That’s absolutely it. It’s not just hypocrisy either, scum like that don’t want children to be educated and participate the anti-sex-ed movement.
- Comment on adult porn is gross 2 days ago:
My school did mention that sending nudes are effectively producing and possessing illegal pornography. A few people in the class looked surprised and proceeded to delete pictures they or their partners had sent.

Gotta love the old bus replacement switcharoo.
- Comment on NSW government reaches agreement with rail Union. 92% of workers vote to accept 12% payrise over 3 years. 4 days ago:
Under the agreement workers will get a 12 per cent pay rise over three years plus back pay, they will also see an improvement to their conditions and technological advances.
Important to remember these negotiation aren’t just about the pay.
- Comment on Electric vehicle myths: almost half of Australians wrongly believe EVs are more likely to catch fire, survey shows 1 week ago:
I ask out of ignorance: is there much difference to how quick the ignition tends to be? I’ve seen lithium battery explosions from laptops but fee (non-Hollywood) car explosions.
- Comment on U.K. to Ban Palestine Action Group as Terrorist Organization 2 weeks ago:
Not surprising, but dissapointing. They’ve chosen the side of weapons manufacturing.
- Comment on Exclusive: data reveals pro-Israel bias in ABC coverage since October 7 2 weeks ago:
It’s good to be hesitant about -isms and racism doesn’t explain the whole story (imperialism has economic and therefore political implications) but it’s absolutely an aspect at play.
Growing up, I only really remember SBS talking about the Middle East bombings most years unless something truly exceptional happened. Not to trivialise it in any way, but when the Ukraine invasion happened, the reactions of a lot of Australians around me really showed that wars are far more important when White peoples are involved, despite being on the other side of the world, further away. Barely a peep about New Caledonia or West Papua. And to be fair, when I say “racism” I’m also talking about a casual environment of it, not any conscious discrimination. Most of Colonial Australia has a real and significant social link to Europe and the US, we see it as more relevant to our own situation than South East Asian countries, for example.
But, as you mentioned, there’s also the Islamophobia and overt racism. There’s absolutely an assumption or framing that this is a religious conflict and the evil Muslims want to kill those in the Zionist Regime simply because of “uncivilized” religious differences.

He thought it’d be cool, so he did it.
Don’t get me wrong, they do think it’s funny and laugh about it, but this is not just a prank or joke. It’s intentionally terrorising people who bring cameras to expose their actions. We saw the same targeting of the press during BLM.
- Comment on 9News US Correspondent Lauren Tomasi hit by rubber bullet during Los Angeles protests 4 weeks ago:
So blatant that an aussie satire article called that out.
- Comment on 9News US Correspondent Lauren Tomasi hit by rubber bullet during Los Angeles protests 4 weeks ago:
haha they edited that line out afterwards. I guess someone realised the protesters weren’t shooting rubber bullets.

Oh no no no, they were *checks original copy of the article* “caught in the crossfire”.

Good on you for sharing the wage fund.
- Comment on We are seeing some vote manipulation 5 weeks ago:
What a loser. Great to see this kind of thing gets discovered, it was one of my concerns when joining Lemmy (and one of my motivations for leaving sites like reddit).
- Comment on We are seeing some vote manipulation 5 weeks ago:
I often downvote Hotznplozn’s posts because those posts are exclusively warmongering propaganda. That is literally the only posts they make here, so I’m usually downvoting them whenever they appear here.
I’m surprised my cm0002 votes are so one-sided. I think their drama is weird but I don’t see them much. If they post generic memes a lot they’ll probably get some downvotes when I browse All but I can’t think of any other reason I’d show up there.
- Comment on Australians are choosing foods that contribute to leading causes of disease. Why? 5 weeks ago:
A business would likely retort: “But there’s demand for it!”
That’s also the rationale I’ve heard from cocaine dealers, but at least they had the high ground to say “and I can make sure they get the safer pure stuff”.

Does the name “french fries” get used?

Cheers, much appreciated mate!

Please post a link to the article instead of only posting quotes or sections.
- Comment on Victorian Liberal party prepares proposal to loan former leader John Pesutto enough money to pay the $2.3m in legal costs he owes to Moira Deeming 1 month ago:
Earlier this month, Pesutto was ordered to pay $2.3m of Deeming’s legal costs after it was found he repeatedly defamed Deeming by falsely implying she sympathised with neo-Nazis and white supremacists in December.
Ah, too bad he didn’t call out a proven case like Louise Black.
- Comment on Australian PM Albanese says Israel’s blockade of aid into Gaza is ‘an outrage’ 1 month ago:
Australia makes and exports different things to the USA. For example, there are some parts of their bomber planes that only an Australian factory makes. If we stopped trading it, they couldn’t buy any more of those bombers.
There’s also the impact of solidarity, where if we stop trade, then other countries are more likely to do the same. This effect has happened with previous blockades and with the general sentiment towards the conflict in Western governments, one country takes the first step and others soon follow.
It also means that, as smaller partners stop trade, the US soon becomes a single point of failure, where a port strike or community blockade (as some in the USA have done before) has more direct impact.
- Comment on Rule 34 rule 1 month ago:
Wow, that’s surprising. It’s got less than a dozen users posting cute fox photos. Maybe they’re automatically blocking booru software, since plenty of others have porn.

…that’s not how addition and subtraction works, my friend.

Findafox is a good, work-safe example.
- Comment on Australia has a proud history of standing up against human catastrophe. Gaza should be no exception | Ed Husic 1 month ago:
Yeah, I wasn’t going to say anything but I’m struggling to think of many times we’ve done that, especially as Australia overall (as opposed to some unions).
Maybe there’s fighting Imperial Japan, but Pig Iron Bob was exporting them resources after they were ready committing war crime massacres so I wouldn’t count it.
All that said, there are certainly Australians who do care, and I’m often pleasantly surprised to see people who seem absorbed by their phones or trying to avoid pamphlets double-take when they hear the issue we’re organising for and show interest or at least support.

(If you insist on something more specific to their local conditions, you’ll first need to help end the ongoing genocide to give the people in Palestine a chance to write up such a transition plan. They’re kind of busy right now and the Zionist Regime murdered most of their academics.)
- Comment on Hundreds join Sydney Uni Student General Meeting to reject university's new definition of antisemitism 1 month ago:
I agree, leaving isn’t the best way to protest this problem.
On the other hand, while staff themselves ought not to be blamed on the decisions of admin, we should also acknowledge that for them to do nothing is complicity. By-standing is not neutral behaviour. Some staff at multiple universities (and schools) have been involved in various forms of resistance, from direct physical support, to more passive resistance such as signing open letters and allowing students to make unauthorised announcements after lectures.
