Luke Pearson @lukelpearson.bsky.social · 02/02/2026I’ve been thinking about how often we say that’ institutional racism isn’t reliant on intent’, which is true.

Luke Pearson @lukelpearson.bsky.social · 30/01/2026It isn't an ethical double standard, it's a lack of ethics entirely. Their outrage isn't determined by the severity of an event. It is determined by which events can be exploited to further their political and economic agendas. 1173

Luke Pearson @lukelpearson.bsky.social · 29/01/2026The problem isn’t that they have failed to express sufficient outrage, it’s that they strategically generate, and profit from, inciting hatred against us.

Luke Pearson @lukelpearson.bsky.social · 29/01/2026Why would we be surprised that they aren’t outraged about the people they spend all their time attacking being attacked?

![PM defends decision to invite Herzog to Australia
Nick Newling
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has backed his decision to invite Israeli President Isaac Herzog to Australia, saying it was appropriate to allow the Jewish community to mourn with the leader.
"He was [invited] because he's the head of state. He's the equivalent of the governor-general, and when the Jewish community asked for their head of state to visit. I think it is appropriate that people be allowed to mourn and to do so respectfully," Albanese told Triple M radio in Hobart.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:zahpozqjxl4liocol7bqintr/bafkreiffklaere6hf5atvxv3tmtwx575zgssevwjncr3agmlizex32r4ta)
