Fascism is capitalism plus murder

Upton Sinclair

They’re not Nazis. They’re not 'Activists'. Still less are they 'Patriots'. They’re basically a pack of fat, white, bogan, sub-IQ males desperate for a root and entirely unaware that they are not exactly an attractive proposition.

In the long run, for Australia, the muppet masters like Alan Jones, Ray Hadley, Andrew Bolt and other idiots on Sky News have been of benefit, in that they have now driven the Coalition government so far down the rabbit-hole of right-wing nut-jobbery, that initially they will be unelectable and will eventually disappear, and Australia will finally be able to enter the 21st century.

Blot Report

A handout to the rich is called an 'incentive' but an incentive to the poor is called a 'handout'.

James Melville

Half of the American people have never read a newspaper. Half never voted for President. One hopes it is the same half.

Gore Vidal

A country where the media attack the opposition rather than the government is a country where freedom is under threat.

Peter Hitchens

The whole religious complexion of the modern world is due to the absence from Jerusalem of a lunatic asylum.

Henry Havelock Ellis

If conservatives become convinced that they cannot win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. They will reject democracy.

David Frum

As societies grow decadent, the language grows decadent, too. Words are used to disguise, not to illuminate, action: you liberate a city by destroying it. Words are to confuse, so that at election time people will solemnly vote against their own interests.

Gore Vidal

The worst illiterate is the political illiterate, he doesn’t hear, doesn’t speak, nor participates in the political events. He doesn’t know the cost of life, the price of the bean, of the fish, of the flour, of the rent, of the shoes and of the medicine, all depends on political decisions. The political illiterate is so stupid that he is proud and swells his chest saying that he hates politics. The imbecile doesn’t know that, from his political ignorance is born the prostitute, the abandoned child, and the worst thieves of all, the bad politician, corrupted and flunky of the national and multinational companies.

Bertolt Brecht
