As with renewable energy I think the valid argument to be the economic shortcomings of the course being taken. Arguing the moral shortcomings of migrants or a secret genocidal objective of government will not benefit the growing number of homeless people.

Armchair Critic,
How would Jill Stein deal with aggression then ?

Dear Ttbn,

Since you are concerned about the loss of Western civilisation, I can recommend you the book "The Drawing of the Dark" by Tim Powers - I think you will enjoy it.

As far as I am concerned, I don't care who answers the phone when I call for an essential service or go shopping, what their race, culture, religion or gender/sexual orientation, etc. is - so long as they are human!

Being able to live, go places and perform the normal activities we always used to do without giving in to digital devices and their rule is becoming more and more difficult and even impossible: being concerned about petty ethnic/cultural differences is a rare luxury indeed when the whole human race is being sidelined and colonised by computers.

Banjo Paterson,

DEI as a philosophy is dying from illegitimacy; Captured as a tool of disruption by radical leftists, resulting in outcomes such as burning down the town to defend Black lives (BLM), has given the concept bad PR; thus my pun, DIE as in a dying illegitimate concept.

You do bleat on about preconceived ideas concerning the inequity of the inequality, as you perceive, of the Australian Indigenous race.
From my vantage point, getting a large swath of society offside with resentment towards them by high minded attempts to equalise perceived injustices through the eyes of elitist activists with little concept of what really matters to them, is counterproductive towards an honest and welcome inclusion.
Thus my reference to the Roman Empire. It’s meant to belittle such hypocrisy.

Your reference to your individualism as a high minded choice is elitism in fact.

Methinks aligning your concept of yourself to the alter-ego, may be having inadvertent consequences.

Rite on target with progressing a dead concept , DEI. (Or DIEas I prefer).

God save us!

Yuyutsu,

I'll look for the book. I usually read 3 at a time: one of them I'm on at the moment is ‘The End of Everything’ by Victor Davis Hanson. It is about how and why civilisations ended. I read a bit of history, and I have to say that what is happening now is starting to look redolent of the past.

I do mind who answers the phone and who I have to deal with because my hearing is bad, and I can't understand accents, particularly Indian accents; and they seem to be the people who are in aged care and answering calls for help with the internet and such things. I don't ring anyone I don't know because they might have an accent, talk too fast, mumble and so on. I still don't need any ‘carers’, but I dread the time when I do.

There is nothing “petty” about my concerns, and there would be thousands of old people who are in the same boat.

The problem is nothing to do with race, I have lost the ability to pick up certain tones and sounds. Old age. Something that politicians and bureaucrats are yet to experience. They don't take into account the problems old people have. And a cashless society, mobile phones, digital ID and ever- changing technology - certain people - are a real problem.
