If I can’t share a Curly Wurly then it’s not a revolution.
The issue is when you refuse to engage in the legal process at all you lose the right to find compromise. It’s the same reason Alex Jones was defaulted.
It’s got good trains.
Maybe someone else would be a better judge on what the source is. I know the UK had a period of more entrenched socialist policies prior to Thatcher that may affect the general population’s perceptions of the movement. The poisonous Murdoch newspaper/media ecosystem can’t help either.
The allegations are that outlaw bikie gang members were acting as delegates and were involved in government-funded projects. It comes off the back of the Victorian branch’s leader John Setka being expelled from the ALP due to some ugly allegations of domestic abuse.
The difference between my experiences in the UK and Australia were… interesting. Being upfront, my time in the UK was extremely radicalisng.
In the UK there was a general distain from the media and most people I met for the labour movement. While at the time there was some real bright spots like seeing crowds singing The Internationale, it was mostly an extremely depressing environment. I think the number of people who are a part of their union is similar to Australia but there seems to be a more aggressive negative sentiment from non-members. But my experience was that there was some really strong displays of solidarity despite the outside attacks. But the level of wealth inequality was sickening and probably not helped by a cultural obsession with the monarchy.
Back in Australia you’d think there would be strong culture of working class solidarity, with the Australian Labor Party (ALP) being the first Labor party to have ever formed government in the world in 1904, but its [solidarity has] been in steep decline here since the 80s with union membership down from nearly half of all workers to close to 10%. Despite that decline, the unions here still hold a lot of influence, being a key driver behind the general strike in 2005 where 1/2 million people marched against exploitative employment laws. The unions also control the majority of ‘superannuation’ funds which all employers make compulsory payments into on behalf of their workers, and the unions own some successful energy cooperatives, insurers and credit unions. However the movement is going through a particularly rough patch this last month with corruption allegations, and parliamentary interventions, some sketchy leadership issues and some sharp divisions appearing along gender lines, all while the ALP adopts increasingly neo-liberal policies.

Fair call. I only just got the community update so I hadn’t seen it.
My mother scream crying in front of all of us during dinner when she received another rejection from her latest job interview. We were having baked potatoes. Which was a special treat to us as kids, but years later she told me it was what we ate when she couldn’t afford to put a full meal on the table.
It’s such a genuinely unhinged document. I was reading it after seeing some specific page numbers online and I wanted to see the original source. it’s just a fucked view of the world.
Or on a pepper steak pie ⋎(❉_❉)⋎. Cutting off the top, putting the sauce in there and mixing it in with the gravy. Tasty.
Shawn Fain is such a charismatic speaker, the contrast between Trump and Fain is night and day.
I know it’s celebrity news, so might not be true but the story of his special contract clause has been around for a while now.
"During our filming, JM closed the Kang deal. I remember asking said friend about it, and they shared some details. X number of movies, X number of dollars, and more interestingly, due to the nature of the character and potential multiple versions, JM had a contract clause stating that only he could play any and all versions of Kang.”
His contract said he was the only person who could play Kang in any multiverse.
I just earned my long service leave this year and I am fucking stoked.
Goddam this one was heartbreaking
I don’t see them so much, but maybe because I’m on slrpnk
Turns out of you do this with a basic block of cheddar and cheap shaved ham, everyone still thinks you’re being fancy and compliments you on the cheese choice.
