Rules based order allowed you to live a fairly peaceful life up until now
Doubt
Most of Africa? Theres that racism on display again
Do you know anything about Africa? Maybe pay attention to it for 5 minutes and then tell me how amazing it is, my focus on the Sahel right now which is currently being attacked by
violent islamic jihadistspeople on the dailyOr shall we call them the bad guys, and then we can call the god guys to sort em out like we’re in childs story. Bad guys dobthis, good guys blow em up!
We have done plenty of work in Africa, for example France supporting Mali’s government by killing a group of violent
muslimspeople:How France Fought a Lightning War in Mali (Op Serval)

But as you’d know:
Despite years of French military operations (like Operation Barkhane), jihadist violence persisted and even worsened in some areas. The French-led approach was seen as ineffective in bringing lasting security, fueling public discontent and a loss of trust in France’s ability to stabilise the region.
It’s almost like countries don’t mind when someone comes to help out
- Comment on Explosions heard, low-flying aircraft seen over Venezuela's capital 5 days ago:
we’ll have to agree to disagree
Millions of Venezuelans are happy today and I support them
Hopefully it slowly leads towards them having a country that isn’t broke and corrupt as shit
having watched a few videos on the place in the past it’s probably unlikely though, when you have a shitty culture even if you get invaded it usually returns to the same shitty culture unless you do a full shutdown on it like China in xinjiang on the usual islamic terrorists
I don’t think there are any objective good guys.
Ukraine’s (to my cursory understanding) voting system seems more democratic than what’s taken place in Venezuela (which I don’t have much understanding of), but from what I’ve read there were serious problems with corruption in Ukraine, also. (Prior to the war)
Should watch this:
Winter on Fire: Ukraine’s Fight for Freedom | Full Feature | Netflix
m.youtube.com/watch?v=yzNxLzFfR5w
The people of Ukraine made it abundantly clear they want less corruption and to move towards EU integration
Same for the Iranians they have made it clear as well that they are not happy
- Comment on Explosions heard, low-flying aircraft seen over Venezuela's capital 5 days ago:
The US just made every one of their allies much less safe in this world
Venezuela was not a nice place and definitely not one of the good guys
What stops China from coming and lopping off the Pilbara?
Our alliances and defence capabilities, that’s how it is, that’s how it has always been
that’s the primary reason we’re spending billions on AUKUS and coincidentally Japan wants in as well
japantimes.co.jp/…/japan-role-in-us-uk-australia-…
same with Taiwan, they have the:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_shield
Which they’ve been building for decades
It’s why for years we have been the US’s lapdog going into wars we never would have because we rely on them for protection
It’s why we have spent trillions over the previous decades on defence
This is why when I see things like
m.youtube.com/watch?v=m2GH5A1XDCA
i facepalm, you can’t fend off an invasion with twitter posts
it’s why i want a much much stronger alliance with europe, its why i want a far stronger alliance with ukraine, its why i want us to have drone factories making millions of drones and having the spare capacity to send them to ukraine
This idea of rules based order hasn’t been true for a long time, if ever, there was like most of the 20th century a unique set of circumstances as china was in its century of humiliation
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Century_of_humiliation
and the united states is not nearly as bad as any of the nutter states iran/most of africa/most of middle east if they had the same technological capacity and capability and the UN got to pretend it had power
nothing has changed overall from what i can see in terms of might makes right, just who america is targeting and the fact china is returning to its previous former glory as the worlds super power
- Comment on Explosions heard, low-flying aircraft seen over Venezuela's capital 5 days ago:
ehhh after reading bfmtv.com/…/elles-representaient-96-des-revenus-d… I think you’ve got credence but having thought about it I have to admit deep down it doesn’t really bother me
maybe it’s chopper style morality, the Venezuelan government was evil and awful, if the US takes it out and gets oil for itself so much the better, I hope the Venezuelan people benefit from not being under a dictatorship and it doesn’t turn into a Libyan style hellhole, I know María Corina Machado has been someone I have been cheering for so it does look like there is a credible stable government available:
In 2025, Machado was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize “for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy”.[11]
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/María_Corina_Machado
A bit like if the US invaded North Korea for oil, tbh I wouldn’t be crying for Kim Jong Un or protesting the US, sometimes it is what it is, a bit like Syria having multiple bad guys fighting each other, sometimes there’s no one to cheer for
I want the exact opposite for Ukraine and Greenland and anywhere else that are objectively good guys
hopefully at least by 2027 I can spell Venezuela without needing spell check
- Comment on Explosions heard, low-flying aircraft seen over Venezuela's capital 5 days ago:
I’m not defending the Venezuelan government.
Yes you are, you just apparently don’t seem to realise it
But this 100% a US imperialist war for natural resources. This is their bread and butter
ok straight to conspiracy theories, cool
I’ve had enough left wing conspiracy theories for one day so I’m out
- Comment on Explosions heard, low-flying aircraft seen over Venezuela's capital 5 days ago:
Australia has to keep out of this
I mean it looks like an entirely self contained war between the US and Venezuela that has nothing to do with us but Frog has put:
Let the PM and the cabinet know we won’t accept another US imperialist invasion.
Fuck that, they can invade all the way as far as I’m concerned, you want find me standing up for
The Board alleged that Maduro administration could be responsible thousands of extra-judicial killings, more than 12,000 cases of arbitrary detentions, more than 290 cases of torture, attacks against the judiciary and a humanitarian crisis affecting hundreds of thousands of people.[264]

