Lets not all forget the whole "Sudanese gangs" shit that went on in melbourne.

Racist ass country, don't let anyone tell you it's not

[black-mesa-runs-wikipedia]

And for those that don't know, there were recently NAZI MARCHES all over Australia, organised by the National Socialist Network, a nazi organisation.

For those that don't know, nazis used to call themselves National Socialists to confuse people, as socialism is left wing and nazi ideology is right wing.

Trigger warning for racism and hate crimes.

This is one of their fliers - my apologies for not being able to provide an image ID.

The rallies were specifically anti-immigration. They used our housing crisis and cost of living crisis to try to blame immigration, even though we all know that billionares hoarding wealth and our government's choice not to take proper action are the real problems here.

After the rallies, they attacked an Aboriginal camp, Camp Sovereign. Tragically, several people they attacked were seriously injured and had to be hospitalised.

(Warning, this YouTube link is a link to a video of the attack.)

The nazis continued to patrol near the camp in the days following. The campers posted requests for allies to come camp with them to help them stay safe.

Afterwards, Australians still haven't been able to agree on the rallies. 'Sure, there were *some* nazis there, but we can't blame EVERYONE who went, can we?' And many people who attended claimed that the nazis invited themselves, and ruined what could have been a good event. I've had many a distant Facebook friend try to tell me that it's wrong for me to not give them the benefit of the doubt. They were promptly blocked.

If you go to an anti-immigration rally and are shocked to find nazis there, are shocked to find out it was organised by nazis, I don't know what to tell you. There's a pretty big overlap for obvious reasons. If you start sympathising with nazi talking points, you got tricked and you're racist. Apologise and start unlearning that shit, don't pretend you're one of the good ones.

seeing like. gavin newsom tweet about being "against political violence" really lays bare how that means fucking nothing, huh. like, yeah, i do think it is generally bad, actually, when people get shot in public, and the fact that it's happening with politicians and pundits (not just this but the minnesota democrats who were murdered a few weeks back) is a bad sign for how things are going. but how are you going to come out as a usamerican politician against "political violence." political violence is this country's number one export. political violence is sending ICE into cities in the style of a civil war. political violence is manufacturing consent for murdering trans people in bathrooms. political violence is murdering immigrants by detaining them in concentration camps or sending them to countries they have never been and places they will die. political violence is funding the gazan genocide so the united states can have an oil outpost in the middle east. and the moment you speak out is when when the violently racist misogynistic anti-vaxx climate-change-denying neomccarthyism motherfucker gets a taste of the life or death stakes of all the shit he "debates" about? give me a break

Do not waste your tears over fascists. "He was somebody's this, he was somebody's that". Michael Brown was someone's son, and so was Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice, Emmett Till. Sandra Bland was someone's daughter, and so was Breonna Taylor, while she slept. Sonya Massey, too, was someone's baby girl. Latasha Harlins was someone's baby. Martin Luther King Jr was somebody's son, husband and father, and yet the FBI killed him. Fred Hampton, Malcolm X, Patrice Lumumba. Hind Rajab, someone's baby. Khaled Nabhan, and his granddaughter, soul of his soul. Refaat Alareer. And on and on and on, every martyr, every Black and Palestinian person whose been told over and over again how cheap our blood is, how NOTHING our life is. I do not weep over the death of white supremacist, I fucking cheer. One less of them means a Black or brown child can live another day.

i hate when something violent happens to a right wing politician and every left leaning pundit and politician gets on their soap box about how "violence isn't the answer" as if the right wing ideology doesn't inherently encourage violence.

[userfish]

"his son just had his first birthday" they're separating families. they're attacking trans people. they're building concentration camps. they send "thoughts and prayers" for school shootings and don't enact real change to prevent others. they have stood by israel, which is bombing nurseries. they stormed the capitol and physically harmed others. and i'm supposed to be sad he got shot at?

you can tell i'm feeling down rn because i'm not even excited for 9/11 this year. it's like all of the magic has gone out of the holiday

[estrogenesis-eeveeangelion]

what we really need this year to bring the magic back is a good old-fashioned 9/11 miracle

The main difference between the weather being uncomfortably cold, and the weather being uncomfortably hot, is that the things you can do in the cold to warm yourself up (hot food/beverage, blankets, cuddles, nice clothes like sweaters, thick scarves and snazzy jackets, getting exercise) are very pleasant and very effective, and the things you can do in the heat to cool yourself down don't do shit.

Pay attention to the particulars of Mastercard's responses, because this a textbook example of how to create plausible deniability.

"Mastercard has not barred any legal transaction" is, technically, a true statement – because Mastercard is not the one processing the transactions in the first place. Mastercard does not deal directly with any merchant, and in fact typically refuses to communicate with merchants at all; there's always a payment processing service sitting in between Mastercard and the merchant, whether that's Stripe or Paypal or any of dozens of other service providers.

Consequently, there are two layers of service agreements in place: the agreement between Mastercard and the payment processing service, and the agreement between the payment processing service and the merchant. That second layer of service agreements, between the payment processing service and the merchant, is where all of these content restrictions are being imposed. Mastercard can thus truthfully claim that they aren't barring legal transactions.

Now, if you've been paying attention, you've probably already spotted the issue: if the content restrictions are being imposed upon the merchants by individual payment processing services and not by Mastercard, why do all of those payment processing services seem to have exactly the same content restrictions?

That's where the critical sleight of hand comes in: while Mastercard's own terms of service do not require payment processing services to bar transactions of particular types, their ToS does require payment processors to bar transactions which could be damaging to the Mastercard brand. What constitutes damage to the Mastercard brand is not defined; it means whatever Mastercard wants it to mean. The payment processing services are thus in a position where they can be held in breach of Mastercard's terms of service for basically any reason, which gives them a strong incentive not to test any boundaries.

And that's why Mastercard can truthfully say they have never barred any legal transaction: they're never the ones doing the blocking. The layer of payment processing services that sits between Mastercard and the merchants are enforcing those content restrictions, based on a series of unwritten handshake agreements between the payment processors and Mastercard regarding what does and does not constitute acceptable content – and because the particulars of those handshake agreements aren't in writing, Mastercard can assert that their terms of service do not compel payment processing services to bar any legal transaction and technically be telling the truth.

[prokopetz]

(This is also why payment processors like CCBill that specialise in adult services can exist, incidentally. Since it's all off the books, specialist adult-services payment processors can have their own special arrangements with companies like Mastercard while still technically being under the same terms of service as everyone else.)
