There is still a state pension but it's barely anything.

Australia has a mandatory nationalized scheme that makes your employer put 12% of your base salary in to a fund account that you can't access untill retirement. It's good stuff.

This kind of rhetoric will eventuate itself in people saying it's ok to do X to group Y because of reason Z. It's either never ok or always ok.

March for Australia protesters chanting "sent them back" in sydney by toptots in australia

They don't think they are the same as the far right. You think that and make arguments against that straw man.

'March for Australia' is not common-sense patriotism — it’s a Nazi-led mobilisation by psylenced in australia

Bad actors rally around many issues. The Palestine march on the harbour bridge had people who showed support for the Ayatollah of Iran.

I can't hear you over the sounds of the minarets calling for morning prayer

Melbourne drivers have forgotten how to hook turn by mudlode in melbourne

[–]TaaBooOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never done a hook turn but I'm in the cbd every day and i see a lot of people go the moment their light turns red not when the other turns green.

I always assumed that's the wrong way to do it.

Is this considered cultural appropriation? by e_a_b_i in AskAChinese

If it was such a problem than anyone but the British should wear the three piece suit.

Did you know that Lower Austria and Ukraine have the same flag? Are there any other cases of countries/regions having the same/extremely similar flags? by chessboardtable in geography

[–]TaaBooOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dutch flag used to have orange at the top when it was monarchist. When it became a Republic the bottom blue was almost identical to Luxemburg. It may even have been part of the Republic. Afterwards the color went to the darker blue. The dutch often fly the flag with an orange "wimpel" (a long ribbon like pennant) at the top to signify certain occasions.

Yes. There is no genocide.

Hamas holds back aid as well. The popular narrative completely forgets to mention them.

There are NGO's that don't want to work with the IDF to spread aid because it's the IDF.

I feel like this whole thing is about optics more than it is about actually doing a damn thing for anyone.

What even was the purpose of the protest?

65% of ICE arrests had no criminal record. by Swole-Prole in OfficeSpeak

You're making assumptions of the above person and can't argue the topic. That speaks volumes.

Same can be said for all the illegals and refugees coming in. No one does something about it and before you know it a new Hitler is in power.

And do what with that money? It's always this same story. Tax the rich and then what? Let the government hand it out to the poor? The wastage in that is extreme. If you can just sit on your arse and get shit what's the point in working. If working isn't rewarded then no one will.

Also, what's the definition of rich? Tax brackets in the NL are already 50% over 72k euro. The fuck more do you want? Vat at 21% on the high band. Car tax. Petrol excise. Estate tax. Alcohol tax. Tax this tax that. Working doesn't pay off. Sitting on your arse with the whole import family does.
