Another fucking spree shooting. Great.

If you need further evidence that this is stoked by mainstream politicians and media and amplified by global tech, one ammunition clip had "for Rotherham" written on it. I'm going to hazard a guess that the gunman had never met anyone from Rotherham, been there or even heard of it before the grooming gang story hit the news.

I didn't realise that one guy from the mosque jumped on the gunman and disarmed him. Fucking hero.

if he is still senator this time tomorrow then there's no hope really, is there

How do you expect the constitution of a country to be fundamentally rewritten and enacted in less than one working day?

He may have meant the other way to make someone not a senator.

Not sure that calling for the murder of a bigot in his own home is a practical response to this situation.

(Either the situation in Chch or the situation of Anning’s appointment.)

I meant firing the bastard but maybe there's no way to do that

It took you guys 800 years to figure out a way to fire members of your upper house, and they’re not even elected

One of my lib friends just tweeted Paul Joseph Watson in agreement.

What alternate reality is this

the one where you give your friend a good talking to

Ohh did i

Basically today is a bad day to internet

it really is

I just looked up Paul Joseph Watson and now wish I hadn't.

why would your lib friend do that? or did PJW say something not offensive?

It was a post where he was replying to someone who tweeted that all 4chan users should be on a watch list by saying this was another example of the left's hypocrisy and that it's no better than banning Muslims.

Except he was obv saying it to once again frame liberals badly and get heat off of people like himself

Really wish both Watson and Matt Walsh would get Locked-In syndrome

on platforming leading to this: I've been saying for 23 years now that if it hadn't been a slow news day on September 11th, her nonsense would have been yesterday's chip wrapping if it was covered at all, and she would have wafted out of parliament without a trace two years later. she'd already been disendorsed before the election, ffs.

but instead, covering her like a clown show enabled her literally incoherent message to spread*, for Our Bannon and Our Manafort, the Davids, to see some comfortable coattails to ride and to bring half a notion of marketing to. within a year, what had gotten her kicked out of the White People Please party, though not off the ballot, had become public discourse. could Howard have gotten away with Children Overboard, and a subsequent 18 years of torturing and starving brown people for marketing purposes, without that shift? fuck no, imo. She even blamed her 2001 senate bid failing on Howard stealing her policies!

then after fifteen years failing to get back in, she figures out that nobody's frightened of Vietnamese invading / indigenous people getting reparations anymore, switches to claiming that eating kebab & chip takeaways is a plot to convert schoolkids to terrorism, gets into the Senate with a pack of nutbags so racist that even she cuts ties with them, while wearing a burqa into parliament to prove that all Muslims are terrorists.

Decades in the public eye without being able to construct a sentence, or to evince any policy other than "I don't like it," but she gets to keep getting TV and paper coverage because she's ostensibly entertaining in her stupidity.

And now Anning, with his 19 votes, gets to sit for five years on $200,000 pa doing literally nothing except issuing statements like this every couple of months.

what a crazy idea

NZ PM just now: "Our gun laws will change."

— David Mack (@davidmackau) March 15, 2019

For about 2 years I've been hailing NZ gun laws as an approachable first step towards gun law reform in the US. As I understood it, prospective gun purchasers must apply for a firearms licence, renewable at 10 year intervals. To be approved, there's a background check, as well as an interview and visit by a govt rep to confirm there's a gun safe on premises. Thereafter, those with licences would not ordinarily need add'l background checks before purchasing firearms.

And the historical record was enviable. Until last night.

doing literally nothing except

well, and billing taxpayers $3k for him to fly business class to white supremacist rallies 2,000 km away from his constituents

oh look he flew 2000k to another state again

At Anning's rally today in Melbourne a supporter of his noted the Christchurch shooter was a 28-year-old and one of the "younger generation taking up the fight". Anning responded by saying the shooter was "a little on the crazy side, but yeah."

if it had been, say, a hand grenade rather than an egg, we'd have all gotten our wishes

will take the egg tho

Multiple xps Sadiq otm. No doubt he’s tough as nails but he’s such a lightning rod for the fash that I honestly fear for his safety when you see some of the shit out there about him.

This kid is a hero. I love how after he's smacked in the head he keeps the camera up with one hand and jabs with the other.

If you see the whole thing it's a truly brilliant bit of egging because he'd been standing behind him for some time, looking really blank and anonymous, like some random Joe who just happens to have been caught in camera - he didn't just barrel up, all eggs blazing. He bides his time, gets his phone prepared, and then very coolly eggs this hateful ugly moron. I'm lost in admiration for this young man.

Also, I know this guy isn't exactly in the market for popularity contests, but a burly middle-aged man slapping and kicking a scrawny schoolboy is nagl.

Now that is a very good white boy.

So good, in fact, that he invites comparison with a dog.

Really wish the crowd had done something to stop that chokehold.

it's amazing what can be done when a country isn't run by NRA and populated with a bunch of angry people who are really into their right to organize into armed militias

I'm assuming the crowd were all his fash mates?

I saw one of them named as a previously convicted Neo-Nazi.

People need to stop with this ‘Anning only got 19 votes’ thing. That ginger fascist fuck and her mates got 250,000 first preference votes in queenland alone and well over 400,000 votes including preferences. Thats’s that many nazis and fellow travellers in Queensland alone, That’s a massive problem and this environment of closet fascism and acceptable racism is all to pervasive in Australia and the one that the shooter grew up in.

100s of thousands of people are willing to tick a box for rascists, anti-immigrant and out and out fascist candidates, many even members of the major parties (even labor has its legitimate concerners) and this is a major problem.

Agree. The "only 19 votes" thing is a misunderstanding of how the voting system works for the senate. You don't have to vote for individual candidates, you can just vote for a party list. And hundreds of thousands voted for the list on which Anning's name figured.

I did write four paragraphs about her, and the poison that coverage of her has normalised and spread. I'm noting that Anning keeps going to white power rallies in other states on taxpayers' $, not even the one where he sort of got some votes.

The parallels between her being kicked out of the party in 1996 for being too much of a racist nutbag but staying on their ballot, and Anning getting accidentally appointed in 2017 from being on her 2016 ballot, but declining to enter with her party (and then joining and getting booted from the Cut Snake party for being too much of a racist nutbag) are worth observing, I think.

(As is the fact that despite the horrendous fact of her getting herself as a full-termer and three half-term senators in on the Vague Racist Waffle vote from the double dissolution, she managed to lose FOUR of those three within two years, the double-up being within her own state. A lot of low-information voters and frothing racist arseholes alike are willing to number a box, but the swivel-eyed dickheads they're electing don't even have the competence to keep talking to each other, let alone to think about how to organise fascism.)

You are arguing against the article that says it’s a trolling meme by saying no, it’s actually a trolling meme? Well trolled.
