Australia is a lucky country run mainly by second rate people who share its luck. It lives on other people's ideas, and, although its ordinary people are adaptable, most of its leaders (in all fields) so lack curiosity about the events that surround them that they are often taken by surprise.

Comment of the day on Reddit:
Lived in TX over 20 years before moving, can confirm as a Latina that my people are fucking stupid and it all stems from religion, male centered family structures and racism against black folks and Asians. BLM radicalized a lot of chud Hispanic men and trans people was a bridge too far for them, most of them also assume that if they help crack down on other minorities that they'll be overlooked and be allowed some proximity to whiteness.

A double tap is the practice of following a strike (be it bombardment such as missile strike) with a deliberately timed second strike in the same place several minutes later. A triple tap refers to an additional third strike which follows the second strike. The term is usually associated with instances where emergency responders and medical personnel rushing to the site hit by the first strike are hit by the second strike.

If other people asserting their humanity is an affront to your sense of self or your civilization then neither of these are stable enough to stand on their own nor should they stand. 🤷🏾♀️
