this is important no doubt but pay attention to how they always make it about identity and never about class - unions/labor/progressive think tanks stay clear of class analysis, corporate power, the way we are being robbed blind by the 1% and how benefits of policy go to rich https://twitter.com/unionsaustralia/status/1326412525441789955
that is the deal that these so called progressives make - they get to have a privileged position in society but the deal is they can't threaten corporate power and the 1%, they can't be talking anything that leads people to question capitalism or look for systemic change #auspol
flaws in the system itself, corruption of our government & other institutions by corporate power, the recovery being driven by fossil fuel executives, get little analysis while we endlessly debate things along gender lines etc, not to discount the importance of those issues
the only way we're going to defeat this rapacious oligarchy is if the 99% is united with a class critique, demanding universal rights such as everyone having basic needs met, a habitable planet, the ability to achieve self-actualisation & real democracy rather than this sham
the ruling class is terrified of the 99% looking at things in this way, so much so that you will never really see a class critique published in corporate media or the ABC. the role of mass media particularly political journos is to ensure the discourse does not veer here
it's also why so much of the media looks to divide us and turn us against each other along cultural and other lines, making us forget about the power we would have if we united against the 1%
no one understands how corrupt & morally bankrupt the system is better than those occupying the upper echelons. but from the way they've decided to respond to climate change it's clear they are more than willing to drive us to extinction unless we stop them
