Huge fuckoff storm smashing Brisbane right now. Just woke everyone in the house. Lightning was like a strobe light for a while there. One particularly big close hit had taken down all power to my suburb. So much for sleep, for now.

Holy poo poo the amount of backtracking and backdowns on announcements that the Government has done this week is amazing. First with Frydenberg with emissions trading, then Kelly O'Dwyer being smacked down by Turnbull over the Banks Tribunal. If it was Labor doing this the News Corpse media would be having a field day. Of course since it is their mates in Government, barely any anger registers from the commercial media or News Corpse. And Turnbull has a balls to come out and say Australians aren't as jaded as Americans about their politicians. Just wait till the next election, Mal.

It's the same as Maybe there's another context to it but I've personally used multiple quotes to denote airquotes since before SA had an airquote smiley and certainly before the alt-right were a thing. How long has it had this other context? Byolante posted:Its the same account It's not. The Buzzfeed article is atrociously full of poo poo and fictional. It's not some racist/alt-right hideout. It's not some anti-aboriginal page. It's a meme and shitposting group started by some guy named Brock after he was banned from the QUT SS group for constantly posting about sports in all-caps. It predates the whole 18C saga by a number of months and the only relation is that it has a significant overlap with the QUT crowd. It's apolitical and pretty centralist, if not slightly left leaning, simply by virtue of that being the political distribution of uni students and young adults. It's no more racist than all of SA is because occasionally FYAD posts poo poo like that. I've no idea if that's actually Calum or if it's a fake account (there's multiple on there). The post got (rightly) called out later in the thread. Regardless, because the place was conceived as a place where anyone can post anything off-topic (in that it's just full of shitposting about anything and everything), the admins try to avoid deleting anything where possible as a rule and instead tell people to block those they don't like. Either way, if it's actually Calum he's a tremendous idiot for thinking he should say that even possibly as a joke. If it's not him, whoever it is will gently caress him over something chronic in his ongoing lawsuits and they're a dickhead for it.

How long has it had this other context? lmao then why use the three quotation marks? It's a really bizarre thing to do because using the """quote""" is hyper specific and also unusual. Also it may have had a different meaning previously, but it's recently been used to mark out Jews, or suspected Jews, on the internet. Also I guess you are a QUT student or something?

As I said, because he wanted to use it as airquotes because he thinks Buzzfeed are hacks and calling them journalists is an abuse of the word 'journalist'. Literally just read it as journalist and you have his intended meaning. I am sure he's as oblivious to this alternate meaning as I was until reading auspol this morning. quote:Also I guess you are a QUT student or something? e: hosed up quote tags

I've seen the ((())) thing used before but never picked up the context of it. I don't even know if it was used in that context or parroted out of context because someone saw someone else use it and didn't realise why. I can see why people could use """Jew""" in this context, because it's like saying Jew. I certainly used it before that for poo poo like saying """good""" morning when I'm tired and don't want to be awake. If it's an anti-Semitic thing it's only because they've taken over it and hosed it's connotation

It stems from a Chrome extension that put ((())) around journos and news outlets that were on a specific list of Jews.

A large part of the decline in GDP is reduced government spending on defense, which will presumably ramp up again in the not too distant future.

The liberal response to the ((())) thing on Twitter and stuff is hilariously telling. Someone came up with the bright idea of non-Jews putting parenthesis around their own names so the Nazis couldn't tell who was a Jew and who was a liberal. As if Nazis are going to give a poo poo. It's just so indicative of a mindset that thinks fascists can be reasoned with and need to be allowed to hold their views.
