It is always good to hear from James Allan. Canada never deserved him.

There used to be a saying to describe anything and anyone that overstepped the mark of common sense and reasonable thought and behaviour: it was "dizzy limit". Many Australians, of particular importance to us, and many Westerners, have reached the dizzy limit, with rioting and wrecking, black lives matter - only if white people are involved - and big, tough-looking young men imitating school girls by getting down on one knee in front of huge crowds of people they are supposed to be entertaining, not debasing themselves. What a bunch of sissies and yes men!

And, let's not forget the "contemptibly weak cowards" trembling in Canberra, fearing the loss of their huge salaries and privileges. They are terrified of everything. They are obsessed with minorities, and it is well past time that the majority they ignore stopped putting them back in the job they have proved they are incapable of performing

ttbn,
Australians or rather those who call themselves that, are at the forefront of this insipid behaviour.
Qld Govt is now giving these people a pay rise ! In this economic climate ? Go figure !

Read an interesting comment the other day.
“ what happens when white people run out of guilt?”

'We are witnessing the cowardice of liberal democracies' elites. They need to take on the cancel culture head on. And fight to win.'

not really, we are witnessing cowardice from conservative pollies who for decades have let these degenerates be funded in universities and national broadcasters. Cowardly emasculated males have let the likes of overpaid feminist on the abc push their Marxist vomit at tax payer expense for decades. The few that have stood up against this garbage are relageted to the back bench or stabbed in the back by Australian hating regressives like Turnbull. One would hope Morrison would stand up but shows no signs to date. We keep sending money to the total corrupt UN to allow 16 year old autistic girls to preach the gw religion to us and allow organisations like who to cover for China and send deadly virus's around the world. The modern day virtue signallers really have the morality of those in Sodom and Gommorah.

Scott Morrison is pathetically wet and a danger to Australia. In Parliament he said that black lives are "particularly" important. In Parliament a couple of days ago, when Bob Katter, a man who identifies as part Aboriginal, stood up and asked for a reduction in immigration, both the Prime Minister and the Speaker both made fun of Katter in a most childish manner. I'm no fan of Katter, but I was embarrassed to see him put down by two senior Parliamentarians, one supposed to be leading the country, whom I now regard as pig ignorant creeps and self-abusers (I had to remove the real word for them).

Don't agree.

Morrison is a middle of the road personality, conservative yet pragmatic, the right kind of leader for Australia.

Go Sco Mo. Once thought he was a salesman, now I am increasingly impressed.

These issues need a middle view, not extreme left or extreme right, as both of them would have us believe that either history should be completely defended, or rewritten

We need leaders that can defend the past, but also address some of our worst traits in order to less offend and be fair to all.

Not easy though.

For example, if we can't laugh at ourselves, including over race, then sadly liberal democracy will be worse off.

Of course, all lives matter, equally, no more and most certainly no less.

Morrison's prompt response to the Coronavirus - when it appeared (how wise we all are, after the event) that it could sweep across the country, claiming thousands of lives. - saved those thousands of lives. Lives of old people and lives of young people - all equal.

Meanwhile in the US, the Delays of Pussy Man have cost tens of thousands of lives. Don't American lives matter ? Of course, as much as anybody else's. But not to our incredibly brave warriors back here, safe in their caves.

And now the number of new cases in the US is rising rapidly in Texas and Florida. But Pussy man will be okay, he's taken chloroquine and he still hasn't got the virus, so it must work. Add in his notion that, if you don't test, you won't get so many cases and I would hesitate to ask a child psychologist at what level of thinking he/she would class that as ? A six-year-old's ? Cover your eyes and the boogeyman disappears ?

Still our resident morons are stuck with him, at least until November.

BTT: Yes, of course, 'cancel culture' is an affront to genuine debate. Paul Kelly has a great article on this in today's Australian, which our resident morons won't read because Kelly is obviously a communist, like Murdoch.

Of course, discussion presupposes differences - of opinion. There are probably no two people who contribute to OLO who have exactly the same opinions. And that's how it should be. Well, it's going to be regardless.

SO LET'S CANCEL 'CANCEL CULTURE' ! NOW !

Joe

*...We are witnessing the cowardice of liberal democracies' elites. They need to take on the cancel culture head on. And fight to win...*

Unfortunately "they are the cancel culture" movement...they are it!
Nothing short of a civil war will destroy them and their agenda.

First it was endless weeping and wailing for the poor downtrodden homosexuals. Onwards ever onwards they screeched and screamed from every roof top, until the majority tired of their nonsense, and rolled over to it, simply our of boredom, not from empathy.

What do we hear of gay rights now? Not a *f* whisper!
Can we conclude from that, the only discrimination that ever mattered to them, was to decimate the good that a marriage is to heterosexual women, constituting the vast majority of the population, and contaminating the process with filth.

