Whiplash for the Ruling Class with Rob McMullan

<p>Rob McMullan is a Fellow at the Natural Law Institute and part of the Australian Cultural Revival with the Aus Lobby Group. He has spent more than a decade working on Natural Law, an attempt to describe how humans actually behave rather than how ideologies say they should. He is also, somewhat improbably, a flamenco guitarist.</p><p><br></p><p>Rob argues the ground is shifting under Australia. For decades the political class has governed from behind an empathetic facade, &#39;standing up for the little guy&#39; while protecting the banks, treating working Australians like tax cattle and sedating everyone else. Now the incentives have changed. People can only hold the beliefs they can afford, and Australians can no longer afford these ones. The surge behind Pauline Hanson is not an aberration. It is the whiplash.</p><p><br></p><p>We cover masculine and feminine political strategies, why collectives always outcompete individuals, the three incentives every ruling class uses to make people comply, and why Rob believes the &#39;kumbaya&#39; era is ending.</p><p><br></p><p>Rob makes his case for preserving the Australia we grew up in, and we disagree on how much of it is written in our genetics.</p>
