The whiplash from how quickly Aussie media will label any pro-Palestine protest as ‘antisemitic’ but when actual Neo-Nazis are protesting on some white supremacist shit the media is like ‘woah woah woah. let’s not go throwing any labels around’

Lucy Zelic is so insultingly dim.
If we returned to those times, most women wouldn’t be allowed the opportunities she has (or even have a credit card)
But she genuinely thinks she’d be exempt from that because she thinks she’s exceptional

Reading Anthony Albanese’s speeches on the Invasion of Iraq & Australia’s fealty to American militarist empire in 2003 & 2005 is enough to make you feel insane. Imagine if that man - now strangulated by his middle-aged neocon doppelgänger - were PM.

MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful."
Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd.
Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

The most maddening thing is that it would be perfectly fine to write "9News reporter shot by police" because it is it accurate, true and backed up by the video footage.
Even *if* the cops want to claim it was accidental, to word "shoot" says nothing about intent.
We're using passive voice to lie.

and here's the context: extreme passive voice from her own outlet
