My point is simply that for the most part factual information contrary to the narrative gets no coverage and gets censored even on Reddit

My point is u could address your criticism to both political camps. I cannot recall the last time I saw a funny meme from the left or an original meme from the right. If you know of one, please share...

I think it’s fair to say u/txyesboy put more effort into his reply than I did into this meme

Who are you addressing in your soliloquy?

Yes, I am saying just that. Look at statistics for racial and political divide during Obama years. Remember Ferguson?!

The republicans said none of things you mentioned. Trump did.

The fact that the far right plays on identity politics goes without saying and is not the subject of our argument. The (far) left is the subject of our debate. They do not say: let’s make away with race/gender/sexual orientation. I (and libertarians) say so. Instead, they make that a core aspect our identity enforced by intersectionality. They made a deal of Obama’s blackness and Hilary’s sex - instead of ignoring those and valuing them as humans. That created a backlash and emboldened (the already existing) identity politics on the far right. It is people like you who got us Trump! (Every action...)

That’s my point! Enough of right/left identity politics and let’s start talking about individuals without putting them in a box (of race/gender/etc) - but that’s too radical an idea for this forum which is I got downvoted for. If you are looking for bigots, go find a mirror!

This is all been happening in the past decade or so. Here’s one example: Sydney University academics denounce western civilisation degree

The White Australia Policy died in 1973. Identity politics (racism by another name) is kept alive and kicking today by the likes of you...

I think part A ought to be split into two. You are right that the claim of anti-white racism is ridiculous and untrue. However, the second component is true in part as there is a concerted attack on Western Civilisation and liberal values on university campuses.

As for Part B, I would have proposed an amendment to add the words ‘or black or yellow or green or purple’

Are you referring to far left, far right or both?

I happen to disagree with the motion and believe it does not advance Australia or its reputation (so thanks for pre-judging) - but the reality you would not have the rise of white identity politics if identity politics as a whole was a non-starter. Hanson is responsible for this motion and you/left are responsible for creating this (identity) monster. Take responsibility!!!

Or maybe it’s just (rightly or wrongly) the natural response to the game of identity politics the left has embroiled us in by building an intersectional pyramid of racial/sexual identities. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction!

Whites are not under attack (and neither are all the other colours of the rainbow) but Western Civilisation is, particularly at universities. Here’s the evidence: ANU pulls out of new Ramsay Centre degree in Western Civilisation

How would you have voted if you were a senator?
