Una frase de Hannah Arendt que cada día cobra más peso: "La banalidad del mal no viene de los monstruos. Viene de la gente normal que deja de pensar." 🧠 En los años 60, mientras cubría el juicio a Adolf Eichmann para The New Yorker, Arendt acuñó la expresión “la banalidad del mal”. Esperaba encontrar a un monstruo, pero en cambio se encontró con un burócrata mediocre que nunca había dudado en obedecer órdenes. Eichmann no era demoniaco; era simplemente banal. Solo seguía instrucciones, hacía su trabajo y no pensaba. En un mundo donde se valora la obediencia por encima del criterio, la eficiencia por encima de la ética y la lealtad al grupo por encima de la conciencia individual, la advertencia de Arendt sigue siendo tan relevante hoy como hace 60 años. Piensa, aunque sea incómodo. Especialmente cuando es incómodo.

One Nation stands for violence and against the Rule of Law. What a shocking government they would be!

Billionaires’ money is corrupting the media and undermining democracy with the aim of achieving right wing power across the democratic world and the huge money behind One Nation is part of it and it is a grave threat.

This! ‘There's this recognition that on so many of these big challenges we are facing, it's not necessarily left versus right, it's actually vested interests and their stranglehold on the major parties versus the Australian people." #auspol #insiders abc.net.au/news/2026-05-2…

John Anderson & Freya Leach defend Apartheid Rhodesia fuck me dead. New low.
John Anderson AC@JohnAndersonAC

In this video, @FreyaThinks breaks down how one of Africa's most functional states was dismantled, not by military defeat, but by Western liberal idealism that demanded revolution over evolution.

The word is “equally”! Maybe Pauline needs to learn English.
Ryan Dally@Ryandally08

#BREAKING Pauline Hanson’s budget reply: “We will abolish divisive cultural departments and race based programs, that divide Australians by skin colour or ancestry” “Every Australian will treated equal under one flag and one culture” “No more taxpayer funded ‘Welcome to Country’ rituals” She’s got my vote.

Meanwhile, here in Australia’s we have three of the four major parties either denying climate change or opposing climate change policies! Those to be most affected by global warming - future generations - don’t have a vote. But we should be voting for them!
Melaine Le Roy@subfossilguy

What is happening now in France is one of the most insane climate event ever! 😲😱 It's a heatwave... in May! 🥵 36-37°C could be reached several days in a row... 34°C in Brittany. It's 15°C ABOVE NORMAL We are still in f**** spring!

Front page of the SMH today spreading the lie, and framing it as news. Utterly shameful by the “newspaper” and the “journalist”. (See what I did there?) Honestly, who needs News Ltd when the supposedly unbiased media does this? Hand in your badges, and just ask Angus for a job.

That sound you can hear in Canberra and other capitals is -- silence, for record.
Ihab Hassan@IhabHassane

One week ago, Israeli Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, said: "We also have plans to encourage the emigration [of Palestinians] from Gaza and the West Bank." He was openly talking about the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from Gaza and the West Bank. No world leaders — and no one in the Israeli government — seriously condemned the statement, because he was talking about Palestinians. When the victims are Palestinian, calls for condemnation, accountability, and outrage suddenly disappear. The only reason there was international outrage over the video of Ben-Gvir’s abuse of flotilla activists is that they were not Palestinians. They were international activists from different countries. Had they been Palestinians, the world would have looked away as it so often does.

Proclaiming "Make Australia Great Again," mostly means I am an angry white male of a certain age who the world has left behind and I am CERTAIN it is because of immigrants, uppity women, transgender people, and everything that is "woke".
Joel Cardwell@jdcarX

@Peter_Fitz What does that even mean? Australia has always been a middle power.

Global outrage at Israel’s brutal mistreatment of the western Flotilla activists. Deafening silence when Israeli so-called ‘settlers’ attack Palestinians in the West Bank, killing families, seizing their homes and farms, bulldozing their olive trees. The. hypocrisy is disgusting

Labor’s and One Nation’s base get a payslip, not a profit share. Guess who is left representing the rump? I’ve been watching, running and commentating on political campaigns for longer than most Gen Z have been alive. The biggest lesson? The Coalition are terrible at demographics. They’ve never grasped how small the class they’ve always represented actually is, or how large the class they ignored (that stuck loyal to them for decades) has become. That ignored class (former Liberal voters) has now walked across to One Nation. And beyond age and TAFE education, their defining feature is this: they’re salaried. The flip side? Labor’s base is also mainly salaried. Which is exactly why their budget is built around that group. The Coalition are like Haig’s generals, fighting the last war from a château miles behind the line, certain one more push will break through. 3 graphs illustrate this basis point - graphs by Greg Jericho from the Guardian.
