I never paid attention to the newspapers, so I donāt know if itās always like this.
All defending maximum murder or suffering (through genocide or global warming). What the hell is wrong with this country?
If these are the sources of information of a population itās not hard to imagine the result. I am really hoping itās just the rich playing with their toys (the newspapers) the way they like, but that it is not really effective in brainwashing the population. That they question what is fed to them.
Anyway, I just thought it amazing and to share my depression with more people. Maybe thatās just every day news and nothing unusual. I imagine itās probably all owned by the same zionist or super villain or something.
Since the image canāt be read, the one on the left says that if Australia doesnāt support the international court on netanyahuhaha the country becomes terrorist. The second is the typical āpeople are not supporting my genocide, Iām being holocaustedā. The third is asking for harsher punishment for those āfoolsā destroying the economy and wasting peopleās time with imaginary environment issues that could lead to human extinction.
edit. I posted to lemmy.world by mistake. Lemmy is so confusingā¦ edit2. Is the image showing? It didnāt show the first try.

āActivists expect leniencyā
Fuck that I was prepared for the $22k fine, I wasnāt keen on the prison time but it was a risk I was willing to take. Everyone who was arrested yesterday feels the same way.
Fossil fuel billionaires do not contribute to the economy, they rape the earth stealing natural resources and rake in profits with next to no taxation. We stood in solidarity with workers this last week, weāre the ones fighting for a better economy for Australia. Chants in support of the Maritime Workers Union could be heard across the channel, Rising Tide wants their future careers to be secure. They are not just tools for profit to be discarded when the earth is destroyed.
And finally Iāll always stand up for Palestine, Iām pretty damn proud to have been out there on the water wearing my keffiyeh. Fuck the news media, theyāve destroyed the nation I once loved and are essentially what radicalized me.
22k? Holy shit. I would be so crazy angry. Youāre being force to financially reward the people destroying your future. That would eat me up inside even if that amount didnāt hurt.
So they get rich destroying your future and you have to give them more money for it.
You guys are heroes. I couldnāt take that. Iām glad there are people not like me. I would think non stop about a justice I canāt make happen. Like some peopleās heads on a guillotine.
Iām not hero, but that means a lot. Iām just some punk who had enough of lying around depressed and mourning the future I once thought I had. You donāt need to be like me to help a ton, just talking to people and sharing news is a huge thing. So many ways you can help from the comfort of your own home, calling/emailing MPs or even just telling your more conservative friends and families how important this is.
A couple of points about the $22k and 2 years in prison, those sentences are 1: Draconian and part of anti-protestor laws and 2: Extremely hard to actually get as itās the maximum, even with priors.
Also we donāt reward the cops! The money is collected by revenue NSW and goes towards community programs, so Iām actually pretty happy to pay into that. My fine will be a maximum of $330 because I was charged under a different thing, but some of the 170 arrestees on Sunday are falling under that $22k maximum one.
We are all giving money to those fossil fuel billionaires, tax payers are subsiding ~$14B towards fossil fuels and those fuckers do not pay much if any tax.
You are right about the super villain bit although FR is owned by Nine.
So itās the same channel i see everywhere that makes me want to throw up. I keep changing channel in places i see that on and people change back, like in gyms. People around here actually like to feel their neurons melting. It doesnāt just happen to be the default, itās what they want to see. They go after it.
I donāt see much hope for this population.
And whoās that guy? He looks like a sad villain. I hope he is very sad. But that might be why he does this. He wants to spread his misery.
I donāt know if changing the channel in the gym is the kind of activism that will give you the best impression about what hope there is. I know what you mean though. When I dropped out of school and picked up some work as a painter my boss told me to stop changing the radio to Triple J on the job because the builders wouldnāt like that kind of music. All I knew was I couldnāt handle listening to advertising all day. Maybe thatās just some peopleās jam.
That is Rupert Murdoch. He might be sad. I highly doubt it though.
