At this point nobody is learning 'English', people are learning American because they watch American Movies, TV Shows, listen to American Music, eat American Food, play American Video Games, we watch literally millions of American Youtube and Tiktok Videos every day, we're following American Influencers and Celebrities, with American Social Media Australians are following American Politics more closely than Australian Politics and frequently confusing the two, in addition we're all addicted to the American Apps installed on American Operating Systems (all of them, Windows and MacOS and Android and IOS) on the American Smart Phones/Laptops/Desktops

The consequence of this is that we lose our culture, but as some French statesman said: why bother when everyone is enjoying everything?
nice work 💪
Well I mean your admin provided a pretty good reason below, couldn’t argue the point so just screamed racist!!! and probably raged in their chair they couldn’t ban me
This video never gets old, made 6 years old and still relevant as ever

I’m a centre-left labor voter irl who voted in favour of tackling climate change, 50c public transport and free school lunches, but when I come here apparently i’m hitler
Reality is that Mastodon/fediverse is at trump levels of echo chamber except with left wing progressives, and in the case of lemmy.ml … left wing regressives
my banned account on Mastodon for climate change denialism despite having solar panels, solar battery, ev a full electric house and i’ve used ecosia for years now shows how absurd this place can be if you don’t join in the circlejerk
i’m actually surprised i haven’t been banned, aussie.zone is cool, hopefully more people come over
Dang! Thanks for the help though :)
I'd prefer we don't import crime in the first place, if you're willing to get murdered or assaulted then go right ahead and be my guest... but most people would rather not
Yes Macron said this back in 2017
literally point number one:
- A Europe that guarantees security in all its aspects
In terms of defence, Europe must have a joint intervention force, a joint defence budget and a joint doctrine for action. We need to encourage the swift creation of a European Defence Fund, permanent structured cooperation, and supplement them with a European intervention initiative that better integrates our armed forces at all stages.
and what has changed since then and what is being implemented?
Well if you let this continue then the actions of 'some of their cohort' end up causing quite a bit of damage! See Europe right now which is dealing with a huge crime wave because of 'some of their cohort' and the majority of countries are now anti-immigrant.
Spread of gang violence wrecks Sweden's peaceful image
Swedish police do not currently map gang members' nationalities, but research for the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention in 2021 showed young people born in Sweden to two parents from abroad were overrepresented as suspects in murder cases and robberies.
So if you're pro-immigration then your best bet is to restrict immigration down to countries and cultures that match our values, importing immigrants from Palestine will for example result in the country regressing backwards politically, but you probably think that's racist so you're in quite a conundrum!
Can't support open immigration because that ultimately results in closed borders after increased crime/violence vs Can't support restricting immigration to countries that share our values because that would make you racist.
Tough times.

