    This was a depressing read, but it raises some interesting questions. How much of this supposed lurch towards hate is media distortion.

    If the Invasion Day celebration in Sydney was massive compared to the M4A one, are the people really what’s changed or is the media trying to manipulate us into thinking this is the new norm despite what our eyes can see?

    I blame America, we always copy what they do.
