“A video shared thousands of times on a Chinese (#CCP) #SocialMedia platform claiming a re-elected #Albanese government would adopt “the far-left agenda” of the #Greens and potentially seize vacant homes was created by a member of a #WeChat group campaigning for the Liberal party in a marginal Melbourne seat.

The six-minute video, narrated by a woman who refers to herself as #AuntieGuoer, also claims any minority Albanese government that might rely on the Greens would “crackdown on the #MiddleClass” and lead to the #decline of “traditional #SocialStructures”.”

I see this is happening in the seat of #Aston and past Liberal seat of a political favourite of mine, #TudgyFudge 🤪🤣☺️ Given the subject matter I’d lay a bet this is the work of ex AFP Officer, #SandraBourke and #MatthewSheahan who now has removed all biographic links. Why?

"The stable middle ground of tech employment - the middle-class engineer - is disappearing. Builders who can code now ship entire products in days using AI. A single developer can now accomplish what once required an entire team. Companies are focusing on engineers who can demonstrate they can do the job of multiple engineers. The biggest losers in this shift may be the fresh graduates looking to enter the industry - recent graduates now have to be better than people already working."

We can't know the future & so many are struggling in this world

Those who help most struggle most

Those who help least struggle least

The #middleclass produces despots by giving of themselves more to support #capitalism & #fascism, than ever to help those in #poverty

There's this state of #apathy & #complacency, built on fear, that keeps lined the pockets of those at upper echelons of #society

Like keeping those in power appeased, that they too aren't left with nothing

Trump’s #attack on the #federal #workforce is an attack on the Black #middleclass. Center for American Progress - “the federal government has hired Black Americans at higher rates than the private sector going back a century or more.” Federal workforce, though far from majority #Black, is disproportionately Black. Any policy aimed at firing federal workers en masse would still #disproportionately hurt Black people. This is not a bug in Trump’s program. It is a feature. msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinio

“Yet although an extreme and frequently internalized understanding of masculinity lay at the heart of Nazism, the spectrum of perpetrators ranged far beyond the power-crazed, the authoritarian and the brutal. Most Germans who belonged to the educated middle classes, the so-called Bildungsbürgertum, comprising people with university degrees and professional status, welcomed the coming of the Third Reich and collaborated with the Nazi regime to the end."
