During the Vietnam war a strategy used to undermine the National Service scheme was to 'file a falsie' (submit an incorrect registration form to block up the bureaucracy).

60 years later, the pro-palestine movement in Queensland is doing something similar, which I dub 'sing a Farnsie'.

Some lunatic just called my phone (strike 1) and left a "voice mail" (strike 2) in which he failed to fully state his business, suggesting I must call him back to get the whole story. Are you out of your damn mind. Furthermore it is the sabbath

Sorry, who is blocking the strait of Hormuz?

What actually is ‘civilisation’? The dark and loaded history behind Trump’s threat against Iran The concept of ‘civilisation’ emerged in the 18th century – and it has been cursed from the very start.

Civilisation’s curse is the monumental presumption of separation, of imagining oneself as different from all others, and privileged by that difference. That privilege has so often been expressed in the disdain for, or fear of, “the barbarians” who must be “civilised”.
