Trump’s Culture Wars

19 September 2025 2 mths

I was watching something about the Chinese cultural revolution the other day and you know what it reminded me of today? Trump’s culture wars in his second administration. The crazy decisions being made around tariffs, DEI, vaccinations, ICE, cancelling green energy projects, the national guard, stifling free speech, and not releasing the Epstein files are all driven by special interest groups. These are not in the economic interest of the country. The immense cost and wastage of many of these executive and illegal presidential actions being challenged in the courts aren’t doing the nation any favours. The destruction unleashed in the Chinese cultural revolution damaged so many lives and set that country back for decades.

Neo-Nazis Demonstrating Outside The NSW Parliament

If you wanted proof that the police services are more aligned with right wing white supremacist movements than other protest groups you only had to watch Neo-Nazis demonstrating outside the NSW Parliament. The NSW police service had no problem with this going ahead. You do not see many non-white faces among police anti-riot units when watching news coverage of protests around the genocide in Gaza. Bashing up brown skinned people and those passionate about defending the rights of innocent women and children in Gaza are, obviously, more in line with the priorities of Australian police. Masked men in black saluting in paramilitary fashion whilst protesting against Jews is more the cup of tea of the upper echelons of the NSW police, it seems.

Liberal Party In Civil War For Control

The Liberal Party of Australia is in a civil war between its moderate side, which seeks to regain relevance within a modern Australia, and the far right faction still in the grip of toxic masculinity. Peter Dutton fell at the last federal election, as leader, rejected by the Australian electorate on all fronts. He had run a campaign and his tenure as opposition leader aggressively, in the mode of former short term PM Tony Abbott. Abbott was still pulling the Liberal Party strings, along with his former chief of staff now over at Sky News Australia. Their conservative brand was Trumpist, via its extreme nature, which was always attacking and polarizing. Liberal Party in civil war for control, who will lead them going forward? Currently, Sussan Ley holds the mantle atop the Liberal Party of Australia.

Are You A Lover Of Aural Pleasure?

Do the dulcet tones of the human voice do it for you? Are you a lover of aural pleasure? The spoken word read well, whilst you drive to work? Listening for both intellectual and sensual gratification? Learning stuff and getting where you are going at the same time? All of these things are possible via audiobooks. For the very first time, sounds of fanfare ladies and gentlemen, my books are available as audiobooks. And they sound pretty darn good, if I do say so myself. Now, you can take the banality out of traffic jams by listening to what I have to say on the really important topics.

Episode 19: Prince Andrew & The P Words - Robert Sudha Hamilton's Podcast

Prince Andrew & The P WordsPlus The Americanization Of AustraliaFor those of us who have long observed the United States it has been apparent that their justice system is heavily tainted by partisanship and the power of the wealthy to avoid it. Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficked young girls for decades to the rich and famous and, yet no client has ever been held accountable for any crime. We are witnessing Prince Andrew getting his knuckles rapped by his royal family for bringing them into disrepute via his behaviour in the Epstein scandal over many years. American billionaires, meanwhile, face no such wrath from the Trump administration. Funny that, perhaps, it has to do with the cosy friendship that Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein enjoyed for 25 years prior to Epstein’s suspicious death in prison. Prince Andrew and the P words that cost him his title. Oh how the mighty have fallen! Perhaps, true justice does come to all in the end? It will be interesting to see if this royal fall from grace will deliver any other Epstein perpetrators to justice. In reality, it has only been British aristocrats to pay any kind of price as yet.
