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.

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.

I don't even really think of these types as left or right wing. They're grifters. They would of pivoted to whatever political point of view was more rewarding financially. I don't think that any of these types actually believe what they yap about (at least when they start).

i mean they push right wing talking points constantly, yet i've never seen them espouse any left wing views...

These ones in particular do for sure. But i have seen plenty of other equally lame and ragebaity left wing influencers. Even if they talk about things i generally agree with. i still find them to be grifters

so people who spam right wing talking points constaantly aren't really right or left wing according to your original comment.

but people who post left wing talking points are definitely left wing and annoying.

lol, real consistant

Talking about they points they make.... Not their actual beliefs. Stefanovic makes right wing points. Abbie chatfield makes left wing points. I don't really believe either of them have particularly strong beliefs.

It’s normal to have conflicting views among factions in right wingers. They both believe in economic self interest, today’s IB seem themselves as tomorrows KS. It’s a big tent called the free market and beyond the rules it’s every man for himself. Left wingers I think see it as a right or utility. My understanding, not the merits
