They're Gunna Kill Us

Sean here. I've been making videos about the recent discovery of my Autism (or Neurodivergence) and here they are in podcast form. Wow. Go off.

Blockade Australia people have just had a brutal two weeks and thanks to draconian bail conditions they can't even talk to each other about it. Go to their website for further details on what they're about.

TGKU show notes (guest Celeste Liddle) Pt 2 “We can smell blood” Part 2. Show notes, including times of Celeste’s bits Hillsong Enjoying Scott’s suffering Sean makes possibly no sense about import/export religion 4 minutes 10 seconds.

DIY it seat by seat, issue by issue.

TGKU show notes (guest Celeste Liddle) “We can smell blood” Part 1. Show notes, including times of Celeste’s bits. We return after over a year. High on life, watching conservative sc*m eat sh*t. We are joined by Celeste Liddle, who got the biggest swing with the most anti-establishment campaign for the Greens in Cooper. ALP boat turnbacks make ALP twitter go quiet for a second. Victorian Premier Dan Andrews continues his years long attack on the right to protest, wants to give forest activists a year in jail. Police attack on refugee protesters at MITA. Police ideological alignment with lockdown era cooker protests. VicForest is illegally logging. Thanks Dan! Mainstream media trying and failing to talk about politics. On purpose. 17 minutes: Celeste talks about how she thought the election might go. Media go up their own arses. How does a person make any sense of this. 22:10 Celeste speaks about media. ALP supporter vote compass freak out. 27:40 Celeste talks about insanely racist and ALP supporter response to her camapaign announcement. The Section 44 debacle. 23 pages of racist, sexist, patronising comments in first 3 days of campaign. Wong and Plibsersek retweeting the garbage. Emily’s List ffs. “They were fixated on me and Lidia.” F*cked up abuse directed at women on the left by people on the left. 37 minutes: Celeste talks about countering attacks. Too few calling it out. Zero solidarity from so-called progressive women in power. The strange silence of the compromised. Swinging anarchists The point of getting into politics. 44:20 Celeste on being a feminist, anarchist leaning Arrernte woman deciding to run. A repugnant, colonial system. Dan’s cop-focused way to deal with pandemic crisis. A handful of people make decisions in the country. They need to be checked. ALP entitlement. “I don’t see being a politician as being a career.” Until about 4 years ago the Greens had about as much substance on Indigenous politics as the majors. Lidia Thorpe, sovereignty activist, showed there was a different way. Unexpected alliances. The difference between organising and campaigning. 1 hour: Celeste on keeping control of her excellent social media during a campaign. Grassroots and punk rock. DIY collectivism. Teals were far more corporate, but still injected excitement. Anti-fascism. What it means to live in a successful and thriving society. Left on our own with fires and floods. Not getting stuck in the electoral cycle. 1:16:30 Celeste on post-campaign thoughts. Growing up rusted-on Labor. S11, children overboard and the Intervention. Turning points. Pat O’Shane. Lidia showed “we can do things our way.” This is the system, change it or dismantle it. Anarchists will be mad. Sean is Autistic, apparently. Child sacrifice is wrong. Part two coming shortly.

Ben Roberts-Smith is Australia's most decorated soldier and a real piece of work.

Give up on politics! Unless you're gunna get involved at a genuinely grassroots level and build a movement from the ground up, of course.

Phil Evans returns and everyone gets excited about the ban on fracking, Sean gets sidetracked and then Sam gets into what to actually do about the horror that is Australian government. Stuff like changing the government. Like really changing it. Like how to do it and why and what demands to make and how hard to fight now that everyone's on the same page about how rooted Straya is at every level.

A monster with a swastika on his forehead commits a hate crime. A serial rapist loose in Parliament and a Defence Minister melts down and goes to hospital. The Government sets up a hotline for the worst employers to terrorise people. Social media megalomaniacs take on an entire nation. It's been a big week.

Fuck
