Uggh. What is
wrong with people?? I just don't get this shit. This thread's so depressing. It always smacks reality straight into my face.
While I'm in here,Australia's getting a nasty rep for this shit. It's going to get worse with our current right wing cunt government, they're already trying to dismantle racial discrimination law despite polls showing >80% of the voting public are opposed. We've had public statements like "bigotry is a right, not a crime". That kind of shit hasn't been seen in Australian politics in my lifetime.
This was 1975 when Gough Whitlam returned traditional lands to their rightful owners for the first time in our history. I was 4. Aborigines were classified under the Native Fauna Act until they got the right to vote in 1967 - it was passed by Referendum so even in the 60's the vast majority of Australians didn't think like these bastards.
From that to this
The memes deadly serious too. We're fucked. Somehow the most racist bastards in Australia managed to get voted into government.
I guess I'd better hope they don't have spies on MDS. They're already screening parenting forums.
... hmm, I am having an awful lot of trouble getting online lately.
