It’s a small window into the racism, hatred and jingoism of our past. I feel like I need to define “jingoism” for those that see that word and assume it’s a typo. It’s an actual word y’all. It means extreme/excessive national pride. “My country, right or wrong….”

I'm from Australia. We know all about racial hatred and jingoism. It's how the LNP gets elected to Parliament.

I am not up to speed on Aussie politics. But I feel safe that “fuck the LNP” is the righteous position.

This was our Deputy Prime Minister, Barnaby Joyce. The LNP's finest. That's a picture from last year in the nation's capital, drunkely swearing into a phone. He left his wife for a staffer, and was accused of sexual harassment by a member of his own party. He still has a seat in Parliament.
