Bait-y statement to try and prompt emotional responsePrimes reader for anger response and justifies it by calling it righteous.

We're kind of in disbelief about the absurdity of American voters and the level of stupidity and maliciousness on full display, but we're also absurd. We can dislike a population without disliking the individuals. You're not going to be harassed just because your country is acting aggressively stupid. (2)

Canadians aren't angry at average Americans. You're our neighbors and closest allies. The issue is with your government disrespecting our politicians and sovereignty, not with the average person. Most people here understand that the general public isn't to blame for this. Unless someone comes in spewing nonsense and supporting a "takeover" of Canada, there's no real problem. You might get the occasional comment about it, but our frustration is directed at your male feminist tyrant, not Americans as a whole. (1)

The irony that the company which owns a bar called the 'Colonist' has a problem with Australia Day.

Support the country you live in, or live in the country you support

I can support the country I live in while also recognising that sovereign territory of the indigenous population was invaded and choosing not to celebrate the anniversary of that invasion.

It must have been the only invasion fleet in history where the soldiers' guns were trained on those inside the ships.

Many invasions have used slaves or prisoners captured in previous invasions to bolster their ranks but I don't think that's what you're getting at. You seem to be making a point about Australia being used as a penal colony which we all know is correct however possession by the colonialists was declared as unilateral on the basis that few people lived here. When it became apparent that there was a sizeable population of people already having possession of the land with their own languages, boundaries, political hierarchy and use of said land then it effectively became an invasion. snip because leftist_meme.jpg

If it's not banned by the government, it's private businesses making decisions about their own business. Personally I think we should sign a treaty on Jan 27 and have a New Australia Day right after Old Australia Day and everyone from every political background can have a big hug at midnight

Woke ideology is dying off. Give up

Woke ideology was a label made by people filled with hate for those with empathy. It'll die off as you do.

Then it wouldn't be Australia Day, it would be 'Treaty Day' that focuses on Indigenous Australians, not all Australians like it should do. If it needs to be changed it should be to the date when Australia actually became a united country, January 1st. Although if we're being honest the same people who moan about 'Invasion Day' will continue to moan about whatever new date that comes up too. They hate the very concept of 'Australia' and see it as an illegitimate colonial entity built on 'stolen land'. There is no pleasing them short of a complete collapse of the nation itself.

Well a treaty is between two or more groups so it would focus on more than just indigenous. January 26th is UK centric. I don't have Anglo ancestry and don't feel any attachment to the 26th.

You should. It's the start of modern Australia. The transition from the stone age.

It was the day a bunch of British sheep thieves started building a prison. It's a pretty silly reason to commemorate the "start of Australia" January 1st or the day we become a Republic. Actually Australia Day

So it begins. Patriots vs Globalists.

The day pommies squatted here is an un-Australian day for Australia Day.

|

A patriotic Australian would not celebrate their national day on a date when British ships carrying British convicts established a British penal colony under a British flag. The word "Australia" wasn't even in use until the early 1800s.

The woke mind virus can't influence us. We see through the delusion.

On the contrary, use of term like "woke mind virus" is a cpear indicator of delusion.

Being patriotic is a fricking embarrassment. What are you? A seppo?

What's embarrassing about loving your country?

Seems like you don't have any personality or anything else going on in your life

You sound like an edgy teenager still in the middle of a phase

Found the globalist.

What's your definition of a globalist?

Somebody that wants a one world government. A world without borders or diversity.

Oh, well that's not what I am. Nice try though champ keep it up!

Your actions say otherwise.

You've never met me nor do you know anything about me. Are all patriots as stupid as you?

Yeah I know. I can only hope others do the same. Telstra is another company I avoid. Ubisoft, Logitech in the PC space.

Lol what do Ubisoft and Logitech have to do with Australia Day?

Meh, Australia hasn't done much worth celebrating for in decades anyways

Compared to where, for example? North Korea? You've just dismissed the sweat and hard work and talent of twenty five million people!

What about the invention of Vegemite? Weetabix? Chico Rolls? Wifi? Lolly Gobble Bliss Bombs? Pavlova? Hey Hey It's Saturday? Aussie Rules Footy? Chicken Parmi? Holdens?

Notice I included WiFi? WE invented it. At least, it was invented at the CSIRO. And that has certainly changed the world we all live in.

Why is there a competition between pieces of ground with imaginary lines drawn around them?

What a sad state our country is in at the moment. Can't even celebrate Australia Day.

Yes you can, no one is stopping you celebrating. Stop acting like a boomer sook.

Actually, a lot of things stop us celebrating. This is one, the other is how you can't say "Happy Australia Day" without the snowflakes crying "invasion day" "you stole our land" etc.

You sound like the one that's crying mate.

Maybe get out more and you'll see I'm right.

I used to not give a frick. Just drink cans somewhere. Now I do something deliberately. Cause and effect in play.

Ah, the response of a child.

We were no longer allowed to passively enjoy the day. Like all politicised shit in the country we were encouraged to pick a side. That's cause and effect.

Who was stopping you from passively enjoying the day?

