Fighting Fake News with REAL, 3/5/21; Exterminate All the Brutes; Mission Impossible Saving PM Morrison whose MIA, LNP Economic Management history; Far-Right & the Pandemic;

That’s where “Exterminate All the Brutes” leaves us. It does not offer any solutions or false hope. In fact, after watching it, it’s hard not to consider that whiteness is a demonic whirlwind that may end by destroying everyone — starting with its traditional victims but eventually engulfing people who thought that their whiteness would protect them and are in for a big surprise.

On the other hand, there is the miracle of the documentary’s existence. That by itself means that deep tectonic plates are shifting in the world’s consciousness. It’s not impossible that this film will someday be considered a key part of a long, complex, messy reckoning that will see whiteness relegated to humanity’s Museum of Terrible Ideas. If people have a future, it will be one in which tourists come and gape in horror that anyone ever thought this awful concept made sense.

Totally Fucking Up Immunisation Rollout Was Part Of God’s Plan, Morrison Says

Boomgater Dutton is going to shirtfront China Australian Chinese and the Australian Economy. Ensuring that we are the Pillocks of the Pacific. 

Defence Minister Peter Dutton has vowed to call out China for its acts of aggression, saying most Australians understand threats posed by Beijing.

Pandemic a hothouse for far-Right politics

COVID-19 may serve to intensify the pre-existing turn towards fascism, currently inflaming the Western world.

The current rise of far-Right, anti-democratic politics in the Western world predates the pandemic — COVID-19 did not cause it, though it may yet serve to exacerbate the problem. Proposed drivers of this turn towards fascism include economic anxieties and inequality, cultural resentments and backlash, and simple racism.

Probably it’s all of the above. At the same time, resistance to these forces, such as Antifa, are also becoming more prominent. As the world grapples with where to go from here, this struggle is unlikely to disappear anytime soon.
