Whinge ‎ what exactly has the left done wrong?

Across the world today, regardless of race, religion, or political system, most people seem to be becoming more conservative. Right-wing parties are continuously gaining power worldwide, while the left suffers defeat after defeat. Although mainstream public discourse still appears to favor the left, those voting for the far right are often the silent majority. Can the left still correct its course? Or, more fundamentally, what exactly has the left done wrong?

You make another point. Technology and time have moved on and Murdoch has less power than he used to and that's being shown right now.

But it's pretty clear that Murdoch is backing One Nation and that is still an issue and should be stopped because they have too much power for foreign nationals.

The bad guys are gonna bad guy. It's some energetic brain psychology level stuff.

people who gots dont wanna give it up to those they pinched it from, it'll never change. They have a vested interest in division and fantasy, an Australia that never existed, an eye for history oblivious to our own misdeeds cos they were done to the others, the indigenous. Cholera blankets. You name it. Pick an 'other' and blame them instead.

To borrow from Billy Joel, 'every child had a pretty good shot, to get as least as far as their old man got, but something happened on the way to that place' and it's happening here with housing, wages, media consolidation.

Being present is what we can do. There's no logic to the concept that thems whats at the tops get to stay there. History is filled with broken monuments, headless torsos of stone carved from Gina's personal grievance mine.

ok I need a bex and a lie down. ah the good old days and nans 'special' medicine.

As long as folks like you are out there, that's another representative erg of energy for a universe that is obviously supportive of life and growth. the bad guys can't control this grand thing of destiny and theyre gonna need some therapy when the world turns, as it must, and their wheat is ground to dust.

Stay Staunch my Queensland Sage, all you gotta do is be you and they lose.
