    I read the headline as Australia was arming their journalists and I was confused by the escalation.

      That would actual be pretty funny to start with. Rubber bullet stand offs between journos and the American brown shirts. You know, before USA starts “accidentally” hitting journos with $3.5 million dollar missiles a la Israel style.

      Then Kelloggs releases a new porridge filled with red dye called “Oops! All journalists!” and taco serves it to foreign ambassadors in what would be a terrifying gesture if he didn’t spend the entire meal dancing on the table with those geriatric “I want to move but not fall over” dance moves.

      Whether you like it or not, I had a lot of fun writing this absolute bullshit XD

    Isn’t Australian society very similar to American conservative crap?

      Not nearly to the same extent as America, but in general, yes. Same direction, just less extreme.

        We also voted against the Trump crap last election, I’d imagine if America had preferential and mandatory voting they would have too

      No, Australia is already outright owned by plutocratic mining corperations. In the US they have to go through all the lobbying and buying millions of trumpcoin.

      They are. In fact, we can thank America’s largest spewer of hate (fox) on one of their homegrown assholes, Rupert Murdoch.

      Unlike the MAGA movement, most of Australia’s right wing are neither Vatnik, nor Fascist. I mean, there are those as well, like Clive Palmer, but he is a spam pest and a joke - most people think he is ridiculous. So no.
