“Oh hey, our tracking is so invasive that it is illegal in your part of the world and we are too lazy to do something about it.”
Dodged a bullet there. Thanks EU
Why is it basically only the EU that seems to have an interest in preventing shitty business practices.
Because the US is controlled by corporations
Asia for the most part doesn’t care
Australia is run by right wing nut jobs
New Zealand is quiet so they probably do do something like this but we haven’t heard about it.
Japan is Japan. Civil rights isn’t really a thing.
And China and Russia love invasion of privacy it’s basically the entire basis of their countries.
Well actshually… Australia used to be run by right-wing nutjobs. The current mob in power are centrist nut jobs.
I am generally curious what you mean by centrist nut jobs? The whole point of the centre is to be somewhere in the middle and therefore the best of both worlds that everyone has something in common with as far as I’m concerned
There is no “best of both worlds” when one side wants you to be a fucking slave. Wake up, dummy.
How about just a little bit of servitude…?
…wait
“Best of both worlds” doesn’t literally mean expressing everything on a numeric scale and averaging it out.
No, we know.
What’s the best that should we take from the far right?
It’s an ideological desert over there once you look past the race supremacy, inevitable oligarchy and people dying if they don’t spend enough of their time struggling to survive. It’s literally just psychopathic power grabbing when you really distill it down.
If any of that sounds good to you, I’m not interested in the world you want.
Support for centrism is either complete political ignorance, or looking at that desert and thinking “I think we need some of that shit over here”
I’m really curious (as I’m not living there) what the difference is. Is it just their religious tendencies? Or is it their feelings towards the nebulous “other” that defines them?
In Australia there are two major political parties, Labor and Liberals.
Liberals does not mean what it does in the US, they are the right wing party, who are in a coalition with the Nationals party which is even further right wing.
Labor is now centre-right as they kept running on centre-left policies and losing.
The defining difference between the parties on the domestic front are that Labor supports and Liberals oppose
-
Social safety nets
-
Universal medical care
-
Taxation of corporations
On a foreign policy front they parties are broadly aligned however their stance on how to deal (interact) with China is vastly different, where Labor engages the Liberals attack China endlessly which resulted in a trade war which we’re still feeling the effects of.
This is a very shallow examination of Australia’s political landscape but I’m not a political commentator.
