personal anecdote that anzac day always reminds me of: used to write for a yearly "satire" paper based in WA (quality is extremely questionable), whose main purpose most years was just pissing people off. We'd started going on a very left-leaning tilt around 2012, and I remember in 2015 we ran an article conflating ANZAC day with Participation Trophies
we got a number of calls that day calling us unaustralian, calling for us to be expelled, threatening us and all sorts lmao
ofc nothing came of it, all empty threats in the end but still it doesn't take much to poke the aussie patriotism bear
Prosh? Fucking loved that shit back in the day.
might've been prosh ;)![emoji stalin-heart stalin-heart](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/0b61630a-6c52-4407-ae82-f388c0d0f668.png)
