Leak, Son of Leak:

Former ABC journalist Kerry O'Brien rejects Australia Day honour in protest over Margaret Court award (ABC)
A lot to unpack with this one so I'll do a dot point summary:
- Kerry O'Brien is a former ABC veteran journalist and host of their premier current affairs programs.
- Margaret Court, tennis champion, holds the most Grand Slams of any player but after her tennis career she became a Pentecostal minister and in recent decades is most known for her extreme homophobia - Tennis Australia doesn't want anything to do with her.
- This Australia Day she was awarded the highest Australia Day honour available and I'm not going to prefix that with "despite all that" because they knew what they were doing
- Plenty of people have objected, a couple have handed back their prior awards or refused to accept a new one, such as Kerry O'Brien.
- Right wing commentary has been pretty much what you expect, how Court deserves her award, she's entitled to her views, "politics of gender" etc. etc. Again, they knew what they were doing.
- Note that Spooner's cartoon (same paper as Leak, The Australian) about Dan Andrews in Life of Brian ("What has Australia done for us?") is along the same lines, as Andrews also was vocal about how bad it was that Court was getting this award.

Right wing media for the past week or so has been pushing the talking point of "8,000 union jobs lost because of Biden! Think of how bad that will hurt the economy! How are these poor union workers supposed to keep their families fed without jobs?"

Hell, Hannity had a guy on today talking about how he was a union worker for like 50 years and he was ashamed of how he used to be a Democrat, and was going on about how awesome Trump was for union workers and that all the unions should be pro-Republican because it will save their jobs.

So yes, they are trying to use the Keystone pipeline to try and pull labor unions away from Dems.

Even if that were true (it's not) and would remain true if everyone got sick at once (it wouldn't) and there were no long term complications (there are)...

The 9/11 attacks on the United States of America had a 99.999% survivability rate.

My quick searching suggests "totes" is the only 21st century word on that list, all the rest are older than "cutesy".

"Hubby" is the oldest, first recorded 1688.

This is already far more research than was put into the comic. I'm very pro "totes" but hubby is probably the most useful. It's cute and shortens husband down to like 3 phonemes. So no, these words are not fine the way they were!

The underlying principle is just basic social-contract collectivism: Society is built on people compromising their individual needs in favor of a collective good, and it needs to be a voluntary choice motivate by personal investment in living in a functional society rather than coerced by fear of punishment.

As a basic metaphor for virtuous behavior that we should encourage to keep society going, the shopping cart is fine.

But as an illustration of the idea that there's some baseline behavior, or worse, trait that people must do/have in order to be worthy of living in society, it sucks donkey balls. It's call the social contract for a reason; society has its own obligation to support and benefit the people within it if it wants to keep going. Yeah, freeloaders are a problem, but people using the concept of freeloaders as a scapegoat for a failing society is just as, if not more of, a problem. Fascists love that poo poo. Society would be perfect if not for x-group leeching all our resources and giving nothing back.

The shopping cart piece stops just short of that, but considering the total omission of society's reciprocal obligation, and the overall 4chan aggro stink wafting from it, I don't blame your for feeling it's pretty fasc. It certainly sets a foundation for going in that direction.
