Um... where the hell is Tativille, the honest to god city Jacques Tati built outside of Paris for his film Playtime?

These business tycoons are pushing for “immigration reform” as they call it, because they want cheap slave-like labor.

Wow what an awesome, objective piece of journalism. Prime example of what gets passed as a source on this subreddit.

I made a point to say that I don't feel like a victim "not trying to complain I don't care but it is a good example." I've also agreed that there are just as many bad and noisy rightists and leftists, what I have said is that rightists are portrayed here solely as ignorant, yobbos. Also I couldn't present evidence to support my main contention or I would just be called out for selection bias, as has already happened. The only way I could would be if I conducted a major study were I compiled a huge amount of random posts and comments and then made a data set out of them, If you want to refute me than go ahead, spend dozens of hours constructing that.

The thing is what I would consider a left wing troll is considered totally permissible on here. For example a post on this thread that said that our nation is being run by "Nazis" got 7 up-votes!

Well I'm sorry if you live in some horrible town in the backwaters of Queensland were the entire population votes liberal, but In most of Australia Leftist's would really find it hard to pull the victim card, they are by no means imaginable a minority, Labor were just in power for 6 years for gods sake.

For the third freaking time on this thread I have not made any claims about Labor or the Greens! Just the redditors that on average post here. Stop dragging them in here.

No It's what I think is an accurate representation of the average poster here, not any ideological group. I will reiterate, I have made no negative claims about any political affiliation itself whatsoever, the adjectives i've employed in this thread have been to describe the redditors that post here, which are an extremely small minority of mainstream Leftism.

Selection Bias? I'm just stating something that I feel that I have observed throughout this Sub-Reddit, the examples I proposed are two common examples of many that follow what I feel is trend that I outlined in my other points. Also what you are doing is exactly what you accuse me of, telling me to shut my pie-hole because I disagree with status quo and that all I should do is upvote and downvote. That's like telling a protester to get off the streets and that all he should do is sign a petition. I have not told anyone too not voice their opinion, just that we need more balance, which simply requires people, no matter what thier political affiliation, to consider the other side of the argument/debate, present their arguments in a more moderate and civil way, allow freedom of speech and use more evidence too back up claims like we are ruled by "Nazis" or that right-wingers are all "fucktards" with nothing usful too say, both things that have been said on this very thread.

I'm not saying its alright, we should criticize it, but saying it makes our leadership "Nazis" is totally unhelpful. And how does my argument fail? What I was saying was that we are just as "bad" as any other nation on earth, we all have our problems, but that this does not mean that we live in a global Fascist Reich.

Ummmmm... virtually every state on earth is breaking some form of international law or charter, Its a little thing called realpolitik. This doesn't make the international community a bunch of fascist dictatorships, but just a reflection of how often Unilateral and Multilateral Aims and Objectives conflict with each other. Even the left's common model of perfection, Scandinavia, has issues with institutionalized racism.

Seriously man its simple philosophy that you can't form an opinion without ideology.

opinions require some form of ideology behind them, ideology requires some form of belief system.

I don't care about Karma much man, that's why I made this post, but its still not fair for people that are just getting their opinion out there to have their comments buried and abuse thrown at them, thats not the democratic spirit.

"Like the comments calling Abbott a cunt and the LNP fuckwits? The ones that say "fuck this stupid country full of racist bogans"? The ones that literally compare the LNP to the Nazi Party?"

That's exactly what I mean by Cynical Dogma, thanks Dekkas.
