Knowing NSW police will have machine guns doesn't make me feel any safer, quite the opposite.

Labor is simultaneously talking about letting CSG, a Zionist security org with close links to the IDF, carry heavy firearms at events in Australia, and also Australians can't protest anymore... What does that feel like?? Seriously?? Anyone that isn't batshit psycho ok with this?

Cannot emphasise enough how intensely fascist / violent it is to criminalise the act of being publicly opposed to civilian murder on false pretences

It is not hyperbole at all to present these government actions as something that will cause serious harm in a bunch of different ways

Have a quiet think. Let it be a guiding lesson for you

Whatever regretful comments you may have made in your life, whatever actions you wish you could take back, let your benchmark for the lowest of the low be using the deaths of 15 people for the relaunch of your political career

Everyone knows about Ahmed al-Ahmad, the Syrian Muslim migrant who took down one gunman. Another man, a Middle Eastern refugee, ran into a firefight and kicked the gun away from the other gunman. Police shot him, and bystanders kicked him in the head while he was down, thinking he was the terrorist.

I know there's no bottom level to Australia's media but also seeing Pauline Hanson elevated to Expert Commentator status is fucking shocking considering

SHE WAS RECORDED CLAIMING AUSTRALIA'S WORST MASS SHOOTING WAS A FALSE FLAG OPERATION

Immediately memory-holed. Like it never happened.

Here’s an article from this year with the Australian gun lobby boasting that, with surging gun numbers, it was winning the fight against firearms control advocates. Blame guns. Blame anti-Semitism. Blame terrorists. Do not blame everyday Australians who marched for peace.

There are now more than 4m guns in the community – almost double the number recorded in the years after the Port Arthur massacre that prompted a national crackdown

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.

The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

Highly likely you’re going to see some garbage in the following days.
“All Muslims wants to kill us”; “the Jews deserved this cuz of Israel”

It’s also highly likely that Ahmed al Ahmed was thinking neither of those things when he decided to act.

We need more Ahmed al Ahmed’s and less garbage.

The shittest Australians you can think of are touching themselves right now. They've got engagement brain. They're thinking about posts, snap rallies and their 'brand'. They're hoping they can get a Cronulla going and hurt a bunch of random innocents while the engagement is still fresh.

The ‘T’ in STEM needs to be kicked out of the club. They’ve enabled the worst humans on Earth to drive us to the brink of societal and environmental collapse. Scientists, Engineers and Mathematicians shouldn’t be tarred with the same brush as TechBros arseholes.

Absolutely none & the most fucked up thing about this is that the rest of the msm will just roll over & pretend this is normal.

The basic rule-of-thumb for neo-Nazis is:

'Give them an inch and they'll take a mile.'

To think otherwise is either ignorant, naive, stoopid, or some combination of these (and/or worse).

Hard lessons don't come cheap.

Imagine, for a moment, what would've happened if the man who killed 2 police officers (after saying he doesn't recognise the Aus government's legitimacy) was named "Mohammed".

How would've the media reporting and language been different?

How would've the public discourse been different?
