- Comment on Is it just me or the food shows like Man v Food or Everything on The Menu or hot dog eating contests annoy anyone else knowing the fact people are starving in the states and world wide? 1 week ago:
Also not true, people are starving largely due to logistics.
Moving a lot of food costs a lot of money and when you’re already giving it away for free the cost of transportation is ruinous.
No farmer wants to let the food they produce rot but none of them can afford to send it where it’s needed most.

Sure thing bud
The lies start early and fast.
@2:35 Claims that ‘blue’ areas have high crime: false www.dw.com/en/…/a-73855054
The data and long-term research do not support the claim that Democrat-led cities are inherently more dangerous. Crime rates are influenced by a complex mix of socioeconomic, geographic, and cultural factors — not by a mayor’s political affiliation.
Despite declining crime rates, public perception often suggests the opposite. The Pew Research Center found that many Americans believe crime is rising — even when data show otherwise.
Between 1993 and 2022, violent crime in the US fell by 49%, including: Robbery: -74%, Aggravated Assault: -39%, and Murder/Non-negligent Manslaughter: -34%
Some rambling about Caesar. Completely irrelevant, followed by saying that ‘some’ slavery abolishionists were extremists. Great look showing off some white supremacists.
Then Scott Atlas goes on to claim that the left are the ones pushing violent rhetoric in the media, I could point to any day on Fox news or hundreds of comments by Trump to refute this easily.
Oh look someone else has done it already: www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/…/680403/
That’s enough wasting my time, its just two liars setting up questions for a gish gallop that will be lapped up by people incapable of critical thought.
Oh and for the record, defending slavery is political violence, and should be met with force at every opportunity.

While the pillion should know better it’s the riders choice to have them on the bike. I would hand over my own gear before putting someone else at risk like that.

The sheer disregard for the pillions safety speaks volumes about that motorcyclist.
- Comment on Migrant arrested over sexual assault of girl was on deportation list 2 weeks ago:
I figured it might be hate for the Daily Mail but you might be right, if it conflicts with people’s world view or political agenda they might downvote.
I wonder what those people would say to the 10 year old girl who was sexually assaulted. Like
I support women and am against sexual violence but what happened to you is really inconvenient so I tried to bury it
- Comment on Migrant arrested over sexual assault of girl was on deportation list 2 weeks ago:
I’m curious why this is attracting downvotes.
- Comment on Sad but true 2 weeks ago:
Some people are genuinely so ugly that this doesn’t even begin to solve the problem.
Like it helps them not look homeless, and it helps if they don’t smell, but some people really do just lose out on looks.
- Comment on Group with machetes attack teenagers near Melbourne's Luna Park 3 weeks ago:
If police are seeking information surely including some description of the alleged offenders would help, not everyone who saw them would necessarily realise it, assuming they weren’t brandishing the machetes the whole time.

I went with the auto recommended title and provided part of the brief summary at the top of the article, it’s not too long a read, and the related articles should be linked on the left sidebar on the abc site.

VIC police have the resources to respond faster and with force.

VIC police need to shoot a few of these fucks and put an end to this nonsense.

- Comment on Why fascism? 1 month ago:
Many people fail to grasp this, fascism is the mutual merger of state and corporate power.
Both work to enhance the control the other exerts in specific areas, such as corporate capture of regulatory bodies, and state capture of media.
Fearful idiots are easily duped by the state and media into ‘othering’ a group of people.
Claims that the ‘other’ group are weaklings eroding the country but powerful enough to be running some kind of shadow government are common in fascism.
This gives more ‘reason’ for the fearful idiots to push their ‘saviour’ figure into the role of dictator.

They fought a war against an opposing army, not by assassinating people exercising their right to discuss opinions and ideas
Of course it’s morally superior to kill a conscript (the British army was largely comprised of conscripts) than it is to kill a propagandist who advocates for political violence. /s
In fact they fought FOR the right to have opinions and ideas and to express them.
Utter rubbish. The war was instigated over matters of taxation and trade.
They thought it was so important to protect that right, that they put it into the bill of rights
It was so important that it was left out of the Constitution and had to be submitted as a bill to amend the Constitution.
Hardly sounds like the defining cause of the rebellion if they forgot to put it in their foundational document the first time around.

What’s wrong with the example? The revolutionaries killed until they were able to establish a democracy, directly refuting your claim.
- Comment on Too soon? 1 month ago:
You claimed it is impossible to murder your way into democracy, I gave you an example of people murdering their way into democracy.
Shifting the goalposts to be about ‘muh freeze peaches’ is weak.

I have never seen a person get shot in person (I’ve seen those videos too) but I have hunted pigs and kangaroos, bullet wounds really aren’t portrayed well in media.
What’s funny to me is that American conservatives will argue that you can’t have guns in Australia. You can. We have guns and… no school shootings. No politicians being assassinated.
Charlie Kirk spouted all kinds of bullshit about my country. I’m very happy he won’t be doing that anymore.
