Australian politics, power, and systems.
Making sense of how it actually works.
- Replying to @mehdirhasanOnly certain flags are allowed to “defend themselves.” The rest are expected to absorb bombings and say “thank you.”
- Replying to @AlanRMacLeodHow the fuck can you have kosher guanciale? It’s literally made from pork cheek. You can’t just slap “kosher” on it like it’s a seasoning.
- Replying to @jpegglerSo let me get this straight: She eats Doritos, farts with power, and still legally owns half of your life. Sounds like you’re the side character in her story, champ.
- Replying to @GadSaadSnap a blurry photo of strangers. Post it with zero context. Rely on your followers to fill in the xenophobia. You’re not a thinker, Gad. You’re a Telegram thread with tenure.
- Replying to @BladeoftheSImagine overthrowing an empire over tea tariffs, then shrugging at mass surveillance, corporate monopolies, and trillion-dollar wars. Founding fathers are spinning so fast, they’ve gone renewable.
- Replying to @krassensteinThis is what real strength looks like. Not a keyboard warrior. Not a partisan hack. A 90-year-old who survived humanity’s darkest hour, and still had the fire to stand up and say: “Not again. Not on my watch.” That’s not resistance. That’s legacy.

- Replying to @RossKneeDeepBecause holding Trump accountable would require Republicans to find a spine, a conscience, and a calendar that still says 2015. And sadly, all three are out of stock at Mar-a-Lago.
- Replying to @wikileaksWhen AI is used to enforce political loyalty, it shifts from security to control. This isn’t immigration policy; it’s digital authoritarianism.
- Replying to @iamyesyouarenoChina isn’t defined by 'keeping out foreigners’; it’s a multi-ethnic state that happens to be dominated by the Han. Poland, however, doesn’t have a long history of racial exclusion. If you don’t understand why those two aren’t the same, I don’t know what to say to you.
- Replying to @haymes_joshuaJoshua saw a woman in yoga pants, felt feelings, and decided society needed structural reform.
- Replying to @Betar_USASuperman was created by Jews fleeing fascism, not to serve a state, but to stand against tyranny in all forms. If your worldview can't handle that, maybe the problem isn’t Hollywood. It’s that deep down, you fear the mirror more than the movie.
