+x+x+xThis is absolutely not what happened, you're creating your own narrative to justify your own beliefs. There was no issue until Goodes called out a racist and from then on he was public enemy #1 because he dared to stand up for himself. Goodes directly challenged the racists and they didn't like it, thats why HE specifically was targeted. nah I don't quite agree. In his later days Goodes turned into a dirty player to make up for his declining skills. he used to dive and drop his knees on opposing players. And all the hate from this went viral after he called out the 15 year old girl. it started out as criticism against a "shit bloke." but it spiralled out of control after the whole controversy was hijacked by the racists. This. First came people who disapproved of Goodes' style of play, THEN came the racial slurs. How many white people have been booed like this for their style of play?

"The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence" - Charles Bukowski
Keep this quote in mind when you start seeing intense opinions coming from 'the other side'. With social media and forums like this, people have the ability to make their voice heard simply because they feel like it. This has been a good thing in many ways, but it has also lead to each side's most confident and stupid people being the public representation of every major argument. They're the people who define what the sides are in the first place, so they completely shape the conversation.
This isn't true of every person arguing confidently, but for every one person whose confidence comes from evidence and critical thinking, there are ten who are reverse engineering their logic to fit what instinctively feels right to them.

Plenty of players have been critiscised for their style of play. AS FTB pointed out, first people were critical of how Goodes' played, the racial slurs came after. Disliking how a footy player plays the game and disliking a footy player for the colour of his skin are two separate things. In this instance, some people saw the fomer as justification for the latter.
There are only two intellectually honest debate tactics: (a) pointing out errors or omissions in your opponent’s facts, or (b) pointing out errors or omissions in your opponent’s logic. All other debate tactics are intellectually dishonest - John T. Reed

+x+x+x+x+x+x+xTo the clowns that think the media is far right in the country you really need to open your eyes. Guardian, SMH, News.com, ABC, SBS, Nine, Ten and most smaller outlets are either left or far left media outlets. Most copy/paste their articles and sources from NY Times, Washington Post, Huff Post, Buzzfeed, CNN etc which have basically become paid left wing socialist activists. Demand for those of which have been so bad that some of the companies have had to lay off 25% of their workforce in the past month. What i've seen in the comments here from those posters is the exact same dribble i've seen a thousand times on the left wing sites Somebody even mentioned Hillary Clinton is a centrist. Ahahaha!!! She was so far left only Bernie Sanders and AOC could claim to be more left wing bat shit crazy than she was. Of course when you have gone so far left of the political spectrum, you tend think everybody that doesn't think like you is right or far right so automatically must be bad. What we need is more proper journalism and less agenda driven activism in the media. Maybe then people will start trusting news sources again. You would be hard pressed to find one Right inclined reporter / host on the ABC yet it's bursting at the seems with the Left. Interested to know who? I will get the ball rolling and start with the fish rotting at the head - that commie Ita Buttrose...now next: You seem to think Ita Buttrose in the job for all of a whole nano-second disproves the point. It doesn't. No I am just looking for a list of all the lefties that supposedy run the ABC, despite the coalition's own investigations finding no bias. Maybe some know more than others? Well, for starters Kerry O Brien worked for Paul Keating. His successor Maxine McKew ran for labor against Howard. I'm not of the belief the ABC is inherently biased but I dont think theres much debate that, historically at least, journalists employed there lean towards the left. I'd say most serious jounalists around the world lean towards the left, although most try to keep their personal view out of reporting. O'brian tbf was a press officer which a lot of political journalists are at one point or PR, and he hasn't been at the ABC for 5 years I’d say it’s like any other industry - if you can’t cut it in the commercial world, you work for the Public Service/ABC.

White dirty players over the years have become cult figures and heroes and goodes nowhere near as dirty as them. The simple fact is, no white player has been booed like he was.

