hundreds of thousands of people marched against the Abbot government in 2014. At the Sydney rallies I saw maybe 5 or 6 patrol cars, no more than 20 police, definitely no riot gear, and we got exactly zero media coverage.
worth remembering we were both peaceful and completely ignored in 2014 as #ausmedia provides blanket coverage - amplification, boosting nazi recruitment strategies - of violent extremists; and rush in to misdefine organised labour for their readership of the propertied classes.
the one constant is media inviting waspy tory right wing grifters to define and analyse “the left”, about which said talking heads know absofuckinglutely nothing.
from Speers this morning: an example of how journalists erase their own failures. Hundreds of thousands of people at #MarchInMarch were wholly ignored by media in 2014 so are written out now. 
this clumsy, inaccurate phrasing indicates Speers is unaccustomed to speaking or writing about angry men, which makes him unqualified to be all over the ABC - radio, TV and web - opining about events composed almost entirely of angry men.
it’s not like male anger is some rare exotic sighting.
