Inside The Aussie Racist Bubble
Let’s take a peek inside the Aussie racist bubble. This is where those wrapping themselves in the national flag and marching against immigration reside. The thinking goes that if we keep out all those brown skinned people, we will not see horrendous events like the Bondi Beach mass shooting. White folk from, predominantly, Anglo stock do not commit such vile acts, according to their script. Shutting the big bad world out will protect us from the atrocities. Yes, some of our business elite sell weapons to war torn countries and our superannuation funds invest for profit in such stuff the world over, but that is beside the point. Yes, our soldiers have fought in wars in Afghanistan and the Middle East but that is not our concern, either.
The Anglo Aussie Dream World Is White
Life inside the Aussie racist bubble is where ignorance is bliss. Sticking to a diet of sport’s entertainment and gambling on these results is enough for these proud, flag waving Australians. Looking away from homegrown problems with Indigenous people on the ground, life is ‘sweet as.’ All the bad shit that happens is someone else’s fault – it is imported! Blame it on the immigrant. Our newspapers and their digital equivalents tell us that ‘antisemitism’ is to blame. Israel is the victim, despite raising an entire city to the ground and murdering more than 70, 000 men, women and children in Gaza. Brown skinned people don’t count when it comes to killing them, it seems. Not in Aussie world, where the cricket score is more important. It’s the Ashes, mate!
Life Inside The Far Right’s Aussie Fantasy
The White Australia policy had the right idea and Pauline Hanson and her mob would like to bring it back. Just seeing different faces on the street is upsetting for these folk. They imagine a world where everybody looks just like them. Small minded and unable to pronounce foreign names. If you want a glimpse of how it could be, just go and visit some outback regional areas. Aussie culture, mate. Well, the Americanised fast food version of it at any rate. Big boys and their big Chinese made Utes, strutting their stuff. More guns, not less, is their call for big boy toys, like they have in the States! These fellas have probably watched too many episodes of Yellowstone.
Barnaby Joyce has joined Pauline’s team. Inside the Aussie racist bubble you can fantasize about having a beer with Barnaby. Bugger Duncan. Real men or politicians pretending to be real men at any rate. The Kapper family! Wife beaters and Stubbies on. Big hats out bush. Keeping the n****** down. Randy Newman knew how to sing it. Behind every loser wrapped in the Aussie flag is a white supremacist pulling the strings. Advance Australia. If only we could keep them out! Meanwhile, American Big Tech continues to run the world and not pay their fair share of tax. Billionaires fund Far Right groups globally, like Elon Musk and his Nazi ilk. Little Aussies want to maintain an all-white enclave like a petting zoo.
ASIO & The Bondi Beach Gunmen
“I see reports that the alleged Bondi Beach gunmen were on ASIO’s radar. Well, further investigative reports tell us that they travelled to the Philippines in November and attended militia training there in the south. This would involve firearms training and learning strategies for shooting people, I would suggest. It seems that our security agencies are not all that we might hope, if the evidence is anything to go by. This in conjunction with gun laws that allowed an individual to have licenses for 6 firearms. What do you need to have this many guns for? It is time to stop treating gun owners with kid gloves and get real about the dangers these deadly weapons pose to the greater community.”
Failing Gun Laws Downunder
“It’s sickening and I’m bitterly disappointed in our political system whereby the voices for tighter gun laws and public health aren’t listened to until there’s a major event like this,” he added.
For decades, Australia has stood as a beacon on the world stage for its strict gun laws, he says, taking a similar path to the UK which experienced its own mass shooting in Dunblane, just one month before Port Arthur.
Even now, Mr Browne remains friends with relatives of some of the 17 victims – mostly children aged five and six – killed at a primary school in Scotland.
But despite being praised for its stringent gun laws, the reality in Australia is not clear-cut.”
