    LOVE TO SAY THAT A PERSON WHO LIVES IN A PLACE KNOWS LESS ABOUT THE SITUATION THAN ME A DUDE ON THE INTERNET

      Reminds me of y*nks prattling on and on about how Europe has 'Islamic No-Go Zones' all over the place and that it is on the brink of becoming a caliphate any day now.

      Speaking of which, why do I not hear about this as much nowadays?

          It’s actually crazy how little of a shit people give now about “RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISM” now than even a few years ago

            I think their line is Trump beat ISIS so it's not a threat anymore. Probably will suddenly be again once / if Biden gets in. Maybe Xi is funding new ISIS while simultaneously destroying Muslims in China.

              Nah, the shift has happened in Australia too. China is the new baddy. Part of my ongoing 'radicalise my partner further and further' campaign is a daily discussion of the media building us up for a war with China.

                  Oh yeah, but it's something that were being conditioned to be ok with. Even our 'left wing' newspapers and online publications have jumped onto the 'China hates muslims' and 'free Hong Kong' bandwagon.

                      I'd be worried about who left this kettle here, but it isn't white so it won't be in Australia for long.

                        That's not true we need indentured labourers to pick our crops.

                          True. Need to shift that labour somewhere. God knows we can't pay people a decent wage to do it.

          Wrong stereotype. We Chinese are mindless drones without creativity or individuality who are either completely asexual (men) or hyper sexual (women).

          We can be the "good" minorities if we never criticize white supremacy, try to assume a leadership position, or date white women.

        People started refuting it.

          Nah. You can't really refute that type of stuff because truth was never really a part of it. Focus shifted to domestic problems and china.

            This is the right answer. The imperialist hate machine moved on to the new target. The greatest threat to american hegemony....

            GYNA!

      Eh if some white reactionary from Venezuela said Maduro was literally Hitler I wouldn't be trusting them either.
