I actually went over their policies in depth like a decade ago when they wanted to cut all lng and coal exports essentially crippling our economy overnight with no real plan for what to fill in the hundreds of billions of dollars worth of exports with

The most recent bout of brain damage was when they wanted

Greens demand hostile takeover of RBA

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-09-23/greens-demand-rba-intervention/104378646

this is insanity, the central bank is independent for a reason, if the government takes it over what is the point of the central bank??? 🤯

The Greens demand puts them in the same company as Donald Trump, who last month said the US president should have a say in setting Federal Reserve interest rates that determine the cost of mortgages, credit cards and commercial loans.

Well the greens are also not leadership material, some of their economic policies are just short of insanity

But people still preference them first to push labour further left

to be fair have people also not been putting the greens first, labor second?

that’s the AAP autofeed that i mentioned… you can sign up here and get the same news

last post from me

You seem to contradict yourself. You mention upwards of 30,000 yet your clip says 5,000.

“My clip” is a screenshot from Michael West’s website after searching for the word Iran sorted by date.

I said up to 30,000 deaths because that is what is currently known from multiple sources, listed here conveniently for your perusal:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Iran_massacres#Casualty_estimates

There is no contradiction, Michael West wasn’t bothered by Iranian deaths a month ago when they were piling them up into trucks, now he is because it means he can shit on American and Australia

Thus, I wrote:

Shows how much he cares about the Iranian people.

Yes hence why I didn’t take the comment literally.

The Israeli propaganda narrative that Iranians would sprinkle rose petals at the feet of their invaders has not come to pass. It has already been demolished in fact.

That’s not true, Iranians are over the moon and were seen dancing in the streets however the regime that recently killed upwards of 30,000 people is still there and western leftists are here busy crying about America and once again arrogantly telling a local population they should be sad not happy

Didn’t read any further than this

Sadly brother Michael forgot to write about the regime when it was busy killing hand over fist, just some AAP automation bot posts by the looks of it:

That’s unlucky! Shows how much he cares about the Iranian people.

It’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make to spend less time on American platforms

Hopefully AUKUS delivers before 2050…

there’s only about 30 active subs, most people here are ultra left wing and feel that downvoting and yelling insults at people with opinions different from them are their version of activism

enjoy ☺️

No comment on the Iranian regime killing thousands of protesters over the years? really?

edit: 3 downvotes, nice to see the Russian bots out in force

I have no idea tbh and I’m really not sure why they’d bomb a girls school when there’s a convenient IRGC barracks next door

I’m personally not working for the pentagon but I feel like the barracks may be a better target

On the other hand how do you feel about 7000 dead Iranians in the protests that happened last month?

Oh, and while I am here: fuck Iran, Iranians and everything Iranian.

Your comment was removed but Iranians are not comparable to Russians, as you said Russians have been more than happy to invade Ukraine, however Iranians have been protesting their government for years and decades:

2025/2026:

2010/2011:

2009:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_Iranian_presidential_election_protests

Well in this case the school was accidentally hit when a missile strike missed its target by a few hundred meters (there is a IRGC barracks over the road from it)

The other was done intentionally by the iranian regime

Not exactly a whataboutism

some of you guys really are as bad as trump supporters

It doesn’t really bother me, high energy prices push people further towards renewbles (see South Australia)

Same thing with oil prices, higher petrol prices at the pump, more EV adoption

The impact of energy prices on electric vehicle adoption: From a perspective of consumer expectations

Empirically, the study quantifies the relative influence of gasoline prices, which are found to have a significantly larger impact—approximately 3.5 to 6 times greater than electricity prices—on consumer adoption behaviour.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666188825000073

It’s sadly a balance for me, higher prices give Russia more money but also encourage EV adoption, lower prices give Russia less money but slow adoption

and what justice for the thousands you killed last month?

just for you https://sh.itjust.works/post/56162625

but I’m going to sleep, someone else have to update and/or copy the shit over from actual NCD

Yeah i did, i started typing out a response critiquing individual parts of it but the more I read the more issues stacked up

Then I realised the whole article is dogshit, I was like this is SO BAD there has to be an ulterior motive and that’s when I went to wikipedia and was like oh, makes sense, it’s written by a bunch of anti-western cucks grasping at conspiracies, character assassinations, strawmans, and just making shit up

Nice source buddy, hope you’re getting paid for posting this crap

Coverage of The Grayzone has focused on its misleading[25][26][27] reporting, its criticism of American foreign policy,[1][9] and its sympathetic coverage of the Russian, Chinese and former Syrian governments.[32] The Grayzone has been accused of downplaying and defending the persecution of Uyghurs in China,[33][37] of publishing conspiracy theories about Xinjiang, Syria and other regions,[38][39][40][1] and of publishing pro-Russian propaganda and disinformation, especially during the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[36][40][31][1][41]
