From Peddit: This happened today. It's the first time I've felt that Australian society might actually never recover from this year. The rhetoric, and the violence - the... hate, and the classism, from people in this thread. It's genuinely disturbing. (www.reddit.com)

Reddit is not an organic discussion of topics. Reddit's sole purpose now is to influence the reader's opinions. It has joined the MSM.

Look at any thread related to Amazon if you want to validate this comment. The astroturfing and bots have captured the site

It's both sad and amusing that they blame the lock-down on one man, rather than the government that's actually enforcing that bullshit. Australia is completely and irrevocably fucked if this is the common sentiment down there.

Yep. It is. That is exactly what is happening, and yes, 100%, to all of what you just said.

Then again, if this... Genuinely does result in some sort of civil war, I'll be quite happy to... Enlighten, shall we say, some of these people, on what that reality will be like, for them...

Did you see them cower, and go "not me, officer, not me!" in the comments, when they were called out for literally inciting violence..? It's so fucking pathetic, man. Beyond sad...

Someone claimed that the guy's house has already been burned down, thanks to the media "doxxing" its address, yesterday...

So this has already had disturbing consequences.

The people in that thread are quite literally inciting violence against the guy, as they are elsewhere on the sub/Reddit more broadly...

The mods removed it, but... Comments like those, and posts like that, are what get people killed. Never mind the telling anyone who questioned it, or disagreed, to "fuck off to America"... This does not end well, ever.

I genuinely fear for this place.

That thread read like a time machine back to spring 2020.

"I'm mad because I did my part and sacrificed so much only to have this one asshole endanger everyone"

It's like you guys are over a year behind on the timeline

Apparently I accidentally posted the original link instead of the archive...

Here is that: https://archive.is/m0hcH

Sorry, background?

What's this guy supposedly done to rustle their jimmies so?

He "escaped" hotel quarantine, after entering the state without a pass (yeah, you need a "pass" to enter, now, like some Communist state), and went to a supermarket, and then, I think, the mate's house which may have subsequently been burned down...

He's now refusing to comply with any of the Gestapo requests for further information, or wear a mask (guy is based AF), and so... Here we are.

But I would also add that the guy is, for want of a better word, a "bogan", in Reddit's eyes, and he lives/was found in a "bogan" (i.e. chav/hick/redneck/yokel) suburb. Hence the despicable, violent rhetoric.

He also wore a hoodie!! shock horror

I promise you, if this was a middle-class businessman in a suit, or a politician, say, you would be very, very unlikely to hear any of this sort of... Rhetoric.

It's purely because those involved, on Reddit, think they are better than him. "Superior humans", who are happy to live their lives locked inside, and all that...

Apparently the threshold for lockdowns in Tasmania is one case. This is effectively what Fauci said in March of 2020 when he was asked when the lockdowns will end and he said when there are zero covid cases. What's disturbing about that comment is the fact that the human race has never entirely eliminated any time of viral infection to zero cases in its entire history and exactly no news outlet ever questioned Fauci's judgement on the matter.

Then you look at the restrictions in Tasmania and the entire island state is essentially a fucking prison: No visitors to homes allowed. Leaving home only allowed for emergency food shopping, caring for elderly/disabled, "permitted" work, outdoor exercise 2 hours a day, valid doctors appointments.

Holy shit! Never give up your guns folks. It's the only reason the US hasn't turned into a despotic state like Australia and its territories.

Imagine getting mRNA vaccination for smallpox today....you can still get it, still get sick from it, still transmit it, but fuck you for questioning the vaccination.

Funny how the left, the self appointed champions of the downtrodden, are quite happy to denigrate & oppress the working classes when they don't bend the knee.

Like all forms of marxism, it's more about hating the rich than loving the poor.

In fact, they seem to regard hating the poor as some kind of warm-up for what they intend to do to the rich.

Today's leftists are butthurt commies taking vengeance on the working and middle classes because they stuck with God and country instead of uniting with the "workers of the world".

Funny how the white working class is always their prime enemy, whether we're talking about the US, UK, Australia, France, Germany Sweden...

They would NEVER fucking dare to say the same about some legit 60 IQ barbaric illegal.

Leftists always show their true colours when it's about lower class whites. Suddenly uneducated and poor are always good insults for whites. But say the same about some Somali who goes around attacking people on the streets like an absolute savage because LULZ and rape small children because it was normal back home? OH, you are a racist.

You can’t edit titles. I tried…

There’s now three (different) archive links in this thread. I think people can figure that out for themselves.

Moot point on the web traffic thing - the Tasmania sub has gone private "because we can't keep up with the doxxing posts and comments about individuals relating to the cause of the COVID lockdown."

It looks like I (partly) broke them, then, when I reported the post (yeah, very faggy, I know. But even after mods “removed” it, these fucks kept commenting, and sending me and others who disagreed death threats), so that’s just hilarious…

Ahahahahahaha… We did it, boys and girls! We strangled their ability to doxx people, and threaten them, at least temporarily!!

I’ll keep my eye on the r/Hobart sub…

Emmanuel Goldstein In the dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949), by George Orwell, the Two Minutes Hate is the daily, public period during which members of the Outer Party of Oceania must watch a film depicting the enemies of the state, specifically Emmanuel Goldstein and his followers, to openly and loudly express hatred for them.

They have same behavior with this dude, but just through reddit.

Amusingly, the sub has now gone private, as has the rrrrr/Hobart one. So don’t follow the original link (although apparently the message it gives you, explaining why they are private now, is quite amusing!), follow one of the three archives attached to this thread instead.

Sorry I didn’t make another, final archive before they killed it. I thought about it, but I genuinely didn’t expect this response from the mods there, so… I didn’t.

In summary all you miss that happened since was more vile comments, and death threats against me and others who questioned the circlejerk… So that’s fun! 😑

Fuck him. If you're against the lockdowns, the spyware and the vaccine mandates, don't make a martyr out of the dickhead who broke the one rule that makes them all obsolete: "Don't bring that shit here."

None of that was “obsolete”. We still had ALL that shit, here, before the bloke did this.

Stop blaming individuals for not playing this dumb game. Blame those who put these bullshit fucking rules in place in the first place!

Besides, your idea is completely unsustainable, and has already been shown, multiple times over, in this country, not to fucking work!
