We would probably had an easier time in #politics if we knew from the start, what we learned from #DavidGraeber in 2019-ish. That the #constructionIndustry is #fascist, and will tend to be riddled with #nazism. If we knew that it would have saved a lot of effort.

We actually like the UK model of National and local government.

In Australia we have three-tiers and the StateGovt between the two other tiers is able to seize all development powers so council just do bin collection and a few other useless things.

As a result StateGovt is the most corrupt. Last we checked they, take heavy "donations" from the #constructionIndustry lobby and #propertyInvestors.

The #stateGovt should be abolished and replaced with more federal representatives.

We have had a similar problem with shonks building #highrise in #Australia. They were cracking up even without an earthquake.

A report on #FourCorners literally called #CrackingUp brought this to the fore.

'Seems to' is the appropriate verbiage.

Australia is dominated by real estate speculators and #constructionIndustry, embedded in govt and #townPlanning via media and #politicalDonations to render our govt fascist, including #universities, which are glorified #propertyDevelopers and #humanTraffickers.

We're led by #environmental vandals seeking out rents from the extreme (6x) amount of money our #CentralBank allowed printed, oft on ill-conceived #infrastructureProjects.

We hashtagged a lot in 2019, but aside from that little else has changed.

The #constructionCartel continues its "#BatshitConstruction", as so eloquently described by the late #DavidGraeber. The intersection between the #constructionIndustry and fascism remains, and is possibly more corrupt today than in 2019.

An utterly depressing read, not the best way to start the new year, but absolutely essential. Makes me sick & disgusted to be part of the #housing and #constructionindustry
Radical change is needed from top to bottom to prioritise quality over ‘as quick and cheap as possible’.

But alas what if the #interests are born out of reason? :P

We are #DavidGraeber enthusiasts, he had some very damning things to say about large parts of the #constructionIndustry before he died.

He identified a direct links to #fascism in the construction industry, which only a person who defends ethics would be able to point out in this era.

The world needs more DavidGraebers.

@amici

The late #DavidGraeber had a thing to say about #propertyDevelopers, and #landSpeculators.

See (his words) #BatshitConstruction.

Most at the top in the #constructionIndustry are by definition, #fascist and #cronyist, and the cronyism trickles down to the workers themselves but they (mostly) don't see the fascism — the melding of govt and big #privateEquity.

They think they're #building communities because that is the #rhetoric of their #CEO and #corporateState masters.

The sordid link between #politicians and #construction and how a #financial #feedbackLoop is generated between the two is an important take-away from the interview.

The #constructionIndustry often depends on a kind of #corruption or #collusion.

It goes back to how #NewYork itself was largely built with #Mafia connections, and their ability to #exploitMigrantLabour. This collision continues into today and is why #democracy in #planning is so important.

Thanks #DavidGraeber, great #interview!
