    disloyalty

    No, you’re talking one up and the other down. I’d imagine you’d want to be in the one you prefer.

    I could have been much more flattering…

    Go ahead then. I doubt too many would share your view.

    just describing reality

    Not really. It’s much, much better to live in Australia than it is Russia. We can call out the Zionist stuff you’re going in about. Try that shit in Russia.

      it sounds like you don’t distinguish between australians and ‘Australia’.

      One is a group of people that (if you live here) probably includes everyone you like, know and love, including your immediate family. The other is a nation which exists within a historical and material context, one which can and must be criticised as a matter of civic duty.

      Which country recently passed legislation restricting speech on behalf of the zionist entity? the one you live in or the one you read about in australian media?

        At no point did I say I agreed with any or every position that my country’s government takes, in fact I voted with a lot of that in mind.

        I think I can take great confidence however in saying that this country is far better, far fairer and much more safer to live in than Russia.

        Go on with tankie shit as much as you like, but this really isn’t a comparison.

          Where does your confidence even come from? western media? the same media which serves the epstein class?

          Also you realise that russia is not a communist country right? so accusing me of being a ‘tankie’ here doesn’t really make sense…

          I know it’s painful to hear something that isn’t reinforced culturally on the ABC but australia is not a sovereign country, whereas russia is. It is really is that simple. Live wherever you want, prefer whichever country you want, but reality will still be reality.