This is all necessary because our school system has been overtaken by "woke" and we don't produce the best anymore. We rank much lower than most countries on test scores. China and India are now beating us in producing these people.

I need DC asap because the casino is fricking rigged, so you're getting a movie review! This movie is like two years old now and I still think about it to this day, not because of the pornographic scene, but because of the storyline.

The whole idea behind the movie is that a 30 year old dommie-mommie is broke asl and needs to pay property taxes to keep her mom's house. Instead of selling it off, she wants to keep it because of the NOSTALGIA o algo. To get the money, she finds a craigslist offer about a family who's giving away a car for a hot single in their area to "date" their son. The whole reason behind this is that their son is an incel (not a he-man woman hater incel) and they want to get him used to socializing before he's sent off to college. After this, the movie is mostly comedic filler that doesn't really expand on the story, but is still fun to watch. She goes to the place that the son is working at (as the parents don't want him to know it's all staged) and tries seducing him. I forgot how it happens but she ends up getting him in some van and he pepper-sprays her thinking she's going to r*pe him (friggin sweet!). The only other memorable part is the scene on the beach where they go skinny dipping for some reason, a group of teens steal their clothes and a NAKED JENNIFER LAWRENCE beats the shit out of them. After that she tries having s*x with the incel but he refuses, so she then steals HIS clothes and tries to drive off which results in him jumping on her (borrowed) car and fighting for some reason. The scene is both funny and arousing (to me at least). I also now permanently associate Maneater with this scene, which is somewhat nice.

Later in the movie, the incel finds true love and ALMOST has s*x with someone who wasn't trying to use him, but SHE ends up barging in and ending anything that was going on between them. The next day, the incel overhears his parents conversing with the MC about how she needs to convince him to go to college and not stay with the actual love of his life. In a fit of rage, he calls over his groomercord buddy to crash the reward car and tries to scam her into having s*x. He ends up prematurely ejaculating because WHO WOULDN'T? The movie then becomes boring as they retract from the main point about the incel and go back to the MC's useless self-inflicted issue about paying off the house. She decides to sell the house and move to California because her friends are moving away too and this makes her start to think if soying over nostalgia is actually productive to her life.

This movie did have it's own fair share of drama (albeit wasn't that big) where the film was accused of normalizing grooming.

Xhe almost has a point, the part where it falls flat though is that I would be happy to be in his position.

During the whole movie, I felt a huge connection with this dude. I suggest giving it a watch if you're ever in need of a laugh/feeling down/feeling romantical.

No, cruel, emotionally unsafe humans as YOURSELF make this world a worse place. How unkind of a human you must be, I feel bad for those around you. You have no empathy.OP, is also a horrible person. He literally sentenced a cat to death. That cat will be put down within a week at a kill shelter. All shelters this time of year are at full capacity. The cat did nothing wrong and now will die terrified after being taken from his home and locked in a 5x5 cage until he's sentenced to death. You are literally saying OP was RIGHT to do this then you have the nerve to insult the person above and call them "miserable" for having empathy. This is a living breathing animal who experiences pain and hurt and loss and was doing cat things, and was raised by a bad cat owner so it's not his fault, yet being sentenced to death for being who he was created to be.

Where the heck do you live? Basically all outdoor cats I have ever known were at least 15 when they died. Do people shoot them in your neighborhood or something like that? (17)

Your personal anecdotes don't really mean anything. But since you are bringing them up, I live in a city/suburb where people "own" outdoor cats. We do not shoot cats, we don't poison cats, we don't have coyotes patrolling the area. I see a cat plastered on the road literally every single week. I literally only travel the same roads (2 miles) ever. So this one single path has around 30-60 dead cats a year. I had an outdoor cat get killed right in front of my house as a child by a car at night. The cats fight each other, they are killed by cars, diseases, etc. I'm not sure how old the outdoor cats live because usually one day they're just gone, don't really have any bodies to find. The statistics tell the same story, so for every 15 yo outdoor cat you know, I know 50 dead young cats on the street. Horrible sight to see literal kittens dead for no other reason than humanity who let them end up like this. (14)

Is this what cancel culture achieved : The Atlantic

Over the weekend, the artist and entrepreneur Kanye West, now known as Ye, let loose a blitzkrieg of appalling screeds to his 33 million followers on X. "IM A NAZI," he proclaimed. He reiterated his position that "SLAVERY WAS A CHOICE," contended that "JEWS WERE BETTER AS SLAVES YOU HAVE TO PUT YOUR JEWS IN THEIR PLACE AND MAKE THEM INTO YOUR SLAVES," implied that domestic violence is a self-sacrificing form of love, and shared a screengrab tallying the sales receipts for a White Lives Matter T-shirt sold on his Yeezy website. By Monday, the only product for sale on the site was a white T-shirt adorned with a black swastika, and his X account had been deleted.

Remarkably, this was not the highest-stakes or most widely discussed racist controversy on that social-media platform during the same time frame. On Friday, Vice President J. D. Vance defended Marko Elez, a 25-year-old employee of Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency office, who was revealed to have posted (pseudonymously), "I was racist before it was cool," "You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity," and "Normalize Indian hate."

