    Everything I hear about Australia makes it seem like they’re desperately trying to let everyone know how reprehensible the ruling class there is

      The ruling class (emboldened since Trump. Not the other day, the first time) is ramping up division to try and win elections because it really works on barely engaged proles.

      They’re hiring ad companies to throw anti labour ads on Facebook (which Australian millennials still use for some reason). Those ads weren’t even true, Labor is no way that based, and they disguised them as shitposts instead of sponsored political attack ads.

      Luckily the (relative) lack of Christian nationalists compared to the US means there’s a much weaker Evangelical base.
