Contrary to popular belief, Donald Trump was not elected because all Americans are evil. Trump’s rise to power was delivered via a red carpet laid by fake left and right politics in Washington.
In particular, the terrible failures of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton as they betrayed American workers in globalised culture wars.
These failures included scandalous public support for Wall Street treason post-GFC. The refusal to confront Chinese economic aggression. And, open borders policies that enabled economic migrants to crush wages.
The facts of this fake left-class war delivered Donald Trump the White House, not populism. Put another way, Americans wanted their government to put them first.
It worked. The Trump grenade thrown at the fake left shocked the Democrats awake. They pivoted back to fighting the class war that is the foundation of worker politics. When that became obvious, American industrial towns re-erected their Blue Wall and through Trump out.
Australia is yet to have its Trump moment, but it is coming.
Its first victim will be the Voice.
What is a worthwhile reform will fail because it is being prosecuted by an unreconstructed fake left government that despises workers.
The same fake left will descend into histrionics and label the Voice failure racist. But it is not. It is the righteous indignation of workers betrayed by a fake left government using Voice as a distraction from the destruction of living standards:
This betrayal is everywhere. Albo doesn’t bother to hide if. He believes in it. Energy shocks as a favour to war-profiteering cartels. Industrial relations ‘reforms’ as weak as piss. Immense tax cuts for the rich. Cozying up to China on behalf of corporate traitors.
The apogee of the class war treachery is Albo’s extreme quantitative peopling which is smashing wages, delivering a housing shock, crush-loading public services and destroying the environment.
The footsoldiers of Albo’s class war are not workers; they are CEOs. From the AFR:
Slashing investment-destroying red tape, attracting the best and brightest foreign workers, and reforming the tax and industrial relations systems are they key to avoiding a multi-decade growth slump, leading chief executives say.
Announcing a $2.7 billion interim net profit on Tuesday, Woodside boss Meg O’Neill said one of the things that stood out in Australia was how green and red tape were frustrating the oil and gas producer’s ability to invest.
BHP chief executive Mike Henry said the nation faced growth challenges and the resources sector had a big role to play in the economy over the coming decades.
Coles Group chief executive Leah Weckert said she was firmly focused on increasing productivity at the supermarket chain, which revealed a $1.1 billion after-tax net profit on Tuesday thanks to a 5.2 per cent increase in revenues in the 12 months to June.
While the Intergenerational Report assumes net overseas migration will remain unchanged for decades at 235,000 people per year, Alumina managing director Mike Ferraro said the federal government could always increase that intake if it had concerns over low growth.
…Julian Biggins, joint chief executive of MA Financial Group, said…capital and resources are becoming more constrained. To outperform these forecasts, Australia needs to make sure it keeps its borders open to enable the immigration of talent, continue to attract global capital, and support research and the development of technology to ensure we remain the lucky country,” Mr Biggins said.
These people wouldn’t know productivity reform if it ran them down in a bus.
- Meg O’Neill is the most egregious monopolist in east coast energy markets. Her gas gouging is hollowing out industry at record speed, as well as driving input costs mad for every business and household. To describe this as disproductive really doesn’t say it.
- BHP is on the conveyor belt to hell as China’s growth period ends. Mike Henry and BHP will shrink from sight over the next decade as no productivity drive of any magnitude can save it from $20 iron ore.
- Leah Weckert and Mike Ferraro are neither demographers nor economists. They are rent-seekers and should never have made it into print.
- Julian Boggins is talking about some other nations’ immigration programs. Australia imports education frauds to drive for Uber.
More warm bodies will deliver more GDP. That’s what this is about. Not productivity via reform to lift broad living standards. But force-grown GDP via jamming imported and extant Australians into battery living.
It is growth delivered for billionaires and migrants that hands the overwhelming majority of Australians the opposite. Workers are an externality stuck with squashed wages, fistfights for a hospital bed, sardine-packed classrooms to retard their kids and ready them for life in the highrise slums of a Blade Runner set.
It is cheered on by an unholy alliance of fake left and fake right – AlboGreens and CEOs – united in an ideological pact of psychopathic gaslighting unseen in modern Australian history.
This is the red carpet to power for the Australian Trump. A leader bold enough to throw truth bombs that unravel the fake left and right to restore class politics to Australia.
Earth to Dutton.
