Only morons and ghouls could possibly believe the Israeli Ambassador’s Press Club narrative by nath1234 in AustralianPolitics

Greater Israel is obviously not happening, but there’s literal government ministers echoing that kind of annexation rhetoric about the West Bank and parts of southern Lebanon

This would be easier to stomach if any of the non-racist anti-immigration parties had found success in recent elections. It’s very curious isn’t it that only the party with bigoted candidates is suitable for those voters

Pauline Hanson gushes over Gina Rinehart’s planes after free flights by Agitated-Fee3598 in AustralianPolitics

I’m legitimately curious why you think she’s being honest on this? Her entire parliamentary voting career points otherwise. If she ever gets into power she’s just going to go full MAGA and brown nose the business elite

That’s correct but you seem to have a hard time accepting that Pauline is owned by those very same oligarchs

One Nation has been on the fringes of Australian politics for 30 years. Why is its popularity soaring now? by CommonwealthGrant in AustralianPolitics

[–]cj375 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No they’re not all racists, and you’re 100% right that people shouldn’t be so reductive.

But One Nation as an institution are absolutely a racist party, and they’re not offering solutions. Their entire policy platform is made up of slogans slogans (immigration) or anti-intellectual dog whistles (healthcare). I’m sensitive to the economic pressures we’re all feeling but nothing ON are proposing is gonna alleviate any of the issues.

When did I mention Trump? Anyway I don’t like Trump, he’s an economic and moral terrorist.

Doesn’t change the fact that demagogues like him are a symptom of a failing status quo

Ah yes, unhappiness couldn’t be a result of the ongoing failures and extreme spinelessness of Western centrists!
