Just woke up, made a cup of tea and switched on the tv news, as is my morning routine.
First story about violence at Bondi saw NSW Opposition (Liberal) Leader Peter Debnam complaining yet again about “Middle Eastern thugs”, clearly and cynically inciting racial hatred.
Next story was Donald Rumsfeld boasting of the success of American psyops in Iraq ie the deliberate corruption of the Iraqi media to serve US propaganda.
Now, I don’t identify as left wing (although on the political compass, I’m supposedly an extreme left-libertarian) but I sure as hell will never sympathise with the right while these disgusting people are its representatives.

I too am extreme left-libertarian. I guess in terms of what I believe that’s not too surprising, although I’m not left-wing in terms of being collectivist or in favour of too much state power etc…
There are plenty of bad things about leftist politics – factionalism, thuggishness etc – but yes, the right do tend to have the most slimey, moralistic and amoral pieces of shit.
*sigh*
Books are great! I want to be a libertarian too… oh, sorry, I missread.
Extreme Librarian should be a TV show!
