Australia has long maintained separation of church and state, with no established religion. In that context, progressives sense that coercive Christian politics are not a threat here. Question that.
Australia has had its inventive and progressive moments. But right now we are a net importer of political idiocy.
Always thought so.
"In other words, the algorithmic feed can compress years of political hardening into days...What digital platforms have done...is take that ancient impulse and convert it into a technical system... The reptilian brain has become a source of profit in network society."
