The polarisation caused by social media has been at the expense of critical thought. One sentence platitudes, put-downs or slogans are not discourse. They are emotional grunts at 280 characters.

@StateDept Lol…where were the skyscrapers and trains anywhere in the world at that time. You have empty brained official there.

[Scuttlebutt @Scuttlebtt]

@Olasejoe Atheists really get to you, don’t they. Must be hard to be triggered so easily by people just not sharing your belief.

[Scuttlebutt @Scuttlebtt]

@deepstash Very cynical take. Mostly true though. People’s egos tend to be very precious and fragile.

@TruthFairy131 Pedo priest protection by dostraction. These are survivors of sexual abuse. Well done, you are a nonce now.

@JoelJammal @shallowchal @AusLobby Did they migrate from their homes to parliament?

[Scuttlebutt @Scuttlebtt]

@UnDiluted7 @3YearLetterman @WhiteHouse In saying that, it’s not far fetched to see comments like it.

[Scuttlebutt @Scuttlebtt]

@UnDiluted7 @3YearLetterman @WhiteHouse Yeah, I get sprung by them.

[Scuttlebutt @Scuttlebtt]

@Tsar_Martyr Love how this is illogical as it stands. Thanks for the belly laugh.

@jackunheard Except it isn’t them
In charge

@Lisa9Sophia @DHughesy Monopolists are demons. Suck the weslth away and the opportunities for competition. Look into taxxbreaks and kickbacks for the funding.

[Scuttlebutt @Scuttlebtt]

@GuntherEagleman You really struggle with logic Gunther.

[Scuttlebutt @Scuttlebtt]

@GeoffStoddart @3YearLetterman @WhiteHouse Lol

[Scuttlebutt @Scuttlebtt]

@3YearLetterman @WhiteHouse Wow! You really are ignorant. Heard of a country called England?

[Scuttlebutt @Scuttlebtt]

@JPMasters @AlboMP Very, very possible. Greens may get a few, but they have lost a few due to blocking so many things in the past. I would prefer independents holding the balance of power.

[Scuttlebutt @Scuttlebtt]

@DHughesy I just realised. Avi is a “toolie”. He wants in with youngens. You know about toolies, don’t you Dave.

[Scuttlebutt @Scuttlebtt]

@DHughesy I see. Journalists now need expertise is in hitting women, being a soldier and suing anyone who calls them out for being a stenographer for the right wing. But by all means, let him go question young people as if he is a journo. Maybe he should be a comedian.

[Scuttlebutt @Scuttlebtt]

@EstherSampv2943 Wow, I almost thought this was genuine. Has to be parody.

[Scuttlebutt @Scuttlebtt]

@John_Poelwyk @searchfeast @OMGTheMess @WadeThomas76162 @Cranky_Old_Guy Thanks for making me look into why you responded this way. The guy is part of an organisation that does not follow journalistic standards and is essentially a stenography service for the right wing. His expertise is in hitting women, being a soldier and suing.

This Australian's reply to Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.

"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive.

A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.

You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.

Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.

Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.

And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging, insurrectionist, running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban in Afghanistan thanked you very much for losing again.

And you're calling Greenland poorly run?

Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.

'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU.

Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.

And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.

So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your fucking mouth."

@John_Poelwyk @searchfeast @OMGTheMess @WadeThomas76162 @Cranky_Old_Guy How is this Jew hatred? Weird. I think you accidentally respond to the wrong texts. I didn’t even know his religious beliefs. Even if I did, they are irrelevant.
