  On Sydney, and regarding the estimates. We had to wait an hour since the marching started before where we stood even started moving. I too couldn’t see the start or the end. I don’t now how to measure the size of such a crowd, but 90k has to be an underestimation. The SCG has a capacity of 48k people, and I am familiar with tip-toeing out of that filled stadium. I’ve been to rallies (albeit 20 years ago) where the numbers were in the tens of thousands. All of those crowds felt trivial in comparison to the one at this march. 300k does seem to be a lot closer to the truth.

  Not an expert either but I’ve been to rallies with a conservative estimate of 30k and this was easily several times larger from only what could see.

  I think abstract nouns lose their magical abilities to give if you try to define them.

  Anyone who has set foot on a university campus should see this for what it is. You would like to think such a blatant attempt to silence dissent under the banner of antisemitism would hurt their cause.

  When asked how he could admire an airforce general despite being a pacifist, MLK jr responded "I judge people by their own principles – not by my own.” Judge that redditor by the principle of someone whose career is helping children but instead exploits them.

  I agree it doesn’t matter how many children he’s helped. I’ve heard from my Hindu friends that good deeds won’t naturalise bad Karma. Im not religious and don’t believe in karma, but I think this is well grounded. It doesn’t matter how many children he has helped, it doesn’t change the fact that he has damaged so many others for sexual gratification.

  The guys a vile worm, and think you’re right to judge him.
