I took one look at the article, saw they had a screenshot from the livestream, couldn't stand to read a word.
As a Muslim from NZ, that shit is fucking traumatising, fuck every publication that puts his name and face up.
That's fucked, and I can only imagine the fear. Stay strong comrade.
Kinda think that not giving attention to a spree killer who very clearly wanted attention is maybe the right move, actually.
I don’t think someone this ideologically motivated, and others like him, would be stopped by keeping their name out of the newspapers. You think the 9/11 hijackers would care if we remember their names?

Are you serious? The ALP reopened Manus and Nauru in 2012 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/aug/13/australia-asylum-seekers-pacific-islands
“As of today, asylum seekers who come here by boat without a visa will never be settled in Australia''.
If that isn’t anti-immigrant rhetoric, I don’t know what is. https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/kevin-rudd-to-send-asylum-seekers-who-arrive-by-boat-to-papua-new-guinea-20130719-2q9fa.html
The ALP have been more than willing to go along with the “boat people” crap, and that’s just recent history. If you want to go back to their formative years and how they were into White Australia as much as anyone, we can. https://jacobinmag.com/2020/03/australian-labor-party-alp-white-australia-policy-bill-shorten/
Yes, I am seriously asking for a citation, because I do not know and would like to learn. I did try looking it up but couldn't immediately find anything useful.
This. I have to remind family and friends, normally smart people, that Labor have been historically just as bad when it comes to race as the Libs.
Here in Australia we have right and slightly less right.
The classic “workers party arguing for a more equal share of the spoils of empire”
That's a fair call, but the fact that Labor have one two elections in the last 3 decades makes their current strategy of 'Liberal party, but slightly less evil' pretty fucking useless. Honestly, the media might hate a change, but a coalition with the greens and pushing hard left as a hard workers party might make a difference.
:stalin-stressed:
My anti-ALP impulse is so strong I forgot the context of the fucking article I posted haha
Because a fascist terrorist would be totally bummed out about us turning him into a scary nameless monster. The whole “keep their name hidden” thing is lib shit. Should we start calling Hitler “He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named”?
