Gotta say, that’s a new one for me haha. Leeching the sun of its energy huh?

It’s always been that simple, problem is like half of conservatives in parliament are actively misinforming the public with their Murdoch assigned opinions of renewable energy being a “”rort””.

That’s probably what he told them when they turned up to his house and asked “hey why the fuck does this photo show a child driving your car on the highway without a seatbelt”. Doesn’t sound exaggerated imo and the charges match. If someone lacks the forethought to not let a kid who’s brain isn’t halfway finished developing operate several tonnes of motor vehicle on the highway, they probably did the interview off the cuff without talking to a solicitor.

I was similar to OP, we were taught to drive on private property due to living in regional areas but always supervised and never near public roads. One of my parents worked in a regional hospital during their training/residency days. The stories involving motor vehicle accidents I’ve heard definitely were enough for me to understand why it’s taken seriously.

The human body doesn’t do well when ejected through a windshield at highway speeds due to not wearing a seatbelt. Doesn’t do many favours to the psyche of those who have to clean up/try to save them afterwards either.

Another time this users just drops by with some “facts” of a particular persuasion only to vanish without any clarification despite posting every other hour. Seems to be a bit of a pattern.

Their rhetoric is very much Nazi aligned. Have a look at their longer comment in here. Claiming to be taken out of context and that meaning “not evening crossing” their mind, before immediately stating they did mean the “living space” remark in a genocidal manner. Just on behalf of the Palestinians.

To claim those being genocided are actually the ones who are genocidal, which implies post-hoc justification of Israel actions against them (alongside the protestor rally tangent), is Nazi behaviour.

To respond to someone providing the figures for the appalling number of civilian casualties over a short time frame with “at this rate it would take 300 hundred years to exterminate 2 million of them ” is Nazi adjacent behaviour.

Maybe they’re just a particularly uninformed Zionist. However, neo nazis don’t typically wander around saying “that hitler guy is pretty swell amirite guys”. They excel in skirting around moderation online and irl. Hence the nazi bar anecdote; they use free speech as a shield and coded language/dog whistles. If they aren’t a Nazi their behaviour and rhetoric needs some serious introspection.

Edit: I spent too much time going through their post history. Given they post all throughout the day, say they “work at home 7 days a week” and their references to their age; I would guess they’re a retiree that mainlines sky news or adjacent media. Given the boomer - social media to alt-right, brain rot pipeline - checks out with a lot of their remarks on Muslim’s/the Arabic sphere.

OK. So you took my comment totally out context.

Wat, am I missing something here. Doesn’t really seem out of context at all. Seems like you’re claiming it was an ironic remark on behalf of the Palestinians, accusing them of genocidal intent with the chant? Misinterpreted maybe. Which is shown by:

You know who else I have heard use the concept living space? A Rwandan. I met a Rwandan when I was a member/speaker at the Marxist Institute in nyc. I asked why he did it, he said it was traditionally their land and they needed the land to live. I was shocked and asked, Even children.

So you know it has at least genocidal connotations then? Which seems to contradict.

what you wrote never even crossed my mind.

From a quick interpretation it seems you’re claiming “I was making an ironic remark implying people being genocided are the ones being genocidal, not a Nazi dog whistle.” Which ya know, the first kinda contradict the second.

The rest, i.e the protest stuff is anecdotal and even if it did happen, doesn’t really add anything to this particular discussion. Given a lot of comments under the post OP is referencing seem to question the meaning of your comment maybe providing context there would have been the move. For all the good it would have done.

Sorry the wording is jank. To clarify I mean the government (in)actions on Palestine justifying pro Palestine activism despite me stating my weariness with it. As in “hard to complain about the activism when the government continuously necessitates it” to a degree.

A profound lack of awareness or an actual troll.

“I don’t want to engage with Nazis.”

“You should engage. How else will you change my, I mean, their mind.”

That’s the thing. It annoys me because it justifies it, if you get what I mean. Israel’s actions are that of a genocidal rogue state and yet the government seems to be more concerned about policing activist than overtly stating that what Israel is doing is wrong. Like plenty of “Israel has a right to defend itself” at the start but now practically crickets when Gaza has been bombed into oblivion, disproportional civilian casualties and starving them out. Don’t get me started on the fact that Netanyahu has conned the US’ dope in chief into assisting them widen the campaign to Iran.

As much as I tire of pro Palestine activism in Aussie spaces, as no one is really going to disagree with it beyond minor things (like terrible slogan choices for example), that dude is definitely Zionist leaning towards Nazi. The all caps liar in response to old mate vastly understating initial incursion numbers and using the term exterminate in a subsequent “not enough ovens” type reply is pretty telling. Before I read the older thread I assumed it ironic as well but now I doubt it.

What an absolute mad lass, I hope she gets shouted beers and/or court fees in lieu of payment for fixing the installation.

Ah that’s my bad then.

I agree somewhat but only for former members where it’s apparent they no longer have ties to that world. Like those videos you see of former professional criminals explaining how stuff works. Usually it’s because they’ve been arrested and given evidence against their former “colleagues” and/or have long been away from that life. This doesn’t appear to be true for Mahmood.

However, it’s important to remember the guy making all the accusations is untrustworthy so we will need to wait to see how much is true.

What Jordan? How is he the is guy untrustworthy in this? The same crime family that attempted to have him killed is the family this “journalist” still has ties to??

A fair point, I should have specified former member of organised crime. Especially since they still seem to care about their standing with current organised criminals.

Oh yeah fishy shit is happening in multiple states. Never mind in NT the attorney general has a relative get off with a slap on the wrist for running someone down and then bragging about it after the fact; is now trying limit freedom of information request on politicians. Nothing odd there.

Man way more than that needs to happen. Like multiple people in all involved orgs need to be sacked and investigated. Anyone who allowed a former criminal to be hired into the ABC. Anyone in NSWPol who sat on this or didn’t actively pursue further arrests re the firebombing. Furthermore, threatening to kill people is a crime. One which ABC has abetted and another the police have neither investigated nor charged. If someone were to make these threats against a politician (or burn their house down), they would immediately have a very bad time.

Let’s not forget Jordan was followed by a state surveillance team (FPU) for making YouTube videos about politicians. Dude gets his house burned down and a crime family, well integrated into real estate (and now the ABC by extension, apparently) gets crickets. Our tax dollars have paid for this outcome thus far.

Edit: Oh and an even more terrifying prospect. Had Jordan burned to death in that firebombing, he wouldn’t be alive to point out the extent to which this has been ignored and it would be forgotten by now. One person might have gone to prison for murder tops and that would have been the end of it.

I don’t see how the communist remark is relevant. Social media has proliferated largely unchecked. They are potentially damaging platforms, especially for younger people. That’s ignoring the rampant misinformation. I mean have a look at X and the “your body my choice” nonsense. I’m surprised people are genuinely advocating for the multimillion dollar corporations being in charge rather than our government.
