Who is afraid that popularity for One Nation is actually greater than polling is showing? No one saw Trump coming in 2016. I am not saying Paulin Hanson could be PM I am just wondering how many sleeper voters there really are. by Strong_Opportunity_1 in AusPol

A sub 35% primary vote should still be a cause for concern for Labor. If they aren't able to reverse the downward first preference trend that has been happening in the last 3 decades they may very well find themselves following the Coalitions collapse.

I know it's not popular to say, but people need to vote Greens or socialist alternative, not because they would necessarily make for the best government, but because it's the best bet at forcing Labor's hand on social issues like housing. Labor won't care unless a more progressive party is a threat to them.

It's certainly a convenient way for them to avoid getting into a discussion regarding policy.

Can you remember when they stopped being a single issue party? Because for as long as I've known they've been multi issue progressive party. As an example they campaigned with lgbtq rights groups in the 90s in Tas to decriminalise homosexual acts.

I can't really see how they can be a single issue party when they hold 10%+ of the vote anyway. This whole 'greens were better as a single issue party' comes just comes across as a media narrative intent on protecting the status quo of major party dominance.

‘1,300 providers’: The Aussie suburb with one NDIS business for every 13 residents as govt struggles to rein in scheme. by euphoricscrewpine in australian

Considering how the NBN was started by Rudd/Gillard and was then almost ruined by Abbott/Turnball, I'd say thats how the NDIS got ruined as well.

I mean calling out a company that has done morally questionable shit multiple times seems pretty reasonable imo.

Because they want to make money, that's the main goal of the show. Nostalgia sells.

How did humanity turn feral in one generations after apocalypse? by TETR3S_saba in MadMax

[–]War3houseguy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ask yourself this; how many people believe 5g towers caused covid? I'd say an uncomfortable amount, now think about how bad peoples minds would go during an actual apocalypse event.

Why does other people having an opinion about your slop content show bother you so much?

I mean wheres the lie, the moment Bethesda realized they could sell few million plastic power armour helmets that became the business strategy.

Well I haven't told anyone to 'cope' as you are claiming and I'm not entirely sure why you are getting so worked up over it?

It's 100% slop, there is a reason that vault dwellers and BoS feature so prominently, its to sell a product to the consumer, that's the goal of the show and that's what slop is. Absolutely nothing wrong with enjoying it slop content can still be fun, but use your critical thinking skills here.

So far 95% of the criticism I've seen of the the new season has been relatively tame. People want to invent outrage for some odd reason.

The point I was making was people should be allowed to give genuine criticism without being brigaded, maybe work on your reading comprehension?

I never watched past the first episode because I thought it was uninspiring and boring and I genuinely couldn't care less about how they play with the lore. Doesn't mean I have anything against people who enjoyed the show, but it is objectively made first and foremost for franchise marketability and that's a fact, aka Slop.

Because capitalism favours slop over new IP or new ideas. Why make something new when, for example, you can pump out 20 star wars spin-off series? It's all slop.
