In 1930s Germany, the Nazis consolidated power by "Gleichschaltung": ensuring that the public's perception of reality did not conflict with Nazi ideology.

David Milner @DaveMilbo Imagine a political ideology so evil, so despised, so racist and murderous, so globally unpopular - but also so entrenched in Western establishment depravity - that your government (with the opposition), would seek to make criticism and protest of it illegal. Imagine that. 8:48 AM · Jan 15, 2026 · 3,953 Views

Imagine somebody started an Australian anti-zionist party. Who would join? How would it poll?

‪David Milner‬ ‪@davemilbo.bsky.social‬ · 1h If Greens support this fascistic bill and enshrine Zionist capture, it will destroy them. Your voters will see sellouts and cowards caving on our liberties because you're not up for the fight. Because you're scared of getting yelled at in the newspapers. @davidshoebridge.bsky.social

"A Writers' Week..." In a bookstore, Louise Adler walks past shelving signposted "HARDCOVER". The shelves are empty, except for a book titled "Wilcox". She swings a singlet bag with a 'W W' logo. Peter Malinauskas stands in front of shelving signposted "SPINELESS", giving Louise a startled look. He has his hand on a magazine titled "Footy ...". On the top shelf is a magazine with the face of Tony Abbott and a green bag labelled "GINA COMLETE WORKS". Other works on those shelves are titled "Onion Anthology; Abbott", "Bob Carr", "Australian", "Sky; Saturday Paper' and "Mud". On the bottom shelf are what appears to be copies of "The Australian", with a front page story about Bondi.

Letter in The Australian, January 13, 2026 It's clearly Louise Adler who has wounded Adelaide Writers' Week - not the board, nor the South Australian government. Three years ago, to the week, The Australian published my letter to the editor, calling for Adler's resignation - but for writers to stay. Back then, she programmed eight pro-Palestinian activists, with zero alternative voices. One, Mohammed El-Kurd, compared Israel to Nazis and defended someone who tweeted that she wanted "to kill every mothett.king Zionist", "curse the Jews", and who supported Hamas. Others weren't far behind. Adler well knew that including Randa Abdel-Fattah ("if you are a Zionist you have no claim or right to cultural safety") would endanger the institution. But it mattered nil to her - her obsessive cause is more important to her than our precious 66-year-old writers' festival. Morry Schwartz, publisher, Collingwood, Vic

@DropBear @palestine@lemmy.ml @palestine@fedibird.com They recently sold the 7am podcast, do that's safe at least.

@wildwoila
Yeah. That article is a couple of years old.

The podcast was sold to a South Australian outfit, about which I know nothing. Here's hoping.
