‘It’s all rigged unless we win’ has become Republican standard practice and that’s a pretty big problem for the whole project of democracy tbh!

only two situations where violent clashes with the state helps you achieve desired social change: 1. you are attacked by the state first and you don't retaliate by fighting back or rioting 2. you successfully lead an insurrection otherwise riots = more votes for your opposition

everyone takes that one MLK quote out of context (the whole point is that you shouldn't simply condemn riots without also condemning the conditions that create them) IMO celebrating mindless rioting is very indicative of powerlessness and that powerlessness is not noble per se

Not really, given that superannuation tax concessions cost a lot in forgone revenue This only makes sense if you pretend that fiscal incidence isn't a thing and only spending matters

Australia escaped the horrors we see coming out of France right now with their pension spending.

The fiscal upside is real but it's political in nature: You can sell weaker/lower retirement income as something caused by market forces rather than having to directly reduce the age pension

Leaving old age welfare intact while letting the rest of the welfare state rot was and is good right-wing strategy Keep the boomers voting for you and foster resentment against old age welfare among young people

i have a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach that eventually the boomer property tax revolt will foment a reverse-polarity version in young people ("well then why should i keep paying Social Security taxes?") and the entire concept of cooperative public goods disintegrates

It's a great way to split the welfare coalition and undermine social solidarity The really difficult thing is you can't exactly let the boomers off the hook for it either
