I know Im being naive but how can the city support this but at he same time not allow a tax payer funded cross or a message saying He is Risen at Easter.
Because the Left has been very adamant, and successful, at arguing that all their various "ideologies" aren't politics they are "human rights." Which means they are immune to all the rules they set up to keep everyone else out.
Its why they use the phrase "common sense" so hard with gun control. Because that's how they effectively controlled the narrative on everything else, by arguing it wasn't political at all.
I guess this is why when people started noticing blatant politics in comics or gaming or tv shows they first denied it being political and then came “it was always political”
In my nearest city, a few years ago, the local woke arts festival (quite literally a celebration of debauchery and death, but anyway) managed to get municipal funding to put up giant glowing red upside-down crosses…
When local Christian groups complained, they were told to shut up, and that it “brings in the right kind of tourists”…
They would never be even allowed to put up their own crosses off that size, in the right size and colour, let alone getting funding to do so…
But because it’s sex-and-death fest (which started again yesterday), it’s all fine and dandy…
Meanwhile in Melbourne even the trams (streetcars) are now plastered in hideous woke “contemporary First Nations art”, some of which includes photos of mutilated plastic dolls in various skin colours…
“Public art”, also for a so-called “arts festival”…
Ah, but you see, that wouldn’t be the “right” kind of tourists… taps head
Perth and Sydney both do exactly as you say. And you’re not wrong. Perth’s Christmas light’s in particular are awesome (though Stockholm was better).
But unfortunately the erm… “Powers that be” here aren’t chasing after the dollars of that type of tourist.
Nah, they want pretentious hipster wankers, you see. The type who wear their white guilt on their sleeve, and would literally pay money to bathe in the blood of a dead bull (yes, that really happened, a few years ago)…
Actually, I think the lowlight may be when they successfully solicited donations of blood from (part-)Aboriginals to then soak a colonial-era Australian flag in (literally). That’s about as sick as it gets…
So yeah, that kind of “tourist”. That’s who they are trying to market to.
Not so much “wide appeal” as appealing to the kind of hipster who works for Vice (or whatever replaces it), lives in Manhattan or Mayfair, and, erm, hates their own race… And is probably a trust fund baby. Like the wife of the guy who runs and funds this whole thing literally is.
I love art but I steer clear of art festivals now. Similar to how I don’t go to the major comic cons anymore. Smaller venues are more fun. If I ever make it out to Australia I would love to see the Christmas display

Didn't you hear about the separation of church and state these retards will tell you is in the Constitution
Yea but it boggles my mind how they approve of a blatant political statement like this on the taxpayer dime.
They claim it isn't political.
I know. Just like they claimed BLM flags weren’t. The logic they use makes me scratch my head
Because the state religion is anal sex nigger worship.

My country has gone mad.
I guarantee you if they did some Christmas celebration with a huge nativity they would get more tourists

Yep.
Shit is absolutely bizarre.
