Pauline Hanson’s most recent “which group can I attack now” comment has been directed at children with autism and disabilities, saying that they should be separated from mainstream classes so as to not hurt the other childrens’ education.

In classic One Nation fashion, Hanson has continued her crusade to ensure anyone who is remotely different doesn’t mingle with people like her. This crusade has been aided by how few people could stand to mingle with her.

“Now I’m not going to say we should segregate them… but we should definitely segregate them,” she said, spewing words from her foul mouth. “Are people with disabilities a burden? Well I’m no expert… but that’s never stopped me from implying something before!”

She then got out her check list of people to discriminate against. She ticked off “the disabled” – which was situated a few checkboxes below “Muslims”, “Gays and whatever the other letters stand for”, “Asians”, “Indigenous Australians” and then also “Muslims” written again as a reminder in case she ever relaxed her rampant islamophobia for even a second. 

“Note to self: Do Muslims catch autism? How can I use this for a fear campaign?” she wrote down under her other notes “where does the sun go at night?” and “is listening to the radio halal?”

She is now taking suggestions for further marginalised groups to attack and discriminate against as she is steadily running out.

although i have blocked people for that awful star trek theory that goes like, ‘the federation’s prime directive/non interference policy actually destroys cultures’ as if like, letting a culture fuck themselves up and fucking colonising them are equally bad

how do you take the middle path in an argument about colonialism. ‘sure invading a culture is bad, but imagine the awful things that could happen if we leave this native culture to its own devices?’ like how about we as white people avoid the fuck out of that narrative please and thank you

Reminder that people in this mess have over and over attempted to erase ace and aro PoC from our communities, declaring all or almost all aces/aros white and privileged in every way, because that would be more convenient for their ‘arguments’ about how we’re all horrible and have oppression fantasies born from a lack of Real Problems in our lives.

Reminder that ppl have loved telling aces/aros of color upset about this and other racist shit to be quiet, and called us ‘tokens’ and generally been nasty to us to shut us up, or just randomly assumed we’re white even when it was perfectly clear and easy to find we’re not. Bc we’re ace/aro and won’t let them shit on us

Reminder that white ppl who loathe aces and aros will frequently try to exploit the pain of PoC by acting as though racism is an ace/aro thing, and as though white aces/aros (or even ace+aro PoC) are more racist and have more white privilege than them and ppl they like.

Reminder ppl in this mess who hate aces and aros continue to give zero shits about how sexualizing aces/aros hurts ace and aro PoC and adds to racism we experience

Can we go a day with no wypipo bullshit? 🙄🙄

No, please don’t call these people “fans.” They’re not fans, they’re racists who want to start shit. Real Star Trek fans have no issues with diversity. This is the SAME show that gave Nichelle Nichols the role of Uhura in an unprecedented show of social progress. This is the same show that featured one of the best, strongest female characters and captains of all time (Janeway), etc. Don’t call these ugly racists “fans,” because fans of Star Trek appreciate it almost ENTIRELY for its progressive imagining of a society with equality for all people, with a sense of community, with scientific progress, with a complete absence of capitalism, racism, and sexism. 

Call a spade a spade: these are ugly white racists who don’t know shit about Star Trek.

Like, I don’t wanna hear a SINGLE PEEP from these racist, nationalist douchebags about my perfect Socialist-Utopian-Future-Humanity-With-Equality-For-All show.

They can SIT THE FUCK DOWN! Y’all ugly racists ruined this nation, but y’all ain’t fucking ruining Star Trek too!

Deep Space Nine starred a black man, a black child, a brown man, a bunch of aliens, and exactly one white man.

Voyager starred two white women, a native man, an Asian man, a half-Latina woman, some aliens, a hologram, and exactly one white man.

This was over 20 years ago. What franchise have they been watching?

Exactly!

I.D.I.C. , Mother Fuckers

Someone needs to make an “IDIC Motherfuckers!!” pin or badge or something!

if u cant draw brown people without being racist ur banned from art

and chances are ur art was shit from the get go

This is honestly the most annoying thing ever. If you can only draw white people, you’re not a good artist. Period.
If you’re gonna make a career or a following out of making fan art, you better fkn know/learn how to draw and color poc correctly.
“It’s just my style” isn’t an excuse.
“It’s just the lighting” is not a viable excuse. No source of natural lighting is going to make a dark skinned character pale.
Just stop making art if you’re going to be racist and unwilling to be a good person in general.

