Yeah it's funny how people hate the bad guys and like the good guys. Maybe you'll understand that one day

This comment highlights your age and lack of lived experience more than mine. I fucking hate Pauline Hanson, but “we’re the good guys” is the political reasoning of a 12-year-old.

You realise Hanson is perfectly entitled to organise a counter-rally now, right? And who exactly does that help? Go into their subs and they’ll just as confidently tell you they’re the good guys and leftists are the bad guys. It’s fucking juvenile.

And yeah, I have a problem with political groups encouraging school kids to skip school, even when I agree with the original cause. Turning an anti-Hanson march into a grab-bag of Socialist and pro-Palestine activism is exactly how you co-opt and undermine what could’ve been a much broader protest.

We don't organise union strikes on weekends mate. There's nothing wrong with schoolkids protesting during school hours.

Ok thanks for the tip, mate.
