[Opinion] Australia condemns LA Police for rubber bullets after quietly arming our own
The Australian media's explainers on rubber bullets don't explain that our police have them too — and that they use them here, on us.
You're viewing a single thread.
Isn't Australian society very similar to American conservative crap?
Yes, alas pretty much
They are. In fact, we can thank America's largest spewer of hate (fox) on one of their homegrown assholes, Rupert Murdoch.
Hey now, he might have been born here, but he's not our arsehole. And he hasn't been for 40 years.
He doesn't even have Australian citizenship, does he?
Yeah exactly. He chose to get rid of it 40 years ago this year.
Only because he forfeited it.
I mean yeah, that's what I was getting at. He can't even live here, he's not our problem anymore.
Not nearly to the same extent as America, but in general, yes. Same direction, just less extreme.
We also voted against the Trump crap last election, I'd imagine if America had preferential and mandatory voting they would have too
No.
Unlike the MAGA movement, most of Australia's right wing are neither Vatnik, nor Fascist. I mean, there are those as well, like Clive Palmer, but he is a spam pest and a joke - most people think he is ridiculous. So no.
