No. They’ve already laid the ground work for countering a meaningful anti-war opposition, having driven people mad with Sinophobia. They simply need to pivot to talking about Afghanistan’s importance in countering China. And you know what? It’ll be the most honest reason we’ve ever been given despite being psychotic.

A lot of our pathetic left has helped create these conditions, fucking anti-imperialist except whenever it’s needed.

We will withdraw only when the US says to.

Not really recommending this as a podcast (have not and will not listen to it) but for the collection of articles on the topic in the description.

• ‘By Tuesday I’m sitting on $31.08’: a week in the life of a Melbourne food delivery worker
• Australian food delivery workers had pay cut amid increased pandemic demand

I think Aboriginal Flag is recognizably Australian enough. There aren’t really any many uniquely Australian things that’d work on a flag that aren’t also deeply rooted in settler-colonialism.

There is far too much fine detail here. With flag design it’s better to keep things simple. The wattle wreath isn’t going to work, though it might do alright as part of a state emblem.

A boomerang would also be a controversial choice for indigenous representation, it’s a cartoonish stereotype. It’d be like having a spear. You’re already invoking the Aboriginal Flag anyway. It’s unnecessary.

The Eureka Flag is also a pretty questionable choice. I appreciate the history, but it’s more frequently used by racists and nationalists than anything else. The sizing here also really doesn’t work for me. It only really works if it’s dominating the flag design, which I don’t think is appropriate here.

I’d personally just keep it simple. Aboriginal Flag with a single communist symbol centered. Like this: https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/ifkL0jJnuI.jpg

Not as far as I’m aware. It’s a cult with very little influence and not something anyone on the left wants to touch.

LaRouchites. They’re the pure essence of a fringe political party. A schizophrenic mash of opinions from all over the spectrum with some conspiracy theories mixed in. Some of their takes are pretty close to leftist, but at other times they engage in real anti-semitism, climate change denial, etc.
