I feel so far removed from this person and his life that it's difficult to understand, even for me, that we shared a womb, a household, and a social environment for most of my life. If this is what is considered a true 'patriot' of Australia, I would gladly consider myself a traitor. The truth is, this person below is far from being an Australian in my eyes, because Australia is an accepting and multi-cultural country. These 'patriots', who think that Muslim people and left-wing identifying people are ruining this country, are completely hypocritical, because they are, in fact, ruining this country. They breed hate through ignorance, and rather than educate themselves, they shout profanity and instigate violence in the street. They allow the general public to hear their cries of small-mindedness, and too often there is a lack of people who will call out this behaviour. Well I am not one of those people.

I look down upon this behaviour. I look down upon my brother. I look down upon the political views and ignorance of my mother, and my hometown, and the environment that I was raised in. Mostly, I look forward to the future, because one day this behaviour will be seen just as ignorant and regrettable as those who partook in the discrimination of other races and cultures in the past, of which there are too many to name. One day, these people will have nobody to listen to their bigotry. Some may understand that they were wrong, that they shouldn't have done what they did. Others will continue to stew in their intolerance. It's safe to say that the rest of us will progress with our lives as if those people never mattered.
