    You couldn’t get a better example of the corporate stranglehold on media. Time for everyone to read manufacturing consent

    I love how The Age put their article about Palmer trying to buy the election with ads right above one of his ads.

    There are only two genders…

    Except for: <giant list of genetic, epigenetic, developmental, etc… things that happen with human beings>.

    Not to mention all the other things that happen with other living things

      You’re kind of missing the point.

      Everyone knows there are more than 2 genders. It’s an easily falsifiable statement.

      It’s an incendiary statement designed to foment division.

      There are as many genders as you can think of.

      There are two sexes (M/F), but they exist on a continuum rather than a binary.

      Also, why are we so obsessed with sex and gender? They want us to be distracted by this bullshit.

      Wake up and realise the Class Consciousness!

      Yeah, and so are red-heads, Karen. In fact, red-heads are rarer than intersex people. Are red-heads not worthy of basic respect and dignity?

        I feel like this statistic is probably taken out of context. Like if you look at all of earth it’s probably true, 1.7%. of people being intersex and 1-2% of people having red hair. But in places where people actually* have red hair such as northern and western Europe that goes to 2-6% and reduces to basically 0 in places where people of European heritage don’t live. So basically what I’m saying is if you live in a place where you regularly see people with red hair you are probably seeing them more often then you are seeing people who are intersex. And the opposite being true too if you don’t regularly see people with red hair you see intersex people much more often. Overall I think it’s unhelpful in giving a realistic idea of the comparative amount of intersex people.

    Well, they should have put the pic of the male on the left and the female on the right then, just so they’re not adding to any possible “confusion”.

      LOL. Clive saw Trump win and ordered his people to lean into identifying as closely with that as they can get away with legally. It’s like scammy electric-car startups a few years ago choosing names that sounded as reminiscent of Tesla as possible (Nikola, Faraday Future) without actually infringing on any trademarks.

      The problem of that the plausibly-deniable reading of his new party name, with its Biblical-apocalyptic imagery and emphatic pledge-of-allegiance patriotism, comes across as exceedingly American, to the point where most undecided Australians would take one look and say “yeah, nah”.

          Absolutely. Some of those fucked-up stars look like maple or cannabis leaves 😆 It’s not like Palmer couldn’t have afforded an illustrator, either. Right-wing boomers just love AI garbage for some reason.

          Oh, and as a bonus, the Latin is wrong 😆

            You can’t trust an illustrator, as most people who can draw are commies. Which is why AI exists: so right-wing people can get art made without paying some dirty hippie who believes in equality and human rights.
