And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Posts like this are cool because they reveal you for the US pop culture junkie you really are.

You mainline imported USA outrage politics first from John Oliver, then from twitter, then you look at a photo of a middle aged Australian woman and assume she does the same. Lol dude everyone here also reads the reposted Ben Shapiro tweets! That’s what us political activists do!!!!!

No. You’re just. Next gen couch potato flipping channels.

Or maybe there are people out there who are both capable of following politics and culture in several different countries, while also having a family, job, engaging in activism in a healthy and meaningful way.

itt productive antifascist discussion is 'USA outrage politics'

okay: why is Scott Morrison cosying up with noted nationalist white supremacist Donald Trump if he is not a nationalist white supremacist himself?

Forget the poo poo about his wife for a second: if Australia is run by a nationalist white supremacist, why should we dismiss online white supremacist activity as just kids joking about, especially if said online white supremacists are ideologically adjacent to those in power in Australia?

I believe the same is probably true about Trump.

I’d just like to point out that if Morrison is a white supremacist due to immigration policy then the ALP is just as guilty, and if you preferenced the ALP at the last election you explicitly supported a fundamentally white supremacist party so go off fam.

fair, but are you really sure that Morrison's not a complete idiot as well

I mean porque no los dos, sure, but this is the same party that elected Tony Abbott into leadership, so I'm not exactly sure Morrison cosying up with Trump is a shining example of rational neoliberal realpolitik than it is idiot capitalists attracting idiot capitalists

e: btw I have no doubt that the ALP's full of white supremacists too, seeing as they don't have a socialist bone left in their body

I mean really the difference these days boils down to who's saying the quiet part loud. The Libs and the ALP have both been pretty drat awful in the past - although in a one on one comparison the Libs lose out for the Whitlam govt shitcanning the White Australia Policy alone. Both are still loving awful to indigenous people.

Trump and to a lesser extent Morrison and the rest of the Liberal far right goons have realised that saying the quiet part loud will, at the very least, ensure them preselection, as most of the branch-level Liberal members these days are fundamentalist christian assholes. Much like the ALP party room is more moderate (to the right) than the ALP membership, the Lib party room seems to be in general more moderate than the base (other than in the more cosmopolitan areas like Wentworth and Warringah), who, based on branch and division level resolutions I've seen popping out, are all in for a white christian ethnostate. Apart from the bits where they need the Chinese to win. Somehow this doesn't trigger massive cognitive dissonance amongst the members, and I assume that the reason is money.

I truly hope that Trump's impending trip down the Nixonhole will somehow reflect poorly on Morrison - but I doubt it. We'll be no better off with Porter or Dutton, and the ALP are loving hopeless and wouldn't beat Craig "poo poo me pants oops" Kelly in a fair fight right now so who gives a gently caress, really.

Harold Holt (both as immigration minister and as PM) did a fair bit to get rid of the White Australia Policy, at a time when Calwell / Labor still supported it.
