    PVO puts it well. Giving a shit about things is a curse, one I'd be happy to swap as well.https://twitter.com/vanOnselenP/status/1009718896830496768 …

    Truly, if I didn't care about the diabolical impact reactionaries have on our nation I'd retreat from the public debate and enjoy the privilege of university scholarship & the lifestyle I'm lucky enough to enjoy. But I can't, they are so fundamentally horrible in their aims...

        Yes, that’s why it disappoints me that you had a go in a previous tweet at ppl holding NSW State Gov to account on demolition of heritage buildings in Parra. Lots to care about regards over development and questionable plans Loss of pool for stadium was just the start.

        Yes. Giving a rats a** takes its toll. Vic’s professional firefighters can relate. Smacked from pillar to post and still care and give much more than a rats toss about what we do. On politics I’m lucky to have some sane people like yourself, PVO & a few good others to turn to

        It's easy to fall into the dark trap of nihilism if we see the idea of caring being a " burden" or a "curse" - or we can recognise our advantaged situation delivered to us by our western world's chequered history and feel an obligation to redress the balance for all our sakes.

        but it does make me angry how many here in Oz manange not to - hence we are stuck in the position we are, where the politicians can get away with all this rubbish

        It’s not even possible as a retirement strategy if you’re passionate & committed. I’m tired already from being a SuperAltruist since I was a wee kid
