Rightwing populists will keep winning until we grasp this truth about human nature | George Monbiot Economic inequality breeds resentment and a desire to get even. That’s what fuels support for even incompetent regimes, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

“The one thing that can stop the rise of the far right is the one thing mainstream parties are currently not prepared to deliver: greater equality. The rich should be taxed more, and the revenue used to improve the lives of the poor.” George Monbiot #auspol

Community groups furious Coalition nuclear plan would go ahead even if locals oppose it Opponents of policy say locals should be ‘very angry’ they will not be able to veto generators in their towns despite Coalition promise to consult them

“You never asked locals if they want nuclear reactors in their back yards, instead you threaten compulsory acquisition and federal overrides with no right to veto” - petition to coalition

Gawd, that presser was funny 😁 Hoping it's the nail in the coffin for their election prospects

On doing the same inadequate shit over and over again until the end of democracy - The Shot The consequence of not good enough, as evidenced in the United States right now, is that you inevitably get much, much worse.

I agree with every word of this…

Coming Unglued: Week Eight of the Stupid Coup (and the Stalwart Resistance) Spring is here and so is authoritarianism, and I recommend your serious attention to both. We may be at this resistance business for a while, so take care of yourself so you can keep taking care of hu...

Virtually every Cybertruck — those freaky Tesla vehicles made to look like aggression incarnate – has been recalled, because, literally, they come unglued. What a metaphor for this regime: a weak vehicle trying to look tough, a victim of its own cheapness, an ugly toy falling apart.

This has been cheering me up all day

😂 good one Cathy. The most stupid idea ever - just another PD dog whistle and playing his culture war fiddle again #NWGFFO PD

I found a ‘dead’ person collecting Social Security in Seattle “Dead” Ned Johnson turns out to be very much alive. It took him weeks to convince the system he was breathing and to start clawing his benefits back.

The richest man in the world took over $5K out of this guy's bank account, claiming he was dead. The richest man in the world said he was saving money.

He was not dead.

Keep up the great work Amy 👏👏

Completely exposed and owned by this...considering my future. Obviously I need to take a long hard look at myself. I also retweeted 'I hate Pauline Hanson's One Nation' so obviously there is no coming back from any of this
