      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.
