‘In a crowd, it feels good when we do bad to our enemies’: how anger becomes contagious
Usually, individuals don’t want to be angry. In a group, however, negative emotions can rile the tribe. On the streets of London, Ed Coper felt it first hand

The ‘angertainment’ trap: Why you can’t stop clicking on things that make you mad
In exploiting the human instinct to seek threat, online “rage bait” is dividing society. Is it time it came with a warning label?

Pauline Hanson follows the same playbook all surging far-right politicians are doing worldwide: they win the battle for our attention. My thoughts on why One Nation is ascendent in the polls. www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...
Trump was a joke, until he wasn't – what Australians must learn
By wondering how One Nation can potentially win an election, the media may help make it a self-fulfilling prophecy — just as it did for Trump.

Without social licence, forget net zero, I write in today's Australian Financial Review. "The government likes to talk about road maps, but what happens when there’s someone intentionally putting pot holes in the road, or worse – digging it up entirely?" www.afr.com/policy/energ...
Why the biggest threat to net zero is right-wing misinformation
The social licence of renewables is being attacked by professional and heavily resourced networks with a vested interest in delaying the energy transition.

The alarm bell I am ringing in today's @sydmorningherald.bsky.social: social licence on renewables cannot be taken for granted. Incredibly, the anti-renewables movement has outspent the federal Liberal Party account this election on social media ads. www.smh.com.au/national/mag...
MAGA-inspired outrage machine has a new target in this election
The fossil fuel lobby is paying millions of dollars to set up anti-renewables “community groups”. In some seats it may shift the dial.

I've been ringing the alarm bell for the last 2 years, trying to disinfect with sunlight those trying to MAGA-fy Australia. Please read this long-form piece on how bad actors here have - as I'm quoted in the headline saying - "copied the MAGA model" here. www.smh.com.au/national/cop...
‘Copied the MAGA model’: The ‘grassroots’ lobby group funded by some of Australia’s richest
The Advance propaganda machine is aimed at ordinary Australians but backed by some of our wealthiest – and has links to a right-wing US foundation.
