mfw African, Australian, and Asian politics is under "other"

we will see if there's enough need to split it further

Australia is pretty meh to be honest.

last time every person wanted a new channel for everything

You don't really get a whole lot of discussions. Maybe things have changed.

aus was less used than the others last time, but we might have need to split it off

i dnt think we have all that many Asians and Africans in here that would use those channels

Did Canada get used much? Didn't it get created last, (last time you guys did this)

>other politics

it got used a fair bit, i think they got bullied out of the other channels XD

LMAO

as it should be 😉

Well... I played no part in that bullying.

strayans get what they deserve

Australia is basically a nanny state, they don't mind the slow walk to authoritarian government if it means safety

I told my aunt that Queensland becoming a nanny state, she got quite defensive. this was for hearing that your not aloud to honk your cars horn to say good buy type thing.

Law in Victoria recently forcing practicing electronic and electrical engineers to register to be able to practice. Just because some doggy civil engineers have been shit.

I don't have a radio nor a tv so i'm quite out of the loop.

I stopped bothering to be honest. I just don't see a point. They (majority of the population - who are forced to vote) don't really care if aus becomes a complete nanny state.

Keep the links, talk and posting to the politics of the channel please. Do not post off topic, that is what we have the Xenoi channels for. Thank you!

A fair few people I know are quite annoyed by the nannyifacation of the state, however there isn't really much they can do about it as long as the political parties are in consensus about it.

Oh it is fucking frustrating. But they don't mind less freedom, they don't mind centralized government control, nor if the states cracks down on things that aren't considered "un-polite".

They are doing the good thing and that's really as far as the discussions tend to go in my view.

They're babies in adult bodies

There isn't this entrepreneurship perspective that is seen in the US, most people want government intervention to sort out problems.

I think it's less that the don't mind less freedom, and more that there are other issues that are more important to them. Which if you believe those values are more important can be quite annoying.

Not a bad way to summarize it. I don't like the framework, but that's more akin to their thoughts

It's totallay fine to have less freedom as long as it doesn't offend my sensitivities mkay

my house mate, she was utterly confused about the idea of a small government. "Having more members get to conclusion faster" was her response.

modern politics is very bad at prioritising more than one thing at a time

@DEPChimp yea, some people are idiots, never going to get away from that.

@DEPChimp Just explain it to her like this: "If the nanny state decides it's more efficient to take your kids away from you, would you be in favor of that?" And if she answers "no" then just ask her why she thinks efficiency is a good reason to take any of people's freedoms away.

She'd have to bend over backwards twice to splain that

o boy, she thinks its a good idea that parents need a licence to have kids, coos what if the parents are pedos.
