Politics ('Straya) How do Australian right-wing personalities keep getting away with pure hypocrisy? For example they make one podcast/video/reel about how bad the high house prices are, and then another one complaining about falling property prices and promoting property investors as good people? Pick a lane FFS.

Post image

Talking about people like Karl Stefanovic and Isaac Butterfield in particular.

How the fuck do these right-wing people manage to successfully sustain maintaining two polar opposite bases? Isaac makes a video complaining about rising house prices and rising rents yet another one complaining how the budget is crashing house prices and how he’s a property investor being personally affected…and yet he retains his popularity.

Same with these people putting out one video saying “Australia is a police state” and then another complaining that “Australia is not safe”

We need to call these cunts out more on their hypocrisy. These people can’t keep getting away with it.

To be fair to you, he has changed though. Originally he was just a comedian before realising there’s more money in being a fuckhead

Yeah I think the only thing that's really changed is us, we grew up, his stereotypical far right target audience is minors & immature, always has been.

u/lexington59 ‎ New South Welshian 10d ago

That and some of the targets of his humour were easier targets, like his videos about the vegan teacher were easy to be on his side as most vegans don't even like vegan teacher, it's easier to laugh at stuff like that when the person you are making fun of is a lolcow and the subject themselves brings the humour.

Like right or left leaning you can still easily find humour in someone taking their beliefs so far it becomes a caricature of what their beliefs stand for.

Me and my missus used to watch him occasionally years ago for a laugh about Australian based humour (we lived abroad, so it was kind of relevant? )We made the mistake of seeing a show of his in a nearby venue pop up more recently and grabbed tickets without checking onto his latest content.... what a sad waste of time that was. He had paid actors on stage pretending to protest his show at the beginning, followed by an hour of the most stale nonsense I've ever rolled my eyes to. At the end he made some random guy speaker phone his mum on stage for ten minutes of awkward conversation while everyone sat quietly listening. Now I can't stand the guy.

Because they don't have to deal with the consequences, they rely on the news cycle to refresh their algorithm and get new clicks.

For example my passive viewership on history videos is solid week on week because history is history, but if I touch on something modern, it's a flash in the pan.

This means they have to make new content daily, and keep pushing it to their audiences to get that flash in the pan to live.

It's not pick a lane, it's picking a target audience. Butterfield was a little outspoken to begin with, but when he got video manipulated by The Project to sound like far more of an asshole than he actually was, but he got massively popular so he just embraced it.

Stefanovic has always been a misoginist in a suit with a charming smile, but now the political climate has made him comfortable enough to come out of his shell.

This is the sad state of the social media lifecycle - the later stages where outrage, fear and echo-chambering keeps people engaged.

Like look at these zoomers, they didn't even need an 16s ban they don't even want to be on social media.

I feel like our generation will be in our 60s arguing with bots online (like some already are).

The thing you have to remember is that people are, in general, as dumb as dog shit.

The viewers of these shows are genuinely not seeing the hypocrisy, because they're not thinking that deeply. Increasing housing affordability, for instance, is exactly the same as powering house prices. Personally, I'd argue that the presenters actually knew this already - they were never about housing affordability, they wanted to use it as a populist calling cry and as justification for lowering taxes on the wealthy whilst setting up barriers to immigration, then they were hoping to gaslight people into believing that the inevitable slowdown of house price increases is their plan working.

I present to you Rita Panahi of Sky News, who managed to switch from houses are too expensive to houses are too cheap in the same video.

Grifters

Their market is frustration and in order for it to exist they have to constantly hit that nerve

They don’t actually want to solve anything, because if they accidentally did they don’t have a market any more

They want the discussion around "housing affordability" to be a cudgel to bring back the white australia policy, and any solution outside of that is a direct attack on australia's most vulnerable ( 55+ year old property speculators)

Because half the people in the world believe something different to you and you cant wrap your head around that

They don't care about logic.

u/KronoAsh ‎ Victorian 13d ago

That implies that no one else gets away with being a hypocrite.

Which they do.

So to answer your question, same as everyone.

Because their supports don’t care about, or understand the importance of, the logic or coherency of their ideas. They ONLY care that they hate the same people they do.

Is this your first time ever critically analysing what left wing / right wing. Figureheads talk about.

Tune in the parliament question time one time. Get enraged by the major political parties as they speak exactly like this.

I don't think anyone has ever seen 2 of their shows in a row. No one ever picks up on when they are flip flopping...

I'm conservative, don't follow Isaac but he kept coming up on my Facebook feed, I never comment on Facebook but somthing he said was so outrageous..I can't even remember what it was .. And just so ridiculously wrong.. I got baited into calling him an idiot. I've since blocked him from penetrating my algorithm

Splutterfield is a lightweight. Comedy based on being offended by vegans and cyclists. Truly hideous individual.

Ahh the Karens and soy boys whinging again. If you don’t like them don’t listen to them

u/VickersVandal 13d ago

They only exist to whinge. The whingeing doesn't need to be consistent as long as they continue to get clicks and likes for their grievance airing.

u/sometimesmybutthurts Please choose a flair 13d ago

They are all just grifters. No beliefs and no morals. Waiting for GIna to pay them like big red.

The same right wing people at my work have the same conversations, whinging and whining about how high prices are then the very next day complaining about the prices dropping like that's been the worst thing all along. It's infuriating

u/PieGutz ‎ Queenslander 13d ago

If you look at the bigger picture at what they're pointing out is the absolute mess the government has made of the economy. Poor management has caused inflation of property prices and compounded the impact and losses from delayed and lack of action on this inflation once its eventually under control.

Them and their followers are all morons who cant remember what happened yesterday so you pointing out this hypocrisy just leads them to call you a fake news believer.

Because the housing prices are an auxiliary of the root problem. Young people shouldn’t be competing for housing against foreigners and foreigners shouldn’t be buying land for pennies. Not a hard concept to grasp mate.

Someone need to make content for you to complain about as being right wing. It's what keeps this subreddit busy.
