Just flew off the mark at Superbank , Noosa .Cylinders etc !
Helium is the go , if they’re still making them.

Of course you would buy a piece of shit import board made with slave labour instead of supporting local shapers.

Yeah you’re right, I probably should have made do with a slower ,
heavier board,
But you’re the expert having ridden all
these boards.
Not sure if Slater would have bought them out
if they were all pieces of shit ,
But you obviously know better once again.

Slave Labour ?
Can you recommend a Local Shaper Burleigh ?

Interesting , that these days some of the most direct news is being delivered by 'comedians.'

yep, bums pretty universal:
"shove it up your arse, face like a smacked arse, sit on this and rotate, blow it out your arse, you're an arsehole.. "
and poos too:
"full of shit, talking crap, shit dribbler, verbal diarrhea.. "

course the king of all aussie-isms is simply "f*** off"
only can be improved upon by using a dismissive word to address to target, showing them the level of respect you have for them, like the master, Darryl "get your hand off it Daz" Kerrigan:

Considering that Gates sits at the absolute pinnacle of those who suscribe to and prosper from globalised neoliberalism, how on earth can you say he's a "lefty"?
More Indo logic?

Does anyone here really believe that the Democrats are of the left? Compared to Trump’s GOP certainly Harris is closer to the centre … but then again we’re talking about a country that saw ObamaCare as a socialist plot, it’s only my opinion but I see a centre right and far right political system in the USA, over and out folks

…. saw the Dylan movie today, 5 stars!

ooh, was gonna see that at melbourne central on my way out @Guy, (got caught up in a faux English pub having beef and yorkshire pud and kilkennys instead). our local has it, thanks for the recommend. my movie-music-making mate took us to Nosferatu.. astonishing, maybe Eggers' finest thanng.. One of those films you can't believe got made. (gonna be interesting at SN, word is @freeride has crafted an outraged hand-written letter to some guy called Nick, who may be covering Pipeline..)

Sorry it aint just Indo logic, here's is a thread that ask the question

"Is Bill Gates a liberal or conservative?"
https://www.quora.com/Is-Bill-Gates-a-liberal-or-conservative

9 out of 10 comments agree with me.

Maybe not hard left, but definitely left leaning

And he put 50 million towards Kamala's campaign and she was pretty left leaning even for a democrat.

Did you really just use a thread on Quora to back up your claim??
Hahahaha, fucking hell mate, you really do make me laugh sometimes!
Maybe we can start by discussing the definition of left-wing political leanings.
Basically if you can look at Bill Gates, his wealth and how he lives and say that he believes in economic and social equality, then you are truly delusional.

I don’t do horror movies base6, they scare the crap out of me, yeah I know ….

So you claim it's just Indo logic, and then i provide an non bias open public source where there is a variety of other's opinions where most agree with me and they provide reasons why, yet you diss the source because their views dont align with yours.

Have you considered that they are right and you are wrong?

I’m working off the commonly accepted definition of left-wing ideology.
What are you working off?
Seriously.
Feelz?

Once again you accuse others of a lack of education/knowledge. If you actually new what you where talking about you’d know the USA has done more to diminish the true left of politics worldwide than any other country in the world since WW2. And when they did get a President who saw there own hegemonic practices as detrimental to the sovereignty of developing nations they assassinated him. Civil rights leaders assassinated. When students rose up they bashed and shot them, supplied drugs and infiltrated organisations with agents provocateurs. Unions have been busted. The identity politics that yourself and the other retards engage in when you think your tackling the left are the construct of these same forces that would actually prevent the equitable division of wealth and resources between capital and labour world wide which is at the true heart of left politics. Not what your fucking pronouns are. That’s why we’re experiencing a political era where right wing ultra fascism is comfortable to rear it’s ugly head again.

Fuck you’re a dumb cunt.

that is a fine stance. I don't do them either. usually have my finger stcuk in my left ear for support.. glad I saw it, though.

That's a really good post. How did the left allow itself to be hoodwinked out of it's economic/class struggle roots and focus by the Frankfurt school of cultural marxism and all the insane rubbish they've produced?

Mass murder, nefarious operations and Mcarthayism did the job from what I’ve read VJ.
Andy-Mac probably has a better understanding than I have, because of his education, but it’s been a long sustained campaign to undermine that class struggle of the proletariat by vested interests. The CIA being the cudgel of Wall Street as opposed to a true state security apparatus.

