Comment on Some Australians seem more outraged by accusations of racism than by racism itself
Nonameuser678@aussie.zone 9 months agoShit has become so unhinged. This is my first referendum so I’m sure how it compares. But the rhetoric just feels so vicious. The no campaign say the voice is divisive but it’s their campaign that’s divisive. They’re importing some of vilest culture war tactics from the US.
The conservatives have been getting worse over the past say, 10 years, Trump kind of accelerated things and that style of “who cares what the truth is” was exported from the US.
The right wing in general was always going to end up being like this though.

Gay marriage referendum didn't get as vicious as this and that's saying a lot.
