“The weak should fear the strong” is part pf the era that brought Trump about, where fascist ideas like might makes right were popularised.

One of the people I mentioned was literally protesting the genocide dumb ass. See this is the thing Australians have no clue who any famous or legendary aboriginal people are.
A M Fernando was literally say “these skeletons are all that you’ve left of my people”… And you think learning about that is “forgetting it’s a day of death and suffering”.
Shiiit.

Nah, it’s about getting the sympathetic guilt of white leftists out in one day so they can still feel like good people.
They have to have the day be negative for that.
Celebrate and teach about actual Indigenous figures and history? Nah, you won’t find support for that here.
You’ll find support for reproducing the existing culture. “More of the same” they’ll say whilst claiming to be progressives… Progress to what? They don’t have the slightest clue, and refuse to think about it.

It’s purity tests given out as ideological gatekeeping. Essentially a way to sow division and make the left unpopular.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
They’re bot posts “about aboriginal people”. They’re posts about Australia day.
It should be a say to celebrate indigenous people and history, from Tullamareena for burning down Melbourne jail, to A. M. Fernando for protesting outside Buckingham Palace.
I think Australia Day is used to celebrate the wrong things, and I’ll downvote posts I think do that. That’s my business and you’re not the fucking moral police of me cunt face.
- Comment on no pride in genocide 2 weeks ago:
That’s not the criteria, you’ve modified it, the actual criteria are:
- The statement is made publicly
engages in the conduct intending to either: promote or incite hatred of another person or persons because of their race, colour or national ethnic origin; or disseminate ideas of superiority over or hatred of another person or group of persons because of their race, colour or national ethnic origin
A judge finds it reasonable for a person in Australia of the targeted race, colour or national ethnic origin, to be intimidated or feel threatened by the statement.
What’s more these aren’t legal criteria of arrest, because the racial vilification section DID NOT PASS, these are the internal criteria for ASIO to use when classifying hate groups. They then get tested in a court of law.
Hate Groups then have a right to contest ASIOs determination in the courts.
All the law is saying is that members if a hate group can’t threaten Australians with violence based on their national ethnic origin.
You can say Israelis connected to the bombing of innocence civilians deserve to be beaten and killed. Israel is a nation, not an ethnicity.
The Racial Vilification section didn’t pass, and I’m speaking as an individual so I can’t be charged for what I’ve said.
It’s entirely legal to criticise and even be hateful about Israel on Australia.
- Comment on no pride in genocide 2 weeks ago:
She did no such thing. She didn’t make that determination in the interview.
She said she couldn’t say, and it would depend on the nature of the offense, because the new laws are about racism. Not national politics.
- Comment on New hate laws have passed parliament. What do they actually do? 2 weeks ago:
No, why would they? The new laws are about race, not national politics.
- Comment on no pride in genocide 2 weeks ago:
That is 100% misinformation. It is in now way illegal to criticise Israel in Australia. The courts have in fact already rules that criticism of Israel is not a breach of our racial discrimination act.
I’m so tired of idiots claiming criticism of Israel is now illegal without a subgle clue about what’s in the current laws, or any source/evidence given.

- Comment on The U.S. Deported This Chinese Scientist, in a Decision That Changed World History 4 weeks ago:
The implications of that single deportation are staggering: Dr. Qian returned to China and immediately persuaded Mao Zedong to put him to work building a modern weapons program. By the decade’s end, China tested its first missile. By 1980, it could rain them down on California or Moscow with equal ease. Dr. Qian wasn’t just rightly christened the father of China’s missile and space programs; he set in motion the technological revolution that turned China into a superpower.
The American rightwing is The West’s biggest liability.

- Comment on How often do you change your towels? 1 month ago:
My bathroom faces a very sunny window so heats up every day… I wash myself dry my clean self with the towel, then it dries with the sun.
The result is it doesn’t get particularly dirty or left wet for particularly long.
- Comment on Rob Pike Goes Nuclear over GenAI 1 month ago:
I mean democracy has never been real in The West. It always operates and constrains popular media, and cultural forces to constrain the resistance to Capitalism.
It’s always coopted and cooperative with the forces of wealth and repression. So yeah, yell this shit on social media, maybe one day a diluted form will appear on CNN or NBC, but there’s no way it will go farther than that.
We’re along for the ride, censored, confined, robbed of time, money, power and lifeforce… And only existing to be used in someone else’s dreams of wealth extraction and labour exploitation.