It's a feature, not a bug. It's not some screw-up by the left, but a straight-up strategy.

It boils down to two main reasons.

First off, there's this hardcore belief in socialist/Marxist circles that the big reason why all previous attempts at socialism and communism failed in Western nations is 'cause most folks actually like the whole deal with material wealth, high living standards and prosperity, freedom, capitalism, Christianity, democracy, keeping power spread out, and sticking to traditional family and gender values and norms - you know, the American Dream and all that jazz. Once communism and socialism couldn't deliver the goods and the lifestyle got worse, people flipped on the socialist dictators.

So, the modern progressives, who are all about sneaking in socialism while acting as though they're not, have this major game plan to make people turn against, trash, and cut ties with their country's Western culture, lifestyle, wealth, prosperity, and values. They're out there undermining, bashing, and discrediting everything about Western society, culture and values, trying to make everyone hate and reject it.

This is where you get this whole mess of cultural Marxism, or what we call the "culture wars" or "identity politics". You see it in how progressives push and indoctrinate people into:
- Shoving Islam and other non-Christian religions down our throats.
- Glorifying indigenous cultures and traditions.
- Screaming about an imminent environmental doomsday.
- Pushing hardcore feminism.
- Going all in for the LGBTQ+ agenda, including the mutilation and castration of children
- Legalizing petty crime.
- Even trying to normalize pedophilia, which is just nuts.
- Telling white people to not have kids.
- Flooding the country with massive ethnic immigration.
- Clamping down on free speech, especially by bowing to the "experts".
And so on.

All this is an attack on, and an attempt to wreck, the bond people have with Western culture, traditions, values, the good life - our way of life.

Second, the progressives have taken a page out of the Chinese Cultural Revolution playbook, where Mao turned China into a communist dictatorship (even if it turned out disastrously, leading to massive human suffering, and China had to pivot to state capitalism - which is basically fascism). The whole point of Mao's Cultural Revolution was to get the Chinese people to reject, attack, and sever their connection with China's history, culture, values, religions, and traditional philosophies, and instead buy into Mao's brand of communism.

These cultural Marxist or "identity politics" moves by the modern progressives in Western countries are intentionally a direct lift from Mao's playbook. Even the info-warfare tactics like cancel culture, public shaming, ruining people's careers, censorship, straight-up lying, rewriting history, infiltrating schools with their propaganda, and having a massive higher education system churning out cultural Marxist graduates and narratives - it's all what Mao did to brainwash the Chinese, enforce his cultural revolution, and convert China to communism.

It's all a very carefully thought out and long-term executed strategy.

""failed in Western nations is 'cause most folks actually like the whole deal with material wealth, high living standards and prosperity, freedom, capitalism, Christianity, democracy, keeping power spread out, and sticking to traditional family and gender values and norms""

You better let the Scandanavian countries know that their socialist systems have failed, you know the ones with the highest standard of living, best outcomes in education and health, best happiness scores on the planet etc etc.

nice, ha.
capitalism is like nutmeg. way overrated in the middle ages, probably useful, but fucking gross.

Yep

From Wikipedia
"Cultural Marxism" refers to a far-right antisemitic conspiracy theory that misrepresents Western Marxism (especially the Frankfurt School) as being responsible for modern progressive movements, identity politics, and political correctness. The conspiracy theory posits that there is an ongoing and intentional academic and intellectual effort to subvert Western society via a planned culture war that undermines the supposed Christian values[note 1] of traditionalist conservatism and seeks to replace them with culturally liberal values.[1][2][3][4][5]

A contemporary revival of the Nazi propaganda term "Cultural Bolshevism", the contemporary version of the conspiracy theory originated in the United States during the 1990s.[6][1][7][note 2] Originally found only on the far-right political fringe, the term began to enter mainstream discourse in the 2010s and is now found globally.[7] The conspiracy theory of a Marxist culture war is promoted by right-wing politicians, fundamentalist religious leaders, political commentators in mainstream print and television media, and white supremacist terrorists,[8] and has been described as "a foundational element of the alt-right worldview".[9] Scholarly analysis of the conspiracy theory has concluded that it has no basis in fact.[7][5][10] "
