I'm never using it in a sentence again either. Turns out all the people I've listened to that appeared smarter than me were often wrong. ...


I think that is one of the important things; that people that know a lot about something, also realise that they also don't know it all.

The annoying thing in life is when idiots that claim that they know a lot succeed because people believe them. I have been left behind a few times in jobs where the idiot beside me claims he knows it all and managers then believe it. Which I can sort of understand as well.

Anyhow, what has PM33 got to about this? Has he any real-life experiences in this area or at least a meme?

What's the chance the ideology the Bondi attacker followed wasn't Buddhist?

It would not surprise me if he followed some far right racist ideology just like yourself.
But from the lastest News it appear that Joel Cauchi (the perpetrator) suffer from mental health issues and this act of violence was not a terrorist act

Probably anti vaxxer, or maybe just suffering a lack of wind, but we'll never know his reasons since he got shot dead.
I wonder what proportion of police shootings are actually fatal. It seems more often than not that the person on the receiving end of the pistol shot ends up in hospital, not the morgue.

Racists across Australia are disappointed. A whiter surfer and knife fanatic committed the heinous stabbings.

As I have pointed out elsewhere, misinformation from social media spreads fast and makes its way into mainstream media.

Pcdefender and his tinfoil hat team will soon be saying it was a name-change cover-up.

Surely if channel 7 writes a social media post saying it's 'confirmed' the attacker is a Benjamin Cohen that's their own fault?

My understanding is that Channel 7 picked the fake name out of a widely spread and supported Twitter/X post with bothering to fact check. Probably in response to the usual claim that every mass murder is perpetrated by a Muslim. Given what Israel is doing to Gaza right now, the returned IDF killer story got a strong foot-hold and overwhelmed the usual racist trope. Channel 7 needs to do better, a likely lawsuit would make that obvious.

The sad irony is that the only person who died protecting the Bondi Junction community, was a Muslim.

So would you describe the military Junta as real Buddhist?
If a real Buddhist wants to protest, they dowse themselves in petrol and light a match.

This article shows how quickly misinformation spreads, resulting in tragic consequences, and how easily the origin can be traced. Laurie should protect himself by keeping an eye on the drivel posted by Conspiracy Liars.

The article is paints a pretty disturbing picture of how a Putin sympathiser can derail social media and shows yet again Channel 7 News is an entertainment operation, not a fact source, despite their deluded advertising suggesting otherwise. To quote Mr Cohen, "It's extremely disappointing to see thousands of people mindlessly propagating misinformation without even the slightest thought put to fact-checking or real-life consequences. ...And then using that information to push an agenda and spread hatred." From the ABC article. "...the falsehoods - later amplified by 7 News, which has since blamed "human error" for its role in spreading misinformation..." It seems the Channel 7 executives' desire to sell advertising space at all costs is the 'human error' here.

16 year old idiot. The crowd attacking police was actually a lynch mob, presumably people with a loose attachment to the Assyrian Orthodox Church, who wanted to get at the perpetrator

You forgot the part about the kid being indoctrinated to believe that anyone mocking Allah should be punished/killed.
Where did he learn this?

And the mob injuring emergency services is shameful as well.

I don't know however there's been plenty of examples around the world of terrorist attackers wrecking havoc in the name of Islam. Unfortunately if you criticise Islam you are much more likely to get attacked. Look what happened to Salmon Rushdie.

Can't say Australians are particulary worried about a Jain or Buddhist terrorist attack.

Here is a l brief run down of groups and incidents you most likely consider Freedom fighters

I would also consider ISIL, ISIS, Daesh or what ever name you choose to call them and every Islamic terrorist Far Right Racists.
