The catastrophic policies of appeasement implemented by Britain and Europe also gave them an over inflated false sense of security. It only emboldened further Nazi aggression and paved the way for World War II. We are seeing it again now, the same hesitancy in confronting Iran and its proxies, is similarly embolding & enabling Tehran & creating a definitive path to world conflict
And if we look at the Asian Pacific we have China, who’ve been quietly implementing the same exact strategies Japan used before surprising the world at Pearl Harbour in 1941
The famous quote “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it” has never been more relevant.
There is no evidence of harm to women in an Australian context when comparing data from SA’s ban on sex-selective abortions to outcomes in other states. Claims of harm are drawn from overseas data where abuse is normalised. And if prohibiting sex-selective abortions allegedly targets minorities, are we also going to ignore child marriage and other harmful cultural practices? Consistent protection of the human rights of women & girls requires addressing all underlying coercion & inequality despite cultural ‘autonomy’.

Non Muslims were second class citizens who faced prohibitive laws, forced conversions and extra taxes
When the Ottomans tried to modernise the system,
Pan-Turkist/Islamists revolted which led to Christian massacres - Hamidian massacres 1890s , Armenian, Assyrian, Greek genocides 1915–1923, resulting in 2+ million deaths and the near elimination of Christian populations in Anatolia.
There are ZERO Islamic states, historically or currently, that have sustained coexistence with other religious groups on the basis of full legal equality without systemic control, discrimination or deprivation of human rights for non-Muslims.
@Sahar_A_Writes What are you on about? Hezbollah did not agree to a ceasefire
The Lebanese government did but Hezbollah does not care about Lebanon, it only cares about the eradication of Israel
@cosmicjester It’s a predictable response to government overreach and institutional disconnect. When parties fail to address real electorate concerns, voters correct it. Unaddressed long term grievances trigger over-corrections.
History shows repeatedly that rightward swings (Reagan/Thatcher after 1970s fatigue, European populism post 2015 migration, etc.) aren’t mysterious contagions They’re voter corrections to policy failures and institutional disconnect, so rather than redirecting blame, addressing the failures of Government and our institutions like the ABC, might be a smarter response
@XxtraEstroGenny The misogyny on the left is far more terrifying than the right. Conservatives own their views and beliefs, the woke bros hide behind ideological extremism
@AlboMP This is not your Gillard misogyny moment. In fact not one Labor MP has any right to complain about sexism again. Not while biological men have more rights than actual women.
Women’s bodies are much more complex & experience PMS due to the natural rise and fall of estrogen and progesterone produced by the ovaries across the menstrual cycle, followed by the shedding of the uterine lining. This involves a complex interplay of ovarian hormones, the endometrium, prostaglandins, and brain chemistry
Trans identifying men do not have ovaries or a uterus. They cannot ovulate, form an endometrium, or menstruate. There is no true “period” or premenstrual phase in the gynecological sense, there is only a symptomatic response to foreign amounts of hormones or IBS
