Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.

If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also xcancle.org (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.

Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.

Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.

Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.

Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

I think everyone's interest is best served when she is somewhere else.

The "somewhere else" I had in mind: barbara-pit

Can't be one in Australia though she can't reapply for a visa

In making the decision in October last year, Mr Burke said, "Australia's national interest is best served when Candace Owens is somewhere else".

"From downplaying the impact of the Holocaust with comments about [Nazi physician Josef] Mengele through to claims that Muslims started slavery, Candace Owens has the capacity to incite discord in almost every direction,"

Mr Burke said.

Rare australian W

Provided that they hand out the same determination for other right wing grifters, this is good.

If they just did it because she's black? Well....

They've apparently done it to "Israeli" politicians, so this might just be one of the extremely rare aus-delenda-est Ws.

Seemingly it’s a “This person’s presence will probably cause big protests and be a lot of trouble”

[–] footfaults@lemmygrad.ml 13 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Maybe they don't think Israelis are white? We can't really trust a country whose toilets flush counter clockwise

[–] Aradino@hexbear.net 10 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Toilets in Australia don't use gravity to flush, they use water pressure, so it doesn't drain in a vortex like that

I'm sure if Australians could read they'd be very mad and I'd have to say I'm sorry but I'd do it in a very sarcastic Mid-Atlantic accent where they wouldn't be able to tell because my accent is so thick.

Go birds

This is way funnier than it should be for some reason

Damn you know you suck as an American when even a US asskisser like Australia isn't having any

Only because she's anti-Israel and Black

If she was still predominantly known for her white supremacist "reverse-racism" grift and spending most of her time trashing minorities, they'd let her in

She got too Alex Jones and American-coded for international conservatives

They've used the same reason for Israeli politicians. Ones part of the governing coalition