Now it's on to black lives matter. The same bunch of homosexuals and assorted misfits and hangers-oners, now proceeding to educate us further, that now homosexuals are happy with the damage the stench of their twisted nonsense has reeked on the the useful people in the society they intend to destroy, they will further the social vandalism until we all dwell literally, in the ashes of the past.

As if they know better, when actually, it's painfully obvious they don't!

Dan

When peaceful protest is hijacked by opportunistic criminal looters and arsonists, it can hardly be blamed on those peacefully protesting, as is their right!

TWhen those in positions of power send their armed support base into the streets, to confront peaceful protest with armed violence and vehicles used as lethal weapons? One wonders where this (red-neck) commentary is coming from? Completely false premise!

Next time mate, try talking from a lot higher up!
Alan B.

Dan,

How has homosexuality stuffed Australia? Please explain.

I actually think worrying about what a minority of people do in their own private lives, and hardly threatening anyone, is not an issue of concern.

As for those seeking to change the name of a beer, and even the name of Victoria, get a life. All this will do is piss most Australians off.

Chris is determined to put the mockers on Morrison. When people with his views praise somebody who is supposed to be centre right, all is lost. There is nowhere for conservatives to go. Morrison is not a political conservative; he is just a social conservative as most Australians are, irrespective of what side they vote for. He is also dead set on wrecking Australian society with mass immigration, turning us into a low productivity, coolie economy. Relying on immigration in a developed country is insane, particularly when the immigrants come from the Third World.

I often say that Australia is rooted. Crude, but the truth in a few words. We no longer, if we ever did, have a balance, or a choice, in who runs the country. The Coalition has been shifting left since John Howard, and has just about aligned itself with Labor on most things, particularly with Morrison (yep, even compared with Turnbull). It might not worry most Australians as much as it does me, but we will never know, unless someone with better personal and social skills than Cory Bernadi puts up his or her hand.

It's tragic to watch Australia being trashed by self-serving idiots.

Ok, tell me how Australia will proper with your exclusionary attitude.

Asians should purchase our products, but we really dont like you.
Is that what you are saying?

And those on the Left should go away, and say nothing. According to your like, they are all scum, communist and idiots.

That sentiment is severely flawed, and why Howard and Sco Mo will never adhere to your views. They too are childen of a dynamic culture that learns from its past and tries to find a middle ground that celebrates our achievments and addresses wrongs.

I find it insulting that you denigrate immigrants that are not your kind. They also have conservative views amongst them, as well as a lot with genius and a great work ethic.

Why are your kind unwilling to have faith in our way of life and liberal democracy to understand how we can still progress?

Sadly, there are a lot of sooks like you, but not enough to influence much really. YOu can just sit back and whinge while Australia evolves.

Get used to it. The Australaia of the 1950s has gone forever.

And I say thank God for that.

Thanks, Chris :)

And I say thank God for that.
Chris Lewis,
The day you say "God help Me" is already on this year's calendar !

I think the challenge for those who are concerned about the future is to suggest ideas about how our fears can be tempered or addressed.

That is how I approach issues such as culture and race.

While I also have some concerns, which may even label myself as a cultural bigot given I reject the idea of cultural relativism in line with my passionate love of Western ideas and Western life over other cultures, I don't fear the reality that Australia is becoming multi-racial and less European.

*...I actually think worrying about what a minority of people do in their own private lives, and hardly threatening anyone, is not an issue of concern...*

CL. You actually wag your own finger in your own face, with this statement!

Firstly and formistly, Gay Rights is a political movement, with its media arm the ABC.

I don't wish to live in a world which acknowledges homosexuals on an equal footing as heterosexuals. That's a stupid world! They are by virtue of the fact they are queers, correctly branded, and of lesser importance, not greater!

What they do in their own bedrooms is ticked off as fine by me, providing they don't break the law by subverting children with their "queer". Even if they should be a Catholic Priest!

Where your closed mind fails to let in the light of reason, lies in fact.
That fact is, this is a life style group that has abandoned sense and sensibility as once defined: Forced their lifestyle and warped antisocial thinking, onto our communities in very public displays.

You don't see that obviously, which backs you into the same self opinionated order of BLM elitist liberals, who also back the anti cultural propaganda.
In short your a social terrorist! Not to mention the mounting evidence from your own mouth, a supporter of the communistIc ABC.

If I can give you more guiding advice on right and wrong, let me know, I'd be happy to oblige!

Dan

multi-racial and less European.
Chris Lewis,
If it only were that, all'd be honkey-dory, alas !

Chris Lewis,

That's right. You be insulted on someone else's behalf; it's so Lefty virtuous. And no, I'm not saying I don't like Asians. I just prefer them to stay in Asia. And from the way you present yourself here, I would like you at lot less than Asians, all of whom I treat in a friendly manner when I deal with them, and there are a lot where I live. I will never lose my abhorrence of multiculturalism, but it's Australian politicians I blame for it, not the migrants themselves.

