A place for Australians and friends to share news from the other countries. Like all communities here, we discuss topics from the Australian perspective.
If you're looking for a global /c/worldnews instead, search for the many options on federated instances.
Rules
- Follow the aussie.zone rules
- We are not a generic World News clone. News must be relevant to Australians and our region. Obvious disregard will earn an warning and then a ban if continued. (If an article isn't from an Oceanian news outlet, and it doesn’t mention Australia, then it’s probably off-topic)
- Leave seppocentrism at the door. If you don't know what that means, you're not ready to post here yet.
- Avoid editorialising headlines. Opinions go in the comments, not the post.

If Nazis take power in my country and I have to opportunity to leave, I'm taking my wife and (currently unborn) child and getting the fuck out. Is it selfish? Perhaps, but my responsibility is first and foremost to my family. I don't want to raise a child under fascism. Likewise if there is a war. I'm not dying to defend my country (assuming it wasn't my country that started the war in the first place).
Unfortunately the list of places to go that aren't equally shit is getting shorter and shorter...
That list is getting shorter and shorter because we're letting a global media superpower fall to fascism.
That's the real problem with the line of saving yourself; it's only a temporary measure. The longer you let fascism fester, the more it expands. Nowhere is safe.
