I am so tired of watching Aussie TV channels. No quality material and full of shitty content. For even news- 9news, 7news, ABC all kept going on about Taylor swift all day. No quality news reporting at all. Thanks to YouTube , my go to channel for news now is DW and France 24. European channels are the best in my opinion.

For the last 500 years, "harmony" meant everyone does things the way white people do it. It meant bringing the monarchy to Australia, binary gender to Thailand, slavery to America, christianity to Colombia, oil rigs to the middle east, and a lot of other bad stuff. I think it was better to have a lot of different consensus realities across the world, instead of one homophobic capitalist christian white supremacist consensus reality.

The modern phenomenon of conspiracy theories and echo chambers is just a symptom of consensus reality breaking down as it fails to meet everyone's needs, and they look elsewhere. It's an unstable, dangerous state, brought on by unstable, dangerous consensus reality. It wouldn't have got this bad if it weren't for the genocide of indigenous realities.
