People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.
RULES:
- Mark NSFW content.
- No doxxing people.
- Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
- No international politcs
- Be excellent to each other.
- Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
- If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

On a global scale Australia has very little impact in terms of climate so if anyone was paying reparations the majority wouldn’t be from Australia would it?
It’s obvious why Tuvalu ceded independence of certain rights and that’s because they’re on the pathway to no longer existing and they want stability and security from a prosperous and trustworthy country.
Of course the deal is in Australia’s interest.
If you think nations act without their interests in mind you are extremely naive. This is just realpolitik.
