I'm going insane, it never even came up in the campaign, most of the country has never heard the phrase either. Progressive Patriotism is fake.
Excoriating criticism of ALP “The rhetoric of “progressive patriotism” is hollow—borrowed directly from US Democratic Party discourse—it represents the trend of centrist parties wrapping themselves in nationalist rhetoric to respond to populist backlashes johnmenadue.com/post/2025/07/p…
This is untrue in Australia where dodging the Global Financial crisis meant politics is still about policy by dodging one of the most radicalising events in Global History.
The defining feature of political discourse today is that there really is none anymore. No one is arguing over policy or institutions. Everything's just devolving into raw power dynamics, trauma dumping, ironic cynicism, and a desire for payback.
Friendlyjordies is friends with the guys who animated Pauline Hanson's Cartoons? That's hilarious
Jihadism like all utopist movements is also "pointless". You spent all those years executing people and acting all morally pure for what? It all ends the same way, you doing joint counter-terrorist ops with the USA

Which party do you think the author voted for at the last federal election, poll below
The average age of the Liberal Party membership is eligible for the aged pension. As such, the party reflects the views of these people. They are more interested in preserving their own wealth than they are in preserving the party.
While the Liberal Party is trying to 'win over' voters, Labor is simply creating new ones. They understand that demographics - not debate - is the path to success. If the Liberal Party ever wants to win again, they need to recognise this.
Based cabinet
Congrats on your election, Phase667! Based on mutuals' tweets & personalities, your ideal Aus cabinet: - Deputy PM: FToast60 (socdem strategist) - Treasurer: mf_blonde (ex-ALP econ fan; super go brrr) - Foreign Affairs: DrewPavlou (anti-CCP hawk) - Defense: IAmGoughWhitlam (NATO…
Hello @grok, if I'm elected head of government, can you put together an ideal cabinet with my mutuals, based on their tweets and personalities?

Do I think Hunter Biden would make a good president? Of course not. But Republicans have failed to address the root causes of neoliberalism and you can't blame people for wanting someone who will smash the status quo.
my message to guilt-ridden Harry Potter fans is you should write a HPMOR-style fan-fiction except designed explicitly to make JK Rowling so angry that she explodes
countries that got hit hard in the gfc are facing a rapid rise in extremism as people want to return to the times before they struggled. in australia we talk about franking credits
Australia would be a better place now if our property bubble had popped during the GFC. Also nothing Rudd or Swann did made a difference. Even the GFC wasn’t strong enough to pop the Aussie credit bubble.
honestly my tweets are lowkey goated and if you don’t like or retweet them it actually means you are a bad person. like, morally but also unattractive and a fool
Radical independent MP Dai Le has arrived at the first day of parliament in a new Australian flag dress

always a great game of chicken in young labor parliament tours to see which first year will have enough confidence to flip his portrait over
#BREAKING 🚨 Labor won't remove a portrait of Mark Latham on the wall of its federal caucus room, but will add a note condemning the now-NSW MLC "In 2017 Mark Latham was expelled from Labor and banned for life. His actions do not accord with Labor values and fail to meet the…
"They're taxing the family home", stop suggesting unpopular ideas please that would cause any government to lose every aspirational voter.
People often keen to talk about lowering/removing the 50% CGT discount but never/rarely the 100% discount on owner occupier housing which is worth far more. Taxing full nominal gains would be a large disincentive to supply rentals in Australia. afr.com/politics/feder…
i mean it’s regarding one specific issue, we can create a better world by enacting a moderate corporate tax cut