When Ro Khanna, the Indian American representative from California, inquired of Vance—whose wife and children are of Indian descent—whether, "for the sake of both of our kids," he would ask Elez for an apology, Vance became apoplectic. Toward Khanna. "For the sake of both of our kids? Grow up," he fumed on X. "Racist trolls on the internet, while offensive, don't threaten my kids. You know what does? A culture that denies grace to people who make mistakes. A culture that encourages congressmen to act like whiny children."

Elez resigned from his post, and Musk asked his 217 million followers on X what they thought: Should he be reinstated? Almost 80 percent of those who replied said yes. Later that day, Musk confirmed that Elez would be "brought back" to DOGE. Not only was a self-professed racist like Elez not canceled—on the contrary, he was transformed overnight by some of the most powerful (and pugnacious) men in America into a national cause célèbre.

Incidentally, this was the same week that Andreessen Horowitz, the Silicon Valley venture-capital firm, announced that it had hired Daniel Penny as "a Deal Partner" working on its "American Dynamism team." Penny, a former Marine, was acquitted of criminally negligent homicide after he held a mentally ill man in a choke hold on the subway, and the man died. In an internal memo reported by The New York Times, an Andreessen Horowitz partner praised him for showing "courage in a tough situation."

If a vogue for virtue signaling defined the 2010s and early 2020s, peaking in 2020 during the feverish summer of protest and pandemic—a period in which pronouns in bio, land acknowledgments, black squares, diversity statements, and countless other ethical performances became a form of social capital—something like the exact photonegative of that etiquette has set in now. The reassertion of brute reactionary power in the dual ascendancy of Donald Trump and Elon Musk has brought us to a cultural tipping point. Virtue be darned: Now we are living in an era of relentless, unapologetic vice signaling. Of all of Ye's deranged posts, one was particularly confusing. "DO YALL THINK I CAN TURN THE TIDE ON ALL THIS WOKE POLITICALLY CORRECT SHIT," he asked. Here it seemed the infamous trendsetter was decidedly behind the times.

After a decade and a half of progressive dominance over America's agenda-setting institutions—corporations, universities, media, museums—during which everyone was on the lookout for the scantest evidence of racism, sexism, xenophobia, transphobia, and every other interpersonal and systemic ill, it is not at all frivolous to ask what has been achieved. What, to put it bluntly, was all that cancel culture for?

If the genuine but ill-conceived goal was to create a kinder, friendlier, more inclusive and equitable world for all (often paradoxically by means of shaming, coercion, and intimidation), the real-world effect has been an abysmal rightward overcorrection in which norms of decency have been gleefully obliterated. We have not merely been delivered back to the pre-woke era of the early 2000s. Nor is what we're seeing some insubstantial vibe shift in manners and aesthetics, confined to the internet.

Consider: We had a #MeToo movement characterized by sometimes disproportionate reputational sacrifices; now we have a presidential Cabinet populated by men with credible sexual-assault accusations on their records. The stifling racist/anti-racist binary of the anti-racism movement has led to the wholesale dismantling of DEI initiatives in both the government and the private sector. The insistence that "no human is illegal" has ended with an unconstitutional attempt to retract birthright citizenship. And the push not just for tolerance but for the equivalence of trans athletes with cisgender athletes has culminated with the president banishing "gender ideology" and surrounding himself with a multiethnic crowd of beaming girls to sign the "No Men in Women's Sports" executive order. On every single issue that mattered to them, progressives now find themselves in a weaker position than before.

In The Opium of the Intellectuals, the French sociologist Raymond Aron observed that utopian programs are "refuted not so much by their failure as by the successes they have achieved." In the blistering weeks since Trump's inauguration, we can say that this has been axiomatically true of the movement we look back on now as "wokeness."

For the next three months, they remained in contact, before she said the groom invited her to a "white party" in Sydney in December, the court heard. She said after arriving at the venue she was "shocked" to learn the man had "organised a wedding".

The bride said she became uncomfortable and wanted to leave, but the groom told her "it was a simple prank".

"He told me that he's organising a prank wedding for his social media. To be precise, Instagram, because he wants to boost his content and wants to start monetising his Instagram page."

In court, footage of the ceremony was played, showing the couple exchanging vows and rings.

While the bride appeared to "enthusiastically" participate in the ceremony, she told the court it was "all an act".

"We had to act to make it look real," she said.

She said she only discovered the "sham" wedding was legal after he asked her to add his name to her application for permanent residency. She said the groom told her he was not a permanent resident and he had "organised the marriage to help him".

But the groom – who has 17,000 followers on Instagram but denied he was a social media influencer – disputed her version of events.

He testified that immediately after they met, he had told her he was bisexual, and that she was "cool with it" and moved into his home.

>bby I'm a bisexual illegal immigrant but I am NOT an influencer

"Precisely why she would participate in a civil marriage and not in a church marriage ceremony went unexplored. It made no sense to me that she would."

Stupid boomer judge, she did it for the 'gram!
