2000 years of failure to build a world on religion, but we should abandon trying to build one on liberal ideals after less than a generation or two? Madness.
Luxury Beliefs are on show here. Advocating for policies that will impact others but not you is the problem here. The elite want to show their moral virtue but be insulated from the adverse impacts of their policies. For example net zero. Forcing society to cut emissions does not impact the incone of the elite but does send to zero the income of the lower class coal miner. If the elite want zero carbon emissions, let them pay the costs involved.
I'm a first time listener and I'm only 12 minutes in, and I already feel this way. And I understand the term. I am sick of so called elites trying to destroy Our lives. I'm physically sick in my stomach. I think I'll go and find something else.
Josh please get someone to help make your thumbnails. Your current thumbnails are way too busy and not clickable. The podcast title is unnecessary, Plus repeating the title on the thumbnail is a waste of space. It doesn’t need to be said twice. Take a look at some of the biggest podcast channel and compare your thumbnails and you’ll see where you’re going wrong. Hope that helps. I found some of your interviews very insightful but I think they deserve more views.
I know the initial point made by Stan flys straight over people's heads, especially those that grew up in cultural and ethnic homogeneity.Or for that matter ideological temples of leftist as a civil rights champion but the point is that when you grow up in a wildly diverse community you speak plainly, honestly and use language of affection (rude, derogatory language in a playful way to remove the venom). The idea of equality means people want to be treated fairly, ie like everyone else means they don't want people to tip toe around them like they are fragile and unable to cope with every day communication. The bigotry of low expectations is more demeaning to minorities, according to my friends of an array of different backgrounds.
I disagree that 2 men, one white and one First Nations Australian can determine whether or not the word “wog” is offensive to the people it is used to describe. Love you guys but just - no. I don’t dispute that some people mean the word fondly or mean no harm by it, but you could say the same for many other slurs too. If person A and person B are friends and person B is happy for person A to call them a “wog” within their own friendship that is altogether different from using that description to a stranger. I’m also aware that this word has a much harsher and less acceptable history in the US compared to Australia, so this may confuse some listeners.
My husband is British and doesn't act like a baby if he's called a pommy. He recognises that they've been called that for nearly two centuries. As I see it when you come to a country you should accept the country as it is, not change it.
@@grannyannie2948 there’s a couple of differences though in being British born or descended in Australia (1) the dominant mainstream Australian culture, political & legal system is based on the British and being called a Pommyx doesn’t generally result in any social, economic or financial disadvantage. Also I would add that there is the irony that the British DID come to this country and change it.

But we built a world under both religion and liberal principles or has the last couple of thousand years been all failure?
@@alexanderfox-robinson4910 I don't think so, but Stan clearly does
great discussion.
Stan Grant, my favourite Abo. (descriptor)
Stan sounding a lot like Jacinta here re valorising identity, bravo brother 🎉. Thankyou both...

Stan's generalisations are so sad. His stereotypes about the 'country' and the 'west' are depressing.

The guests opening argument is horrible.
