As the bloke above said, Aussies are generally politically apathetic, stuck in the "she'll be right vortex" and too afraid to rock their own boat to stand up for the rights of their fellow Australians.
I remember as a kid (im only 35) you could take the piss, have a laugh, stir people up a bit and you were more likely to cop a smack in the mouth as opposed to having some weirdo crying and telling you that they are offended and that you are a bigot, racist, homophobic, anti- this that or the other.
Honestly, if I knew this is the direction the world was going, I would never have had kids.
Having said that, things will shift back away from this soft as butter left wing nonsense eventually.
I don't know if my generation will see it, but hopefully my kids generation might.
As an aside, I find it interesting that people can be offended by nonsensical garbage, yet won't stand tall on the big issues.
My fear is - it cannot go away now.
Lawyers / greed / corruption mean it now can’t regress, because it has become so ingrained - “ambulance chaser” now encompasses anyone “offended” .
I saw someone who was recently Offended that 3 ppl had called them a “xxxxxx” on freakbook? It was On 60 minutes - where 3 ppl were bankrupted by an offended person (details here are being washed over on purpose) - there was money to be made, ppl took advantage...I just can’t see it getting anything but worse...
I remember when I was in family court 10 years ago - I partially represented myself and wrote a letter in response to one received by a legal team from other side. The letter I wrote back was 6 pages long and addressed Certain points raised by the legal team - then I received a letter back, saying the other legal team were offended by the length of my response, that they were applying to the court for their time to read, comprehend and reply to the lengthy reply...of course it was insanity and they wouldn’t have won (maybe?) - BUT that’s not the point nor their objective, it could have cost tens of thousands of dollars and potentially set a precedent...but - imagine trying to respond to a legal letter after getting that original threat?
Unfortunately - I see the legal fraternity as driving a lot of this PC crap as a result...”lost money in an investment ?” You deserve to sue” “fallen and injured in the park ? Money awaits - call us...” seen a number plate that caused you to dropped your coffee, wrecking your car? It’s NOT your fault - ring mhsrvy lawyers today....
