UK and Aus are just US mouthpieces at this point

Australia has gladly sent troops to every imperialist adventure the US has ever done, which is frankly baffling to me

If Australian politicians fail to be lap dogs for the US, the CIA reminds them of that time they couped the Australian PM.

I didn’t even know about this. Funny how I keep learning more bad things aboutamerikkka

Don't worry. Most Australians don't know about it either. Or the extent the US and UK can just order our government around and ignore our laws in our country.

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 34 points 2 months ago

It's not that baffling if you know how many US military bases are in Australia.

[-] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 32 points 2 months ago

I actually don't know how many, but it's not really surprising.

I'm sure the US says they're for ”defense” purposes, but realistically, who's invading Australia, except maybe to take out the US bases there think-about-it

Australia thinks China wants to invade us michael-laugh

Here's hoping The Second Emu War spills over to global communist revolution

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
