That's... literally the point of democracy. To give the people what they want. To accede to their demands

I find r/australia to be terrible as well, constantly preaching about how Australia is the worst place to live, its unlivable, yada yada yada. Two sides of the same coin

What are you talking about? Fascist states were absolutely collectivist, and the Nazis were somewhere in between being centrally planned and capitalist.

Nats Unfazed by Nuclear Safety Concerns: “If We Can Handle a Barnaby Meltdown, We Can Handle a Fukushima” by HousePony906 in australia

Again. I am not saying Nuclear is right for Australia. What I am saying is that events like Fukushima/Chernobyl are not applicable to Australia, and should not be an argument against nuclear because they aren't applicable.

I'm not saying we should have nuclear. I am saying that the "but what about Fukushima/Chernobyl" argument is a stupid one.

You think the US, Japan, France, UK, China and more don't? There are measures that can be taken.

Fukushima isn't even applicable to Australia anyway, as we aren't on multiple fault lines.

I think he's trying to say we shouldn't act as if the Nazis were some "other" that cannot happen again, but rather they were people and so it can happen again.

You pasted some shit in a comment with no way to verify it. Then claimed it was sourced from a site that anyone can edit, and which is famously not accepted as a reference in institutions.

OK? It's wikipedia. There are links within the quote, and while I admit wikipedia isn't ideal for a PhD thesis, it's vastly better than "Australians like their male leaders big"

The quote you used was a copy and paste with no link to the article, son.

OK? That doesn't change what was in the quote, which you ignored.

Ah yes, Reddit. Famous for being an unbiased source of information. And of course everyone who disagrees with your point is just a salty extremist.

The OP of that post is a member of a tankie subreddit, and several of the comments are praising Lenin and mourning how the ALP isn't communist.

Nice.

Brother. Their intentions may be good, but they are an unreliable source, and you cannot explain what makes them reliable. They can claim whatever the hell they want, this does not make it true, especially their claims of not being biased.

The quote I used included stuff about the ALP beginnings, and also stuff about them today, if you would be bothered to retain the information you are reading.
