I'm really sorry, man. This whole situation is so fucking crazy, I keep thinking I'm going to wake up from the dream, but it gets more insane every day. I was chatting with an Australian on Discord last year who was describing things as "draconian" and I kind of thought he was being a drama queen, at the time. But: nope. I really hope mass resistance with somehow save the day.
Yeah, it's funny, hey?
Initially, last year, I sort of gave them a pass, for a while, because, like you say, I didn't wanna be a drama queen, and also... It kind of almost seemed reasonable, with what the media was showing us elsewhere, and if it really did prevent mass death, for a while? But I ONLY "accepted" it because they claimed they were only "emergency powers", and things would rapidly go back to normal. They never did. And then, as things only ramped up, and ramped up some more, even with no new cases..? I guess that's when I truly said "fuck it".
But I've always been a "lockdown skeptic". I always thought Dan was a powerhungry arsehole. And I think the whole "banning people from leaving the country", which they put in place way back in March 2020, and never rescinded..? I think that made it clear, right from the beginning, that this was never about the fucking virus.
Just the sheer... Lack of logic, through all of this. And the inconsistency. The hypocrisy. The political point scoring and tribalism. And the lies. All of it has just... Broken me, dude.
But honestly, the biggest difference, for me, between how I viewed this last year and now? It's the media. I now see that they are just as bad as these fucking politicians, cops and bureaucrats. Maybe even worse, in some cases. They're the biggest cheerleaders for lockdowns, and EVEN STRICTER restrictions. They want to ruin people's lives. They are actively doxxing people, down here, and that's without even going into all their lives, literal fake fucking news, and sheer propaganda and fearmongering.
I know a few journalists. I am utterly disgusted by what they have done, and been a part of. They are the reason we are in this situation, and they are the reason the politicians and "activist judges" know they can get away with it. I will never forgive them for that, and I honestly... Don't know how these people can walk the streets with their heads held high, and not get pelted with shit, at this point.
Woo, thanks for letting me get all that out of my system. Apologies for the rant. :-/
Do you get the sense that most other people there are aghast at what's transpiring or are people afraid to talk about it? Do the journalists think they'll be spared for their allegiance? I guess I'm most surprised that almost all of your premiers are going along with this -- is it Queensland that isn't playing ball? Do you have any rights to call for recall elections? When are your next elections? For me, over the last 2 years or so, I've also had to have a reckoning with media that I had previously believed was, if not unbiased, at least honest -- and which clearly is not lol. And then having to question everything down to the roots that I've been led to believe, i.e. if they can't tell the truth about xyz, there's no reason to trust they were ever telling the truth about abc.
I'll try to tackle this as best I can, so bear with me...
First question is hard to answer. From the sample size I have, I think, either people here are, for the most part, genuinely utterly terrified of the virus (thanks, media), or they're lying, or those that are not are afraid to speak out. I know, for my part, that if I speak out on non-anonymous social media, I'll lose many, many friends. I'm yet to see any of the randos I know on there call any of this out. At all. Including my "leftist" friends who call themselves "activists", lol.
Some prominent Aussies HAVE, however, spoken out. See: Tony Abbott, Andrew Bogut (basketball), James Troisi (soccer), the Million Dollar Bogan/Daniel Hayes, who is responsible for that video of hotel quarantine hell I uploaded the other day, and finally Craig Kelly, Clive Palmer and George Christensen, who are all federal politicians.
We also have our little LockdownSkepticismAU Reddit Sub, where I find most of my likeminded fellow Aussies, and I think there's a lot of us amongst the bigger LockdownSkep/NNN crowd. So we're out there, but I would have to say we seem to be massively outnumbered, for now. There have been some pretty big protests, though, despite the protests being "banned", and each time I see them they are growing in number, and giving less ground to TBTB, so that's something.
For your third question: the premiers are the main problem, my dude. Like, they're worse than the federal government, on all counts. There is no resistance from them. They are quite literally my worst enemy, rn. THEY are the ones making the federal government come up with even more fascist shit than they might otherwise (not to let Scotty off the hook. The man is as much of an incompetent fascist as Gladys).
If you mean, is Qld resisting the push towards fascism? Fuck no. Palace-chook is one of the worst. If by "playing ball" you mean, making things worse by refusing to comply with the "national roadmap", and therefore keeping us in perpetual lockdown for even longer? Then yes, you would be right.
All the premiers and chief ministers are fucking awful. Literally every single one. McGowan (WA) and Andrews (Vic) are on another level of fucked, though. But I have serious problems with the response of every single state and territory, including the one I'm stuck in. Generally speaking, though, the Labor states have been much, much worse than the LNP ones, so... Take that as you will.
I have much, much more to say, and hopefully some answers to the rest of your questions. I'll get back to you after I finish work, ha.
for the love of dog, get them to make a lifeboat ASAP
Why would you be "friends" with those people in the first place? They're obviously not your actual friends. WTF? What exactly is the appeal in having fake friends?
VPNs, yup. Of course. Dunno what Protonmail is, though. Happy to be enlightened.
But yes, the internet here is still just as "free" as it was before all this, in my experience. Well, excluding social media and the like, but I think that'd be the same for you guys, hey?
Anyway, yeah. Get in touch if you want, if that's what you're askin'.
If it makes you feel better, I voted for W the second time...
The reaction to the ghostbusters 2016 backlash did it for me.
Funny how the establishment media fuckery redpills so many people....
Wait. people have been banned from leaving the country since March 2020? Just citizens I take it? All the foreigners living there Im sure can go whereever they want and come back
