Both are lands trying to kill you.
I can deal with the cold. Australia's wild life on the other hand.

Though from what I understand your common house cat is decimating the wildlife there.

Nature's most efficient killers that we call Muffin and treat like furry babies...
Think of it less like a fur baby and more like an alien killing machine. I mean, there's hardly any placental mammals native to Australia (Dingos were introduced by humans, specifically the Aboriginals). I imagine that if humans ever enter an alien ecosystem there's good odds we'd accidentally devastate the ecosystem through feral pets or livestock.
Ahh yes. Finally meet our first intelligent life form and it's quickly decimated by Fluffy because the aliens have glowing red dots all over them.
I got nothing to say here.

''God, not another one! Have you read a history book lately, son? The Australian-American War was the biggest war since the big one! I tell you, I didn't do two tours and take boomerang shrapnel in my head, so I can come back here, and have a bunch of hippies deny history. Those Aussies are ruthless. They even wired kangaroos with explosives, come hopping into camp, knocked out ten guys.''

In all seriousness though, far be it for me to kick off ''DragonballFan on Police Reform Movements Part Deux'', but the reason she gives for an invasion is that Australia is ''a tyrannical police state''. This ignores the fact that the US police are one of the most militarised police forces on the planet. There are literally whole armies out there that cannot match the US police for weapons and hardware. And yet its other countries who are a police state? Herm...

''You keep on using that word but I do not think it means what you think it means.''
A common observation is that "the 2 camps", the blue team and the red team that is, are tribal conformists who pick their respective views without much consistency or self-awareness - such as the blues going with the alarmist stance on Covid and the reds with the "relaaaax bro" stance, both having their own versions of big gov / small gov policies, and both having self-contradictory views on the power (or moral character) of the police and military.

The reds, being a messy amalgam of both the Revolutionary ideals as well as the conservative/fascist authority worship that those rebelled against, often like government/police abuse on one day and powerful armed citizens standing up to them on the other day;
of course police/state on their side, cracking down on minorities and liberals are good, while police/state working for the other side going against them (such as fighting off their Capitol storm) is bad.

And the blues go from hating the police for being racist and rightwing, to wanting to rely on them for protection while reducing citizens' gun rights (unlike parts of the marxist left btw) and cheering them on if they fend off rightwingers.

And what would the most ardent "use police to enforce covid measures" supporters say if similar measures were started to be taken against STDs, I wonder?


Needless to say, none of this means that it's somehow impossible to hold coherent views that mix alarmist/anti-alarmist views on different issues, alternately support and condemn dlfferent cops / police units who behave in contrasting ways, or various forms/uses of big government power;

however it looks like large amounts of people hold incoherent, self-contradictory versions of those "mixed stances", based on party line conformity and without any self-awareness. And based on what (so far rather little) of what I've seen of Candace Owens, this might be an example of the latter.

(Don't have an opinion on Australia's covid measures, since I've been failing to follow that stuff as of now.)
