Some strange parallels between Canada and Australia. Both have high immigration policies, huge fossil fuel exports, uranium reserves and desolate interiors. We've now adopted their term 'First Nations people'. I wonder if their CBC like our ABC has acknowledgment of country. I'd like one of the Q&A guests to say if the ABC is on aboriginal land then give it back. The thing about the woke is their zeal is relentless, kind of like a moral Terminator. You'd think after the Voice referendum result they'd give it a rest. Nope it looks like they will arise from the ashes in some form.

This piece was OK, at free-speech TAPRI and OLO, but I couldn't repost it to Amazon AU, because it was adjudged to contain "hate speech".
I rest my case. Woke is everywhere. Posted by Steve S, Thursday, 11 July 2024 10:26:24 AM

Speaking of political extremism why not check out these two references wherein the deeply psychotic nature of right-wing so called conservative politics is fully on display:

That's right Steve, this site being so small, it flies under the radar with these 'hate speak' articles masquerading as free speech, not surprised that Amazon knocked it back. Just for balance OLO has 80% of its articles from hard right commentators like Saunders, if that's not enough the editor throws a few more of his own from time to time.
Not sure if Google still advertises here, they might have pulled the plug as well. Posted by Paul1405, Thursday, 11 July 2024 4:01:57 PM

Hi Daffy Duck,
I refuse to attend any "conference" where 100% of the speakers are not well heeled middle aged white men! Like all conservatives I believe in equality, why are there a couple of women in the rogues gallery of speakers, and only one man of the cloth! Fortunately there are no black fellas, and heaven forbid no black women, although an India with a funny name has slipped in, we can't have that, do something about it if you want me to turn up, and check if there are any of those unnatural gay types attending, don't sit me anywhere near them, in fact throw them out. I hope its a $1,000 a head, that will keep the riff-raff out! p/s Will there be opening and closing prayers, all meetings should have a strong christian flavour to them, otherwise they are ungodly!

Article said "Albanese Labor's very first promise was The Voice. In that debacle, ABC and Human Rights Commission dissed voters, as ill-informed and racist".
Answer- I believe that the ABC and Human Rights Commission are racist hate speakers as they are complicit in Anglo-Phobia Anti White-ism. Obviously White Australian's need territory to live in the main immigrant groups have large territories of their own, yet they claim minority status when their populations and territories are largest in the world. There is little chance of destruction of Chinese, Indian, and African groups in the world but White Australian's have 1/50th of the populations of each of these groups. If your mission statement says that you're against racism it's easier to act in a racist way- the mission statement acts as a shield. Posted by Canem Malum, Friday, 12 July 2024 8:23:13 PM

Orwell's 1984 talked about the Ministeries of Love (Torture), Plenty (Poverty), Information (Disinformation), Peace (War) now have the Ministry against Racism aka 'The Human Rights Commission' (Designed to exterminate the creators of Australia).

I think that the Marxist's claim to be about equality of different peoples a Ministry Of Equality in a sense but this is designed to destroy differences between people. More totalitarianism. And the useful Woke idiots have been unable to see it. I think Kaufmann (who I think also has some ideological flaws) said that young western women have moved to 'far Woke-ism' in the name of a perceived elevation of their power whereas young western men have maintained their traditional political stance perhaps increasing their traditionalism slightly.

It has always been the Woke who were the cause of War & suffering & the collapsing of civilisations !
Their doctrine does not allow them to recognise idealism as the foundation for economic failure & social disintegration ! Posted by Indyvidual, Sunday, 14 July 2024 8:38:11 AM

Left wing…Right wing, opposing appendages on a duck called “democracy” that is dead in the water with the dogs of communism & fascism swimming desperately towards its rapidly cooling corpse.

The riots by pro-Hamas, anti-Semitic trash have become worse - now extending to war memorials and Parliament House itself - thanks to Albanese’s tolerance of anti-Semitism, including that in his own party, and in his mates the Greens.
He thinks an “envoy” will solve anti-Semitism. All she will do is hoover up more taxpayer money. Her first ‘act’ is to be a trip to Argentina!
And, of course, to be “fair”, there will have to be an anti-Islamophobia ‘envoy’ as well.
We don't need writers most of us have never read - or even heard of - to tell us about woke extremism.
