It's only a matter of time till he reads these lies about them. FD must be kranky at me. What have I done, FD? So it's not a lie to accuse this crowd of racism, because they were practicing taqiyya by putting a tinted person up as their spokesperson? Gee, that's a long-winded assertion, FD, but do you know? I tend to agree with it. I think the Sri Lankan priest spoke well. I thought he had a good argument. And who better to make Reclaim Australia's argument than the tinted races themselves? It's hardly taqiyya, just good strategy. But one look at those placards shows us all too well. That Sri Lankan's only there to do the knuckleheads' bidding. When they're finished with the Muselman, he'll be next. And after him, moi. You should be okay. It might help to delete those 2007 posts though - just to be on the safe side. I thought you liked demos Karnal Knowledge. You didn't have much to say when they radicals bunged their one on. I hate demos, and I've been to a few. The sheer groupthink gets to me. I can't stand the thought of walking down the street chanting, "hey hey, ho ho, ... has got to go". It reminds me of pretending to sing along in church. There's something inherently violent about demos. I liked John Lennon's form of protest: bed-ins. Get stoned on heroin and invite your friends to hang out in your bedroom. Or Ghandi: fast. Millions of people were prepared to change their ways when Ghandi to stop Ghandi dying of starvation. I doubt it makes much of a difference unless you're John Lennon or Ghandi though. Setting yourself on fire with petrol like that Buddhist monk in Saigon at the beginning of the Vietnam War had some impact. It hasn't worked for the Tibetans, but yes. That footage really rammed the point home. The Vietnam war was a time when images of war atrocities and horrors really changed people's minds. These days, people just accept it. We've become desensitized to the media. Mind you, those images of Abu Graib changed opinion on Iraq around a fair bit. A good image circulated social media can be far more effective than a big crowd at a rally. Protest rallies are more about mobilizing popular action than changing anyone's mind. The thing is, people get all fired up at a rally, then go home and forget about it. Propaganda is far more effective if you want to change the general public.
