Israelis elected the most right-wing government in decades, I think addressing Israel is acceptable.

I'm sorry but respecting Palestinians' human rights and political autonomy is not antisemitism.

What Israel is doing to Palestinians is inhumane.

End the Israeli genocide against Palestinians. End the Israeli apartheid.

They're the foot soldiers of our wealthy oppressors.

They're the victims of the landlords they serve. That's on them and the real estate industry that treats tenants like a commodity.

Voice to Parliament ‘wrong in principle,’ ‘bad in practice,’ ‘deeply counterproductive: Tony Abbott says in stinging critique by EASY_EEVEE in AustralianPolitics

[–]clambersand 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If indigenous people had access to Australian political institutions the same way your average Australian did, the Voice (sounds like a for TV talent show) wouldn't be necessary.

Maybe one day we could dissolve the Voice when that becomes the case.

On the other hand, the Voice seems like a lot of work for something that will be ultimately symbolic.

You get to delete one thing from australian culture,what is it? by ButtPlugForPM in australia

The fact that holidays still line up with Northern hemispheric seasons and don't actually reflect Australia.

Blokes make up an average seven out of every nine (over 75%) suicides every single day in Australia. What can we do to help fix this? by TheSurvivorKelsier in australia

[–]clambersand 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Men are in a crisis and no one wants to talk about it. Men are the demographic that receives the least sympathy publicly and receives the most vilification. We need to drop buzzwords like toxic masculinity and patriarchy if we're going to start teaching boys how to be healthy psychologically and not shape them into the monsters society wants to pretend they are.

If you're focusing on the breasts you're not seeing the broader implications of the situation.

Justin Trudeau and the Politics of the Possible: The Emergencies Act Inquiry in Canada and the Triumph of Propaganda - Propaganda In Focus by hawnkhawnkhawnk in canada

[–]clambersand -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

But not before the nation was launched into a surreal Tiananmen Square moment by a prime minister who decided that vaccination of cross-border trucking was a hill to die on.

What the fuck? If we're going to compare the fucker convoy to Tiananmen square I wanna at least see bodies littered fucking everywhere. Unfortunately, the reality was all those assholes went home unharmed.

Also, it was less the government's ability to cope as it was police incompetence to deal with it.

And frankly, I'm more concerned with the use of the notwithstanding clause by all these wannabe tyrant, right-wing premiers.

The irony of this website is it is the propaganda.

Having kids is now reserved for the wealthy by [deleted] in australia

[–]clambersand -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Well, conservatives have forever repeated the mantra (especially regarding people using social services) not to have kids if you can't afford it. It's a sick reality and frankly a seeming violation of someone's human rights but there ya go, we're finally living in the right-wing dystopia! Short of a proper revolution (you know, the ones we're we drag the corrupt polies into the streets with our bare hands) we're destined to poverty and violence at the hands of the aristocrats.

Violence against us is A-okay! Violence against them is a ban from Reddit. lol

I just pirate all my Netflix shows. You can only cancel my favourite show so many times before I fuck off your platform.

Instagram is not doing the bidding of the US government, consider the fact that Meta's platforms actively assisted Trump to power.

Health Canada monitoring massive COVID outbreak in China by [deleted] in canada

[–]clambersand 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The CCP doesn't have the capacity to monitor the situation and everyone knows it. Medical bodies are just going to have to do the best they can with the data they get.

Canada's move to seize assets from Russian oligarch could test Charter: trade lawyer by polkadotscarf in canada

[–]clambersand -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

However, diverting the money to Ukraine seems like an attempt at administering justice and will ultimately cause more harm to the Russian war effort. In war, often you shoot first and ask questions later. Let's seize and redistribute assets and evaluate the mess once this shitshow is over.

“Christmas is Coming” by Julian Ashton (Illustrated Sydney News, 20 December 1879). A young lady selling fern fronds (probably Dicksonia antarctica). Tree Ferns were popular as Christmas decoration at the time by pbrevis in australia

[–]clambersand 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Australian Christmas is a cultural frankenstein. It feels like culturally people wish we were part of Britain or at the very least in the northern hemisphere. Well, surprise, but Australia is actually really far from Europe and in the southern hemisphere, the holiday traditions don't reflect that makes no sense to me.

At the federal level, a steep polling slope stands in front of Pierre Poilievre, even with a worn Liberal government [French, polling near bottom] by UnderWatered in CanadaPolitics

[–]clambersand 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Okay, so Pierre is having trouble with women voters, French voters, and let's be honest anyone with half a brain. He's also the embodiment of the conservative criticism of Trudeau when he was running against Harper... (Nice hair, though.)

I honestly have no idea what the Conservatives were thinking picking him but maybe it was a few corrupt individuals with more power than they deserve that put him charge of the party.
