress up again this week. The man looks like a cartoon strip office outcast. Labor will go with some extremely lame women wedge that will end up being thwarted immediately by whatever inevitable scandal happens for them, while simultaneously alienating some of their voters with it for no gain. Chalmers will write an essay with three titles about how good the economy is and nobody will read it plus their rent will go up 40%. The greens should have a good one at least. Nobody will want to talk about climate change all that much.

GoldStandardConure posted:Plenty of people want to talk about climate change. Ok so it's not important then I guess? The line has gone down badly on climate at a top five concern in any case. It's not going to be consequential to winning the election this go round. The greens will tap the climate sign, but they'll be campaigning on more fertile ground to gain new votes. Which is fair enough and smart.

They're not a group that respects or speaks to normal people experiencing day to day concerns. Anyway I'm not sure what that has to do with people prioritising housing and economic security as an election issue. Climate just isn't going to cut through the financial distress right now. It's a luxury item.

Festivals are also hosed because the dollar is bad and Z tier international talent is going to other places that pay better. Tbh I think festivals are just hosed because the culture has changed and no level of free for all drug use is bringing them back.