Reading George Orwell's books taught me many, many things. One of which was keeping the masses occupied with football and beer.
" Far right politics in Australia, how it affects Australian football " is something to write your dissertation on. To try to isolate it to one country and the concept of equality via politics is too big an ask'

+x+xThe genuine left-wingers like Bernie are against that. The corporate centrists like Hillary (who in Australia would be well and truly right-wing) are for it though. yep. totally agree. +xBernie is a communist. Communism is the natural outcome of the Far Left.. Because THIS time, Communism will work... its amazing how many poeple get communism and socialism mixed up. Bernie is not a communist. Communism is not the natural outcome of the Far Left. Its hilarious to suggest that. Democratic Socialism is the natural outcome for a leftie such as myself. And while people will refuse to admit this, Australia is in many ways a Socialist Democracy. Its the same shit wrapped in different paper. Socialism is but a stepping stone to Communism. There's only one difference between capitalism and all the other socialist/communist derivatives. And that's personal incentive. Everything else is detail. Socialism/Communism fail because they deny that incentive. What Australia does is it treads a fine line between giving enough workers incentive for personal betterment, and skim some of their wealth to support the rest who don't give a rats. I don't what you call that, but that's what it is.

It's a direct insult. Just for the record do you believe the Christchurch shootings were either staged with crisis actors or a false flag operation? I'll wait. Eventually when the opponent is challenged or questioned, it means the victim’s investment and thus his intelligence is questioned, no one can accept that. Not even to themselves. That's not an answer. You're on an anonymous internet forum. If you think it was staged or a false flag operation have the balls to say so. Gutless. 😆😂 time for your bedtime blue pill methinks....squirming just a bit..muz the sheeple As predicted. Gutless. As predicted. Another pejorative remark. Will have to incorporate that into your new self title ‘muz the pejorative sheeple’🤣 Not sure why you can't answer a simple question. You intimated you thought the whole thing was a scam. Just have the guts to completely out yourself. What are you actually afraid off? You either have the strength of your convictions and can nail your colours to the cross or you don't. Why would anyone bother to respond to someone who gets their kicks from throwing around insults and making pejorative remarks, least of all on a topic that does not belong in a sporting forum (there are other venues for this) but it just highlights how big the divide is in society, how so many have been duped by the media and how political agendas creep into all areas of society. (Was hesitant to add my two cents to this thread but perhaps I care a little too much about people being blinded from reality) In any case, what I think is not important, it is what YOU believe that matters. There is something about yourself that you don’t know. Something that you will deny even exists, until it’s too late to do anything about it. It’s the only reason you get up in the morning. The only reason you suffer the shitty puss, the blood, the sweat and the tears. This is because you want people to know how good, attractive, generous, funny, wild and clever you really are. Fear or revere me, but please, think l’m special. Ego gratification: your an approval junkie. 1.What a bunch of waffle. It's a simple yes or no. 2.Do you think the Christchurch shooting were a false flag or staged operation? 3.And it is important we know what you think because judgements are made on people's mental state based on what sort of batshit things they believe. 4.If you believe shape-shifting reptillians are the illuminati and are running a world government then the chances are I'm not going to take serious anything that comes out of your head. 5.As for calling me an approval junkie listen to you. Teasing out little dribs as if you're the only one not drinking the kool-aid. Look at me I know better than all you MSM brainwashed sheeple.
1. It is waffle to YOU because you lack the capacity to ‘think’ outside of the ‘prism created for your mind’🤯 2. I will tell you what i don’t think; and that’s the official story. you mean to tell me that you believe every word of the official story...honestly..... 3.

Sounds familiar. https://www.livescience.com/63658-why-people-believe-conspiracy-theories.htmlSchizotypy is the strongest predictor of conspiracy belief. In addition to experiencing the world in unusual ways, we found that people higher in schizotypy have an elevated need to feel unique, which has previously been linked with conspiracism. Why? Probably because believing in non-mainstream ideas allows people to stand out from their peers, but at the same time take refuge in a community of like-minded believers.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4373633/https://cosmosmagazine.com/society/faking-reality-why-people-embrace-conspiracy-theoriesIn a 2016 paper exploring the link between schooling and conspiracy theories, published in the journal Applied Cognitive Psychology, researcher Jan-Willem van Prooijen from the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam in the Netherlands says well-educated people are less likely to believe in them.
He cites three factors: “a belief in simple solutions for complex problems; feelings of powerlessness; and subjective social class”.
Joseph Uscinski, from the University of Miami in the US who, with Joseph Parent, authored the 2014 book American Conspiracy Theories (Oxford University Press), tells Cosmos that their research found that “conspiracy thinking is higher among people with less education and less wealth”.
https://www.inc.com/jessica-stillman/the-best-way-to-fight-back-against-conspiracy-theorists-like-alex-jones.html
That means conspiracy theories will probably always be this us to some extent, but there are also demographic and psychological factors that make it more likely people will believe in them, including:
- Being less educated. This one hardly needs much explaining.
- A desire to feel special. Those who want to stand out from the crowd (aka those with narcissistic tendencies) can adopt extreme beliefs in order to do so.
- Feelings of powerlessness. An explanation for events beyond a person's control -- no matter how ludicrous those explanations sound to others -- can still be psychologically preferable to being the victim of blind chance or happenstance.
- A need for certainty. "Seeking explanations for events is a natural human desire,""explains psychology professor David Ludden. "And we don't just ask questions. We also quickly find answers to those questions--not necessarily the true answers, but rather answers that comfort us or that fit into our worldview."

