Have a look around at the world we currently live in. Everything is becoming or has already become unaffordable for many. Food, rents, mortgage payments, and all those endless fees…

Episode 12: The Politics of Grievance - Robert Sudha Hamilton's Podcast

America is the great democratic experiment. Although, this is getting on for some 250 years now. This nation is in the grip of the politics of grievance. Partisan politics in America is more about hating the other side than particularly loving the side you are voting for. Americans have been encouraged to focus their attention upon their grievances via decades of negative campaigning and attack ads. Demonizing ‘the other’ is the favoured political pastime in the 21C. Identity politics and social values are the main game these days. Economic issues are now seen through this ideological filter.Murdoch, Fox & Stirring Grievance In AmericaRupert Murdoch and his Fox News are merchants of toxic polarization. This network is spewing out lies and fake news 24/7. Every presentation is top heavy in anti-woke content and a right wing bias. Regular viewers are sucked into a spin cycle of libertarian anti-government GOP grievance stoking. Old white men upset at their changing worlds, where heaven forbid minorities are now getting a say. OMG the sky is going to fall in. In this partisan realm complaints about there being too many coloured faces on TV and LGBTQIA folk making too much noise are legion. Uppity women talking about sexual harassment and such like make their viewer’s blood boil – which is the whole idea for Fox. Getting their audience riled up keeps eyeballs on them and advertising rates going up for their revenue.Popularizing Poisonous Issues For Political GainThe politics of grievance is all about popularizing these causes for the benefit of candidates and the party. The party promoting these grievances doesn’t need positive policies. They just bang on about how the other side is to blame for the problem.

Imagine reading something that was crystal clear and that made sense. Well, the hallmarks of my writing contain such qualities. Whatever the topic I endeavour to communicate the essentials clearly and without too much fluff. Reading should be a joy and discovering new important stuff an inspirational process. Come to the promised land with me my friend and learn about things that can change your life for the better. We have the brain power to absorb powerful knowledge, so let’s not waste it. The end of the road will be here sooner than you think and nobody wants regrets.

Is the dental profession a bit like the club golf professional in that fixing teeth and teaching the golf swing are both never ending stories?

The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) does not want to lower interest rates. Their track record is going late and then, going too hard for too long. It is the way they like to do things; it seems.
