Located in the heart of Surfers Paradise, Queensland, is a small suburb called the Isle of Capri. It consists of luxury waterfront properties with price tags that would make you wince like that time Idris Elba ate a hot wing. There’s one house in particular that’s up for auction in a few weeks. 6 bedrooms,…

Allow me a confession and a brief moment of weakness: summoning the will to wade back into the darkness is hard at times. There are only so many horrors, so many injustices and mutilations of a dead, better world that any thinking, feeling person can handle. Even if that dead world was more illusion than…

The Claremont Institute is simultaneously one of the most ridiculous and dangerous institutions in the US. It’s the heart of the upper-class manosphere and a “racist fever swamp”. This week, I have been revelling in journalist Katherine Stewart’s expert skewering of the pretensions of the hysterics who have made that Atlas Network junktank into a…

If you’ve had the misfortune of reading the Murdoch press or the Australian Financial Review at all in the past five years, you would know they have been nonstop writing about a group of privileged elites using public money to fund their own lavish lifestyle with a blatant disregard for peasant taxpayers. Weirdly, they’re not…

Lack of widespread accountability has always protected horrible men. This layer of protection has lasted so long and grown so solid within our society that the men who abuse it have also become emboldened by it. It has shaped the world we live in.

In The Great Gatsby, F Scott Fitzgerald was scathing about the dismal faux-intellectual posturing of the very rich around the “decline of the West”.

These fever dreams of civilisational destruction, fostered by historian Edward Gibbon and fascist…

“This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal” – Aaron Bushnell  As news of yet more immoral, illegal, moronic war waged by a cadre of borderless psychopathic pedophiles started to break, the ABC’s John Lyons labelled Prime Minister Albanese’s declaration of support “political propaganda”. Hearing such unvarnished truth is rare these days,…

As the shattering of the comfortable illusion of Western democracy enters its Epstein-drenched speedrunning phase, a number of disturbing developments in Australia have emerged that, when viewed collectively, reveal a pattern: a slide into authoritarianism at the hands of the Australian government, state governments, and their parasitic, supremacist leash holders.  Without attempting to be definitive,…

Yesterday, the gulf between the will of the Australian people and the actions of the Australian government revealed itself to be a chasm. A chasm filled with hundreds of thousands of murdered Palestinians, genocidal war criminals on state visits, and the authoritarian destruction of norms we once considered innate democratic rights. Clearly, the beatings will…

Chuck D from Public Enemy knew about Pauline Hanson.  Back before the dark times, those of streaming platforms and corporate ticketing, the Australian music industry had quite a big feather in its cap: its music festival season. For decades, gatherings like the Big Day Out, Homebake, Falls, Splendour In The Grass, Summadayze and Soundwave crashed…
