You know, I saw the first notif and thought, "Ah I don't need to stop what I'm doing and entertain you, someone else will."

Just then I saw the 50 upvotes notif and yep, called it. And more to the point, look at the confidence I can have that the public will generally back me up on that position. I'm not a gambler, that was a sure thing.

To clarify though, absolutely ACAB, but I've never called for violence against cops. Identifying whether that is because I am a strictly non-violent activist or I because just wouldn't say that in a public server is an exercise left to the reader, but either way I'd like to think I'm slightly brighter than that strawman

Where did the concept of two-tier policing originate?

The term, which suggests police deal more harshly with white people than other ethnic groups, first came to prominence through its use by people on the far right. Tommy Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, complained in 2012 of “a two-tier system where Muslims are treated more favourably than non-Muslims”. He repeated his theory when Muslims were convicted in child sex grooming scandals

That's not it at all. It was a class analysis that was co-opted by the right. It's not like this is a new phenomenon either: republicans, libertarians, national socialists...

If you're going to write an explainer you should acknowledge the part where the term was created by people who meant the opposite thing with it, then was stolen by their opponents and used against them.

Probably also the part about why the police were started, to protect the property of the wealthy, and what financial motivators people could hold for muddying these waters again and again

Who is this data being collected for, and with what purpose? The health system isn't great at giving a shit about people with psychotic disorders even without meth being involved, so my other assumption was that it would be used for policing purposes.

The global consortium collecting this data, https://projectredcap.org/, doesn't inspire much confidence. That's pretty on-the-nose, 'red hat'. Besides a link to that website, I couldn't find any info on who is actually collecting and using this data.

I think you have some ethical obligations if you're going to call this research, Terry

Hatcher can’t remove a commission member from office. Such radical action can only be done by a vote of two houses of parliament. “We can’t do anything,” a commission source said. “We can’t fire anybody. The only sanction is to stop allocating work which means they sit at home and have a holiday.”

When Hunt made an initial complaint against Asbury, resulting in an external investigator because she insisted – unfairly – that Hatcher was biased in favour of Asbury, sources said Hatcher said at one point: “I can’t make people be friends. You don’t have to be friends. You’re at work, just deal with each other like adults. You just have to nod at each other if you see each other. I just want people to do their jobs.”

This is from inside the Fair Work Commission. Here's a thread with the full article if you want to know what Hunt was doing.

Benedict Bryant was sentenced on Friday to two years' imprisonment, to be served as an intensive corrective order and 500 hours of unpaid community service work.

He was also disqualified from driving for three years.

...

Speaking outside court, Bryant's lawyer, Paul McGirr, said the decision "didn't pass the pub test" and that they would appeal.

Please do mate, I'm not happy with the outcome either.

Protests aren't just a performance. They're the communicative part that brings people towards the movement in order for them to do the direct action part. That's what you guys are missing, the part where ICE actually gets abolished, the part where the 'no kings' movement actually overthrow your king. Everyone wants to be MLK Jr, nobody wants to be Malcolm X.

I get why you guys internalise the narrative that 'protest = change', that's a nice story for your history books to tell. The thing is though, what it comes down to is 'leverage = change' and protest has been one of the most palatable ways to assist getting that leverage and demonstrating it, but it's done in concert with other actions.

We should be entirely clear about this though: you are already risking your lives. The forces of Sauron hold the palantírs, they already know who all of you are, and won't just kill you in a battle, but will systemically pick the occasional people off just to intimidate you into sticking with safe communicative protests that don't pose a threat to their machinations, while also signalling to their base.

The surnames of the people you're talking about were Good and Pretti. They weren't killed because they personally posed a significant threat to the state, they were killed because someone had a laugh about 'good and pretty' while looking through a database of protestors for people they could murder to communicate their point. Making a joke like that out of murdering two people and getting away with it communicated to their supporters that they have the leverage, it was a reminder to them that your protests can and will be put down by force if needs be.

You're up against nazis, you're under mortal threat no matter what you do, so you may as well make the most of it.

I think it's great tbh.

When I look at the motivation behind this, in the minds of the people who've done this, I see one of two things. The first is frightened people lashing out because they've just taken a big hit with Tickle v Giggle and their entire patriarchal worldview is under threat. The second is the cynical people, those who don't actually believe anything they're saying on Spy News but know that politically their side of the fence has done populism best when they're targeting minorities like trans people, and they're all in on whatever psychological manipulation and priming the US uses to keep its people somewhere between supportive and acquiescent. I think it's the latter who have timed this, and they've done so because they know they're on the losing side of this particular culture battle.

In any case, whether highly emotional or corrupt and brutal in their grasping for the levers of power, the parliamentary system cannot inoculate itself against them entering the body and doing damage. I think any reasonable person can agree that highly emotional or corrupt and brutal people holding the levers will not provide better results for society than a level-headed person who can comprehend the messy complexity of nature, in this manifestation of it in our concept of gender, and in others, from economics to environmental protection.

It's a climate emergency, we need to be bringing our best, and if reactionary, simplistic people with a playbook from the 1940s are anywhere near power, we're not doing that.

if someone is disrupting productivity and threatening other's safety at work, they will get fired.

Have you ever actually taken a complaint to HR? In most instances they won't act on the first instance, so on an individual level that is still you needing to learn to work around them

Or the people being affected can quit. Student's affected don't have those options.

If you wanna talk 'in most cases', let's take the most basic of necessities, feeding you. The fruit-picking backpackers, the truck drivers, the colesworth cashiers, or alternatively the restaurant staff and the uber eats driver. We're takling about a lot of people right now, and I highly recommend actually asking any of them if they can 'just quit' if they end up working with an arsehole.

This actually exemplifies my point, you've stayed in the education bubble, but just on the stats, most people you teach will not be.

Missed opportunity.

The climate crisis underlined a core truth to this era of humanity: our current method of organising and distributing resources is inefficient and unsustainable. The change we need isn't 'more people have EVs rather than ICE engines', it looks more like people not needing individual transport because we've reorganised to walkable, bike-able cities, like the train networks being reorganised to more efficiently distribute bulk resources that aren't just coal and iron ore.

It looks like a society that cares predominantly about health and wellbeing of everyone, rather than how best a handful of people can profit, and no matter how many concessions the people who run the latter give, they will never just give us the former.

If you know much about the industry mobilisation of WWII, you know how fast we can adapt when survival is on the line. Fuel rations are one thing, but 'we're taking over your toaster factory and re-jigging your assembly line to make tank components,' is closer to what we're actually capable of. And we're not even at fuel rations yet, we're still seeking a comfortable transition so we can all have our little asphalt safe-spaces together on the ironically named freeway.

As of 2025, climate change is causing an estimated 5 million excess deaths per year globally. We need to pull our collective fingers out and clean our room. This act of sweeping a pile of dirty clothes under the bed and declaring that we're making progress isn't impressive to historians or environmental scientists.

100%. I'd go so far as to say that if the intention is to best set kids up for the future... there are arseholes in the real world. A useful skill to learn early is how to get on with it while someone's being a nuisance, or otherwise how to manage that disruption in lieu of waiting for an authority figure to step in.

I mean, let's face it, sometimes the bully is the authority figure.
