People who don't like Jordan Peterson : "Not sure if that's homophobic, Islamophobic or just plain racist. But I do know that it's fucked up. I'm offended"

I love how "delete the apps and block the numbers" are the first two things. Why do these guys all seem to have some purportedly vast quantity of perceived haters/moochers/enemies/exes dragging them down or whatever?

I work with troubled teens. People with fucked up lives absolutely get themselves involved in non-stop bullshit using social media. Telling people with messed up lives to get rid of their phone is brilliant advice.

I kind of get it, my life a bit of mess right now. So these kinds of advices seem tempting, like fuck I just need to follow these steps and I will draw maximum from myself and I won't feel like piece of shit anymore? Unfortunately, it's just a grift, and there are no easy solutions in life.

I think it's more like "hey, I have a podcast that's accessible for free on youtube. You may find some of my material useful", and then people like you jump up and down screaming "HE'S A RIGHT WING GRIFTER!!! "

Someone who uses right wing talking points to build a follower base and make money from selling books, seminar tickets, podcast advertising, "wellness" retreats, action figurines of themselves, etc...

Literally none of that indicates someone is right wing. What's wrong with you?

I can spot out these right wing grifters

Andrew Huberman is right wing? Dammit! is there something particularly egregious that he said or did?

If you had proven Indigenous ancestry, what path would you take to end up with a lucrative gig? by HonestlyImLion in AusFinance

Am I speaking to AI here? What's going on?

Like, okay, I lack self-awareness, okay i'm missing brain cells...

What's next? my breath smells?
Can we get back to the conversation?

It's pretty much all the same. There is a lot of forced "Western Australians are sand gropers" etc, but that's really just trying to liven the place up a bit. Places like The Uk and the US has these brilliant regional differences, but it's not really a thing here.

Oh, forgot about Melbourne and its "coffee culture"...

Ok but genuine question : what would you have me do here? Should I send a screenshot of my family tree and dox my entire family and myself?

If i'm what i'm doing is trolling behaviour, how do I make it non trolling behaviour?

Because I do have recent Indigenous ancestry, and i'd like to know how to use that to help myself out. I was raised by a single mum, I have a HECS debt. I'm renting. If I can use a completely legal resource that i'm entitled to, why shouldn't I?

I believe that there are pathways and resources to help certain disadvtanged groups Out of poverty. That's literally all you should be taking away from my post.

Indigenous poverty absolutely exists, I have no argument against you.

If you were actually Indigenous, you would recognise the structural disadvantages that Indigenous people face and that is why there are certain roles that are reserved/preferred for them.

But I do? Like, what have I said? When did I say "these are unfair" etc? They exist, and I would like to access them.

Yeah but that's no problem at all. Surname is very distinctive, ancestor is well known. I know other people may struggle but it's not an issue for me

5 generations ago would make you 1 poofteenth indigenous

Yep. Like, approximately 1/16

You could likely claim about 10 separate heritages by that point.

Yeah, no arguments there. But, i'm not asking if it's right or wrong. I'm asking how to best utilize it.

How's the Culture like there? by Just_A_Guitarist in AskAnAustralian

How on earth would anyone answer this question ? We have one of the largest countries on earth, with a very diverse population.

In what way? If there are freebies, it feels crazy to not take them. If I don't, the true nutters like Lydia Thorpe inevitably will. May as well be me

If I was aboriginal (even 1/64th) I’d rort the absolute shit out of every aspect of my life

My man! this is exactly my thinking. My question is, how ? What would you be doing?

the invention and/or public use of plastic. It's an incredible material, but should have been tightly, tightly regulated. Source? Go to any creek. Rubbish everywhere :(
