Australia has been experiencing the ripple effects of this for years now. Our press is a shitfight, due to Murdoch and Co. Abortion rights are on the chopping block in some states, and if they aren’t some people would really like them to be. God bothering weirdos are in positions of influence and power. Cost of living is high because of corporate price gouging. Housing prices are insane! And the rich get richer. We continue to rape our land and further pollute the planet for a few bucks. And our governments look a lot alike, even though they’re allegedly from different sides of the fence. In other news, there have been 81 femicides so far this year - a new record - and no public outcry.

But I guess it could be worse.

I get so frustrated and disappointed when I see people agreeing to self segregate (as patriarchy and authoritarianism intended) instead of supporting each other across race, sex, gender, religion, socioeconomic, status, and immigration status. We are all marginalized and oppressed under the system, and until our voices are strong enough to come together and recognize that we face the same one common enemy, I fear we will not be strong enough to overcome the few who own everything.
