Australia Day

[GNR4LIFE]

It’s a carryover from their failed attempts to cancel Christmas the month previous. They go quiet then for a while until the Kings Birthday or something similar.

Lol who tried cancelling Christmas?

Good point. Being woke is not just about 'learning' or educating though. It is an attitude of unnecessary and overexaggerated progressivism. The opposite of bogans/boomers who are too unwilling to change. People in privileged positions are usually the ones 'protesting' these things. University professors, celebrities, public servants, politicians. Many of these types have no idea of the reality that faces everyday Aussies that work hard for little in comparison and come from areas which aren't as privileged yet speak for them. It is arrogance. There are levels to raising awareness. I have joined groups for social issues in society such as government law changes as well as social justice issues. What is wrong, is using sport as an avenue to push 'inclusiveness'. Sport is an escape from the harsh realities of life. Not a place to bring politics in to which brings division and disagreement and takes away from the thing we came to, basically destroying the whole purpose of why people watch sport, for entertainment. It is the same with watching movies, the movie industry is being corrupted with woke revisionism of redefining storylines to suit a political agenda. Even video games. Things people use as an escape route from the world today. There's a difference between being a good virtuous person and being woke. A good virtuous person leads by example through their action and backs up what they say. They also don't shove their opinions (right or wrong) in other people's faces. A woke person is a hypocrite who typically is consistent with their values only in principle but not practically. They force their view on others and if you go against the hivemind or trend then you are cancelled for having a different opinion. They are very hypocritical. Having a neighbour who is exactly like this makes it even more clear to me

I find myself agreeing with a lot of the things
you say and disagreeing on a lot of other things!

Why does it matter who is saying it? If there are a group of people saying the day is a day they can't celebrate then why would you want our national day on that day?

So you would change the wants of the vast majority to appease the ultimate minority?
I sincerely hope you never run for elected office.

There’s always some screaming groups who try every year.
I don’t believe you have never heard of them.

No I think we should have a date all Australians can celebrate.

Public servants are privileged people with no idea about everyday life? That's an incredibly ignorant take. You can give a RN a serve next time you’re in hospital about how much of a woke elitist they are.

You'll notice I said 'many of these types', not all. Firies, cops, ambos, nurses are a minority in the collection of public servants. Many people on councils and involved with government companies are absolute bludgers and out of touch with society. A lot of teachers nowadays have elitist attitudes who use it to brainwash students their political opinions.

The War on Christmas is a myth.

 

[Tucker]

That's not true bro. Not true at all, you don't mean
that. I don't hate white people, that's crazy Tuck

Everyone has prejudices.
Yours appears to me, that you associate nationalism/patriotism with the types who participated in the Cronulla Riots.
If that is incorrect I stand chastised and withdraw the comment.

So you have heard of it, why the misdirection?

You can never please everyone and you will drive yourself insane trying to.
There will never be consensus with this issue.

That’s like saying to an Atheist “SO YOU HAVE HEARD OF HIM” after they mention having heard of God.

Still misdirecting. Your initial comment to me is becoming funnier.

Happy holidays lol

Who is trying to cancel Christmas? Would save me a fortune each year.

Serious? What you claimed is a form of what people refer to as War on Christmas. That’s what people who complain call It. I’m saying it doesn’t exist.

No such date exists. Move the date to appease some people, and you only piss of other people.
