I've been thinking about this a lot lately since I saw this story about the australian ambassador to Iran promoting some niche australian gay pride event earlier this year
that and the constant pinkwashing of israel, and the constant concern trolling about queers in china
thank you for sharing this, I hate seeing my identity used as a cudgel. It feels so on the nose when it was still illegal to be gay in parts of australia well into the 1990s, and cops still routinely fuck with my community.
Dont your companions ask if it says something about you if you only include men or something? 🤣
Wow a osnit dork with a shit take, colour me surprised
No one is invading israel, don't fall for that.

I think its the kkkracker amerikkkan thing
Putting this guys face with variations on 'fuck israel' over the Palestinian flag feels really poorly thought out and disrespectful, lib shit
Phasing out gas cooking should always be a health and safety issue, I see people talk about the effects on children, but never about cooks who work in kitchens with a dozen burners running all day
One thing that really bugs me is we use gas to create steam to generate electricity to boil an electric kettle to boil water, really a minor pet peve here
another thing on cooking. so many home cooking appliances are dogshit, unsafe, too loud, and emit fumes with poor ventilation, and my new conspiracy is the modern nuclear family thing takes away power from unionised workplaces
These arent even junk, australia is just obligated to buy even more tanks they wont use from uncle sam

"I will spend the rest of my life in prison and die here," wrote Navalny in his upcoming posthumous memoir titled "Patriot", which this week had excerpts published in the new yorker
Patriot? Wow!

Amnesty International has stripped the Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny of his "prisoner of conscience" status after it says it was "bombarded" with complaints highlighting xenophobic comments that he has made in the past and not renounced.

According to Volkov, Navalny now regrets making the 2007 video in which he advocated for deporting Central Asian migrants, but he has not deleted it from YouTube “because it’s a historical fact.”
obviously I shouldnt be surprised about this kind of thing, especially from publications that were around to talk about sHitler caring about germany or whatever
Being a shithead can manifest itself in many ways:
If your friend says something offensive, and you don't call them out, or you only gently scold them so you can stay on good terms - you're being a shit head.
If you're criticising people behind their back, or holding your tongue in a meeting, and gossiping later - you're being a shithead.
If you're letting people off lightly because what they say doesn't personally affect you - you're being a shithead.
If you're demanding special treatment, while expecting others hold themselves to a higher standard - you're being a shithead.
If you resort to personal attacks, instead of arguing against an incorrect point - you're being a shithead.
If you hear someone state a falsehood as fact, and you don't correct them - you're being a shithead.
If you're at work and you're not agitating, and showing no concern for the well-being of others - you're being a shithead.
If you see someone harming others, while you do nothing to stop them, and do not try to reason with them - you're being a shithead.
If you do the bare minimum, with no direction, plans or goals - you're being a shithead.
If you consider yourself a veteran, better than others around you, and above menial tasks, - you're being a shithead.
If you're aware you've made a mistake, and you do nothing to correct it - you're being a shithead.
Being a shithead might keep you comfortable and safe, but you're doing harm to those around you when you engage in these behaviours.
If you're being a shithead, do not.
I try my best to uphold these principles, so yeah I guess you can say I'm pretty unpopular.

Yes I did just do a shorthand version of combat liberalism and ctrl+h "liberal" with "shithead", the idea of making a poster with these points that just says "DONT BE A SHIT" has been floating around in my noggin for a while, yes thank you, I am very funny.
spoiler 😱 actually if the original copy of this said "shitremoved" and I changed it to "shithead" so I don't upset anyone, is that liberalism? 🤔 /s :::
I feel like this should almost go in c/badposting haha

"We all have views and opinions, and everyone's entitled to protest, but we're also entitled to go about our business and we do it peacefully," Mr Reddy said.
"They're out there talking about Palestine and what's happening out there. I understand their point of view [but] who's talking about Ukraine?
"We're here to defend democracy and to enable the peace loving people of Ukraine to stand up to Russian oppression. Why is no one talking about that? It's only about Palestine for some reason."

fucking cretins
The ex minister for defence was at this expo, now on the board of some defence company, didnt get alot of attention though
fucking gross seeing so many good journalists trying not to salivate over the big boy toys while they put to you: dont you care for the peace loving Ukrainian people?
a quick search shows the australian grubernment provided 70mil to Palestine (extremely begrudgingly, funding stops anytime israle says boo) in the last 12 months, and more than 150mil to Ukraine

Found a snail eating away at some terf rubbish, I gave them a little help but they were really loving those corners!
iirc there's caveats for PNG, Fiji and NZ to join the australian federation baked into the constitution, this propaganda is so absurd
