I hope our politicians note the real-time experiment playing out atm on the proportion of authentic social media traffic, and work together to develop a solution to the hostile interference in our politics that’s more permanent and less dramatic than blowing up data centres.

Maoz Inon's parents were killed in the Hamas attacks of 7 October 2023. Aziz Abu Sarah's brother was killed by injuries from torture he suffered in Israeli custody. Together, they insist that its future can still be peace. Blessed be the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.

‘We need to ask why so many patients have been abandoned, why discredited and dangerous treatments continue to be prescribed and why ignorance and neglect still dominate, in the health system and beyond. In other words, there has seldom been a stronger case for a public inquiry.’ Yes, indeed.

I realise this is late notice, but I’m preaching at Holy Trinity Port Melbourne tomorrow on honest forgiveness from Matthew 18:21–35. Join us at 10 am, 162 Bay Street, Port Melbourne.

12/ Now, if you mean you want Australia to be a place where people can practice their culture provided they hold to some shared Australian values—if you mean we have a dominant but evolving Aussie culture that exists alongside and is enriched by many minority cultures— …

11/ …be abandoned (or all Australians take on a particular Indigenous culture, which I’m sure no-one of any ethnicity or culture is advocating for). Again, if that’s what you want, be honest and say you want Australia with no Indigenous cultures—but that’s definitely not the Australia I want.

Campbell J. Brice ✝️ 🌻 • 🍐 🇺🇦 @incessantbarking.bsky.social · 01/07/2026
10/ While we’re thinking about what a monoculture is, what would we do with the First Peoples’ cultures, which are distinct from those of most Australians? A monocultural Australia necessitates Indigenous cultures…
100
Campbell J. Brice ✝️ 🌻 • 🍐 🇺🇦 @incessantbarking.bsky.social · 01/07/2026
9/ How do we enforce only speaking English? Do we allow people to read British and American literature or only that written by Australians? Likewise for movies, TV shows, music, games, etc. Because that’s what a ‘monoculture’ entails—even a ‘multi-ethnic’ one.
100
Campbell J. Brice ✝️ 🌻 • 🍐 🇺🇦 @incessantbarking.bsky.social · 01/07/2026
8/ So, if you want a monoculture, what cuisine is Australian and you sure that’s all you want to eat? What religion must we all practice or should religions be banned? How will we police only wearing Australian-style clothes and what are these?
100
Campbell J. Brice ✝️ 🌻 • 🍐 🇺🇦 @incessantbarking.bsky.social · 01/07/2026
7/ … it describes one ‘in which people of many ethnicities conform to a single culture’. If that’s what you want, fine. But note that means everyone assimilating into one and only one culture, not just holding some shared values while practicing different cultures.
100
Campbell J. Brice ✝️ 🌻 • 🍐 🇺🇦 @incessantbarking.bsky.social · 01/07/2026
6/ Since culture is (related to but) distinct from values/beliefs, and ethnicity is (related to but) distinct from culture, a ‘multi-ethnic monoculture’ does not describe ‘a society in which people of many ethnicities and cultures coexist with an over-arching national identity with shared values’: …
100
Campbell J. Brice ✝️ 🌻 • 🍐 🇺🇦 @incessantbarking.bsky.social · 01/07/2026
5/ Even religion can and does transcend culture. People of many different ethnicities and cultures are Christian. Islam is likewise not linked to one single ethnicity or culture, but is practiced by people from multiple ones. Culture ≠ values and belief.
100
Campbell J. Brice ✝️ 🌻 • 🍐 🇺🇦 @incessantbarking.bsky.social · 01/07/2026
4/ Further, while culture and values/beliefs are linked, culture is more than those; and values/beliefs transcend culture. So it’s a category error to describe a ‘multi-ethnic’ society with (some) shared values as ‘monocultural’.
100
Campbell J. Brice ✝️ 🌻 • 🍐 🇺🇦 @incessantbarking.bsky.social · 01/07/2026
3/ Likewise, I share culture and values with some people who are of different ethnicity to me—while there are Aussies with whom I share an ethnic heritage who have different culture and values to me. Ethnicity ≠ culture.
100
Campbell J. Brice ✝️ 🌻 • 🍐 🇺🇦 @incessantbarking.bsky.social · 01/07/2026
2/ That said, while the two are closely linked, ethnicity doesn’t equal culture. I’m reminded of the quote by a wealthy Indian who said he had much more in common culturally with wealthy people from other countries than he did with most of his compatriots.

Campbell J. Brice ✝️ 🌻 • 🍐 🇺🇦 @incessantbarking.bsky.social · 01/07/2026
1/ On the multi-ethnic/multiculturalism/monoculturalism debate: No, Australia is not a ‘multi-ethnic monoculture’, and few Australians would like it if it were. Culture is closely linked to ethnicity, so a mutli-ethnic society is almost by definition also multicultural.

9/ The flipside of the scapegoat is the superman, the warrior above morality. This double expression of dehumanisation underlies the hypocrisy and viciousness on display in the US today.

8/ …but as threats to the purity of your idealised identity and the integrity of your community. So dehumanisation runs in both directions giving licence—or even the imperative—to some to be above the law in order to defend the idealised group from those deemed subhuman.

Campbell J. Brice ✝️ 🌻 • 🍐 🇺🇦 @incessantbarking.bsky.social · 26/01/2026
7/ …since it views these people as more human than others or even as more than human. This idolising of the group you belong to (or want to belong to)—seeing your heritage, (sub)culture, and way of life as superior—leads to viewing others as not just lesser humans, …
100
Campbell J. Brice ✝️ 🌻 • 🍐 🇺🇦 @incessantbarking.bsky.social · 26/01/2026
6/ But this dehumanisation runs deeper. Demonisation of others comes from idolising those like you or those you want to be like. Elevating a group, authority, or person as superior to others is also dehumanising…

5/ They forfeit their rights due to their opposition to authority (whereas your opposition to previous/other administrations is protected free speech/action for the same reason: you view those authorities as being in some way illegitimate or acting illegitimately).

4/ You can justify state violence against them because they simply don’t qualify for protection from it due to their politics, identity, or life choices.

Campbell J. Brice ✝️ 🌻 • 🍐 🇺🇦 @incessantbarking.bsky.social · 26/01/2026
3/ Behind these is dehumanisation. This is most obvious in the demonisation of political opponents, protesters, and those deemed not truly American, those not wanted in the US. When you view others as lesser humans, you don’t have to accord them the same human rights you enjoy.
