Hopefully they mock Australia as well and deservedly so, our rail system is laughable

Austraia and the UK have similar laws to allow border police to search your electronic devices. In Australia they can clone your phone and keep a copy for as long as they want.

What's bemusing to me is to read some local Aussie posters saying how fascist America has become, when Australia does the same and has for over a decade.

Hahah nooooo I'll be banned from Lemmy and the police will knock on my door.

Ao some banal shit ? Pepsi is better then coke ?

Australia and New Zealand

Yeah but thats a subreddit not REDDIT itself, you can similarly start a /c/TwoX on just about any Lemmy instance.

I don't wish the fellow ill will but he fits the very definition of stupid as per Cipollas laws and stupid people are mostly attracted to the conservative side of politics, as noted by John Stuart Mill

I don't see the issue with pointing that out (he is after all posting publically about it) , just like a drunk dirver hitting a concrete barricade and pleading for sympathy.

As to his demand that people be more caring, if he expects recirporicty after he deliberately chose to hurt people with how he voted ...well...boo fuckin' hoo?

What many people might not fully understand is that a world at +3℃ is one in which BILLIONS will die within a few short years.

People don't care, the ones causing this assume they won't be (the richeset 20%) and many of the rest don't agree ot sna issie anyway. Anyone who voted D or R at last years Presidential election is just reinforcing the orthodoxy of stupidity.as but one example.

Another exmaple, we kill 9 million a year from hunger, another 9 million a year from pollution. Anyone here give enough of a fcuk to stop driving their car ? In a decade thats something like 180million deaths there alone. Have you tred to get people to give up a coffee a week to help ? nearly impossible.

Just look a the issie with homlessness and immigrants.. Shit's given over actual humans ? Near fcuking zero.

We do not give a shit, we're petty, stupid and greedy at our core, it is after all why we're in this mess.

Bring on collpase ;)

People

I'm an Australian, as a 16 ur old I'd slong my gun over mu shoulder and rodee my trail bike up the range to hunt for pet food. Drape a gutted dead roo over the back of my motobike and bring it jwome, meat for the dogs and skin it. No one batted an eyelid or said anything.

Now I'd be labeled a terrorist, have police helicopters chase me down and be in jail for decades.

And white women

These are Cipolla's five fundamental laws of stupidity:

1. Always and inevitably, everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.

2. The probability that a certain person (will) be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.

3. A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.

4. Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular, non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places, and under any circumstances, to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake.

5. A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.

Used to be big fan but no longer, forcing somone to vote when they don't want to seems an odd thing to ne proud off. They wont make any sort of rational choice.

I read a stat some years ago that >60% of people still don't know who they will vote for as they approach the polling booth which is why we get slammed with a zillion how to vote cards. They should not be voting at all.

And people complain that climate protestors hold up ambulances, even though they always let emergency vehicles through.
