In Australia.
“Got a spare smoke there, bro?”
“No, mate. Sorry.”
“FUCK YOU, YA WHITE CUNT!”
I’ve had this word-for-word interaction probably 100 times this year already.

Why is this so far down?
Bump.
Endlessly eat, shit, fuck, fight, and consume for 5,000 years without any regard for anything but ourselves.
Religion.
You’re all like Star Wars fans to me.
Yeah I truly hope petitions work but everything I’ve ever signed hasn’t done shit. I think petitions are just a way of letting us think we have a voice.
Let’s just call this what it is, and what it will always be until the end of time. Two religions forced to live in a shoebox together.
Religion is to blame, both sides having their fairytale that is incompatible with the other side’s fairytale.
I’m done arguing, fighting, defending or taking sides in any of it. Every ten years we rinse and repeat this bullshit and it’s over nothing more than the fictional stories of two man made books.
And have no illusions, NO MATTER THE OUTCOME here we will be arguing about this same shit again in ten more years.
You sound like someone who would yell out “inappropriate”.
I was recently invited to be a co-organiser of a stand-up comedy festival. I’d never done one before so I was given the rundown before we got to work.
The first thing they told me is that over the past ten(ish) years, comedy festival audiences had completely changed from people coming out to laugh, to people coming out to find ways to be offended, like people who once rode roller coasters for the fear and thrill, now riding them to see how much they could sue for being intentionally frightened.
And it’s true. I saw it actually happening. Every night of comedy two or three people would yell out “inappropriate” or “intolerant” instead of just laughing at what were essentially jokes told in a place centred around joking.
People are dogshit now. We’ve lost our fucking way. We’ve actually gone to war with humour and laughter.
I was referring to the Bronze Age, urbanisation, and civilisation, genius.