He is an absolutely vile evil human being, I’ll leave it to you humanitarians to stand up for him

it’s obviously not those, it’s a poll of the general population, the methodology is available and it’s pretty well known most Australians can’t stand tiktok trends, we’re a lot more conservative than you think
if you need more evidence you can easily find it by posting something accurate but not popular and see downvotes come in … like what you posted earlier for example …

Life is not pretty good right now.
I’d say it is for most things
I have solar, a solar battery, and EV, stable employment, great job actually, not being invaded by Russia, Brisbane won like all the local sports tournaments, I have unlimited music on Spotify, AI has been huge for me, I’m getting so much more done, my local cafe makes amazing food, overall my life is no real complaints except
Housing
afaik housing is pretty much the only real negative we have here and it’s been a negative for me since at least 2012 when I was looking at buying a house for the first time
no one really wants to fix it.
I duno about that, outside of climate change I’d say it’s #2 on issues being tackled
Research by Gamlen and his colleague Peter McDonald shows that since around the turn of the century, conservative governments have made universities dependent on international student fees, created the 457 temporary skilled migrant visa, expanded post-study work rights, and signed nearly 70% of Australia’s working holiday migration agreements.
In contrast, Labor’s policies when in power have tended to tighten immigration rules.
When in government, Labor has raised compliance and labour standards on students and skilled workers, cracked down on shonky education providers and visa hopping, and tightened English language tests.
“There is no foundation to claims that Labor has followed a policy of ‘Big Australia’,” they conclude.
In other words, says Gamlen, “it’s the temporary program which creates a lot of the issues that the Coalition are most worried about, and yet they are the party most in favour of the temporary migration”.
theguardian.com/…/do-as-i-say-not-as-i-do-why-lab…
Labor has promised to support the build of 1.2m homes, and 55,000 social and affordable homes, by June 2029.
theguardian.com/…/labor-has-promised-12m-new-home…
I duno if they can build that many homes but tbh I’m not even aware there was a target prior to labor coming in

- Comment on Question: I don't agree with what Pauline Hanson did, but doesn't it kind of challenge the senate's stance on the issue to have reacted the way they did? Imagine if they had shrugged what she did off. 1 month ago:
but in context we must acknowledge that people like Pauline Hanson use anti-Islamic arguments as a proxy for racism against Middle Easterners
Is this what greens voters think? I can’t really attest to that, I get along with heaps of people from the middle east just fine, particularly the ex-muslims, in fact I get along better with ex-muslims than green haired melbournite left wing progressives lol
Islam and other religions
51% of Australians had unfavourable sentiments towards Islam, and only 10% looked upon the religion positively, making Australia more negative than 17 of the other 22 countries surveyed.
In fact, 37% of people said they were “very unfavourable”– the most negative response available. This was far higher than the milder option of “fairly unfavourable” (14%), and made it the single most common response to the religion. 23% of people were neutral.
theguardian.com/…/australians-accepting-of-migran…
Remade the chart using my fancy paint skills as it was red and dark red for favour and unfavourable (whoever made that chart at the guardian was clearly having a bad day)
New poll suggests 49 per cent of Australians back Muslim migrant ban
www.sbs.com.au/news/article/…/ilnh8288n
Australians hate Islam but only in left wing progressive circles is it a touchy racist!!!11 subject along the lines of what is a woman.
