The anti-woke, anti-étatist counterrevolution has been slow in emerging in Australia. We have no well-established free-market, free-speech party. The LNP are étatist; PHON are conspiracy- mongering deadheads; and our Libertarians are too Rothbardian.

There are hundreds if not thousands of public servants busting their guts, usually with no overtime payment, working to make Australians safe and get them home. A shout out to them!

Said before but its just another rhetorical import from the USA, which is par for the course for most Aboriginal activism. It starts with Garveyism (he was Jamaican) and Fred Maynard with Negro Advancement League ideas. Then Freedom Rides in the 1960s, direct import. Kath Walker, activist worked on the docks and took on US Black Power/Communism ideas from black US sailors. Passed to her son Denis Walker who started the Aus Black Panthers, direct import. BLM movement was imported and applied to deaths in custody more recently. Blackbirding is snazzed up to sound like US chattel slavery. Land rights, sovereignty, embassy ideas are imported from Native Americans. The National Black Theatre in Redfern was a direct import from Harlem, with the same name and the same people involved. Now its smallpox blankets.

Tony Armstrong told ABC viewers the First Fleet committed genocide by intentionally introducing smallpox to Aboriginal people. The foremost historian on the subject disagrees. So does the virus itself. A thread on what happens when ideology replaces evidence 🧵

I would trust this man to keep his word over anyone in the Westminster bubble. The entire political establishment is intent on replacing him with welfare-dependent third world colonists. White van man is fundamentally good. You are sneering, wretched, and treacherous.

The British state seems to have hit upon the hazily defined common law offence of ‘misconduct in public office’ to string up anyone who has been deemed a bad person by media outrage but who hasn’t clearly broken any laws. Dystopian, illiberal, should spook us all.

Won't be popular but someone's got to say it: the trial by media of both Prince Andrew and Peter Mandelson is not justice. Me at @UnHerd unherd.com/2026/02/trial-…

Proof that London and the UK is way out of control I just went into Pret-a-Manger to buy my breakfast Handed over a tenner & the server took 30 seconds to check it for being fake. It was a I said to him, “do you get a lot of fake money here”? And he said, “you would be shocked… Not only do we get a lot of fake money, but people start fights with us when we check it. So now we have to wear body cams” He showed me his body cam. Body cams in fucking Pret-a-Manger for buying toasties & coffee. This is the real state of London and the UK. This is not doom mongering, this is for real

@JohnAndersonAC It is simply not true that Australia now employs more public servants per capita than any other country in the world.

‘Beatrice and Eugenie are at risk of not only losing out financially, but also in terms of social status…’ If the only basis for your wealth, way of life and social status is your father, then you have to accept all of that can work both ways. metro.co.uk/2026/02/21/utt…

Low-IQ conservatives are convinced of massive pedophilia rings in the exact same way low-IQ progressives are convinced of racist police violence. It is not an evidence-based position, and evidence will not change their minds.
