I don't watch TV at all, so I am not up on whatever fake news is influencing you to the point of obsession with ordinary Australian citizens, who just happen to hold different political views to you.

As usual, you miss the point.

Lee Rhiannon was a card carrying official with the CPA who infiltrated the Greens and actually became a Greens senator. Yet this extreme lefty does not bother you at all. But this Blair Cottrell, who is apparently just an ordinary citizen who has zero influence with anybody other than sensation seeking journalists from the left wing press, has you looking under your bed every night worried about a Nazi takeover.

Just in case you have not noticed, it is the left today which is the new establishment. And just like the right in my day, they are the ones who are the new oppressors. From a new McCarthyism in Hollywood sacking stars who hold right wing views, to trying to legally enforce Orwell's "newspeak" with gender neutral pronouns, to prosecuting people who hold contrary views, or who make fun of their causes, or heroes, the Left is getting ever more power drunk and out of control. Even the right, when they were the establishment, never went after cartoon commentators like Bill Leak, who the Left hounded to death.

The Right are the new punks making fun of, or kicking back at, an increasingly arrogant and oppressive left wing establishment. I have always been a bit of a rebel, and I know who's side I am on when it comes to fighting those who would demand that I must conform to their worldview, or else.

On the subject of stereotyping, everybody does it. A stereotype is a sweeping generalisation which is never entirely accurate because it does not need to be. It is just accurate enough to form a concept in people's minds so that people can think. But you can not make sweeping generalisations about Nazis, and then say that I an not do the same thing to Muslims. or any other group I do not like.
