Things are absolutely off the rails, here. The camps they’re building. The fact that you literally cannot apply for a job, now, without “the vaxx”. The fact that the few “celebrities” and famous people who held out have now been coerced, for fear of losing their jobs (Sam Frost, David Reynolds, the Carlton AFL player, etc), the fact that restrictions ARE GETTING MORE EXTREME, for the unvaccinated, as more people get “jabbed”.
The talk of boosters, and how THEY will be mandated next. The ever-changing media narrative, and the gaslighting, such as “it was always meant to be this way”, particularly on state funded sources. The fact that the very worst conspiracy theories about all this, HAVE ALMOST ALL BEEN PROVEN TO BE TRUE. The demonization, the violent rhetoric, the threats to prevent us from travelling interstate (INCLUDING TO OUR HOMES), or to literally remove our healthcare. It is, on the whole, absolutely fucking terrifying…
It’s seriously getting to the point where I don’t think this society can survive, like this. They’ll either kill those of us that resist, or we’ll have to fight back, by all means necessary. It’s fucking insane.
Even LockdownSkepticismAU on Preddit is turning, as I’ve said before… They’re beginning to become weirdly resigned to it, and weirdly aggressive towards anyone who dares suggest that resistance is absolutely necessary. Or, at least, some posts there have become that.
But it’s not just online. At my doctor, I get insulted for not being “double jabbed”. At the hospital, they sneer and mock me. Even when I was LITERALLY GOING FOR MY FIRST DOSE, they mocked and verbally abused me for “taking so long”…
Go to cafés, sometimes they’ll be ranting about “plague rats”. Go to visit family in the nursing home, they’lol tell you how they plan to lock you out, and mandate boosters. Even my psycho abusive parents have started turning the screws now…
What the fuck is going on??
I hate to seek reassurance, like this, but seriously, it’s… Beginning to feel like I’m in a cult, and I’m one of very, very few I can see who is actually even QUESTIONING this shit, let alone actually calling it out…
I’m not sure I can go on like this.
If my Uni mandates vaccination, even for online classes,that may very well be it, for me, I think…
Or if I literally can’t even travel interstate, or go to the hospital, or visit my grandfather in the nursing home. Those are red lines. If those get crossed..? I’m not quite sure what I’ll do, but I fucking won’t stand for it, I’ll say that much…
Can’t live like that. Not in the long term. Masks and check-ins (plus “social distancing”, capacity limits and STILL many, many closed/shuttered businesses) are bad enough. 😞
We are a backwater.
Look at our natural history, Aborigines were here for 40k plus years untouched by the rest of the world. Didn't invent the wheel.
Our flora and fauna is unique, because we are untouched. And it also can't deal with any invasive plants or animals.
Geopolitically we have to follow the power of the day, The UK and then America and who knows after that.
Culturally, "She'll be right mate"
As a country we exist to be the final proof of "Good times create weak men"
The country has been isolated which breeds weakness in all forms. Our greatest military mythology is Gallipoli and perhaps Tobruk, both defeats.
Of course the country swallowed this hook line and sinker, we have no capacity to do anything else. I'm in the same boat re vaccination, unless I can bribe a nurse, there's no point standing because the tall poppy gets the Australian treatment. it's viscerally disgusting to be a part of.
All I can do is sandbag and obstruct as best as I can.
Go boneless when they try and take you away.
