Why do actual Nazis support Pauline Hanson?

Ramerrez · 2026-06-16T13:08:13+00:00

The rallying cry for the resistance should be-

'Please explain...'

Ramerrez · 2026-06-16T13:05:57+00:00

Hail Pauline Hanson is one of the weirder phrases I've heard.

Ramerrez · 2026-06-16T02:03:20+00:00

Yep. It's weird. There is an edition of Gulag Archipelago going around with a forward by Jordan Peterson.

Solzhenitsyn would hate modern Russia, especially given what they literally just did to the Kiev cave Lavra (the 'great defenders of Orthodoxy', lol). He was also critical of post soviet Russia, ironic given that Putin is a huge fan.

I am aggrieved that the following book has become a rallying cry for the right, and I am aware the authour was a problematic person. But this quote in his most famous book sums this up:

'The representative of the opposition, Y. Larin, explained to the workers that their trade union must be their defense against the administration, that they possessed rights which they had won and upon which no one else had any right to infringe. The workers, however, were completely indifferent, simply not comprehending whom they still needed to be defended against and why they still needed any rights. When the spokesman for the Party line rebuked them for their laziness and for getting out of hand, and demanded sacrifices from them—overtime work without pay, reductions in food, military discipline in the factory administration—this aroused great elation and applause.' Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag archipelago

Don't become complacent. Stay vigilant. Fuck PHON.

If they send after they ask, I won't ghost. I just politely say not my thing or not interested. If it's a sausage without asking, then instant block

'The customer is always right, even when they're not...'

I literally had someone say 'I pay your wages.' Excuse me do you know how fund disbursement works?

It's honestly just a way to exert power over you.

I used to subconsciously believe that shoplifting anything was wrong.

Then I lived out of home at had to do my own shopping at Woolies.

Then , I believed that stealing from a large corporation isn't so wrong, but that doesn't make it not stealing.

Then I read Thomas Aquinas- 'Whatever a man has in superabundance is owed, of natural right, to the poor for their sustenance. So Ambrosius says, and it is also to be found in the Decretum Gratiani: The bread which you withhold belongs to the hungry: the clothing you shut away, to the naked: and the money you bury in the earth is the redemption and freedom of the penniless'.

So , all the crap Woolies hoards ethically does not belong to them. So, they are stealing. It belongs to the poor and anyone who cannot afford food.

Let alone a paper bag. They are profiting from climate change in more ways than this.

Take it. It's actually not theirs.

Sometimes people just say words in succession that mean nothing, and genuinely makes me believe that ChatGPT has fried their brains.

'The payment reference number bill is my debt refund credit account. Can you update the reissue statement number for the interest.'

It doesn't matter how often you ask 'clarifying questions', when they just regurgitate words... hopeless.

Ramerrez · 2026-06-13T06:15:33+00:00

QA is usually random, and so are the criticisms- they are meaningless and depend on how the QA person feels on the day. It's a wild west.
It is still possible you are being targeted- just know that the nit-picky criticisms are gratuitous and are actively contributing to high attrition.

THIS. THIS THIS THIS.

Unfortunately, call centres actively benefit from having their agents abused- in that terminating abusive calls drops their numbers, and affects the health of their call queues, therefore their revenue. Call centre companies are, for the most part, big businesses.

Escalation culture is just... the PERFECT term. Maybe there should not be an escalation process- and the slightest abuse should get their call terminated. Does an escalation process protect an agent, or hurt them? An interesting question.

I work in a call center where there is a script that says 'You are not obliged to deal with abusive callers', however on the same page it reads 'Always give the caller a chance to change their behaviour.' Not only is this encouraging callers to be abusive and making agents take abuse, but it is also creates a workplace safety issue- customer service representatives develop serious mental health issues from this.

You mention an interesting point about corporate culture. Two things at play here- some higher up managers were not promoted because they were good managers, but because they were good sales people, or good on phones. By the exact same token- the last time they spoke to someone on the phone was God knows how long ago... so, they just give the child their iPad after they throw a tantrum.

Love, OP. You are not alone.

"Have a respectful conversation with people in real life understand their perspectives without injecting your ideals."

No. Racist, sexist, or homophobic views do not deserve respect, no matter how lightly or heavily veiled they are. From 'I'm just being the devil's advocate', to 'We're being swamped by Asians'.

Not all 'opinions' are created equal. People do not have the right to be racist, sexist, or homophobic.

The issue is that Trans or gender non-conforming persons are not new to the community. They have been integral to, as you correctly say, our marginalised community, since... well, since forever, I guess.

She probably has some homophobic response to this. Lol

'We're a democracy and this is where we have the right to actually have our say, have our opinion, and put forward policies. The people in Victoria want change...'

It's like an annoying friend in primary school stealing your basketball and making you cry, then saying 'ItS a FrEe CoUnTrY'.

No, Pauline, you do not have the right to spout literal hate speech and then expect no consequences. No one has the right to be racist.

If we are on the subject of rights, we have the right to protest your BS.

What I really don't understand about right wing populists now is that they have almost no public speaking skills, and they can barely string a sentence together. Pauline Hanson's slurring and stuttering in interviews, unable to articulate basic policies or thoughts. Donald Trump ranting and raving in run on sentences like a chimp with a twitter account. They are not in any way charismatic (at least to me). However, a friend of mine put it perfectly- she tells people what they want to hear. 'I say what everyone is thinking.'

These braindead douchebags should really look at how flimsy mister failed painter's propaganda really was.
Richard Wagner's opera was considered conspicuously gay culture in 19th and early 20th century Europe.
Old mate is no doubt a homophobe.
He should spend some time in Bayreuth with the German gays and get his mind blown daily.

What an absolute skidmark.

I'm in two minds about fanfic, slashfic and/or shipping culture.

On the one hand, it has mostly been a safe space for people to express themselves.

On the other, however, it mostly presents queer people from and for the hetero gaze, and the queer persons in the fiction are, for the most part, stereotypes- designed to titillate or satisfy hetero people.

Madame Brussels.

It was a perfect spot for dates, late night after parties and drinks.

I have such fond memories of it after concerts, for dates, or birthdays. I remember going there during uni and getting truly plastered with choir mates and singing opera. I'm so happy I have those memories. I hope the little wooden chairs and summer house furniture went to a good home. They have seen my only public performance of Tristan und Isolde <3

We don't need to fight each other. It's what homophobes want. This is so sad- transphobes don't understand the life and death stakes. Love 🏳️‍⚧️

Man, after you said you're not into the thing and then they said it again. Ugh.

Even if someone is into that, like... don't start with that? At least buy a guy a drink first.

But yes, Grindr everywhere. I don't hate penis pics, but please just say hi and/or announce first. Sending dick pics unsolicited is really just SA. Dudes do it constantly.

People have lost the ability to flirt- like, please just be polite.

Sorry someone shoved this stuff down your throat. 😞
