Swathes of schoolchildren picketed the halls of power globally. Their message clear. Start thinking about the earth morons. They are aware. Aware of what lies their parents and grandparents have swallowed for generations. aware that there is no planet B, aware that we will destroy the earth with our subservience to corporate greed, aware that mister and missus politician are selling out their future health and wellbeing in favour of profitable returns for overly wealthy shareholders.
What has been the predictable response. Denial. Denial of an issue that is simply unprofitable for the immediate future. The prehistoric powers who uphold and enforce the archaic ideologies of their ill educated forbears would have us believe that humanity will disappear if the fossil fuel market were to be eradicated. That society itself would collapse if the nepotistic corporate democracy were forced to act with ecological considerations in mind.
Meanwhile Australian politicians seem convinced that promoting racial division is the most pressing issue of our time. A policy that has given rise to a nursery of terrorists within our own borders. The man to the right is one such terrorist. He took a gun to a place of worship and commenced to massacre innocent people whilst they were engaging in the act of prayer. An act that has drawn outright condemnation from everybody except conservative politicians and far right supporters. All of whom gave lip service to the victims before using the tragedy to spruik their philosophies of hate.
One such politician was Senator Fraser Anning, who continued spawned international spurn and condemnation with his ridiculous comments suggesting the real cause of the terrorist attack was allowing Muslims into new Zealand. He continued his agenda of hatred one day later by giving a press conference in a thinly veiled attempt to deflect ire over his divisive comments redirect attention to the only threat he and the rest of his ilk see as real.
Once more, however, the youth would have its say. In a simple action that has since raised his status to that of god emperor amongst the tech savvy youth, Will Connolly smashed an egg into the back of Fraser Anning's hairless head. The action has since invigorated a long dormant sentiment in Australia that views hatred based terrorism as Un-Australian as not wagging school to hang out with your mates. The protest is once more predictably being labelled as a stunt by Right wing proponents of racial division. Most likely concerned about the bottom line of politics. Shareholders profits.
