I read the headline as Australia was arming their journalists and I was confused by the escalation.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

That would actual be pretty funny to start with. Rubber bullet stand offs between journos and the American brown shirts. You know, before USA starts “accidentally” hitting journos with $3.5 million dollar missiles a la Israel style.

Then Kelloggs releases a new porridge filled with red dye called “Oops! All journalists!” and taco serves it to foreign ambassadors in what would be a terrifying gesture if he didn’t spend the entire meal dancing on the table with those geriatric “I want to move but not fall over” dance moves.

Whether you like it or not, I had a lot of fun writing this absolute bullshit XD

Isn't Australian society very similar to American conservative crap?

[-] [email protected] 7 points 22 hours ago

Not nearly to the same extent as America, but in general, yes. Same direction, just less extreme.

We also voted against the Trump crap last election, I'd imagine if America had preferential and mandatory voting they would have too

No, Australia is already outright owned by plutocratic mining corperations. In the US they have to go through all the lobbying and buying millions of trumpcoin.

Riiiight, Australia is the one that's outright owned by lobbyists, and America is a bastion of free speech. Yeah, alright mate.

Didn't say it was, cunt.

They are. In fact, we can thank America's largest spewer of hate (fox) on one of their homegrown assholes, Rupert Murdoch.

Hey now, he might have been born here, but he's not our arsehole. And he hasn't been for 40 years.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 20 hours ago

He doesn't even have Australian citizenship, does he?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 17 hours ago

Yeah exactly. He chose to get rid of it 40 years ago this year.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 19 hours ago

Only because he forfeited it.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 18 hours ago

I mean yeah, that's what I was getting at. He can't even live here, he's not our problem anymore.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

Unlike the MAGA movement, most of Australia's right wing are neither Vatnik, nor Fascist. I mean, there are those as well, like Clive Palmer, but he is a spam pest and a joke - most people think he is ridiculous. So no.

...by entering into a data center agreement with America!
