Let’s face it, all politics is empty symbolism today because “Australia” has effectively ceased to exist.
On the fake right of the debate, we have Murdoch’s LNP propagandists:
Sky News host Peta Credlin has criticised the “loud minority” of activists seeking to change the date of Australia Day.
Calls have been made for a change to the date of Australia Day from the 26th of January.
Ms Credlin says they are trying to “shame” Australians for wanting to “celebrate this great country”.
On the progressive side, we have The Guardian cancel sheet:
Conservative politicians are dominating Facebook advertising about changing the date of Australia Day, analysis shows.
After Woolworths announced last week that it would no longer stock Australia Day merchandise due to declining demand, the opposition leader, Peter Dutton, condemned the move as an “outrage” born from the retailer’s “woke agenda” and said most Australians likely thought the same.
Yet, amusingly, both sides quietly agree that Australia no longer exists.
There is no attempt to restore national borders to protect Australian workers and living standards from the Third World.
On the contrary!
There is no attempt to modulate capital flows so that they benefit Australians!
Au contraire!
Neither the conservative nor progressive sides of the political “divide” disagree on anything of merit regarding Australians’ well-being and living standards.
So, both beat up empty symbolism to fill the gap.
