Huh, i thought they’d be visting all over the country since its their first visit in this capacity.

It’ll be interesting to see turnout, i reckon there’ll be big crowds, peoples attitudes seem to have changed on them since they became the monarchs.

Don’t worry, they’ll survive, so will the planet. Its less certain for the rest of humanity and many other plant and animal species though. /j (kind of).

Anyway, we’re doing your server and thus username no justice, commenting in such gloomy terms. Solarpunk is such a breath of fresh air into these issues. And where endemic power structures fail you already see its themes of strengthened community bonds quickly reestablish themselves and shine through.

Solarpunk also hits the nail on the head with iur societies key issue. Its the structural design of our societies elevating private ownership claims as superior to societal ownership claims, its imbalanced.

But Covid, financial crises, wars and now Climate change quickly prove the, so called, independently strong are actually only as strong as the societal strength holding them tall.

Sorry, went off on a tangent.

Wow, not a fan of Nike generally, but i def learned a few new things from that burst of typespiration.

Theres a book called “Shoe Dog”, (i haven’t read it), about the beginning of Nike, maybe you should write a response book called “Dog Shoes - A Nike Exploitation story”.

Its been a long time coming. The sentiment of the rest of Australia has only grown in this direction as the terrible animal treatment in other countries and the arguments for deepening of our own economic value adding processes have strengthened.

Farmers had over a decade since the last serious push for them to set up a different business model themselves and they haven’t as an industry done it.

Its time government stepped in to provide the new direction for the industry and finally take heed of the wider Australian moral sentiment about the treatment of our animals in these circumstances.

I didn’t read it that way. Sounds like for whatever reason the RMIT partnership is ending but ABC is going to carry on with it on their own.

This is probably a bad development. RMIT gave the work an extra sense of rigour and independence. It meant liberals and nationals, and conservatives in general couldn’t dismiss their work as just more ABC lefty commie wokeratti greenie stuff, as so many of those people reflexively do now.

The ABC should immediately start looking for a new partner of similar calibre in this ongoing endeavour.

I’d rather chill in the spirit world. Maybe spend a few years lost in the fog of lost souls, go hang with Hei Bai, attack some rando’s cause someones been breakin trees, end most nights catching up on some reading at Wan Shi’s library. I’d avoid the face stealer, cause that ones a dick! Probably drop in on Iroh once in a while for an injection of wisdom in my life.

Spirit world is where its at.
