  1. #Reagan and #Thatcher will be remembered for lighting the match that set fire to the powder trail leading to the barrel of black powder yet to explode, but they did not manufacture that match out of thin air. It was an organisation that produced the *RoadMap* for them both and self-interests did the rest.

    โ€œAt his first cabinet meeting as president in 1981, Reagan distributed copies of Mandate for Leadership, whose 3,000 pages came out of the Heritage Foundation, a conservative research group in Washington, DC. This became the ideology of neoliberalism, which advocated a smaller state, industry deregulation, tax cuts, strengthened defence, and roll-back of social engineering. A year later, 60 per cent of the Mandateโ€™s proposals had been adopted by the Reagan administration, and The New York Times called it โ€˜the manifesto of the Reagan revolutionโ€™. His initiative engaged Thatcher, and spread globally to dominate public policy in democracies around the world.โ€

    The same **Heritage Foundation** is behind #tRump โ€˜s two terms as #POTUS. If you didnโ€™t know before, itโ€™s all about #NeoLiberalism a combination of #Libertarianism and #Neo-Classical #EconomicTheory sure to please the #Rich and #Entitled in any society.

    Political differentiation is whatโ€™s needed in a political system where all parties (even the #Greens afaik) are content to work with the current #Economic system which is stuck in a 40 year old dogma; that markets know best (aka #NeoClassical or #NeoLiberal economic hogwash clearly debunked twice since the #Thatcher and #Reagan anathema on #WealthEquity , #SocialLicence and #SocialDemocracy).

    Otherwise the electorate would wake up to the con job the polies perpetrate.

    And 100% on #FirstNations and #TorresStraightIslanders, all players in the political arena have #Abandonned them as a result of #TheVoice debacle (thank you #Anthony for doing fuck all to make sure the referendum passed, it clearly showed whose side youโ€™re on #AlboPM )

    Iโ€™m fucking sick of all polies and their lies, redirections, misdirections and disinformation. I can see no way out of this except 1) a mother of all global financial crash, or 2) peopleโ€™s revolutions worldwide, or 3) both. Weโ€™ve been taken for a ride for far too long IMO.

  10. Back in 1982, when #ChiefJustice John Roberts was a 26-year-old #Reagan staffer, he wrote that #minority voting protections were โ€œthe most intrusive interference imaginable by federal courts into state and local processes.โ€

    By rescinding the #VotingRights Act of 1965 this past week, he and "conservative" pals Alioto, Gorsuch etc all just completed the #election rights stifling life's work that the young #RWNJ radicals dreamed about over 40 years ago...

  11. For the first time since the start of his second term, #Trump hit 50% #disapproval in #VoteHub's #polling #aggregation today. votehub.com/polls/

    Presidents have come back from this. #Reagan bottomed out at something like 30% early in his first term, and then of course won re-election in a landslide. But Trump doesn't have that kind of political acumen.

    If we have anything resembling a fair #election, 2026 will be a bloodbath, and I'm willing to bet 2028 as well. If we don't, well, it will be a bloodbath of a different kind.

  12. so when #actors #comedians and #clowns are in #power u can expect shit to happen

    what kind of #guarantees does #Zelenskyy want? #NATO like guarantees? that's probably too much to ask for (right now)

    but yes #zelenskyy is right, that this #mineraldeal should be just the start

    but they already messed up the start :(

    #US #companies doing #mining in #Ukraine would be great, because they will SURELY protect their #mining sites with #antiaircraft #guns and #rockets so this is a win for #Ukraine

    #unfortunately this is also #true #zelenskyy was a #comedian, #actor (just as '#Reagan btw) is #rich and #rutheless does he even care about #Ukraine? (or just about himself) i don't know
