“…disagreements between the Socialist Alliance and the Socialist Alternative having led to a major split in 2020…”. That does sound like fracturing. Given that Crikey readers are generally informed and engaged politically, I don’t reckon Rachel needed to qualify that comment. Yes, your knowledge of left-wing political happenings in Victoria is unsurpassed, but that doesn’t mean other people can’t do stories on the same subject without you megaphoning you could have done it better.
Anyhow GR, wouldn’t you rather be the older guy in the workplace who is a mentor to the next generation, rather than a nit-picking critic?
Where do you reckon the bile came from? The reminisce you were doing about ABC days and what might have been? Coulda, shoulda? Or was it a side effect of the Ozempic or something? I think you should say sorry.

Hey, thanks, sorted out – feel better now.

Can’t be any worse is faint praise…

It boggles my mind, how even people who recognise that the greed-crazed vandals who’ve been running the show since forever are steering this bus off a cliff, have such little enthusiasm for pointing the bus in the opposite direction.

Burning the entire shtshow to the ground and going back to the stone age can’t be any worse than the current version of capitalism, if we look up a bit to include as little as a century of the future.

Nuance not your strong suit, evidently

You can just hit the other arrow twice

Glad you called this out Grundle. I was a bit dissapointed by the tone of this article. This guy deserves to be taken seriously. And yeah his image and language ruffles the feathers of our older citizens, but his ideas have merit. Certainly has shaken up my political jadedness.

Jeez, I’ve never thought of that. That’s not a bad idea.

He did. A persuasive case for the appointment of politicians for a limited period, similar to jury duty.

I could take one of everyone else if it matters that much to you.

Sorry roberto I pushed the wrong arrow, add two to your count.

Ditto to your post (preferences after the Greens and any teal independents that tick all my boxes.)