However, there is little to be gained by discussing my views with you. You are more Joe's type. He's as old as Methuselah, but was raised a commo, and still likes to think he's 'with it'. He hasn't yet twigged that the last couple of generations after him resent old people, and prefer the exotic and the new to amuse them as they live their empty, pointless lives, lacking in integrity and loyalty to anything and belief in anything

Nothing but a civil war will destroy them and their agenda - golly gosh!
This is exactly how would be totalitarian regimes come into power - they "cleanse" the body politic of all the "poisonous" elements.
Be careful what you pray (prey) for.
You may invoke/precipitate a war of all against all.
Who is going to define who are "enemies of the people", and when will the killing stop?

Anyone for a fascist state!

Fortunately such a scenario is highly unlikely in Australia.

Who are the elites?

This essay was featured in the Australian "news"-paper which is very much a mouthpiece for the elites who REALLY rule the world - as distinct from the dreaded proponents of "cancel" or "woke" culture.

The Australian is of course owned by a member of the super elite who has via his tabloid "news"-papers has arguably done more to undermine democracy in Australia, the UK and the USA.
It seems to me that a law professor should be included as a member of the elite..
And a lot of lawyers too, especially those that work for large corporations.

How many former lawyers (especially from the corporate sector) are now, and have been members of the Federal Parliament, especially members of the Liberal party. Not many would have worked (or still do) for community legal centres.

It could be said that the "cancel"/woke phenomenon is the left-wing version of the right-wing Tea Party movement. The principal difference is that the "cancels" have no real political power whereas the TPM did and does.

a young white girl bashed by 8 Sudanese men who attended blm rally in Melbourne.

No mainstream coverage? Thought not! Every regressive responsible for this sort of garbage.

"Publish Arkansas's Tom Cotton's piece on the need to stop the riots by sending in the troops, and you're gone."

If Trumps sends in the troops he'll be gone.
- It's a trap, there will be protesters and police deliberately shot on both sides like they did in Ukraine during the Maidan.

The autonomous zones are just another step in a playbook for unconventional warfare.
It follows a planned script.

Hey runner,
Democrats, Liberal Mayors, Mainstream Media etc are all pushing a narrative that promotes rioting, promotes looting, promotes fear, promotes violence and promotes business interruption.

- Anything to unseat Trump in November -

Daffy Duck

Your views are irrelevant. You refuse to debate any point, and with your closed off mind in neutral gear, I pronounce your views null and void!

Dan

And Chris Lewis

has gone to ground like the frightened rabbit he is.
Black lives don't matter, and neither do homosexual lives matter.
Up yours Chris, with a rainbow flag to follow!

What matters and obviously, is white lives!

God save Australia for white Australians, is the fervent prayer on white lips, I observe!

Dan

I wonder what the ABC's DRUM & Q&A will have to say about the attack on the girl ?

Yes, elements of certain immigrant groups are a disgrace.

Certainly much worse today given the innocent people that are hurt.

I remember once when doing my paper round, many moons ago, I was basically held hostage for 4-5 hours by some of local young thugs in Melbourne's Preston suburb.

I actually feared I was going to be bashed for no reason, albeit they were southern Europeans like me, but managed to provide enough charm that eventually led to their gracious decision to set me free with no bruising.

Scum and bullies have always existed, but the violence today is indeed much worse, random and horrific.

Dear runner,

You really are a nasty, toxic, and woeful individual aren't you.

The assault was unlawful and needs to be investigated and with CTV it likely will be. But no where did it say the assailants were men.

Yet you claimed "a young white girl bashed by 8 Sudanese men who attended blm rally in Melbourne". The article only talks about young people. You added that for effect didn't you.

Is it a desire to inflame through spreading disinformation or just pathetic fear that caused you to imagine the worst.

What a fearful person you must be.

'Dear runner,

You really are a nasty, toxic, and woeful individual aren't you.

If you say so Steelie. You lie about most things so I won't be taking offense. I would be very worried if you said nice things about me as your track record is one of lies, deceit and misrepresentaions.

The assault was unlawful
SteeleRedux,
And, the lead-up to the assault was what ? Lawful ?

I would personally like to give my most heartfelt appreciation for the "cancel culture" morons now pulling down statues of George Washington and Ulysses S. Grant int eh USA, and defacing statues of captain Cook in the UK and Australia. Because they are ensuring the re election of Donald Trump for the presidency of the Divided States of America..

Even traditional Democrat voters in America must be feeling uneasy about the fact that it is Democratic cities in Democrat states that are going up in flames because of out of control mob violence, and the Democratic politicians do nothing about it. Seattle looks like a lefty kindergarten run by fascists and crime gangs.

Forty years of western "multiculturalism" and Paris is not Paris anymore. London is not London anymore, and San Francisco is not San Francisco anymore.

Thank you again, guys. Even the rich liberal left must be feeling like Christian Scientists with appendicitis
