Indigenous senator Lidia Thorpe yells at King Charles after he finished giving a speech at the Australian Parliament:

we studied WWII a lot in school but honestly i think it failed so many folk by painting nazis as a unique form of evil; it's left people thinking that fascism is only fascism in those very specific circumstances - folk are seemingly blind to the red flags that precede it
if you grew up in survival mode it takes a continuous internal effort to rewire your brain to know that you have nothing to worry about. to remind yourself it is safe to feel good. we can release our previous experience. easier said than done but day by day itll continue to ease
Hint: If you worry less about what gay and trans people do in public and worry more about what YOU do in public, everyone will be better off, yourself included.
