The Idealisation Of The Past Is A Never Land

The Idealisation Of The Past Is A Never Land

You know a lot of the apparent support for One Nation comes from older white Australians. Pauline Hanson and her campaign machine promote the idea that things were better back in the day. This right wing idealisation of the past, of there being some sort of golden age, is nothing new. Fascists in Hitler’s era promoted the concept of the pure German who lived during a bucolic time of yesteryear. Romanticising the past appeals to older folk especially. Contrasting it with the present and focusing on negative stuff like urban crime and demonising special interest groups plays well with this audience. Hitler and the Nazis attacked the immorality of the Weimar Republic, which won them electoral support from conservate Germans. Pauline Hanson attacks Muslims, refugees and immigrants, as all things bad for Australia. The idealisation of the past is a never land, in that it never really existed the way they say it did.

White Supremacist Beliefs & Racism

Whilst watching a documentary about Nazism and fascism in America back in the 1930s, my ears were pricked by the repeated expressions ‘ make America great’ and ‘one nation’! The modern day use of these terms as names and tag lines are by no means accidental. The white supremacist beliefs and racism, which lie at the base of MAGA and One Nation, in the US and Australia respectively, are the foundation of these movements and political parties. If you have read DH Lawrence’s book Kangaroo or seen the movie based upon it, you will know that Australia was not immune from the rise of fascism post WW1.

From Centre Right To Far Right Downunder

From Centre Right To Far Right Downunder

The Liberal Party is badly named in light of what it has turned into of late. There being few liberal minded people left in the party. Newly elected president, former PM Tony Abbott, is Pauline Hanson’s leading cheer leader. Abbot was also the bloke that sold the Port of Darwin to the Chinese. Abbot and his Sky News Australia former chief of staff, Peta Credlin, have taken the Liberal Party from centre Right to far Right downunder, via their influence, in recent times. The un-electability of the Liberal Party, on the basis of this move to the fringe, has cleared the way for One Nation to fill a vacuum. Right wing Aussies require a political vehicle for their zero sum game way of looking at the world. A world of winners and losers, rather than the progressive conception of us all being in this together.

Episode 27: Did Hitler's Small Penis Cost Millions of Lives? - Robert Sudha Hamilton's Podcast

Robert Sudha Hamilton delves into the genome revelations about Adolf Hitler and their ramifications.Scientists have revealed the genome of Adolf Hitler, the most reviled man in modern history. Hitler is likely to have had Kallmann Syndrome, which points to a micro-penis in his pants. It begs the question did Hitler’s small penis cost millions of lives? How so? The association between physical deformities and killers is well established in criminology studies. The burden of not measuring up in that most sensitive of areas would, in all likelihood, spur a lifetime of resentment. All that angry oration, Hitler was famous for, speaks of overcompensation. Whilst the genome of Adolf Hitler provides plenty of valuable data and potentialities it is, of course, only a source of possible outcomes. The historical evidence does seem to fit with the Kallmann Syndrome diagnosis. www.midasword.com.au

Pauline Hanson has spent decades claiming victimhood status for herself and those she supposedly represents. Hanson is now worth millions and boasts backing from billionaires. Her claim to represent the little Aussie battler is a sham
