Dear all
'Mustn’t Criticise Albo/Labor Because Otherwise We’ll End Up With Conservatives Again'
n.b.
Spare me that fatuous, bvllshit analysis.
You seriously believe believe that the majority of voters care about lefty in-fighting?
Really?

Soz not soz, hard disagree.
So-called progressive/conservative voters are the minority (both) and do not swing elections. The overwhelming majority of voters are disengaged and disinterested.
They’re watching sportsball/bachelorette cooking shows.
Fear+ignorance drives votes.

The oft repeated mantra ‘don’t criticise Albo/Biden' hides an ugly truth, which is that our polity is broken, & we’re stuck with Hobson's choices.
There are differences btwn Albo/Scumo & Joe/DJT, both in personality & corruption, but their policies are different shades of grey.

Another truth is that there is professional political class, and it’s members are ALL much more concerned about their personal secure sinecures than policy.
Lundy now lobbies for the defence industry. Emerson for fracking. Fitzgibbon for fossil fuel.
They’re content, complacent

Saying don’t criticise begs the question, why?
We won’t scare the horses, because the horses don’t care, don’t know, & don’t want to know. They’ll vote based on fear conditioning & the latest multimillion $$ advertising blitz.
If we want no Adani, Rupert, etc. it’s ok to say so

The reasons conservatives (GOP, LNP, Tories) get elected are:
-$$$
-fear
-media control
-gerrymanders
-voter suppression
-ignorant electorates
And NOT because progressives are self-critical, or too radical.

Finland, NZ, Iceland+

Everyone (EVERYONE) wants clean air, water, & healthy soil.
EVERYONE.
95% want wealth equality.
(1% don’t, & 4% kid themselves they can get in the 1% club)
Only the socio/psychopaths want war & power.
But we’re all easily fooled, easily confused.
Easily frightened.

And so when you tell me that we’re playing 4 dimensional chess & we can’t openly say we want to save the environment or raise the pension, I call bvllshit.
What we can’t do, if we want to survive, is to let the grand charade go on forever.
Call spades shovels, speak truth.
End.
