This is not a popular opinion, but I have come to believe that social movements do not ultimately bring systematic change. Not be a contrarian, but I think it takes the right individual that sparks the final measure that brings about real, fundamental change. Let me give some examples.

Martin Luther King, Jr. I know he didn't do it on his own, but he was a singular force, and that is authentic.

From fiction:

Gabriel Bell from the famous Star Trek: DS9 two-parter, "Past Tense" and the Bell Riots. Yes, he also very much did not do it on his own, but he was a force to be reckoned with.

John Sheridan from Babylon 5. He also did not do it on his own, he had both an immediate crew and an extended crew, but he was hands on and even died only to come back and finish the job. He ultimately made the decisions that changed history.

I know how generic I sound. I know I seem like I lack faith in the collective. Well, having lived with severe disability for 27 years, yes, I do lack faith in people at large. I know what you are willing to do to me when no one else is watching. I know it takes a single soul, the right person who possesses the qualities that the collective claims to be in favor of, but they are never actually capable of those moral values, not personally, they are not. It will take one leader to bring change. The group cannot do it.

To those that say they approve of DOGE's cost cutting and making government more efficient, I say Musk, Trump and his oligarchs don't give a damn about government efficiency. This is all a smoke-screen to purge government employees that are not MAGA loyalists and could be a barrier to their installing a Dictatorship and corrupt Soviet style oligarchy. They have already fired IG's, prosecutors and agency heads that pose a threat to their corruption and authoritarianism. It's all in Project 25 and they are systematically executing the plan.

Next steps! Please consider getting involved in tenants/workers unions and in community groups, especially if you're also a young person.

Change is about more than voting once every 5 years; it is something we must all collectively fight for day-to-day!

I speculate that is the most kink. Men spanking women works for a lot of people who reject the socially attitudes that are prevalent in the rest of the kink community.

At I don't do politics. It doesn't come up.

But I did just make a wretched discovery. One of the spanking blogs that's been on my blogroll for many years turned foaming racist when I wasn't looking. Somebody caught the brain rot. And I was slow to notice/delete. I'm so sorry.

Partying like it's 2006 on Twitter, here's my #introduction post:

Terminally online ex-pat #Tasmanian with a head removal scar to prove it. I've lived and travelled in a bunch of places.

I live with my partner and BIL (a person with disabilities)in the bush in Djiringanj Yuin country and run a B&B in the mountains of the Bega Valley (rocklily.com.au/) in a place called Brogo (NSW, Australia).We're 25km from the nearest town (Bega) living on 100 acres of primarily remnant endangered forest (environment.nsw.gov.au/threate).

I also work on a large #dairy #farm (1800 acres/728ha) where we run between 800 and 1000 cattle supplying to the Bega Group.

I've spent the past 20 years as a service designer (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service_) with expertise in #government and the #publicsector, #userexperience, #servicedesign, #orgdesign, #opengovernment, communications, #innovation, designful #leadership, and organisational #culture. I'm mostly retired (but hire me, I'm good) from client work.

You'll see posts from me about #bushlife, our journey to #offgrid, #conservation, #biodiversity, #homesteading, and ethical feral species #hunting, the #outdoors, #sustainability, #righttorepair and #handyperson things, and #RFS volunteer firefighting.

I'm into #archery, being a husband, dad, and carer, #gaming (console #PS5, #RPG, #ttrpg, #boardgames), and #progressive and #Green politics, particularly #auspol. I'm a fan of many sports, with a competitive background in #gymnastics (coaching), traditional #taekwondo (practitioner and instructor), and #powerlifting (elite masters competitor). I support the #Brumbies in Super Rugby, #Vikings in the NFL, and #FCStPauli in football.
