From this day forward I will be referring to Fraser Anning as Nazi goreng.

Did I say all liberals are fascists? Your mental capacity on this board is well understood already.


For reference I'll quote myself from this thread:

"Stupid comparison, by that same thought process we can say not all liberals are fascists, but all fascists are liberals and a lot more liberals hold fascist beliefs than you would care to admit."

If there is one thing that can be inferred from this thread, yourself and Pepsifree have no reading comprehension at all.

You're completely incapable of arguing without resorting to personal attacks, aren't you?

You're incapable of putting together a well thought out arguement, arent you?


Edit: you can call it a personal attack if that's what you feel you need, but it is much closer to pointing out the obvious.

What exactly is the well thought out argument I'm supposed to be responding to? Fascism being closer to a left-wing ideology than a right-wing one, an argument that has been roundly rejected by historians and political theorists? Seriously, your spectrum has communism aligned closely with monarchy. That is such a laughably simple comparison that it barely even deserves a response.

Edit: I'm not going to pollute this thread anymore. I'll create a new one for you to respond to this in.

All: it is quite unseemly for a thread about a mass shooting in which at least 50 people were murdered to devolve into name calling, especially over irrelevant banalities. Please stop. Infractions and suspensions will be handed out if it continues.

Thanks mods. Here are some talking points if anyone actually wants to discuss the topic.

-50 confirmed dead now with 36 in hospital. Of those a four year old is in critical condition and 11 are in intensive care.
-Jacinda Ardern is what you want in a leader.
-Ardern saying she will bring in stronger gun control. Predictably kiwis start buying more guns.
-Police in NSW have been conducting searches related to the terrorist.
-Also Australia has seen the highest ever response to a change.org petition calling for 19 vote Senator Fraser Anning to be removed from parliament. He'll be out of a job in 3 months anyways but the symbolism is nice.
-Egg boy has become a bit of a national rebellious icon. He is a Ned Kelly for the modern world. He regretted his action though:

I haven't seen the video but from talking to people who have, the casual nature of the shooter as we was going about his business seems to be the lingering thought after watching.

It's quite sickening. I didn't know what the video was when it was sent within a whatsapp group... I only watched a bit of it, before I had to delete it. It's absolutely disgusting, made me physically sick.

If someone in a WhatsApp group sent that without a heads up I'd probably be done with that WhatsApp group.

Pretty confronting editorial cartoon in the local paper today. I will say it again the right wing politicians and media in Australia have blood on their hands.

Pretty scary knowing they walk among us. The irony of this guy saying white people are being replaced by immigrants yet not knowing white people have no hope of replacing their own population is quite ridiculous. I guess some people would rather die off.

New Zealand government moving quick on firearms.

It looks like the killer had an obsession with Serbia and Serbian history which is often viewed as Europe taking a stand against "Muslim invaders".
