In activist culture, what we used to call ‘the public’ is long since destroyed, replaced by a continuous shift in what’s ‘trending’ on social media, where we now live. A more accurate name for activists is gangs, it’s what they literally are, a series of gangs at war with each other. More kidult society, emulating the playground. For every public issue today, trace the origin first to activists who got the issue to trend, and from there find out who funds them. Like the anti-wind farm loons, many are rusted-on Nationals voters who Barnaby Joyce whipped into a frenzy before the last election. Why did he do that? Because his party was on the nose with rural voters, for being useless. And also because the party is now reliant upon big donors like Gina Reinhardt, who despises renewables. They’re winning because they claim they’re the ‘community’ objecting to wind farms. They’re nothing of the sort. They’re activists, gangs, making lots of noise to create the illusion of community reaction. We polled the entire community recently, at an election. They overwhelmingly rejected these gangs. Now governments are falling for it, calling for more ‘community consultation’. Activists love consultation, they hijack and bomb it with propaganda and abuse, it’s one of the ways they recruit.
