Twitter: Still a sewer, but a nicer sewer
Twitter, now rebranded as X, has improved markedly since Elon Musk purchased the platform for $44 billion. Yes, it remains a fount of abuse, much of it laced with obscenities, but opinions that would formerly have seen posters canned — in other words, conservative ones — are now permitted. Opinions, for instance, like that posted on Saturday by someone who goes by the name of “Marcus”. Having seen idiot Australia schoolchildren chanting ‘Allahu Akbar’ in support of Hamas’ killers and rapists, he put up the commentary below:
The LNP was defeated at the previous election largely on the back of the 18-30-year-old voters. We have more than ever before, yet our children are are more depressed than ever, many having been convinced that they have no future, and the world is a horrible place.
The root cause of all of this is the complete control the extreme left wing has taken over our educational institutions.
I have three children, two still at school and the daily exposure to left wing ideologies would just about have me ready to off myself. End-of-the-world climate change narratives, gender-fluid promotion, anti-white propaganda and, more recently, masculine toxicity narratives ensure our children all leave school as ashamed left wing voters. Children do not have the necessary life experiences to apply critical thinking to offset 12 continuous years of left wing indoctrination.
Every year a new population of voters come of age, the vast majority will vote in line with the social left wing narratives of the day. [The Coalition] is swimming against the current as the Left gets a fresh infusion of indoctrinated voters each year. If Liberal values around families, low taxes, small government, equal opportunity and strong work ethic are to reach the voters of tomorrow, the LNP must address the stranglehold that the Left has on our children and the educational institutions.
As a priority LNP needs to develop new policies that will remove politics from our schools which, at the moment, have simply become machinery of the left.
Almost a year ago, Salvatore Babones urged Quadrant Online readers to join or re-join the Twitter mob and be heard. It seems he had a point. –rf

It is past time, writes William J. Lines in Romancing the Primitive, the latest release from Quadrant Books, to set aside the distorting lens of Rousseauean fantasies:
Millions of Australians now obsess over the idea that race matters above everything and accept racist absurdities: people of Aboriginal descent are inherently wise and good-natured as well as naturally expert custodians and conservators of the land, while people of non-Aboriginal descent are, by nature and in contrast, alienated and unconnected.
Every day, millions of people take part in cult practices that divide the world into indigenous and non-indigenous, believing a farrago of New Age Aboriginal spirituality proclaims the one true path to moral improvement.
Romancing the Primitive defends science against superstition and liberalism against thralldom, seeking to reinstate genuine intellectual inquiry and discovery and build debate on real information.
