"Deputy prime minister Michael McCormack’s attack on “raving inner-city
lunatics” who believe in climate science may just seem a bit unhinged
but it is part of a broader government strategy to quell political
dissent that is hiding in full sight.
As fires burn across eastern Australia, the government is in textbook
authoritarian mode, deliberately inflaming division and manufacturing
outrage towards its critics in an attempt to divert from its own
manifest failure to protect the regions."
Via Muse, who wrote "Australia’s current government is on a path not so
different from Austria during WW2."