The pair cited evidence in Senate estimates that the cohort includes people convicted of murder or attempted murder (12), sexual offending (66), assault (97), domestic violence (15), serious drug offences (15) and people smuggling (5).
With Reddit finally making money, anyone who doesn’t like this side of Reddit will either learn to accept it or leave.
It's tough, I don't find much value in the decentralisation of a link aggregator, but there's no reddit alternative and the ones that were made before were filled to the brim with right wing nutters.
This place is on the side, far too left wing progressive for my liking but I'm relying on it and the whirlpool forums until something better comes along.
Imagine not knowing anything about the region
Maybe that's just me, I wouldn't run head first into a tank, get shot, then rely on western left wing progressives a million miles away for support, ironically the people you would least expect to stand up for a right wing hardliners, and some of you are still confused why this has split the left in two. You claim to hate Trump yet stand up for people who vote for and support people who are far more aggressive and less progressive than Trump could ever dream to be.
But it's funny you mention Ukraine as this just came up:
“We captured a lot of Russian weapons from HAMAS, may send them to Ukraine,” says Israeli politician
Weapons seized in Gaza should go to Kyiv since Ukraine and Israel face the same enemies, says Amir Weitmann, chairman of the liberals in the Israeli-governing Likud Party.
What are Russian weapons doing in Gaza? Most likely donated from the Iranian Regime right? Another lovely group of people you probably support without realising.
Do you also ask “when will Ukraine give up and sue for peace”?
Firstly no, because it was Palestine that invaded Israel on Oct 7th, primarily targeting anything with a heartbeat in some of the most disgusting acts I've seen since... the last Islamist attack probably a few weeks before
That invasion and genocide attempt was supported by the Palestinians and they have shown repeatedly in polls since then that they continue to support Hamas and it's military tactics with support levels that would make most European leaders blush.
JERUSALEM, Dec 13 (Reuters) - Almost three in four Palestinians believe the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas on Israel was correct, and the ensuing Gaza war has lifted support for the Islamist group both there and in the West Bank, a survey from a respected Palestinian polling institute found.
On top of this if the Palestinian army wants to spare women and children from death it is free to fight the IDF on the battlefield just like Ukraine and Russia, but it won't because it'll lose, so instead it relies on this shoot out of schools, hospitals, and standing on top of women and children tactic which has obvious consequences they have accepted.
Secondly Ukraine has clearly indicated that it is a western ally and has values similar to ours, unlike Palestine which we have nothing in common with and shares none of our values.
You want me to stand up for these people?

Yazidi woman rescued from Gaza after decade in captivity
A Yazidi woman who was kidnapped aged 11 in Iraq by the Islamic State group and subsequently taken to Gaza has been rescued after more than a decade in captivity there, officials from Israel, the US and Iraq said.
In numerous Yazidi villages, the population was rounded up. Men and boys over the age of 14 were separated from women and girls. The men were then led away and shot, while the women were abducted as the "spoils of war".
The Israeli military said the now 21-year-old's captor in Gaza had been killed during the ongoing war between Israel and the Palestinian armed group Hamas, probably as a result of an air strike.
What do you think the chances of finding an ISIS kidnapped sex slave in Ukraine is?
and finally the first thing me and the Saudi crown prince agree on:
Saudi crown prince said he personally 'doesn't care' about Palestinian issue
In his conversation with Blinken, the Saudi crown prince allegedly remarked, “Seventy percent of my population is younger than me. For most of them, they never really knew much about the Palestinian issue. And so they are being introduced to it for the first time through this conflict. It’s a huge problem. Am I personally interested in the Palestinian issue? I don’t but my people do so I have to make sure that’s meaningful.”
So yeah, if I was a Palestinian I'd probably be dead because I'd rather work with the Israeli's like Egypt and Jordan than have a stupid idiotic pointless war that somehow all 10 collective braincells of all Hamas members couldn't rub together to realise this was going to end badly for them.
Nah, I'm good, Ukraine needs my support, they are culturally similar to me and they are fighting a genuine evil dictatorship that doesn't want to surrender.
Israel literally gave Gaza back to them, it would have been so easy for them to just get to work and stop firing rockets, but when you immediately democratically vote in the guys that
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1988_Hamas_charter
The original Charter identified Hamas as the Muslim Brotherhood in Palestine and described its members to be god-fearing Muslims raising the banner of Jihad (armed struggle) in "the face of the oppressors." The charter defines the struggle to be against the Jews and calls for the eventual creation of an Islamic Palestinian state in all of former Mandatory Palestine, and the obliteration or dissolution of Israel.[4][5][6] The charter has been criticized for its use of antisemitic language,[7][8] which some commentators have characterized as incitement to genocide.[9][10] In 2017 Hamas released a new "Document of General Principles", sometimes called the 2017 charter.[11] While this did not repudiate the 1988 charter, it stated that Hamas's struggle was with Zionists, not Jews.[12][13][14][15]
What? Israel is angry at them after they tried to genocide it using classic islamic state jihadi tactics??? what??
