Always suss on people who spend way too much time on the internet shutting down debate and ideas that don’t fit the mainstream narrative by calling people rascist.
Some heavy guilt there. What are they hiding?
Something much worse than racism?

Eugene, Nobody is shutting down debate here.
If gronks like blowin and Indo want to deny and spread racism, they aren't immune from criticism. That's how things work. They say stupid and offensive things, and people call them out for it.
If you don't like people being held to account, go move to North Korea.
And having said that, Swellnet has absolutely no obligation to host their racist rubbish. If they want to de-platform the bigots, that's entirely Swellnet's prerogative.

And you're an apologist and enabler and 'useful idiot' at best, Sepp.

Painting yourself into another corner.

Hey, at least media grifters like Diamante Joe Hildebrand get paid.

Vic's an extremist??

What's that say about you, Sepp? Or your fellow travellers on here (if they even concur), ya reckon?

Who you fighting the 'good' fight for? Rather, who do you think you're fighting the 'good' fight for?

Actually, what is your good fight??

We’ll get Trump again and right wing gvts prevailing across the world and they’ll mostly have themselves to blame.
Maybe it’s intentional, easier to be pointing the finger than to be in charge coming up with real ideas and solutions.

It hit me the other day Bruce Pascoe is actually not that much different to a conspiracy theorist, people like David Icke etc

Take's a base of truth but stretches and adds to it to create something new that people want too hear or believe.

They then promote it through youtube videos, talks, websites, media etc with the aim to sell a product generally a book for $$$.

As we know both have aspects of truth, but both also have aspects that are easily busted and go against science, evidence, majority of experts and known history.

Some interesting reading here, Brutus, from Pascoe following the reception by the usual suspects of Dark Emu, and their subsequent attacks of him. Great writer.

And another book worth a look if you haven't already.

A day or so ago I posted an opinion that the BLM movement has been usurped as a means to orchestrate destabilisation of the USA and so goad Trump into utilising the military to reinstate civility . This would in turn allow a narrative that Trump had turned dictator and allow him to be forcibly removed from office .. Some thought this was a ridiculous theory. I said that Democrats were abandoning their responsibilities towards citizens and allowing anarchy to take hold. I believe they are complicit in this anarchy and enable it as a means to attempt another coup *.

Now we have completely abandoned the tenuous BLM smokescreen and have a majority white anarchy-state being established within the USA.

The Democrats responsible are again complicit.

The Never Trumpers do not care that we are watching democracy being completely disregarded in their attempts to gain power .

This is as funny as it is quietly shocking :

The idea I keep returning to is this .....perhaps there really is no Democrats vs Republicans , just as there isn’t really LNP vs ALP ? After all , they both want the same neoliberalism , just with a slight enough taint to make them appear opposing.

Perhaps the idea is to distract the population, get them set with infighting and make them so confused and angry that the 1 percent gets to do as they please ?

The 1 percent just got gifted over four Trillion dollars in “ Aid “ in the US.

Maybe the fix is in ? Maybe this is how the plutocracy is going all in ?

Nothing would surprise me in a world where Donald Trump and Joe Biden are presented as the only possible future for the USA.

fucking hilarious the abc in oz reporting chaz about 3 days after its establishment, and failing to show any shots of the guys with guns as guards, despite us all seeing them for days on the internet

and also failing to see any stories of raz beating people up as a self appointed chaz raz 'police' enforcer

surely this stuff in newsworthy?

yes day four daytime in chaz was resembling a hippy music festival, but there was much much more to the story. surely this is dereliction of duty as a journalist? to ignore such crucial parts of a major developing story which is all over the internet

there is something very odd going on with the media atm

Mate , irrespective of how the bias CNN paints it , the reality is an area of the US where the police aren’t allowed to go .

It’s the opposite end of the media spectrum. CNN is as impartial as FOX . It’s basically the Democrats media vehicle. One of them anyway.

I call it Occupy mark 2.

the mayor Seattle calls it free speech and free association and said Seattle is fine. Doesn't sound too dramatic to me, nor the pictures look like some dystopian anarchist hell.

Trump is hyper-ventilating, for obvious reasons. Law and Order is his best chance of re-election.

Yeah, I saw the Tucker Carlson vid.

You intimated the Aus protests were going to be the vehicle of some shady anarchist take-over.
I went to the Byron protest.
About 5000 people, seemed peaceful and legitimate enough from my eye-witness perspective.

What'll happen in CHAZ? Probably not much. People will get sick of it, eventually the cops will move back in. Mayor sounds peaceful, which is good.

It’s politics.

Trump is being provoked by Democrat state politicians who hope he will storm the joint and get himself booted. It’s got zero to do with George Floyd , BLM or police brutality.

It won’t be gone in a week. It’ll be funded hard by Anti Trump crew and expanded to other regions as a means to make Trump’s authority look fragile. It’s a political insurrection aimed at either getting rid of a democratically elected leader now or make him seem unelectable during the next elections.

It’s a clever move. It either gets rid of him outright or makes him appear weak in front of the people who support him. I think a trump is more bark than bite though. It’s his typical MO to threaten hard then soften into reality. He might turn it around and highlight the weakness of the Democrats in the situation and turn it around on them .

Who knows if it’ll work ? People lose patience with having parts of their country held to ransom by armed activists. There’s a lot of other Americans with guns who don’t easily indulge the idea of Commies taking over their cities.

That’s the thing about the vocal minority , their noisy echo chamber leads them to believe in their imagined might.

PS ....I was wrong about the Aussie edition cause I overlooked the fact that it’s about US domestic politics. The local version is just parroting what they’ve seen on TV and assuming it’s completely organic. As I’ve said before , of course there’s a legitimate and real groundswell of BLM protest in the USA , but it’s got another program piggybacking on top.

The problem is the enemy keeps shape-shifting. It's the Deep State, then it's the Clintons, the radical left fake news, then Soros and Gates, Antifa, Commie Hippies, radical left Democrat Governors and Mayors, then it shifts to radical black violent looters, back to Antifa, back to Commies, the Jugaloos, then CNN, Never Trumpers and on it goes. Constantly changing it's shape. But what doesn't change is the intent, and that is a coup. A takeover of Democracy as we know it. Only Donald Trump and the Republicans can save America and freedom from this coup. Many people are saying this, a lot of people. Hamberder and covfefe.
