It's not news to anyone paying attention, but that weird Tesla fanatic uncle is going to find it a bit harder to rationalise an actual unambiguous world-famous Nazi gesture. We've even got those worshippers over here, and anyone reasonable who was on the fence with their pro-Musk proselyting can't overlook something this clear.
Definitions of the continents in general are surprisingly variable, from what I've seen. I was surprised many years ago when I went online and found an Eastern European calling Eurasia one of the six continents. There are a few different systems taught in schools around the world, not just the 7-continent model we're used to. Like they've said in the video, different branches of science benefit from different understandings of continents.
Yeah nah I don't think they're just deciding that from a clip of one copper. More like the years of Australian mass media support of the Zionist regime, our country's critical military support of the ongoing genocide, and the rest of the shit that's been going on here.
Zionism has too strong a foothold in this country, we need to throw that garbage into the bin where it belongs with the Nazis. Fortunately, the neo-Nazis here are finally getting their doors smashed in by antifascists, but just like with the Zionists, the cops are doing their best to defend genocide's right to peace.
In Victoria, they only want to hunt deer “sustainably”, so they have recognised “Deer Habitats”.
I say this without context, but this just sounds absurd. They're an invasive and destructive species, right? To sustain native wildlife, we don't want to sustain the deer population.
First off we’re not America, we take care of our citizens. We don’t need to feed them carcasses killed by some rando.
We're definitely doing far better than the US, and while there's room for improvement on taking care of our citizens, not even the US needs to feed them carcasses killed by volunteer hunters. Easily preventable food wastage alone can solve shortages, overproduction is the status quo.
In Australia, depending on the state you live in, footie/football is assumed to be either rugby league or Australian rules football, unless the context makes it obvious that you're talking about soccer (association football) or rugby union.
The important point in this situation is that the ruling class is the owning class; the bourgeoisie. The racial and sexual composition of that class may change (and is already different in many countries), but we should not mistake that for a solution because until there is economic overhaul, the owning class is the class which determines and benefits from laws.
While you are correct that the most influential in Australia are rich and often also 'white' men, we must remember that these laws are ultimately written by politicians subject to capital owners, and written to benefit capital owners. That's why wage theft was only a civil matter - because business owners of all stripes benefit from wage theft.
Honestly the number of cartoons telling people to stop watching television is impressive. Futurama's "Bender Should Not Be Allowed on TV", for example.
"Phone users have hitherto only read about the world on various sites; the point, however, is to change it."
The state of the world is horrifying, it should horrify us, and the solution isn't to ignore that knowledge, but to apply it. Find organisations working to improve the world and do your part. Don't doomscroll, immobilising ourselves isn't helpful either, so sure "put the phone down" in that sense, but (preaching to the choir here) feeling bad about the state of the world is not a problem, it's a healthy sign.
If a way, they're closer, but in another way they're further - they are so trusting in the law that it's their chosen weapon of resisting laws they consider unjust. It's an individualist ultraliberalism, doubling down on the delusion when they notice contradictions, but perhaps it provides a potential moment of radicalization when their faith in the law is shaken by bad experiences with police. And I hope (blindly) that ends up driving some of them towards the left than towards neo-Nazism, who have intentionally targeted the anti-vaxx movement for recruitment with very mixed results.
I obviously can't speak for all the sovcits, but I get the impression that they typically haven't seen the tough side of the system until a legal dispute like custody in a divorce, which pushes them into the movement. Some other people are well-exprienced with the contradictions between the legal system and state violence, but those sovcits are used to law being the highest power and see what they're doing as legal and therefore righteous and protected, they have faith in legal loopholes. They're not criminals! They don't get beaten and tasered and jailed! Not sure what they think of all the cops ripping down car windows in the US... clearly power prevails over ideals when you challenge the status quo.
Compare and contrast with, say, the anarchist movement who are more than familiar with guns, jails, tasers and beatings.
If you've seen any leaked footage from neo-Nazi orgs, they're surprisingly garbage at performing the salute. It's actually amazing.
