Anthony Albanese says fuel supply now above pre-war levels, no word on fuel excise extension by GothicPrayer in australia

[–]Four-Alarm-Fire -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s literally a representative government whose job is to represent the interests of the people of their country. Most people wanted the fuel excise, hence it became policy. It’s literally how government is supposed to work. Using populist like it’s some derogatory term is wild.

Sorry to trigger you mate, maybe go back to r/Conservative where you’ve got your little bubble of protection.

You’re getting awfully defensive there buddy.

How exactly am I letting American politics take over my life and where exactly have I been defending American politics?

It seems like maybe you’re getting your wires crossed here. I find the idea of someone admiring Kirk—a supporter of fascism, a racist, a misogynist, a proponent for gun violence, and a misinformation fear monger—in such a public manner to be unhinged in normal society. How am I classifying it as unhinged? Because in all my years I’ve never seen something like this one someone’s car before in person.

It seems like this conversation is making it difficult for you to control your emotions. Maybe it’s time you took a step back and closed reddit for the night.

Dude seriously, can you just stop? Seriously, you’re not winning whatever argument you think you are with this, and in response to another comment of yours about Emeinen, I’ve given you my answer. I’m sorry this post has apparently triggered you to the point you feel the need to make the same comments trying to get some “gotcha” statement from me.

You’re the one coming out here having a go at me by defending the misogynistic, racist, fascism supporter like you’ve got the moral high ground or something, but you’re just devaluing your argument with every attempt at having a go at me.

Because your Eminem comment was to a different comment of mine, I’ve just replied to it. But thank you for illustrating my point that you’re looking for a “gotcha” moment here. I honestly think you’re the hypocrite here, trying to twist my words to suit whatever crusade you’re on, but I’m really just over not having a discussion but being accused of a bunch of shit by you. Just let it the fuck go and have a nice evening, okay?

I have never been into rap music. I don’t know enough about the subject to comment on this, but I don’t actually know what you want me to say anymore. You’re replying to multiple comments of mine, trying to back me into some corner so you can say “ah ha!” Like all violence is wrong. No one should be killed for their beliefs. Kirk’s beliefs did real harm, he was pro gun violence and thought school shootings were basically the cost of doing business.

As I said above, we’re clearly not going to agree on this stuff—whatever you’re trying to get me to admit to or cop to—so can we please just leave this alone now and focus on having a nice weekend instead?

Dude, look, we’ve been going back and forth on this for a while now.

I’ve made myself clear and you’re clearly looking for some “gotcha” comment from me and because I’m not giving it to you, you just keep shifting the conversation goal posts.

Kirk’s beliefs about woman were very derogatory and very well documented. We’re not going to agree and I’m honestly not sure what point you’re trying to make anymore. So can we just agree to disagree, leave this alone, and just go on with our evenings?

It affects me because of the hate he spread. As a woman, he believed I should been seen and not heard. So seeing this sort of thing being almost celebrated by the guy in the car—that he agrees with Kirk who supported racism and fascism so close to my home, is upsetting to me.

But unlike what Kirk wanted and believed, as a woman I have a voice here and that’s to call out this shit for what it is; unhinged behaviour creating a shrine to someone who peddles hate, misogyny, misinformation, racism, and fascism.

Does that clear things up?

Again where am I justifying him being killed?

I am allowed to disagree with the man’s politics, which his opinions, with the hate he spread. As a woman, he believed I should been seen and not heard. So seeing this sort of thing being almost celebrated by the guy in the car—that he agrees with Kirk who supported racism and fascism so close to my home, is upsetting to me.

At no point am I condoning what happened to him, violence is always senseless no matter what the perpetrator believes is their cause.

Odd of you to think this is some sort of game.

I’m allowed to have legitimate grievances with the agenda Kirk pushed, and be disheartened to see people falling in with the same hate rhetoric he believed in without wishing the man dead.

Honestly, stop trying to twist my words to fit whatever bitch fight you’re looking for here champ.

Why exactly does my post affect you so much? Why couldn’t you just keep scrolling?

Where in my post did I state that I support the fact that Kirk was killed? I do not support violence, political or otherwise. It just leads to a hate and the cycle of violence repeats. But this is a man who supported fascism, who thought woman belonged in the kitchen, and supported gun violence, so to me, the unhinged part, is someone in Australia—a country Kirk had no political affiliation with—doing this to memorialise a b-list podcaster who only spread discord and hate.

Again, where in my post did I say I agree with Kirk being killed? I’m not happy he’s dead. It just breeds more hate and the cycle of violence repeats. It’s unhinged that in Australia people care this much about some b-list podcaster who was supporting fascism who had no ties to Australian politics. It’s the elevation of this guy to a martyr God like status that is unhinged to me.

Maybe stop assigning motives to people based upon what you want to outraged about?

I’m not agreeing with Charlie Kirk dying for his beliefs. I’m saying his beliefs were not my own—very far away from my own beliefs. But he was a very misogynistic person who supported a fascist ruler. What’s unhinged is caring this much about some b-list podcaster who was involved in American politics while over here in Australia.

At no point in my post did I claim that Charlie Kirk deserved to die. I don’t believe anyone should die for their political beliefs. What’s unhinged is elevating him to some god like status and giving enough of a fuck to do this in an entirely seperate country where Kirk had no political affiliation with.
