The Pride thread 🌈

[the phantom menace]

Maybe you need to challenge your assumptions?

Except you've avoided the key point about the white middle class trying to compel their lessers to adopt their values.

We're talking rugby union here... it's not drawn from the working class. Some or even many may no longer be "white", but if they went to Kings like Penisini and the like, they're hardly not middle class.

As I said, even though we laregly agree that doesn't stop sentences in the post from being piffle.

Ah yes, you just want people to be kind, right? Such a harmless ideology! 'Punching down' is wrong! Except when the targets are people of lower socioeconomic status. Working class Polynesian Christians are obviously terrible oppressors. They must be reeducated to challenge their assumptions!

Did you post in the right thread? That all has literally nothing to do with the post you are replying to... though you have previously argued both sides of an issue (sometimes even against yourself).

I know just the man for it.

Personally I think this one does a better job.

Scholarship kids aren't middle class, though maybe one day their kids will be.

It was a parody of all of your 'content' in this thread.

I only heard of the word in the last 12mths. Prior I thought woke was about being asleep and getting up. "I woke up"

It depends on where you spend your time, but I guess for the average merkin here in Australia who's algorithms don't lead them to culture wars nonsense, particularly from the US, you'd have only really heard the term used in the derogatory sense by the right wing press, or by those who parrot such people.

You might even wonder what the hell all they're on about, because in day to day lives all this culture war shit seems a lot like the whole reds under beds scare politics from the cold war, it just doesn't raise it's head, and seems all a bit of an ado about nothing.

For the most part it's just confected outrage from the more conservative right here in Australia, just another political battleground used to get folks angry or fearful about something, and it's mostly being driven by the likes of Murdoch and Nine, who are very busy trying to import the worst of US politics here.

Good luck to them, they'll win a few hearts and minds, but for the most part folks here won't give a f**k, because unless the Trans Persons of Colour Lesbian Whale Brigade start taking their jobs and gobbling up all the welfare whilst clogging the freeway with their dodgy boats, it doesn't affect their day to day lives.

Sure it was... only after it's been called out for being silly.

Debatable, depends how you measure it. Their parents would have the "aspirational" trait to even be looking for such "opportunities" to mix in "high company", so in terms of culture at home, they're likely hardly working class either.

You would at least think they’re hungry to gobble up all the middle class culture they can get. This is how we got a generation of bogans with cultural cringe, like yourself. I believe they used to call performative wokeness ‘airs and graces’.

And I agree, it’s silly.

Again, making simplistic assumptions out of thin air - and proving your ignorance on the topics you attempt to introduce.

But all the best with that...

Happy 45th Mardi Gras.

 

[hindy111]

Nobody cares about Mardi gra anymore. Used to be a big thing. Now it comes and goes without much interest I feel.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Now that corporates and government bodies are on the bandwagon it's just become lame. Look mum there's the Australian Public Service float! Sad.

Sure thing guys.

Oh look Mum, it's the B list ad agency float! Those actors parody working class 'blokes' with barbecues on TV!

It is uninteresting and boring nowdays. But some people love to feel special amd need attention.

I remember when you could chew your own face off while watching some nuns on a truck flash their nuts, as the big hairy dudes next to you jerked each other off.

Kids these days get to see this instead:
