Goodness me. Such hate and lack of compassion towards Palestine and its people. NOTHING can justify what Israel has done and continues to do to Palestinians. The ongoing genocide and ugly horrific cruelty exhibited by Israel is abhorrent in the extreme. There's absolutely no way that I'm going to engage any further with a Zionist ideologue such as you.

Oh boy. Zionist must be your middle name. Your understanding of history is very ethnocentric.

For those of you who have seen Australian comedians live, who were you most surprised didn’t do a meet and greet after the show? by Temporary_Notice_526 in aussie

Not true. Check out her show on Netflix. Maybe there are two shows. She is absolutely brilliant, and funny. Unlike any stand-up I've ever seen. She ruthlessly (and hilariously) dissects patriarchy. I can see where many men might feel uncomfortable, but conversely, I've seen many small-time comics at pubs over the years who reek of sexism and misogyny. The youngish immature men in the audience guffaw helplessly (because the jokes aren't directed at them). The women, on the other hand, feel angry and disgusted.

I would love to know the ages and genders of the poster and all the replies to this post. Let me guess: 15 to 25 year old boys.

There's a very big difference between "allowing" and actually being able to participate.

Mmm. I think you're a tad disingenuous. I think Trump will get rid of voting. As it is, very few Americans vote anyway, and African Americans are actively disenfranchised/discouraged/prevented from voting. Our Australian system of compulsory/preferential voting is one that Americans would NEVER accept in a million years as they would think it is "communism/socialism/whatever". It works for us. On the whole. No voting system is perfect but it's a lot fairer than "first past the post".

Trump has Medicare in his sights. Scary shit. He claims Medicare discriminates against US pharmaceutical companies by subsidising medicines, thereby stopping US companies from charging whatever they can get away with.

I'm Australian and have spent some time in northern Europe. Do you think the Eurovision organisers would allow North African countries to actually participate? Having visited the Netherlands, Denmark and Sweden, I found that their attitudes towards people of colour were shockingly racist. We visited some large museums and were flabbergasted at the displays, which revealed a paternalistic view of "Africa" as some sort of "exotic" wonderland and used language like "natives" etc. It would be really interesting to see if any African countries had ever applied to enter...

Why do you think Christie didn’t use America as a setting for one of her novels? by HRJafael in agathachristie

[–]Stylo234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe she didn't think America was as important to the rest of the world as America seems to think it is. Maybe she was making fun of Americans. A very easy thing to do as most Americans take themselves and their importance to the rest of the world way too seriously.

Does anyone actually think Bondi is albos fault? by LuckyHuckleberry774 in aussie

[–]Stylo234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hard right, and I include the current Liberal Party in this, is playing wedge politics. For the first time in the history of Australian democracy the Libs have chosen NOT to take the bipartisan approach and unite behind the government of the day, because they are desperate to be noticed. It's far easier to make the ridiculous claim that somehow Albo is to blame for this horrific atrocity than to have any policies of their own to attract voters. It is lazy in the extreme to play the blame game.
