As Daniel the Man pointed out, she’s completely wrong. If a government in any “democratic” country was going to literally start killing its own citizens, it’d be this one…

I don’t fear them, per she. I despise them. I absolutely fucking hate their guts…

I don’t think people from elsewhere understand just how corrupt and oligarchic this country is. How little power we have, as citizens…

Is the US more corrupt? Yes. But do Americans seemingly have more power, or more… “Will”, I suppose, to change things..? I think so.

Australians are apathetic, obedient, slavish, sycophantic freaks. It genuinely scares me how much Australians shit on “outsiders”, or even anyone questioning “the rulez” or “not playing the game”…

Watch our country fall apart from afar, and feel for us as the ones who actually have to live through it. Especially Victorians, and Melburnians even more so… Melbourne is so corrupt, and so broken, it’s like… Australia’s version of Portland or Baltimore or… Somewhere even worse. Nuke it from fucking orbit, I say, at this point.

And fuck Lehmann. As others have said, she’s just an opportunistic narc, saying whatever she thinks will get her the most financial benefit… 😒

Self-interest trumps espoused “values” and “ideology”, every time…
