Insofar as Clair goes, appeasement springs to mind https://www.thenewdaily.com.au/opinion/2025/02/09/amy-remeikis-trump-appeasement

how they can see the disaster unfolding at federal court and think yeah let’s go with appeasing zionists

boatie.bsky.social•18 days ago

The Zionist squirrel grip on government’s is something to behold.

ingridm.bsky.social•18 days ago

and supposedly independent gov-owned corporations.

boatie.bsky.social•18 days ago

Yep, the ABCs court case has laid that bare.

ingridm.bsky.social•18 days ago

it is so shameful to watch. Imagine going there for people who support and defend genocide. My god.

Canaries have been trilling about rising fascism in Australia for decades, only to be ridiculed or ignored due to the fact the majority of Australians, like the early German people, are still "comfortable" - as in the impacts of rising fascism have landed on others - Indigenous, the poor etc..

It is timely & not without a sense of justice that the western world writ large is experiencing & finds need to confront the closeted fascism that has led to inequality of experience & indeed, to Genocide in Palestine. The absence of a concerted global push back though, is a prelude to disaster.

I have nothing to add. You’ve summed it up perfectly.

Thanks. I find myself torn between natural justice and existential crisis.

We were all told though, that the price of freedom was vigilance. And summarily went on to ignore every vigilant voice.

Humans eh... This should be required reading:
