On International Women’s Day the Conservative Christian PM of Australia Scott Morrison said the rise of women should not come at the expense of men!

In the coup that ousted moderate PM Malcolm Turnbull, Morrison rose at the expense of Julie Bishop.

Australian takes “get a dog up ya” to a whole other level.

This is excellent viral marketing for Tourism NZ.

This explains the disconnect between US voters & foreign policy.

Its a great map of the world though with NZ & the Pacific at the centre, rather than a smudge or omission on most Atlantic centred maps.

Aaron Banks bankrolled the Brexit campaign. The source of this money is opaque. He denied any business dealings with Russia. That has now been proven to be false.

Morrison’s idiotic statement about gender equity - that women shouldn’t succeed at the expense of men - matches his previous comments about wealth inequality. This is his ideology - we shouldn’t help the vulnerable if it hurts those better off. A thread👇🏻
In fact these statements tell you all you need to know about Morrison’s political priorities. In a nutshell, he sees progressive policies as a threat to the entitlement of the already well-off. He sees progress as a bad thing as he wants to maintain the status quo.
This ideology impacts every single policy area. He wants the unemployed punished and the NewStart allowance hard to get because he sees welfare as a burden on richer tax payers. He doesn’t want the vulnerable ‘hurting’ the well off.

1) #Coup: As the #Venezuela crisis unfolds, sovereign people are wise to follow the time-tested advice of the great Edward Luttwak, from his classic, Coup d'Etat: A Practical Handbook (Harvard, 1968, revised 2016). This thread will guide you through the best points of the book.
2) #Coup: "The power of the modern state largely depends on [the] permanent machinery [of bureaucracy and armed forces], which, with its archives, files, records, and officials, can control intimately the activities of lesser organizations and individuals." (2016 edition, p. 1)
3) #Coup: Bureaucracies have features necessary for a coup: "the emergence of clear distinctions between the permanent machinery of state and the political leadership, and the fact that state bureaucracies have structured hierarchies with definite chains of command." (1-2)

So, the other thread I was talking about at the beginning of the week and, sadly not about Vagrant Story or Farscape.

One of the questions I see pop-up again and again is why do TE*Fs (note the wildcard placement, there's nothing radical about these #Fuckwits) have such...

hatred for #trans #people?

Well, if we step back a little and change how we look at the patterns of behaviour, and look at those behaviours in a different paradigm, one more associated with personal relationships, TE*F behaviour and attitudes have a depressingly familiar...

pattern to them.
