“…everytime we are lured into the light, we are mugged by the darkness of this country’s history. Of course, racism is killing the Austrailian Dream! It is self evident, that it’s killing the Australian Dream! But we are better than that.”
Stan Grant
“Es gehört ja zum ewigen Credo deutscher und europäischer Flüchtlingspolitik, daß man die Fluchtursachen in den Herkunftsländern bekämpfen will. Doch was ist damit eigentlich gemeint? Mehr Demokratie oder mehr Unterdrückung? Und wer soll da wirklich bekämpft werden? Die Diktaturen oder die Flüchtlinge? Bisher haben Europas Regierungen ihre konkreten Pläne zur Zusammenarbeit mit afrikanischen Staaten unter Verschluss gehalten. Vielleicht auch deshalb, weil ein Pakt mit Despoten so gar nicht zum Bild einer Europäischen Union passt, die für Freiheit, Demokratie und Menschenrechte stehen will.”
“However complex politically, economically, scientifically the question of the environment is, it simply boils down to a question of altruism versus selfishness.”

“What you can do with a computer is incredible, because you don’t use it like a tool, you use it like a part of yourself.”

“If even the Governor can’t distinguish between the good and the bad elements of the community and has decided to punish everyone equally, then that should go both ways. I know the police love their ridiculous, unneccessary military equipment. So here’s another patronising test: let’s take it all away from them. And if they can make it through a whole month without killing a single unarmed black man, then, and only then, can they get their fucking toys back!”
John Oliver
