My column on how capital becomes a death cult. Faced with a choice between profit and human life, the radical right chooses profit. Then it tries to persuade us that mass death is what we want. It's the new phase of climate denial: accept your fate, earthlings. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Murderous heat, an endangered food supply, decimated landscapes: embrace the Mediterranean life | George Monbiot

As climate disaster stares us in the face, the radical right says ‘Embrace the Mediterranean life’. Embrace death, more like it, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Living on this planet, especially as a member of a privileged society, our lives are intimately bound with the lives of others, including those who live thousands of miles away. We cannot excuse ourselves from the responsibilities we owe to each other.

In a world where smoking the wrong leaf can get you jailed, supporting the mass murder of an entire nation gets you the support of governments around the world Riddle Me Ree

This is a Minister who is purposeful delaying family reunion visas, denying refugees protection and scapegoating migrants for issues his Government created. It is not surprise Labor is in a race to the bottom on immigration, but it is toxic politics. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08...

Labor was poised to reveal massive migration cuts, then suddenly delayed

The ABC understands the cuts to migration numbers are contentious within Labor, but no reason for the delay is given.

It's not new. The BBC favoured the right and extreme right from the very beginning.

And why is #r4today giving (yet again) such prominence to a hair-brained scheme that has little chance to ever be implemented? A GE is unlikely soon and the threat of Reform winning it is apparently receding. What is the justification for legitimising it?

This is AUSTRALIA! It is not the bloody USA and I for one do not want any further moves to change our standards and the way of life we enjoy, to mimic the problems the citizens of the US are experiencing now.

Fuck all the way off with this. Howard has never liked multiculturalism. Not because it denotes ‘different tribes’ but because he can’t imagine anyone but someone who looks and thinks like him as ‘Australian’.

Would I be just a teensy bit sceptical if I were to doubt that Darwin said that?

It is one thing to imagine a past that fits ones myth to explain ones hypotheses, quite another to impose one's ideas on a current world where it is daily disproven. But that is what politicians and neoliberal economists do.
