  • Some genuinely anti-Semitic attacks have taken place, like arson targeting Jewish neighbourhoods and synagogues and Nazi graffiti. Interestingly Australia’s version of the FBI is publicly claiming that cryptocurrency may have been paid to people by a foreign state to carry out the attacks. I wonder which state would have an interest in conflating anti-Zionism with Nazism? Of course no-one can say for sure yet, but Israel was pissed off with the Aus govt. for some of its actions during the ongoing genocide, - mostly symbolic and useless actions like UN votes and stuff, but historically Israel has cultivated assets within Aus politics to ensure continued support from the country. Maybe they’re worried that support is slipping away? Or maybe the police are just talking shit and there are no foreign states involved - just as plausible really. There are organised Nazi’s around Melbourne where the attacks have been occurring too

  • What I mean is, if people want to talk about power dynamics fine, but its straight away talking about something other than age because inequality is not generally a function of age as such. And otherwise, the 'discourse' is usually just moralism, ie imposing your own values and fantasies on others

  • In Australia after the massive bushfires a few years back, the right wing /mainstream narrative afterwards was that it wasn’t the fault of climate change, but rather of green environmentalists preserving forests too much and thus creating more dangerous fires

  • A crush is a kind of fantasy (in that you idealise someone, imagine how your life could be with them, etc). You destroy the fantasy by exposing it to reality/action, in this case expressing your feelings honestly to the person. If it works out then great, if it doesn’t then it’ll be easier to reorient yourself and you’ll find someone new to crush on.

    How could the (electoral) left deal with anti-immigrant sentiment?
