Just like Trump in the US, Pauline Hanson is normalising the targeting of anyine who isn't from a European background.
I wonder why unfunny people think its ok to pick on minorities?

Do his balls hang low?
Do they wobble to and fro?
Can he tie them in a knot?
Can he tie them in a bow?
Can he throw them over his shoulder,
like a continental soldier?

A healthy, broadly educated population, which feels safe and secure, are incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative and authoritarian ideologies.
They need you to be sick, stupid, and scared.

you underestimate the power of mean, lots of intelligent well educated people are just mean
and they lie

I’m genuinely curious how, precisely, this is a perspective that negates my post?
Calling for the broad education of a population is a path to inoculating it against a narrow and fragile subset so scared of their shadow they need everyone to be dragged down to their level.

Because hate and feelings of superiority are like catnip to humans.

Bigotry is a way to punch down when really you’re at the bottom of the pile.

Oh so that's what they mean by "hitting the pavement."

Is giving this oxygen here really helping? Does anyone here not already know what these people are?
stylusmobilus@aussie.zone · 1 pts · 57d
Yes, because among other things we’re trying to grow the Fediverse and to do that, it needs posts and discussion.
This topic at this time is definitely worth discussion because we’ve all got work to do to keep Hanson and her party out of power.

Those people want free publicity by stiring up as much controversy as possible; especially Pauline with her brain dead arguments and stunts. People like that will continue to exist as long as their shtick continues to work.
It's probably a lot more complex than that, but it's best to just stop listening to them.

Pauline Hanson looks the best she's ever looked with her ugly racist mug covered.
hanrahan@slrpnk.net · 4 pts · 60d
and yet she leads the most popular party in Australia according to recent polls, her hate and stupidity resonate.
I had a friend say to me "she just makes sense"... and yet there is no part of me that thinks anything she speaks of makes sense
Ilandar@lemmy.today · 8 pts · 60d
I guess because, like most populists, she uses very simple messaging to dumb down complex issues so that anyone can understand them.

So fucking embarrassing.
It hits me right in the smug. We were the last sane democracy for a while there. Still plenty of time for an implosion before the next election though.
stylusmobilus@aussie.zone · 1 pts · 57d
The worst bit is there’s no polite or soft way to tell your friend which is where the division kicks in.
Hanson just punches out simple forms with grievance and no substance.

I don't even understand this. Who are they making fun of?
Kolanaki@pawb.social · 3 pts · 60d
Islamic people and Aboriginal people? 🤷♂️
auzy1@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 59d
These people are pretty much massive losers. They need people to pick on so they feel like less of a loser. Picking on a majority probably not the best idea..
Mucki@feddit.org · 4 pts · 59d
They are not unfunny. They are desperate losers in life. It's as simple as that.

What is the picture on the right from?

It's racists doing racist things. The young girl might just be playing the system to land a bullshit job as a professional hater for Pauline or Trump. She's generated enough buzz over it to get noticed.

I'd presume it's born out of being born mentally deficient and without a personality or spine. That's one of my beliefs on why bigots are the way they are.

Why the fuck you gotta mention Trump and the US? Even that shit doesn't fly here.
hanrahan@slrpnk.net · 15 pts · 60d
bullshit, Gjna is regularly at Mar -a-Largo and is a huge supporter of Trump., shed a massive ONP donor. They're different sides of the coin, denying reality doesn't change reality.
We have been at this shit for as long as the US, John Howard won over people going apeshit over Tampa and thier hate of refugees. We literally built internment camps and no one gave a shit, at least some protest in the US.

Ted Danson is repeatedly forced to apologize for a blackface skit in 1993 over here, but this would be ok? Nah. Keep on living in online-land and being a contrarian. You're good at it.
vividspecter@aussie.zone · 2 pts · 60d
One Nation are currently leading the polls. Either the majority of Australians are incredibly low information voters, or they either don't care about racism or actively support it.
Time will tell as to which it is.
MrFlibble4747@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 58d
Or the polls are bollocks!
Our MSM is somewhat sketchy and may misrepresent things or even lie.
