We interviewed @Bartcelestino , the force behind our new campaigns for @childe_co and @childewilde , and received the most poignant, creative and poetic response that was an absolute pleasure for us to publish. Thank you Bart.
CE: How can Australians change our social acceptance and be more positive in action towards a more inclusive nation in light of Black Lives Matter?
BC: I don't see gender and I definitely don't see race. I only see good people and bad people. The rest is semantics, social manipulation and politics. I have no time for virtue signalling, and I have less time for people who don't educate themselves about fascism or racism. I think putting down your phone and reading some books would help a lot of people get a better perspective of this nation and our place in the world. We all know our history has huge holes in it, and some of it is outright lies, I’m not concerned with correcting old books or old minds. I’m interested in learning from it and making the future a safer and better place than how I found it.
CE: Do you have any thoughts on how we might reduce the rate of men’s suicide in Australia?
BC: Create real opportunities for people to be better people. Give people a sense of purpose and identity. Build community, thats whats fundamentally missing here. We need to support our collective mental health and ultimately our families and our selves.
Stronger regulations around social media, tech and AI companies and what they are responsible for is really appropriate too. These are greedy monopolies run by socio paths.Bartcelestino They are not there to ensure your mental or physical safety.
There is definitely also lack of concern for mental health in rural areas. It’s tough for a lot of people. Really tough and that's because there's no opportunities for new ideas, new careers or education. As long as you've got the majority of our population crammed into a few kilometres of our large cities, living like rats in a cage, we can't correct that problem.
More of this interview to come.
