Briefly thought this photo was from Naarm/Melbourne in Melbourne central station. I’ll get a picture from there to compare today!

Very neat

Yeah the conscription can be pretty violent

Hmm. Being frosty cold would be nice

Flu bad. Why come I remove gunk from my nose and then there’s more gunk right away? I don’t like it. Why come body go ouchie even though I’m giving it a rest today? Unfair.

Also tissue and lozenge delivery should be on Medicare

But I don’t want to be a beer

I hurt all over so badly I cannot sleep. Ow my everything

No one ever asks me how I feel about the lack of cake at the passing of the last Ba’al clone

Weird how they’re doing the thing they accuse others of doing. Almost like it’s a confession.

nvm here they are

I’m a Mighty Mite enjoyer personally

Showers increasing, says the BOM app.

No they’re not, says a look out the window.

Consider not using one of the major search engines. Basically all of them filter results.

A BBC article is the first result from just searching it. Its a widely talked about fact and if you can’t find “anything” you need to actually read the search results.

There was one incident where they abducted a 14 year old orphan. https://kyivindependent.com/media-odesa-recruitment-center-investigating-report-of-14-year-old-kidnapped-by-uniformed-men/

I’ll be sure to double not watch it.

No, I’m saying the presence of bad actors a year ago doesn’t mean an entire movement agrees with them. Antisemitism is not popular in the movements that are attending these rallies. A quick glance confirms this.

Nazis love to be where they aren’t wanted. (On earth)

Nazis aren’t really going to rallies where the chants include “always was, always will be!” “Aboriginal land” or “no justice, no peace, no racist police” because they support the cause. But they might rock up to agitate and divert media attention away from them.

Any amount of swasticas are too many though. I got a cheapo kogan thermal printer so I can cover them on the fly with pictures of my cat. Haven’t actually had to use it for that yet though.

You’re arguing at a strawman and I don’t know why. I’m clearly not going to step in to defend a scarecrow.

It might not be in our lifetimes, but one day good will win out. It’ll be great.

The Palestinian struggle mirrors the struggle against colonialism in our country. That’s why the protests always include chants of “always was always will be”. Colonialism is a worldwide system after all, its not just in Palestine or Australia. It’s the same struggle everywhere, and we need to fight it everywhere if we want it gone to the dustbin of history where it belongs alongside all other forms of racism.

Our government also does have the ability to pressure other governments. We have the ability to change things and improve things despite being a middle power. Even just condemning the genocide would be a massive move that could change things, it could encourage other countries to condemn it and stop exporting products that help it along.

Those other issues are issues and we should be rallying about those too. Someone just has to organise and lead it. On the Nazis, these rallies are anti-nazi too. The groups involved are broad leftist groups who are very much against Nazism and everything it stands for, like colonialism.

On top of that is just solidarity. If even one photo of the rally makes it to someone having a hard time in Palestine or Lebanon or wherever else and maybe improves their day, then every rally will have been worth it. I want it to be known that despite being on the other side of the world, I care.

“An injury to one is an injury to all.” Is something I take very seriously. As long as there are oppressed people out there, none of us are free.

Also the benefit of my account being on Lemmy.ml is that down votes don’t federate between instances so idk how many people downvote me, I only see one or two.
