I'm not just talking about where I am (Australia, as most of you already know, by now), either... Some of the stuff I hear coming out of the US is actually worse (mandates to even attend University, for example... That isn't legal here, yet...), and you guys are all about your "freedom", or so you claim, at least...
But it seems to be pretty much everywhere. Chile - mandates for everything, and masks everywhere. Peru - gender-based curfews. The UK - PCR tests to even fucking travel. Canada - increasingly awful mandates and restrictions. France, Italy, Germany - vaccine passports and masks. Japan - separating children and mothers, and forcibly quarantining them separately...
And you already know about China, and South Africa, and New Zealand, Australia, and of course the US, so I don't feel the need to go over all those shitholes again.
What scares me, though, is the COMPLETE LACK OF ACTUAL RESISTANCE to all of this, except for France, Germany and the UK, and even then it has achieved fuck all...
Seriously, I'm not advocating violence, I'm honestly not, but if people don't, and won't, stand up now... How the fuck are we going to avoid full global fascism, a la 1984..?!
I never thought people would be this fucking weak, or utterly, utterly... Worse than cowardly. I'm not sure "coward" accurately describes someone who snitches on their neighbours, or their family, or "reports" people to the authorities for posting old travel snaps (yeah, that happened here, last year). I'm not sure it applies to someone who LITERALLY WANTS PEOPLE LIKE ME DEAD, because I'm not willing to get the fucking AstraZeneca jab. Nah, I don't think "coward" cuts it. I'm not quite sure what does. Fascist? Bastard? Literal scum of the earth? How the FUCK did society fall like this, so quick, nevermind all the other insane bullshit going on right now, all over the place..?
Fuck.
Well as of today, ALL of NSW is under lockdown. Regional NSW is under lockdown for 7 days...ha! Yeah right! I've heard that one before...how many "7 day" lockdowns have Melbourne been under?
Good bye part time job, was nice having it while it lasted. I got fired today because there wasn't enough business to keep me on. I knew it was coming but fuck me, on top of that, get home and find out we go into full lock down state wide. I'm okay, I still have my primary job and can survive on that if I scale down, but I liked having my part time job on the side to give a little bit more cash on the side.
But hey, got to have "hope" right, we're all in this together, right? If I have to hear that lie one more fucking time! Yes, we the peasants are all in this together and it's about time the peasants stood up and took it back instead of fighting amongst ourselves.
But hey, the peasants are more happy sitting on their couch watching Netflix and believing the propaganda.
