Authoritarian state characteristics
George Monbiot: *Here are three of the consistent features of
authoritarian states: the extreme persecution of dissent, the use of
para judicial measures to shut down opposition movements, and the
selective application of the law. All three are
already
widely deployed in the UK.*

Subservience-signaling
US progressives have been criticized in recent years for
"virtue-signaling" terminology that they pressure everyone to adopt,
Now magats
have formulated subservience-signaling terminology;
"Gulf
of America" is one example.
Those who don't adopt this terminology are
threatened
with discrimination
by the government or by billionaires.
This term, though of little inherent importance, is the thin edge of
an axe blade that the wrecker
is swinging to cripple the free press.

Conquest of Australia by British colonists
An Australian commission has determined that the conquest of Australia
by British colonists involved
violently
killing around 10.000
aboriginals.
That massive violence was just a part of it. I learned how this
operated from a book called The Other Side of the Frontier, by Henry
Reynolds. Colonists moving into an area occupied the river valleys to
farm them. The local indigenous people still held most of the land,
but they had lost most of the food resources. They could not survive
that way.
I reject the term "first nations" because it is designed to impose an
attitude of reverence which no ethnic group is entitled to. We can
criticize colonialism without ritual bowing to the people who were
colonized.

the increasing concentration of wealth — to tax the rich more —
is mysteriously missing from the list.

Palestinian flags covered in art display
The National Gallery of Australia
covered
up Palestinian flags in
a piece of art on display as part of an exhibit, saying this was
for "security".
It did not try to explain why the goal of "security" justified, or
even suggested, such censorship.
