Sounds like ARMA, walk for an hour and get shot from God knows where. Just like real life!

As others have stated, we explicitly don't have free speech in Australia.

We also don't have any laws requiring political campaigns to be truthful. And as we saw, the day after the vote was done. All the leaders of the "No" campaign flat out abandoned indigenous people and explicitly said they wouldn't be fronting a new referendum for recognition in the constitution without the voice. A promise they made repeatedly.

The leader of the opposition who spearheaded the no campaign has been called a fascist by his peers. And once commented that if elected he would do away with parliament and elections if he could.

It doesn't matter. 63% support among indigenous folks is still a landslide.

You're not arguing in good faith though. Accusing someone of racism like that. So you can go fuck yourself for all I care.

80% indigenous support polled prior to the campaigns starting. After a relentless campaign of misinformation courtesy of Murdoch. The actual number that voted yes was 63%.

In regional Aus, there is a popular, free-to-air, 24/7 Murdoch-run news outlet, Sky News Australia, not to be confused with Sky News. It is right of Fox News, closer to OAN.

Yeah, usually if I get stuck in my head I'll just go work in the garden. Bit of sunshine and toil usually gets me unstuck.

The rule for all memes like this:

If you're like "yeah I sometimes do that," then you're likely just a normie. If you do stuff like this all the time, every time, well, maybe...

Over 63% of indigenous people voted in favour of the voice.

You are repeating propoganda.

Australia is way more racist than the US. And more right-wing.

The US just doesn't have compulsory voting, which means a minority of nutjobs can dictate politics. And even then, Trump lost.

Australia has compulsory voting and voted this way lol.

US is going through a labour organising revolution right now. While unions are left in the cold and experience dwindling power in Aus, even with the Labor party in power.

Yeah, folks are super reasonable compared to other social media sites, for the most part. The occassional nutter isn't propped up by some PR company bot net to drive engagement so they just end up downvoted into oblivion.

It's refreshing.

Yeah I've got arms like an orangutan. Despite the amount of stuff I've smashed my watch 5 pro against it's still scratch and scuff free.