The cishet distraction

Cisgender LGB people: I see a lot of you speaking about ‘the cishets’ with some kind of bitter taste behind it but never acknowledging your own cisgender privilege and how much transphobia there is in the LGBT community and I want you to know that you’re not fooling anyone. 

Ewwww… cis people using the term cishet like that is awful, why would they do that? It’s a term for people who are both queer and trans to talk about our oppression, not for cis queers to distance themselves from their transphobia and transmisogyny.

Yeah, the reasons:

– 

to distance themselves from their transphobia and transmisogyny. 

– to replace the way they have talked about ‘the straights’ as a coherent group when they didn’t want to consider that other people might face any kind of oppression

Pretending that ‘lgbt’ and ‘cishet; are coherent blocks that have all experiences in common is a convenient way to ignore their own transphobia, transmisogyny and cisgender privilege all while providing a tool to exclude people. 

Vocal acephobes do this the most, accusing asexual and aromantic people of being ‘cishet’, resisting any kind of solidarity with other issue groups because it would bring the lgbt community in contact with ‘the cishets’. 

It’s gross and it is so obviously holding lgbt/queer movements back, keeping them trapped in debates about who is ‘cishet’ when they so desperately need to be building a strong wide resistance to the rise of neofascism. 

I wanted to add:

if you create a strong enough ‘us vs. the evil irredeemable cishets’ mentality

this can be used to avoid all accountability ever. 

Don’t like being confronted with your racism? Target all your racism at a cishet POC who did something homophobic once. If a POC from the lgbt community calls you out on it you can call them ‘divisive’, you can accuse them of collaborating with the evil ‘cishets’, you can ask them why they hate gay people, etc. etc. 

If enough white lgbt people with a similar mindset support you, you can create a culture where racism is okay as long as the target it not lgbt, and this will drive away persky lgbt POC who might talk about white privilege and other uncomfortable topics or who might at some point catch you just being plain old racist to everyone. 

Don’t wanna be confronted with your ableism? ditto.

Bill Shorten has been criticised for a Labor ad about hiring Australian’s first that features almost entirely white people.

“Oh… yeah. Fair point yeah. My bad.” Shorten said in response to criticism scratching his head. “How did we not see that one earlier?”

He looked back at the ad. “Man… this really is harder than I anticipated. You put only one Asian woman in an ad and suddenly people are like “whoa, that’s not enough. What are you trying to say?” If only politicians were so scrutinised over what we said or did or spent tons of money producing to broadcast on TV…”

Liberal MP Craig Laundy was about to accuse Shorten of xenophobia before a flock of birds flew right into his mouth and stopped him from speaking as if the universe itself was not about to let the Liberal party have the moral high ground. They simply just don’t deserve that.

It was suggested that the ad was designed to target One Nation voters according to another Liberal MP, 

Arthur Sinodinos.

“That’s mistake number one,” he said. “For starters: that’s our tactic and we do it way better than Labor.”

A One Nation candidate Mark Ellis resigns after allegations of kidnapping resurfaced online.

“The allegations of kidnapping were found to be invalid by a court! They came with me voluntarily! Sure, there was mentions of cutting fingers and we took their shoes, but they agreed to come with us in the end so it technically not kidnapping!” he said in reference to that time he, as a police officer, left 3 indigenous children stranded 12km out of town in 1994, which was only 23 years ago and so when he says “a 30 year old incident” we can only assume he’s getting confused about which of his multiple alleged kidnapping incidents he is meant to be defending himself against.

“Could be worse though,” he continued. “People could be focusing on how I mowed a swastika into my backyard and saluted it, then posted it on Facebook. I’m glad that one’s getting far less media attention.”

“But to be fair there’s just so much to choose from. The kidnapping incident, the nazi stuff, or the death threat I sent to a former employee. How can the media choose one aspect of me to focus on when I am such a complex and diverse piece of shit?”

It has become a long standing tradition for One Nation candidates to have their horrible pasts brought up to be used against them to prove their worth as controversial and despicable human beings.

Pauline Hanson has defended this selection process stating: “our voter base only wants the toughest of scum to represent them. Each candidate must prove they’re both a terrible enough person to receive massive amounts of scorn online and to be tough enough to not let it get to them. Mr Ellis unfortunately complained about the “pathetic haters” and realised the job was too hard on him and has resigned. But don’t you worry, we will continue to find the very worst of society to represent our party in the future.”
