As with war, as with climate, as with so much else: people are going to continue to die, en masse, in both the USA and in other countries (primarily poor and non-white) dominated by the USA.

And this will continue until the people of the USA (or, in extremis, the military of the not-USA) put a stop to it.

And as “it” is completely bipartisan, and as US elections are completely and securely rigged in defence of the duopoly, voting will continue to have absolutely no effect upon this situation.

While the Tas Greens are busy stoking Sinophobia at every possible opportunity, my old NSW Greens are doing this:

Actually, I think it’s pretty obvious what motivates the drive to distort history. White supremacy relies upon denial and deflection.

OTOH, let’s not pretend that non-US cops are wonderful, either. The roots of Australian policing go back to the colonial redcoats, and the appropriate analogy for those bastards is not “Officer Friendly”, it’s “concentration camp guard” and “genocidal death squad”.

Antivax daftness reaches NZ:

Fortunately, they can’t trigger an outbreak in a place where there isn’t any community Covid to begin with.

Middle class white libs supposedly want to increase vaccination rates?

Instead of the constant sneering and enthusiasm for punitive measures, how about they try this?

Remember how Democrats mocked Trump and Republicans for continuing to rant about Clinton years after her defeat?

Remember how it was so obviously being used by the GOP as a means of distracting their wilfully deluded base from what was actually going on and keeping them focused on their ridiculous two minute hate?

Yeah, that.
