I think Woke/ Marxist's/ Academics mean something different when they say "sieze the day" in the sense that if they can stop everything working ie. seize the machinery of the economy- it will create scarcity and desperation- and the electorate will be forced to do as they say.

ttbn-

Yes the Labor Party's attempt to reduce the independence of the Futures Fund is very concerning- they are playing chicken with the future. The government aren't really in a position to be picking winners or losers here- that's why it's supposed to be independent. I suppose that they will be using the courts in political action next- wait they've already done that.

One reason the Greens did ok at some recent elections is because they changed their focus to demographic issues, such as housing for under 35's, student loans for under 25's, but talk is not the same as action on the fundamental problem. Marxist's like the Greens believe that redistribution is the solution, others believe in growing the pie.

Dutton has a difficult job- but I have to admire his courage in ending the 50 year conspiracy of silence over immigration between the Lanor and Liberal Parties that Bob Hawke apparently referred to in his 1984 memoires- that was an act of betrayal of those of Australian ancestry and of Britain itself.

I think that whatever happens Dutton needs to at least promote debate on immigration. There are a lot of vested interests here that will be fighting to crush the Australian people under the multicultural grinding wheel.

Multiculturalism isn't good for any culture in the end except for nihilistic Marxism- but some cultures think they can get temporary advantage of their perceived enemies in the short term- without realising that they are making a very powerful and aggressive foe stronger.

Even nihilistic Marxism is self destroying.

I've just come across an interesting article about
Peter Dutton by Belinda Jones. She gives 65 reasons why
Dutton is unfit to be Prime Minister.

She's probably one of those "Marxists" some are talking
about here. Whatever that means.

So be aware of her underlying motives. These people can't
be trusted. I read on at my peril.

Peter Dutton has said that he will not stand in front of
an Aboriginal flag if he ever becomes PM. I don't think
he needs to worry about that.

Dutton is no stranger to controversy. Belinda Jones
tells us - "his offensive pattern of behaviour continues
to darken his political career".

"Dutton has regularly graced front pages due to
offensive comments, uttered falsehoods, hypocrisy, misogynistic
remarks, wilfully inflammatory statements, lacking
evidence, fending scandals, ministerial interventions
and other faux pas like being linked to shady deals or
shady people. And of course there's sheer incompetence".

Jones says that "Often Dutton has claimed he was misunderstood".
Sound familiar? No wonder Trump supporters like him.

"Or that he's taken out of context. Gas lighting the nation
into believing it's us who are getting him wrong - which
could be conceivable if such incidents only happened
occasionally over the year".

" However, in this case it's not a one off. It's a pattern
of behaviour that has been the watermark of his political career".

Now wait for the ad hominem attacks
from people who know both me and Belinda Jones so well.

More from the web:

"Most Trump and Dutton supporters are fundamentality
sociopathic. They have cultist mentalities. They
are creatures of belief not rationality or
empirical fact, rather like fundamentalist
religionists.".

"If the leaders they admire say something then it is true.
Absolutely, always, in all ways. It doesn't matter
to them that their leaders
lie because they don't believe that they lie to them".

"That's how they can claim to be in the case of
Dutton - "true blue" or in the case
of Trump - "American patriots"
and defenders of their nation.

Something to think about.

Talking about "Carpe Diem", or " Seize The Day?"

I brought this up because I saw Dame Judi Dench
on the January 2025 cover of the Australian
Women's Weekly. In an interview Dame Dench
talked about the tattoo she got on her wrist for
her 81st Birthday. She explained that:

"I love it, I have it on my wrist. "Carpe Diem".
People say, I know what that means. It means
"seize the day". But it's not. I learnt this just
a few weeks ago, listening to the radio. It's
much more than seize the day. It's "savour the
day". Isn't that nicer? Savour is to, you know,
to really enjoy. Seize - there is something a bit
rough about that. Savour is much better.
"Savour the day".

I agreed with that. And thought it a nice thing
to say - for a New Year.

And instead, Once again over these innocent remarks
"Woke Marxism" was brought into the conversation.

Weird people on this forum?

Certainly are! It seems that
We can't have any conversations without
"Woke Marxism" finding its way in.

Hard to fathom.

Seize the day- like a Soviet Supermarket!

The Russians had to quickly learn to seize the day
under the Soviet regime in order to survive.

Don't forget to mention how many had a Dacha and how
many had a car to get to one.

Soviet joke:

A man walks into a supermarket. He asks a clerk:

"You don't have any meat?"

The clerk replies:

"No, here we don't have any fish. The market that doesn't
have any meat is across the street".
