And there goes the chances for a minor incident. I guess I’ll just hope it stays below the level of us getting dragged into another war that we shouldn’t need to be involved in…
I just found out about this via word of mouth (well, via chat groups).
This came about very last minute, I don’t think any one group in particular organised this.
aussie.zone does not seem to be somewhere for organising (communities need to be approved by the admin). Though haven’t actually tried to make a “activism”/“events” community, so it may well be approved.
Else, I’ve just had a bit of a search on quokk.au:
This is not the way to stand up to authoritarianship. Australia has to keep out of this, even thoough it is damaging to do so, it undoubtedly is. There is no clean slate here for Aus. Unless all of south america stand up against US, there is nothing we can do.
This isn’t about standing up for a dictator or not, this is about a few questions. Trump just suggested the following answers.
If a country doesn’t like the leader of another country and how they ruin it, can they intervene? YES.
Does a leader need any sort of approval before they intervene? NO.
What sort of intervention can they do? BOMBING AND KIDNAPPING ARE JUST FINE TO FORCE REGIME CHANGE.
This implications of this internally are big enough within the US, but internationally we are setting precedent for these same answers to be used against any country at any time. What would be different about Russia or China doing the same to any country they disprove of? What’s to stop them from using it as a flimsy excuse for imperialism?

Let the PM and the cabinet know we won’t accept another US imperialist invasion.

Just ignore the far right but jobs here.
Where did you hear about that? Is there a link? I never see any info on planned protests on Lemmy, which is a shame. Is this usually Facebook?
