Smegmatron posted:Australians are openly, shamelessly racist. How can you possibly think anti-semitism is a bridge too far when that's the starting point? It's not that I think they'd be ashamed to own up to it, just that I'm puzzled they would have an opinion on Jews in the first place, since we don't really have a Jewish population. (Balaclava and Elsternwick, sure, but I'm out in Perth). The only interaction I recall having with Judaism growing up is Kyle on South Park and Ross on Friends. I just don't understand how you can foster a racial hatred of an almost entirely absent and/or invisible minority group.

I find it funny that The Skull keeps getting kicked out of patriot groups that mostly agree with him but they can't agree with him on camera so they ask him to leave. Then he appears 3 months later in some offshoot group and the same thing happens. He just wants friends you secret zionists!

I went to CCGS in perth and even that school had a very small jewish population. I was friends with one, and there was another one a couple of years ahead of me, but that was about it. Dude loved his soccer.

I think its because we literally insist on thinking of ourselves as European with US upgrades. We just buy in to other peoples arguments before we ask ourselves whether we really need to, just to remind them that we exist and want to belong. This is true of many dumb ideas we've imported.

I'm always puzzled as to where Australians pick anti-Semitism up. I mean, he's a boomer, so it's not like he's exposed to the internet or much international culture.

I think Mark Latham genuinely needs help, he's obviously been having some sort of breakdown. What does everyone think of the proposed border changes in NSW? I see Grayndler lost newtown and picked up Drummoyne? Probably shores up Albo support vs greens :/

Says they never socialise, keep to themselves etc. I just said they're probably really nice, why don't you go meet them or say hello the next time you see 'em? Didn't seem too interested in that idea. Suddenly he wasn't so passionate about that subject.

Anidav posted:Albomania isn't the hope for a better ALP but the hope for a more substantial human being as opposition leader. Yeah, personally my hope for a new ALP leader isn't a hope that the ALP will magically become Not poo poo (I won't vote for them either way), but that they would now have someone who can actually properly fight against the Liberals. The worst part about the ALP right now is that they're spineless, both legislatively and publicly, and I think a lot of that has to do with Shorten himself. You might see sort of a knock-on effect if Labor were led by someone like Albanese, who would at least be willing to argue loudly. This would probably allow Labor to actually climb in the polls because they'd actually be an entity, and maybe this is wishful thinking, but because Labor would be speaking against a lot of unpopular policies, they might be inclined to take up some better ones. Even if that doesn't happen, we'd still do very well to have someone actually being opposition leader. I think a huge part of the current bleakness of Australian politics is the fault of Bill Shorten's utter lack of personality or charisma. When Turnbull brings up the penalty rates issue, sure it's widely unpopular and will be shouted down. But it just doesn't feel like it is, because none of the people speaking against it have the public platform and audience available to the opposition leader, who is often unable to muster up a strong stance (other times he's straight-up unwilling). It feels like there's no opposition to these things, even when there is, because we practically don't have an opposition leader.
