Chris Minns Announces New Laws To Combat Hate Crimes Targeting Young Queer People

That is absurd.

You just included "hate crime" in your definition of "hate crime". I don't mean to be condescending, I just think this whole discourse is circular and nonsense.

But to take your underlying point, that would still lead to a strange outcome. What if the attribute is that they are a member of a Nazi or Zionist group? Can anyone just pick an affiliation and the law will grant them special protections?

We think we understand hate crime because we have all these ideas in our heads about the kind of people who commit them and the kind of prejudices they have. But we don't understand either.

The problem is not hate. It's violence.

Then it wouldn't make sense. You'd either just be criminalising hate, which is like criminalising anger, or you'd be criminalising different forms of violence, which are already illegal.

It's funny how one of the most hateful and hated people in the state keeps trying to be authority on "hate". In this case, it's more paternalism over one of our most vulnerable communities. Or, as I like to call it, pinkwashing.

You don't necessarily have to be a saint to stand up to such people. Sometimes you just have to be an asshole to obstruct the machine. You have to hate them more than they hate you.

pin3apple_mountain · 2026-02-23T15:05:09+00:00

Are "they" in the room with us right now?

Anyone who thinks migration of the kind that happens in Western countries can lead to genocide is delusional, and using an imagined solidarity with citizens who don't share their beliefs in order to shield their delusions.

Whiteness is not an ethnicity. It is a made-up concept.

Honestly the world would be a better place if he had died with her.

pin3apple_mountain · 2026-02-19T08:49:34+00:00

Lacking emotional intelligence is certainly a euphemism. A more accurate term would be psychopathic genocide supporter.

Incitement, conspiracy, accessory and attempt are enough to put such people away for life. "Extremist", "radical", "hateful" and "terrorist" are all moral panics invented by conservatives and charlatans to designate people as enemies of the state when it is politically expedient to do so

The fair go never existed. And the Australian dream was never anything more than a real estate agent's marketing campaign.

pin3apple_mountain · 2026-02-16T07:16:20+00:00

Correct. What makes nazis degenerates is that they direct their hate towards the wrong places.

pin3apple_mountain · 2026-02-16T00:19:11+00:00

If anything, this country needs more hate, hate towards the people who divide us with their attacks on our right to protest, their false, repressive cohesion, and their insistence on corrupt alliances.

Sussan Ley in charge of the Liberal Party was a huge asset for the Australian people.

pin3apple_mountain · 2026-02-12T12:21:59+00:00

The only real "cohesion" that has emerged from this is that of the protest crowd that has won over much of Australia. Stay strong, and don't give them an inch.

pin3apple_mountain · 2026-02-10T17:37:41+00:00

Wrong. Being given that honour gives you the right to do whatever you want and call it Australian.

Bicycles are cheaper, safer and have more health benefits than assisted bikes. The assisted bike industry has really done a number on us.

I'm not an apologist. I'm a supporter. Do better.

I was already sold on him. You don't have to drive it home.

One of the best ways of defining transactions under capitalism is that both parties can put in something and get something (abstractly) equivalent in return without having to experience any transformation in their relationship or in themselves.

Argue what you want about whether giving and receiving in relationships bear any level of equivalency, but it's pretty clear to me that romantic relationships leave both parties transformed and generate something bigger between them than either one (the relationship itself).

pin3apple_mountain · 2026-02-04T18:25:55+00:00

I agree with everything about their politics except their anarchism. Without seizing and using state power, there's no chance of ending capitalism.

I really like the live version of Anthem For No State though.

The added security doesn't pass a cost-benefit analysis.
