    I didnt say they were your friends. Psy-ops? So mind games of some sort and they have "multiple options"? What the fuck does that mean?
    And Im being encouraged to believe?
    Im started to get a bit fucked off with all this bullshit. If you know of someone, anyone who may be talking about/ planning an actual terrorist bombing of any kind I strongly suggest you go tell the police.

    So its all in your imagination then, you dont know of at least 5 people conspiring together to carry out such an atrocity, but you will report it if you do. Right?
    At least with the law change the threat of a lone nut has been drastically reduced now it needs a conspiracy to do it, and that makes it harder to hide. So I for one am happy with the law changes.

    you do a little research.

    NO How about you stop being all 'Iknowstuffyoudont' mysterious prophetic-like, and just tell us what it is. And let us make up our own minds.
    Its time to stop the childish playing of mind games.

    sacred in the USA

    The only thing sacred in that country at present, it would seem to me, is the right to be as big of an arsehole as you want to be. I’d really hate to see that imported here.

    It all comes back to self perception. Thats where distorted world views live unchallenged.

    So why do a small number of men choose one set of angry messages from a small group of people and are immune to everything else?

    I dont want to diminish anybody but the reasons why are all very obvious if you take a critical look at the direction our societies have gone(I dont want to say progressed because Im not sure we have improved) over the past half century.
    The emphasis has been on material progress in the first world while everything that didnt serve that has been denigrated or sidelined. We let the businessmen/financiers set the direction a huge mistake. IMO. The cracks widened and people fell into who knows what.

    Even tho liberal messaging was pushed in the wider society thru the media and from the now business fronted leftovers of social institutions of schools, health and welfare it didnt match what was happening to many people. And I would say resentments grew as traditional roles became harder and harder to understand yet we were just expected to know.
    Yes our societies were starting to break apart, but we were all just expected to smile and carry on take on heavier workloads, less pay, increasing and changing populations and neglected yet more expensive social institutions. A recipe for disaster.
    And a group of disaffected men (Im not going to speculate on numbers) could go off on a hideous tangent and no one would know until it was too late, and had inflicted suffering on people based on their distorted view of who caused it all, often helped along by vote seeking politicians and their rhetoric.
    Im not sympathetic to his views in any way, Jordan Peterson has pointed this out but his solutions are just as crazy as the cause of it all.

    And yes what Emma said. Some are more likely to take on the racism of their parents than others and if it is left unchallenged it becomes who they are.

    It does seem racist, but proponents would argue there’s nothing wrong with valuing a future for your (ethnic) children

    No Buts about it, its racist, supremacist, bigoted, elitist. And then theres the education bribery fiasco in the US, if you wonder what lengths parents will go to.

    Whats happening in Australia with the PM Scott Morrison a shadow cabinet meeting in 2010 accusations and angry counter claims about stoking fear of muslims to win elections?
    I doubt solutions can be found politically to anything anymore, mainly because many politicians are compromised individuals and the frames of reference they use to think about the people/populations they are supposed to represent are woefully inadequate and totally impersonal. PM Ardern and few others, exceptions.
    Is pinhead dancing a thing now Hilton?

    Phew! Glad all this symbolism is now being exposed, those people had really disappeared into a rabbit warren of hate!! Im just dismayed. It needs exposing so we can all be on our guard.
    Im not linking to it Jim Jefferies( he is not a bigot) an Oz Comic now in the USA has a clip on youtube watch it there is you want, about white supremacists in Australia in the light of March 15. The unashamed bigotry on display is mind boggling. He tried to make it funny but its not a funny subject.
