Nah, it’s funny ribbing them over their egotistical exceptionalism. you know they almost named their country freedonia?

Imagine meeting a German who refers to themselves as a Eurasian, cringe shit that is.

We can have a little pogrom against usaians as a treat.

Hnngh hnngh yes yes quite the unwashed masses need to be kept far from power hmm yes Tallyho good man hmm hmm.

Whitlam. No competition, most good things in Australia can be traced to the government under him and very few bad things.

Yeah recency bias is always a thing.

I would also add the subtly that this question:

On the whole, are you very satisfied, fairly satisfied, not very satisfied, or not at all satisfied with the way democracy works in Australia?

Is not “do you want more or less democracy?”. We only nominally have a democracy, we can’t for example fire a government (non violently) that broke all it’s promises. We can’t force certain bills to be presented or not, we can’t directly vote on any issue, our workplaces are almost exclusively dictatorial. Even within the system we have defects like the popular vote to seat count being completely whack because of single member seats in the lower house (very unusual among democracies).

Saying you are dissatisfied could mean you’re an authoritarian dickwad, but so could saying you’re satisfied. People who want more democracy, lots of citizen involvement, and more accurate representation of the people are not against democracy but would also say they’re very unsatisfied. I mean society is getting measureably worse while we careen into a global crisis of apocalyptic proportions, who the fuck things this is working?

Once again you come down on the side of facts with admins behaving as reactionaries over veganism.

Here is a press release for the protest as proof I did not post any actual animal abuse.

https://www.peta.org.au/news/peta-barbecues-a-dog-in-a-sydney-shopping-mall/

It’s a photograph of a PETA protest posted to vegancirclejerk which endorses this sort of protest.

The image specifically has the text “vegan” in it, and the dog is a prop.

Given this instance endorses animal abuse for the purpose of food, what are the grounds for the ban? The vcj admin can remove the post if they feel it goes against the community (it doesn’t), people post bodyparts of animals to this instance all the time.

If footage of vegan protests is against the rules, that should be made explicit.

Anything veganism (positive)
