Just got home. Someone left a Spanish-language flier on my door inviting me to an immigrants' meeting at the state capitol. The agenda is an extension of the DREAM Act and limiting ICE's enforcement powers at the state level. Should I go?

If you've got your sock drawer sorted out I see no reason to stay home.

I was considering going to the #sackscomo rally last weekend, & whilst I'm always for dethroning a Liberal leader, I just couldn't bring myself to do it as I feel that protesting is so lame. Went to an Aboriginal rights rally a few years ago, I'm a big believer in the cause, but standing around out on the street with a bunch of alarmist goombas drenched with white-guilt shouting "Shame, shame" at Parliament offices just felt so fucking pointless.

A Melbournite stopping and thinking before running off to protest something they have a shallow understanding of? Maybe there's hope for you yet.

Protesters from all walks of life are rabid butt monkeys. Protesting these days seems to be more about who can do the stupidest thing rather than standing up for a cause.
I did see that sackscomo protest on the news the other day. People were wearing "Fuck Scomo" t-shirts. I thought that was a bit harsh. Sacking him is fair enough but fucking him as well seems very over the top given the packages ex-pollies walk away with. Although I am of the belief that sacking Scomo is kind of pointless because they will just put another self serving fucknut in his place.

Exactly. And from what I've seen most people are just upset that he was away on holidays when the bushfires were raging. I agree that it was a poor move on his behalf, but what the fuck was he gonna do? Fight the fires himself? Literally the only thing he could do would be to go around & shake a few hands (which is what he did when he returned & people still told him to fuck off).

The Occupy movement sounded like an odorous rapefest to me. I went on some feminist marches 6-7 years ago, in hindsight they were so pointless. Not to say all causes are pointless, but a good chunk of the protests attached to them are.

What gets me about the holidays was how many other people in positions of authority took leave as well, it was like Scomo was the first and the other monkeys just followed. Whether he could have done anything more than offered thoughts and prayers was beside the point for me. What was a bigger issue was that he was the one who instigated the arse kicking for Kristina Nixon during the Black Saturday fires and she only went to dinner for a few hours, he fucked off out of the country when it was his turn.
Obviously he'd be fucking useless on the fire front, he wouldn't burn for long enough, but it was funny to see so many Labor/Greens supporters bitching he wasn't there, then when he came back they bitched he was there. It's nearly as funny as all the Labor supporters struggling with the fact that Abbott keeps getting press coverage for fighting the fires, they want to hate the guy but saying bad things makes them look bad for picking on an RFS volunteer.

100% mate. People are always crapping on about him being out of the country during the worst ecological disaster in the entire history of the country, yet they'll still use it just to further their contrarian agenda. The lack of nuance/self-awareness is fucking staggering.

B.O. can be dealt with if the personality is redeemable. But don't let me get in the way of your terrible taste in women.

It happened during Ash Wednesday, then it went stupid during Black Saturday, now with these latest fires it seems like some fuckwits can't help but make it political. The biggest problem these days though is the media that feeds the shit and keeps it going longer than most news consumers attention spans.

He tastes their BO too? Now that is truly disturbing.
