Australia is such a circlejerk. Fraser Anning is literally just some retard no one likes, 90% of the country and news media is engaged in two minutes hate against him. Random private school kid egging him—so brave.

we crave these big events because it's an excuse to signal our true feelings about the greater narrative

we all want people to die so that we can use their deaths as evidence to support our claims

Not to mention the "child" is 17. He handled it pretty well, honestly. Other politicians would have just cowered or stand there humiliated.

I'm going to assume you mean that about your pic.

You mean a rich private school kid acting as a corporate dog as usual, attacking dissenting political views. Literally doing exactly what the entirety of the media and corps want, not to mention the almost the entire population (because they're shaped by said media and corps). All these supposed leftist activists are just violent bullies for the interests of the status quo. If it were as you say, then he wouldn't get unanimous support especially not from random people who don't know anything about the matter but saw an article on it that told them it was a good thing.

But this thinking is a result of rebelliousness being a stock facet of entertainment media, so every incoherent or destructive retard can pretend to be a rebel or individualist, assuming the aesthetic without the substance or any proper intent or purpose, really. Westerners are extreme collectivists while rejecting its benefits. No strength as a group, and no individuality whatsoever. Your love for such a narrative and aesthetic was seeded by mass media.

All this kid cared about is getting a funny video for his friends. He probably doesn't know jack shit about politics and just heard that this guy was an evil right winger.

And how is shutting down unpopular opinions count as standing up for something? Is he standing up for the vast majority of people who already have their voice heard?
