The train wreck doco on Bros is on SBS right now.
It’s better satire than Spinal Tap.

I'm still convinced that one of Bros played Biff in Back to the Future even though I know they didn't.

You guys realise that both the crimes against humanity committed by China and crimes against civilians perpetuated by Australian troops can both be ****ed up right

Mad Max 2 on the tele

Have not seen for years

Reminds me, is the new Mad Max film any good? I keep meaning to watch it

 

[backtozero]

i cant do anything about the horrible human rights abuses perpetuated by china

as an australian citizen i can sure be upset about our soldiers murdering civilians though

You can't do anything except be upset about both.

They are being held responsible through proper channels as we speak, which is far more than China could ever say. Anyone asked them about their concentration camps?

Good to see you are buying into the self hating Chinese propaganda though.

These ones

Xinjiang: Large numbers of new detention camps uncovered in report

China has a far bigger network of detention centres than was previously thought, a report says.

Scooped 6 Oscars and universal acclaim as the best action film of the 21st century. So obviously it's very shit.

Imagine if Cobra Kai and Aunty Donna ****ed and then had octuplets, but then the mother bird got killed and the chicks had to eat each other to survive until only one remained and left the nest. Well, it's not that.

I feel bad for the big German old timey strong dude in Raiders of the Ark. Seemed like a good bloke who believed in a fair and clean fight.

Probably because one is a post-apocalyptic wasteland filled with mutated freaks while the other is a Mel Gibson movie.

All this posturing of who holds the moral higher ground is ridiculous. We blíndly go all the way with LBJ every time the US prod us into wars we, most of the time, don’t really know what we’re in for and we expect our soldiers to behave according to the rules of fair warfare in such an incredibly difficult and sometimes inhumane environment. And then we have China with their own atrocities schooling us on what’s right or wrong for political advancement. The same China we turn a blind eye to, as as we have, for the purpose of billions of dollars of trade and products we can afford.

 

[edgie]

Is it any good or not?

It’s quite good but I’ve never felt a pull to go back for another view. Just YouTubing the soundtrack is enough.

China - Australia relations rn

australians should try being pissed off about the atrocities the soldiers committed in afghanistan instead

Have you been watching a different media where Australians haven't been condemning the actions of some soldiers in Afghanistan?

I don't watch much media
My point was that getting angry about a Chinese cartoon/meme thing was stupid

Like a good politician, it’s faux anger. Why isn’t he angry at his mentor for putting all those soldiers in conditions that totally **** them up as humans on the basis of Powell, Bush etc claiming WMD?

Lol. People that join the SAS do it of their own free will. They know what they are getting into. Australia, after being saved from Japanese invasion by the USA and in a post WW2 Cold War situation made the correct decision to become a key ally of the United States. As part of that key Alliance, there are certain commitments you make. Australia's Geopolitical place in the world is dependent on its US alliance. To suggest that a few rouge psychopaths in the SAS is the fault of our Alliance with the US and George Bush's administration is ridiculous. Sure, the 2nd Gulf war and the Afghan conflicts have proven to be a complete shit sandwich, but history is littered with such shit sandwiches.

lol, an aussie journo posted the taiwanese flag on the dudes twitter that posted the doctored soldier pic. Immediately blocked.

What? They know they’ll probably end up killing innocent civilians? Ok.
Of course we’re indebted to the yanks, that’s why we continue to jump at their requests. Then we blame the soldiers “who know what they’re getting into”.
It’s ridiculous to believe that there’s only a few rogue sociopaths involved in war crimes.
