With so much conservative media amplification of Coalition spin, it’s going to be a lot easier for them to impose minority religious values on Australians. Trans lives are already being harmed, and anti choice action has begun here. theaimn.com/the-risk-of-th… #auspol #ausvotes
Remember, they are already chipping away at #democracy in Australia. Similar to US and UK. johnmenadue.com/democracy-in-d…
The degree to which they have abandoned the vulnerable while proclaiming to be men (and a few women) of deep Christian faith, we call hypocrisy. It’s actually much deeper than that. johnmenadue.com/scott-morrison…
They hand money to the oligarchs, while our pensioners eat pap. They are farming our grandparents for shareholder profit. #auspol #ausvotes johnmenadue.com/oligarchs-in-r…
Th Coalition uses racist and queerphobic bullhorns (dog whistles died with Trump) to frighten timid hearts at an imaginary existential threat. #auspol #ausvotes johnmenadue.com/australia-must…
The Coalition lies constantly, whether it’s hollow announcements, or rank dishonesty, making the public despairing and cynical #ausvotes #auspol johnmenadue.com/lies-lies-lies…
And way too many of our senior journalists, not just inexperienced apprentices, are playing the game for access or refuge-seeking or inculcated into the worldview. We risk losing everything because they can’t show us ourselves - and our fate - in a mirror. johnmenadue.com/depressed-by-t…
Around the world, the authoritarian Right is using oppressive religion as part of the chance to crush rejects and put threats to the old ways back in their place. #auspol #ausvotes overland.org.au/2022/04/the-co…
And our Right is firmly of that authoritarian mould. #auspol #ausvotes johnmenadue.com/culture-war-ov…
This Right talks about “freedom” all the time but it’s only freedom for their oligarch and enabler set. The rest get firmly put back in place when they challenge the freedom of that lucky few. And challenge we do, because their freedoms hurt us. #climate johnmenadue.com/think-tanks-ca…
Their freedom of speech is not your freedom of speech. johnmenadue.com/speak-without-…
Every critic must be muzzled. johnmenadue.com/charities-muzz…
We think that we’re different, one of the good guys. But this gut belief in being an exception makes us more at risk of doing wrong, or losing our democracy. We’re not looking for it. johnmenadue.com/australia-is-a…
So when you vote next month, remember you wouldn’t be voting for the old LNP. This is a shell. It threatens to ruin us. America is the blaring alarm of how bad things can become, and how quickly. #ausvotes #auspol johnmenadue.com/liberals-now-a…
Thanks to @johnmenadue @OverlandJournal and @AusIndiMedia for letting me explore this threat. I’m so grateful.
(PS. If you don’t know how the American Right got so bad, taking the Aus conservatives with them, it was strategy not chance: johnmenadue.com/how-the-conser… )
(And as a result, America is on the cusp of losing everything. If, as projected, the midterms go badly for the Dems, the future looks grim. johnmenadue.com/with-us-democr… )
(And the nightmare of #Britain’s #Rwanda deal is just another step in their authoritarian trajectory johnmenadue.com/thanks-to-thin… #ukpolitics #BorisJohnson #PritiPatel
(And that’s before we look at the global nation of the conspiracy Right, feeding UAP/Phon and enabling all these mainstream formerly “conservative” parties to play their self-serving games…johnmenadue.com/australia-has-…
Stuff it. I think this is the only piece feeling left out now 🤣 johnmenadue.com/dog-whistles-t…
