@BGCryderman@MorkSamuel@theo You seem to have a high degree of certainty in this "extreme abandunce" outcome.
Would you mind sharing the reasoning behind your certainty?

@Transperth ... that moment when your train leaves while you're swiping on two minutes ahead of schedule, the next is a whole seven minutes away, and it's a dreaded 3 car...
@SaveTheWest_69 @Hey_Hey_Its_JP @RozzieVox@D_Melissa2 If Australia was “conquered”, there would be paperwork saying so.
Australia wasn’t conquered. If anything it was “squatted”.
@deluxe_pepe@PuneetSharmaX It is not the "Tree of Knowledge", it is the "Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil".
That's a pretty important distinction to make. One is radically different from the other.
Knowledge is not evil, in fact the Bible exorts people to seek knowledge.
@LouisaWFerguson@Trixie_Boo It's "your" country? Can you present any documentation to that effect? A "transfer of ownership" or similar?
Or is this one of those "might makes right" affairs? Just sweep it under the carpet?
@Davemcl70700812@CipherHashau@abcnews The contemporary redefinition of words, like racism, is alarming to be honest.
People want to participate it, but not identify as it, so to make them feel better about themselves they cling to pandering messaging… e.g. “It’s not racism, you’re just ‘asking questions!’”
@CipherHashau@Davemcl70700812@abcnews I’m trying to have a rational conversation that doesn’t devolve into childish insults. So yes, I agree, I must have been very confused to expect such a thing here…
Oh well…
@CipherHashau@Davemcl70700812@abcnews Racism is, literally, thinking of others as “lesser”. Why do people think racism is only racism if it’s overt?
This whole “unless you’re wearing a pointy white hat, or have a nazi tattoo, then you’re not ‘truly racist’” thing confuses me immensely…
@CapturedVox@LeadingReport Yawn 😉
I guess the key point I was trying to make (and that you seem to be avoiding) is that your rather radical interpretation of the Constitution opens up a Pandora's Box that may come back to haunt you...
Be careful what you wish for...
@CapturedVox@LeadingReport Hey, if the Conservatives get to throw tradition out the window, then it's only fair Progressives get to as well... 🤷♂️
Scared of a little competition?
The fight against misinformation and disinformation on this platform is an unfair one, @elonmusk.
I recently received the below message as a result of attempting to “participate in the public town square”, just as you asked us to.
I am a member of “the left”, the “woke” you have openly waged war on. I saw your motivation and intent for purchasing Twitter - the “great experiment” - and hoped it would deliver on your promise.
It has not. Intolerance goes unchecked, even when brought to your (X’s) attention. Reports on openly racist remarks are met with no action, while bureaucratic gatekeeping is applied in full force when ignorance-born intolerance is challenged.
My “crime”, apparently, was to employ the use of “copy-pasta” to correct an endless stream of race-based misinformation. You can review the posts and their context here:

I think you will agree that this is a perfectly valid exception to your policies. Your platform certainly has no problem making exceptions for hate speech (see some of my past reports), so where is the balance?
I’m disappointed to say that this has given me no choice but to cancel my subscription. I cannot justify paying for the privilege of having my voice suppressed on this platform for doing exactly what you asked me to do.
You challenge the left, and the woke, to engage in the public town square while at the same time fostering an environment where people are punished by way of technicalities for doing exactly that.
Your experiment is failing. It’s in the metrics you yourself bemoan. The lack of left-wing presence here is a result of your actions, not ours.
I see how Ernie Dingo is trending bcuz another 'Welcome to Country' culture war has broken out
I'm so fucking sick of having this conversation so I drew a picture for those who are having so much difficulty understanding this issue

@goodfoodgal Considering they fought and died to rid us of the tyrannical scourge of populism and nationalism, I think they would be highly discouraged by very recent events.
