A thread on politics- have some balls and post

[dlanod]

I must admit, I watched this interview and I still don't really understand how this polymarket is any different to a traditional betting exchange like Betfair.

Prediction markets act more like a stock market where you buy/sell stock in certain predictions with other people on the site. It's like Betfair, if the centralised bookie part of Betfair was played by millions of individuals around the world instead.

How can people not be worried about a second Trump administration when he's put a Fox TV host in as the defense chief, a conspiracy theorist with a worm eaten brain in as the health chief, is sacking Generals who basically disagree with him...

Worse is the amount of power that he has given Musk when you dig into it.

There's a really interesting video of a guy comparing the new Department of Govt Efficiency to the Gestapo. Their roles are nearly word for word identical... and one of the core principles is basically rooting out people in the government who disagree with the President...

Sure efficiency is a great thing to chase but if it gives you over arching power to change and manipulate systems ad nauseam? Especially by a man who has received tens of billions of dollars from US agencies like NASA already??

Let's hope the stories about Musk already wearing out his welcome at Mara-a-Largo are true.

But it is. Betfair is simply an exchange. I can take either side of a bet if I so choose. Just as I can buy or sell shares on the stock market. Betfair doesn't take any side of the bet. It just clips the ticket on the way through, just like a stockbroker.

Didn't realise that's what they did, the ads always make them sound like the normal bookies.

I’m in your camp

 

[Lion Jack]

I’m getting a bit sick of these Pro-Palestine Protestors, who have issued a blackmail threat to Myer, to cancel the formal launch of their Christmas windows display for children this Sunday in Melbourne.

They said, if Myer doesn't, they will crash the event.

It is quite spectacular that the endgame of Qanon was putting a nonce in charge of law enforcement.

These people are pathetic; so they endorse their own people attacking and murdering innocent 20 year olds at a concert and then cry wolf when their pathetic country is given an ass whooping and then went people globally to give a shit.

Better yet, these people should just piss odd and go live in Palestine if they feel so strongly about it because people are sick and tired of their protests that mean zero to people who don’t care. Hopefully enough folk in Melbourne should stomp their arses in the mall and run the pathetic agitators out of the city because we know the police won’t hand out some old school justice. I honestly don’t understand why these people even live in Australia when they hate the place as much as they do because a large majority really hate everything they stand for including them personally.

On top of that, imagine being so pathetic you need to go and cause violence spewing your BS propaganda about an issue people are sick of to a bunch of parents trying to take their kids to a Xmas window and then have to put up with this garbage. Time to break out the capsicum spray, rubber bullets and whatever else and swat these zeros away.

I too am a firm believer in taking to the streets and flogging people whose politics I don't agree with. This is the way forward for Australia.

Join me Brother.

Or you could just rant about your sadistic fantasies in anonymity behind your keyboard. Warrior.

Polotics; seriously what's the point of anyone protesting about Palestine half the world away? Seriously, what does it achieve? You really reckon the Israeli government or anyone around the world is waiting on people of Australia's view. Yep, yet these agitators are going to target small kids and their parents looking at a Xmas nativity exhibition. That's pretty tough and surely going to get through to anyone. Go ahead, keep supporting these nut jobs.

This is probably your worst post on this place. How should people show their displeasure with the systematic destruction and displacement of the Palestinian people?

Do you see the irony in you complaining about police not brutalising protestors while at the same time saying that people who don’t like how we do things in Australia should leave? Or nah.

And complaining and protesting and disrupting families going to see the Myer Xmas exhibit helps anyone how. Or countless idiots around the world interrupting comedians doing a set helps Palestinians how. What’s someone waving their fist at the clouds about this issue here in Australia going to achieve.

I don’t know a single person who feels sympathy with what’s going on over there and if anything are more upset about what these nutjobs did to innocent people at a concert because they started this mess and now these pro Palestine fools want sympathy. Give me a break.

You barely need to go looking for it anymore; people are fed up with this crap but good on them for stopping some parents taking their toddlers to a Xmas exhibition.

In all of your posts you clearly don’t even know there is a difference between Hamas and the Palestinian people. Your opinions are breathtaking relative to your ignorance. When you read shit on twitter you need to actually interrogate what you’re reading and think critically. Most of the stuff posted on there is blatantly untrue or severely biased.

 

[Lion Jack]

Too funny, watching these videos on YouTube of people getting so angry and emotional with Donald Trump announcing his cabinet and staff. Why are liberal men and women so freaking unhinged in the States? These people need to get a grip!

Of course I know the difference but they’re all lumped in together because there demonstrations are pointless. They’re sooking it up all around the world and disrupting people going about their business banging on about things that the vast majority simply don’t care about or that they’ve brought on themselves.

Enlighten me them; how is carrying on in the manner they do on the other side of the world helping anyone? To a lot of people they’ve actually created more resentment than any modicum of sympathy to whatever their rubbish cause is.

I’m sure they’d protest in Gaza too if they weren’t being subjected to genocide and displacement.

As you say, you don’t care that this is happening, so why have so many opinions on it? Wouldn’t it be easier to just live in ignorance if you don’t care?

I don't engage in politics anymore but just wanted to clarify ... you don't know <one> single person who feels sympathy for the Palestinians? Obviously you don't mean online because you know some of them in this thread ...

Again, happens on both sides

I’d be pretty worried if an anti-science, anti-vaxxer got put in charge of our health system in Australia.

The Conversation published research by academics at the Ohio State University in August 2019 that found that people regularly mistook satirical reports from The Babylon Bee, The Colbert Report, The Onion, and others for genuine news. They found that "stories published by the Bee were among the most shared factually inaccurate content in almost every survey we conducted." They also found that both Republicans and Democrats mistook articles from The Babylon Bee as news, but Republicans were considerably more likely to do so.

Perhaps if they didn't target innocent people by murdering and raping innocent people at a concert or in their villages on 7 October this crap wouldn't have started to the extent it now has where these nut jobs in Australia have only picked up their cause who in other words are endorsing their actions of murder, torture and rape because they were nowhere to be seen before then. Looking at a lot of their actions in Australia I can see why they endorse such behavior because they make out they are about peace and yet carry on and support murderers and rapists.

When they disrupt so many people going about their business such as visiting Xmas exhibits, stopping traffic just like the hypocritic no oil clowns, shutting down streets all over the country, then yeah I do care about these nut job leftist people who really hate Australia with the way they carry on and begs the question, why live here or do things that are just so hypocritical to your cause.

I knew it was the Babylon Bee and was satirical, I thought it was funny and worth a post on here.
