Pauline Hanson’s populism is a joke. But there are lessons in it for ‘super-progressives’

Ok, thank you. I'll experiment and see what happens.

Thank you. I'll use the Thumbnail URL. Can you explain to me the difference? I am not very tech-savvy.
That's strange. I did put the address in the URL space and then saved the image separately because it did not come up automatically as this set up does with articles from such as The Guardian and The Conversation. If I make this mistake again please let me know.
Oh sorry, thank you for that. I always use the web address in the URL space but sometimes I forget to include it in the Main body section. I'll put it up now so people can access it from there as well as your comment.
Thanks for that and apologies for having overlooked Frugal.
Maybe we should now exchange tips on how we can organise systematic change. We sure need it.
I appreciate also where you’re coming from but at this point in time isn't it more useful for us all to take some responsibility rather than wait for the Revolution? You reckon those bastards are going to allow the nationalisation of assets and allow themselves to be toppled next year?
I am also aware that many people are going to be struggling financially even more than now when the effects of war really hit us and it may ( ?)be an opportunity to step out of capitalist consumerism and to look after nature and each other. It seems to me you think posts like the above are girly, inconsequential puff pieces. People have to look after kids, feed them, home families, or themselves in hostile housing markets and pay for any number of groceries which are often overpriced and overpoisoned. Exchanging information and bringing sociability is important for community-building.
I am as political as the next leftie but if we take humanity and care out of our interchange then we are just a bunch of head-driven wankers who just put up a list of grievances to say how outraged we are by the system (which I am too) . Let's be a bit humble and not look down upon each other.
Signed.
May I suggest that "Renewables at the cost of extinction" is an unfortunate title which may tend to only attract the anti-renewables, pro-fossil fuels mob of whom many don't care about endangered species.
This platform has a lot of people who are pro-renewables and who might be suspicious of organisations that put up such headlines and may result in them being put off from signing the letter to the NSW Govt. It doesn't help that one of Aussie Ark's partners is Glencore.
But, the letter that Aussie Ark asks us to sign is actually much more reasonably drafted and is worth signing so I signed it. It asks that the project not go through the vulnerable and unique habitat that these little frogs inhabit and says that Aussie Ark is not anti-renewables. The Australian Conservation Foundation would agree that our endangered wildlife should not be put at further risk by renewable projects or any other industrial project.
Thanks for that info. Perhaps you could do a post to let more people know about these options.
CF, please look at Zagorath's comment. Also, do some research and you'll find that these words and variations thereof have been used by Israelis as well for their purposes.
Palestinian use is about becoming free of oppression and genocide. Israeli use is about taking as much as they can from whoever they can with biblical justification which is more than questionable. Your slogan is plain provocation to violence and execution of a particular religious group.

Walk on the Wild Side - and raise funds for Aussie wildlife in April
(fundraiseforwildlife.wires.org.au)
It doesn't have to be exactly the same. The underlying elements repeat a pattern and manifest like a 'variation on a theme' whether with or without speed of information. I found this document that lists the elements of fascism. You may note that many of them are active today : https://www.keene.edu/academics/cchgs/resources/presentation-materials/characteristics-and-appeal-of-fascism/download/
