You’d think Trumps approach to tariffs, Morrison’s approach to public spending or Dutton’s willingness to spend ‘whatever it takes’ on nuclear power would force a rethink of the whole ‘conservatives are good economic managers thing’…but I doubt it www.nbcnews.com/politics/don... - ThreadSky

When 2016 man assumes that 2024 is the same world he fooled 8 years ago. Cue the white ants. #burgers

Why in the hell has neoliberalism not been strangled in its bed???

richarddenniss.bsky.social•132 days ago

Because it makes too many people feel clever by talking about ‘incentives’ and ‘optimal’ and ‘rational’ a lot which helps a much smaller group of people make a LOT of money

They aren't many of us know.

And once upon a time a whiff of scandal would end a politician's career...

The Murdochs, stokes and co tell the people what they want them to believe constantly while omitting the truth. Those of us who know conservatives as incompetent are becoming a rare breed.

What exactly do conservatives conserve!?

richarddenniss.bsky.social•133 days ago

They used to be quite keen on conserving nature and democratic institutions…these days not so much

jaquix173.bsky.social•133 days ago

Some confusion here about the difference between a "conservative" and a "conservationist".

cognitiveverb.bsky.social•133 days ago

Not necessarily.

A conservatives may make jam or relish or perhaps sour krout …..

Less so once upon a time. ACF original patrons were Garfield Barwick and Prince Phillip

Oh.

Can Do Campbell Newman’s idea of conserving nature was opening up national Parks for 4WDs & approving more coal mines.

The monarchy is not a democratic institution, is it?

Conservatives are the establishment parties of course they can manage their establishment economy

Australia’s media keeps perpetuating the myth.

bjnev.bsky.social•133 days ago

The shibboleth that never dies. Just goes to show that when you have the conservative media on your side, you can perpetuate the myth of fiscal superiority even in the face of mountains of evidence to the contrary.
Also, amazing how many conservatives will die on this hill
