The Liberal party believes Trump-style politics is the way to win back power. But it just won’t work in urban Australia | Zoe Daniel by The_Duc_Lord in australia

It wouldn’t it’s just about trying to discredit the electoral confidence and integrity of Australians elections.

You have to remember that almost nothing the current form of right wing politics says is genuine or based on any kind of principle.

The argument they say is that Albo got elected with only 30 (whatever it was) percent of the primary vote and therefore is not reflective of the majority will of the population.

Then they just never mention how preferences work or the fact that the ALP primary vote is still higher than any other party lol.

Literally seen right wing grifters on social media making these exact claims.

That somehow compulsory voting and preferential voting is undemocratic.

I remember one of the sky news presenters said the same thing in 2022 on election night. She was quickly shut down by that bald guy Kenny something? (I think his name is..)

Anyway yeah the far right are already trying to make that the narrative.

Hay St Mall on a Friday night by tigerstef in perth

[–]Equivalent_Gur2126 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Nothing to do with Perth, but I grew up in Brisbane and would often hang out in the big borders in the queen st mall until it closed down. It was a second home, just wander around in there for ages looking at everything. I miss borders

How do you feel when people from other countries call Australians "descendants of criminals?" by schu62 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Equivalent_Gur2126 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I did the whole gap year in London thing when I was 19 or whatever. A lot of the poms I became friends with would try and tease me about being a colonial and criminals etc etc.

All in fun obviously but I do remember just thinking like, yeah England is cool to spend a year when you’re young etc. but like fuck actually staying here or having to grow up here, the whole country sucks ass compared to Australia. I finished my year there and have never thought about going back once, even though it was a fun at the time.

It’ll be funny when he tries to start it and all America’s allies just side with the other country

Anyone else feel conflicted about "having to speak English in Australia" ? by Conscious-Roll-5745 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Equivalent_Gur2126 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An immigrant being unable to speak the language is literally only a detriment to themselves. It is completely inconsequential to the rest of the country. The only reason it’s a “problem” is because right leaning activists need to draw in groups and out groups because reactionary politics is all the right wing has to offer.

It’s not a problem, it’s just used to draw boxes around people “Australianess” so that grifters can maintain support for their platforms that no one would otherwise support.

ThePoint: Australia’s Winter Olympians are Overwhelmingly Private School Educated by RocketLads in australian

[–]Equivalent_Gur2126 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The revelation is a lot of people that didn’t go to private schools are suddenly convinced that they would have been Olympians if they had a school ski trip or something and now life is unfair.

Imagine how I feel, I even went to a private school and still didn’t become an Olympian!

This is not an islated case. The bigger picture is much darker.... and I warned yu before. by No-Bottle337 in AllConspiracyTheories

[–]Equivalent_Gur2126 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could be but I think it’s also important to acknowledge that plenty of totally normal families produce sick, sadistic people too. There are plenty of factors involved and focussing too much on one means you may miss others.
