It's the holiday equivalent of those oversized American utes

Human civilisation feels like it's regressing.

These companies have entire public relations departments that can see the writing on the wall. The people who want to celebrate Australia day as it currently is are dying out / becoming irrelevant. Millenials will soon be the largest generation. Sure there are still millenials that have no problem celebrating Australia day, but they are increasingly in the minority. Even moreso in gen z.

Personally I don't even know if i think the date should be changed anymore. Maybe it would be better if we embraced Indigenous Australian's experience and treated it as a day of mourning. Essentially, stop cebrating on this day and treat it more like rememberence day. A day where we reflect on the ongoing impacts of colonisation and commit to rectifying injustices. A day of truth telling. I'm happy to go with what Indigenous Australians think is best.

Yeah 100%. You can see the change just in gen z's attitudes towards this. The rallies are also getting bigger each year.

I'm honestly surprised it lasted this long / hasn't been vandalised before.

I think the whole thing as is (vandalised and all) should be put in a museum. History is not linear or static. We actively create and engage in history each day. Vandalising and pulling down these statues is not erasing history but rather contributing to it. If the statue gets cleaned and fixed then that is arguably an act of historical erasure.

Cause he was a colonising cunt who represents colonial cuntfuckery. There's a reason white supremacists put him on their Nazi flags. He was also a child rapist.

Fuck yeah Germany!

This would likely mean my country's (Australia) biggest trading partner going to war with our biggest ally (USA). We're also close to this conflict geographically speaking so would likely play a key role in it. Honestly this conflict would really fuck our economy and make the entire region more unstable than it already is.

So I'd be quite concerned if this happened. It would destroy my country and be yet another reminder of how we are tied to the USA and will literally follow it to our own destruction.

Can we please just have a good ending with this one where the Germans protest the nazis out of town. The world kind of needs this right now. Please Germany, show us that anti-fascist resistance is possible and history is not doomed to repeat itself forever.

Human rights apply to everyone regardless of whether they engage in crime.

More war. Not necessarily WW3 but an increase in the number of proxy type conflicts.

His whole life story explains everything already. The drugs are just the icing on the cake.

I lost what little faith I had left in our current arrangement of society and our capacity to cooperate within this context. My worst fears were realised as it became apparent just how many people, entire governments even, are more than willing to abandon the vulnerable to the capitalist machine. The fact that at one point people were trying to argue that death is actually not that bad and not being able to go to bars and cafes was actually the real injustice. I'd say that's a pretty long term consequence for me personally.

I'm autistic so for me it was speech first. Didn't really learn to read body language until my teenage years and it was something I had to actively force myself to learn. Still can't really do it all that well though to be honest.

Nazis hate a lot of different types of people.

I don't dislike people. They just confuse and overwhelm me and this is incredibly exhausting.

This is a completely different situation to those companies. This isn't a consumer product it's human rights. This is a government agency tasked with safeguarding human rights.

This is my conservative father in a nutshell
