All our thoughts are with @helenhainesindi and her family today, in the aftermath of what looks like a deliberate and violent attack. While it’s too soon to know what happened or why, it seems clear to MFW that the way most media in this country have so staunchly promoted, defended or at the very least ignored the despicable ongoing violence and hate applauded or committed by Donald Trump’s goons and followers; the instigators of genocide and war; and the disgusting behaviour of other far-right individuals and entities in recent years must be at least partly responsible for a recent increase in more overt terror-driven and political violence. We beg the Australian media to think more deeply about their refusal to condemn violent politicians and governments and other fascistic deadshits everywhere. If they refuse to, they’re complicit in the rising future threat to many people via their despicable and cowardly silence. We’re so sorry, Helen.
