Refugees go home! Immigrants go home! Tourists go home! Rallies everywhere, some countries railing against all three. Xenophobia rules, okay? What's wrong with people?

“ Jeez guys, why are our tourism revenues in the toilet?” 🙄🤣🤬
Tourism, governments & business promote it, everyone wants it, until you can't get a seat on the bus, book a taxi, or find a place to rent. And the Japanese want you to stop staring at their sacred Mount Fuji & taking your sacred snaps of it. Just cut it out!
Perhaps they don't feel they have a voice. . . which indeed they don't. The Lobbyists have taken our voice. So, someone has to pay. Pecking order says, "attack those on the ladder rung beneath you".
They have the same amount of voice as others. It's just some are not worth listening to.
Whaaat. . .I don't have the funds to request a private interview with a politician of my choice in the Capital! We, of the 'hoi polloi' do not have the "same amount of voice.
No, but you can protest. You can voice to others. The media can (and is) expressing that voice. Nothing has changed since society was created. Besides having a vote. You make it sound ok for racists and the ill-informed to march because "they don't have a voice". Yet the march and have a voice.
I'm simply complaining about the Mining council and Advance and Harvey Norman etc having a voice above and beyond their voting voice. I'm anti-lobbyist. That's not really connected to activist rights.
"What's wrong with people?" People are the biggest danger to the future of our species.
Totally agree Phil. In addition to all the wilful killing that goes on, the majority doesn't seem to be too interested in saving their collective arses, other critters or the planet itself.
The carefree attitude towards the future environment is shocking to me. How can people - especially with offspring -disregard the long term impact of today's actions? Don't they care about the environment that we hand on to our children? And there is the ignorance of things being done to others.
So far Phil, the ones suffering the most (drought, famine, rising coastline) are the ones causing the least amount of Global Warming leading to Climate Change. Wealthy least affected, so far. Ten years ago, someone sd when Wall Street says it's time to act we will see some action.
Just about everyone is going to be priced out of insurance within a fairly short period of time. Maybe they will raise an eyebrow then.
In some part of England people hv bn told to abandon their coastal homes. The local council has given up on coastal defences against rising sea levels.
I can't be sympathetic with people who rebuild or refurbish homes destroyed by (almost) annual floods. Especially when the floods are becoming more severe.
Also electricity, rent & some foodstuff. Indonesians rioting over living allowance paid to MPs, more than most citizens earn. Many citizens being gamed by systems they can't control or influence.
And of course many citizens actually vote against there own best interests - often because they are racist or xenophobic or just terrified of any sort of change.
Yes, but I've bn encouraged by the savaging the Liberal part of the LNP hs bn getting in recent federal elections. It seems many voters hv finally seen the light. I don't believe the Liberals can find a new direction. They're more likely to split.
Why are some of those bars out of date order?
The cake is getting smaller, and nobody wants to share. Except with the super rich of course Nobody asks about their pigmentation or nationality.
Powerful people are spending a lot of money to stoke these grievances, its surprisingly easy to generate hate it would appear
We have some specialists in that field in Australia. They mainly belong to the "Liberal" party, Murdoch media & the stink tank The Institute of Public Affairs.
Piss poor potty training. It's generational.
It's a real thing. I see it in the cafe daily. Some children well behaved others tearing around, throwing toys around, screaming when they're denied anything. The difference is due to parenting (or not parenting).
