Another fact about it, men have died in wars generation to generation, few gaps of peace in between. Why are we any different? We've spent too long in peace, it's weakened us a lot, we've liberalized to the point that we either eject it or fall into complete complacency. At that point, salvaging anything of culture/tradition/religion will become nigh impossible both on a local and national level. The Germans, the British, the French, the Italians, Russians, Austro-Hungarians all had the privilege of getting to die for their respective lands and peoples in a war to end all wars. A brief time later, again great war struck and shook the world. 75 years later now, we're in this situation, at the precipice of another great destabilization resulting in resumed armed conflict. All I can say, is if America balkanizes, God only knows what's gonna happen to our strategic weapons. Imagine a eco-fascist group acquiring a missile silo?

We are absolutely self destructing. Overly sensitive and effete, morally bankrupt, vulgar and shallow - and we’re being eaten from within and are heading to collapse.

I dunno how many are a Christian lot in here but if this war is the one and America gets the jackboot, I bet a dollar end times events are gonna go into overdrive. Because if America collapses, there goes the main strength of the western block. Leaving only the eastern block with China and Russia to fill the gap.

China is in the midst of expansion influence wise, building bases, satelliting countries economically, encroaching in the pacific.

Russia is eyeing it's former territories from a century ago.

Ukraine is on the hit list, Belarus on the verge of being annexed willingly back into Russia.

If the United States goes down, Russia just got it's ticket for a sprint across east europe

As for the mideast? Israel just lost it's main backer, the islamic nations will close on it

Self-destruction emerged from secularization, because people made gods out of other things but the religion they use to follow

It is what inspires a step towards celebrating abominations

That's just my view on how we've ended up here

^^^ This is why I unironically understand the shooters eco fascist position, because ever since the industrial revolution, secularization went into overdrive along with materialism.

I think he's a scumbag and a terrible person, though

Because gunning down innocent people, even if they are moslems, is reprehensible in my eyes

It takes a lot of nerve to go shooting up unarmed men, women, and children.

I was not disturbed by the footage as many people seemingly have been

But I feel an anger from seeing it

not from the disgust of seeing people being shot, because I can handle that, but because he shot them when they were just standing there, doing nothing but going about their day

No remorse, purely absorbed in his twisted ideology that engulfed his humanity a long time ago

In other words because hes no different than the ones that do it to us

He become so ideologically purist that it consumed his empathy.

He is no better

He's also a hypocrite

who vilifies them for "invading" his people as invaders and colonists

But does not see the irony as being an Australian man

Either colonialism is evil or it is not

You cannot have it both ways

Either accept it in every perceived form, or none at all

Given Australia is a former Commonwealth nation along with New Zealand I don't see it as cut and dry as that. They're both former colonies of the British Empire, and by extension Anglos. It is ironic tho to prove his point that he did it immigrating there. But his points remain. Mass immigration is unfortunately a reality for all the western block nations.

no, the issue is that he claims that ‘all colonizers share guilt’ and clearly is staunchly anti-colonizing, yet he is from a nation that is a product of colonization—and he sees no issue with that, which is super hypocritical

My point is that Australia is a British colony that usurped the land of its natives and British will was put over on them

I personally do not see that as a wrong thing, because I see colonialism as a good thing

But you cannot pick and choose

Can I post video to here or not?

Idk, I can't tell because I'm not a mod

@ Discernist or JohnMan, as they are seemingly online

I will not post unless permission. No worries guys

Senator Anning got more balls than our own politicians

Dying breed.

The right wing politicians here are the left wing ones from a decade ago. As for the land down under... how someone like that with those sorta views has survived a career as long as they have I can't help but be curious.
