Ally with minority progressive parties and while maintaining public confidence through charismatic leadership use them to introduce policies that weaken the status quo.
Yep and "the journey is just beginning". So many of these shitheads clutter the history books while she next door wakes at 2 am to comfort a crying child.
"Failed Coup" - successful reality show more like it. The expert manipulators who trained and planted these clowns and staged a show to defuse trumpite anger before the concession speech don't fool me. I have zero evidence for this of course, but to me it ...
Benito did actually make Italy great again (conquered Abyssinia with poison gas attacks on civilians, occupied Albania, drained the pontine marshes, "trains ran on time" etc) but after the Treaty of London betrayal picked the wrong side. https://www....

No years and no last days only an eternal moment ungrasped and mourned. I was making money I don't need "today" and on the way I met a beekeeper who said "all bees are wild" and "bees are not aggressive". They range five km (not a mm more or less - just ...
Yes, but if the government hadn't given land to the settlers crying out for it local militia might have taken the law into their own hands. https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/TH18631205.2.20?query=corbett Thankfully, parliament and legal process,...
The key word is "academics" they got through med school and found that healing obese, semiliterate people and whining "worried well" was not suited to their "high achievement drive" so a chance of tenure and (notice the joint authorship) no direct, ...

I would add that our choices are influenced by advertising and media and by how much cash you have to spend and where you live. I see an urgent need for government action to ensure a liveable income and a home in a safe community with access to sustainable...
Electric machines used unnecessarily to replace manual tasks impair wellbeing when they replace the mental and physical activity that reduces risk of metabolic disease, mental illness and cancer. <Importantly, physical inactivity, itself, often plays an ...
Political leaders still have to get enough votes to win power. I had hoped that like Lange, Ardern would front a covert revolutionary agenda, but so far no sign of this. Lange succeeded - hence most of today's inequality related suffering. No covert Labour...
The policy options debated between the main parties are too similar. In a healthy democracy the main party in government should have policies that are strongly opposed to policies of the opposition parties, otherwise there is no real choice and people come...

The two things - the government could nationalise the construction industry and lead a massive new housing project with location, site development and architecture based on what people actually need (plenty of science on this) as opposed to what we want (...
I think loyalty to one's class is more important. Class conflict politically is much less boring than the grey present. If only our working class would unite and support a political party worth opposing !!!!! By the way, do we still have a working class ?
Human SPECIES many races and the races that know how to survive on little by cunning, inherited knowledge and belief systems will survive the years ahead and preserve the species. It won't be the anthropomorphised pet adoring concrete pourers (like that ...
The people you are talking about contribute indirectly to the support of less wealthy by getting out of their individual houses and thereby increasing supply, by dividends to shareholders in the retirement industry, putting cash into private hands to be ...
Transferring wealth from the rich to the poor to the long term benefit of everyone would be a better alternative.
You are probably right, most houses around here have new occupants every five years or so and no one is growing food. I just can't understand it. In the 1950s when I was growing up no one I knew did this. Your house and backyard garden was your home where ...
While enjoying the relative peace and calm before the next crisis hits, my neighbours are concreting and decking over fertile backyard land they might one day need to grow food. They trust the supermarket cargo cult to survive any conceivable crisis. Bless...
