Sentiments such as those held by The Australian and their readership, labouring under the misapprehension that there’s something legitimate about business as usual, cannot be appeased.
Or rather, they can be temporarily appeased, so long as there’s coal to dig up and flog off, and there remains someone with a civilisation and economy to sell it to.
But some of us are kinda sick of these rapists constantly getting their way. So don’t be surprised when we start resorting to the sort of dirty tricks that fooled people into letting these scumbags get us into this mess in the first place.
The writing’s been on the wall for decades and these arsehole fuckwits stubbornly continue dragging us all to hell. So today it’s spin and propaganda, and tomorrow it’ll be militant resistance and molotovs.
Anyone with half a brain flat-out refuses to appease a sociopath.
