will never not be grateful for the herd
"The Police chose violence". Veteran journo and sports broadcaster Peter Lalor was at the Sydney Herzog protest, got pepper sprayed. His account

Just discovered $3 billion in extra nuclear sub spending between May and December $15.4B → $18.6B
Where's the $3 billion going? Defence: "Take it on notice"
That's enough money to build 10,000s public homes but for Defence it's pocket change they lost down back of the couch.
the appearance of a diversity of opinions within the government when the reality is the opposite just helps to launder their behaviour. husic has been repeatedly humiliated & hung out to dry but he is happy to allow himself to be used as a shield to deflect criticism of the great leader
So @chrisminnsmp.bsky.social wants us to consider the full context before judging videos of police brutality online. Ok, let’s zoom out
Perhaps if the Herzog protesters had turned up dressed as Nazis the cops would have left them alone
Another brilliant cartoon from Cathy Wilcox.
knowing very well what I was potentially getting myself into, I've been kettled a couple of times by the masters, the metropolitan police. it's a very innocuous term, but it can be a pretty terrifying experience, even when you consented to put yourself in that situation
wow - this is an astonishing high-up view of the police tactic of "kettling": trapping protesters and then squeezing that space smaller to provoke confrontation and justify police officers violently bashing and attacking protesters
“It was Australian soldiers who liberated the Holy Land”
Mate, you’ve literally bulldozed our war graves in Gaza
attending a protest = "antagonising police" is very literally and precisely the gaslighting doublespeak of the fascist Trump government. I really don't make that comparison lightly but this is systemic, deep institutional collapse
you don't gotta hand it to the champion fundraiser for advance australia at all, but you're absolutely right. it's a bit like when people say minns or malinauskas is "bought". no, they're ideologues. true believers. or cynical enough to proceed as if they were. that's much worse imo
the guardian trying to muscle in on ninefax's core business of obsequiousness
he is not wrong but it's also a completely empty statement if he's not prepared to sit on the cross bench
the thing is, mr lennon's family are wealthy property-developers, & whereas poor sh!tkvnce might get into trouble for this kinda thing, he has social license to do whatever he wants; point being, how many of these upper-class twits are attracted to nazism is a useful index of its threat potential.
we’re told to value cohesion right up until someone asks to be paid, housed, or listened to.
as long as “social cohesion” is indistinguishable from “shut up and do what you’re told” the *only* moral response is to refuse.
if you don't leave the labor party now doug you should just shut the fuck up because the only people who agree with you already have or never fell for their scam in the first place
I get the contemporary analogy but comparing Australian police brutality to ICE is erasing a long, hard-earned, history for the Aussie rozzers.
The world is so much poorer for not having Jon Kudelka in it
Here's a threat of Kudelka Gold
putting on a show for the honoured guest
compared to the house of windsor, or any british public school, epstein was putting up rookie numbers
ending of system of a down's mr jack plays on repeat
the venn diagram between riot squad officers & guys who want to join the national socialist network is almost a perfect circle
it's all a bit late for that now
haha ok mr fleming, I think the nsw police riot squad can successfulky identify kkhhaaaammmaassss when they see them
chris minns absolute flossing his taint with peter malinauskas in the who can suck the hole of a foreign head of state with greater passion & conviction competition