Probably because believing in non-mainstream ideas allows people to stand out from their peers, but at the same time take refuge in a community of like-minded believers.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4373633/https://cosmosmagazine.com/society/faking-reality-why-people-embrace-conspiracy-theoriesIn a 2016 paper exploring the link between schooling and conspiracy theories, published in the journal Applied Cognitive Psychology, researcher Jan-Willem van Prooijen from the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam in the Netherlands says well-educated people are less likely to believe in them.
He cites three factors: “a belief in simple solutions for complex problems; feelings of powerlessness; and subjective social class”.
Joseph Uscinski, from the University of Miami in the US who, with Joseph Parent, authored the 2014 book American Conspiracy Theories (Oxford University Press), tells Cosmos that their research found that “conspiracy thinking is higher among people with less education and less wealth”.

That means conspiracy theories will probably always be this us to some extent, but there are also demographic and psychological factors that make it more likely people will believe in them, including:
- Being less educated. This one hardly needs much explaining.
- A desire to feel special. Those who want to stand out from the crowd (aka those with narcissistic tendencies) can adopt extreme beliefs in order to do so.
- Feelings of powerlessness. An explanation for events beyond a person's control -- no matter how ludicrous those explanations sound to others -- can still be psychologically preferable to being the victim of blind chance or happenstance.
- A need for certainty. "Seeking explanations for events is a natural human desire,""explains psychology professor David Ludden. "And we don't just ask questions. We also quickly find answers to those questions--not necessarily the true answers, but rather answers that comfort us or that fit into our worldview."
Wow, you went to a lot of trouble to copy & paste all that..I guess I AM SPECIAL & UNIQUE🙂😊😁😀🤣😆😂
If you don’t understand something...you simply label it as waffle😆
Again this applies: eventually when the opponent is challenged or questioned, it means the victims investment and thus his intelligence is questioned, no one can accept that. Not even to themselves.
keep digging that hole😁

+xits hilarious seeing athletes whinge about online trolls... get some to manage your insta or something... try being Raheem Sterling for a day... Imagine being in a stadium of 80k+ and being booed by the entire stadium every time you touch the ball... being spat at and called a black - oops, I just ate my own poop... every time he gets near a corner... fuck we got some whinging babies here.... how did Sterling deal with this? he fucking dominated and is now the best winger in the EPL..... He's a man that's how he gets through it. People can say whatever they want but he's the one on the field doing damage, making millions, and can pretty much have anything he wants in life. He's definitely not the modern type of men we see around today who have become mentally so weak, insecure, and soft. Full credit to Sterling and I'm not even a Man City or England fan.

Nobody could not only believe this was staged but then believe a group of people so inept and pathetic as politicians could organise something on such a grand scale.

It scares and annoys me. People litterally have died and people are like they're crisis actors and blah blah blah tell that to their families . Same goes for the Florida shootings and the others .

So you're saying men have to the stereotypical macho man of the past? Let me guess you want your women to be obedient to your every word? Clearly still living In the 50s

If we ‘loons’ are now so ‘commonplace’ then what does that suggest...... ......and here i was thinking I am ‘special and unique’😔 seeking shelter in the comfort of your fellow 🐑🐑🐑 and labelling others derogatory terms for having an alternative viewpoint, you lack the brains to comprehend, is a final act of desperation and sign of insecurity & ignorance🤭

Clearly still living In the 50s No you guessed wrong but nice try. I'm talking about a man being man enough to not let dickheads comments get to him, and you compare that with a man who gives his wife zero say. Honestly that's one sad comment.

And you're attacking my thoughts, WTF seriously.
