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
  1. Follow the aussie.zone rules
  2. 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)
  3. Leave seppocentrism at the door. If you don't know what that means, you're not ready to post here yet.
  4. Avoid editorialising headlines. Opinions go in the comments, not the post.

There's a lot I didn't know about the process. It'd be interesting to get the view of US members of this community.

we would deserve to be judged.

Then how is a person deserving to be judged by others' actions? Doesn't really add up.

Guilty by association?

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Seems to be what they're arguing for.

Everyone is held accountable for the actions of their compatriots.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This might be true but it should definitely not be.

[–] fizzle@quokk.au 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yes it should.

Im an Australian. Of course im accountable for the harm done to our indigenous Australians despite most of that occurring before I was born. The same is true of Japanese and German gen x.

All Americans are accountable for this crisis.
