I agree. Try sharing a fucking island (archipelago, really) with these psycho freaks…
It’s interesting… People like to point out that we, Australians I mean, are descended from convicts, as if that explains everything…
To which I reply that the problem is not the ideological “descendants” of those convicts, but of the jailers. They’re the ones who enjoyed locking people up and dehumanizing them, and I’m quite, quite sure that these people today are very much cut from the same fucking cloth, no matter how “woke” and/or righteous they may claim to be…
Amazing how “pearl clutching moral busybodies” went from (supposedly) religious right to militant atheist left in less than 30 fucking years. Really quite extraordinary…
I've been mulling that over as all this has been going on, and I wonder if it's more of an island mentality.
I only have Hawaii to compare with here in the states, and while they are far less, let's say draconian, than Aus, NZ and the others, all of them have similar tactics to approaching this situation. That being lock everything down until it burns out on the island. But the folly is thinking that you can ever have external travel or trade again because they'll just reintroduce it.
I remember years back people were discussing maybe changing our national anthem and what to change it to. Then someone suggested "Waltzing Matilda" because it's a song about stealing. So funny, am i rite? Like we're all just a bunch of Aussie larrakins, stealing sheep and drinking our billy tea LOL... only if you actually listen to that song until the end what ends up happening to that "jolly swagman"? He gets hunted down and shot. Thats us.
You've gotta learn one of these days to stop caring so much what other people think or want.
Care about yourself more, kid. Be more selfish. Go do what you want and tell the vax crazies to pound sand. What, they're gonna drag you off to a camp? Not like your life was going anywhere anyways. If they do just use it to network and recruit allies.
Hitler got his big break in prison after the failed Beer Hall Putsch. Pulled together the old nobility and officer class and created full organization against the commie faggots and their Bolshevik rulers.
By using the same ideology as the communists and the lowest collectivism, race. Then practically allowed pedo, incest and rape to happen in nazi Germany if the guy held the correct politics(reminds you of a certain political party?).
Then he did the molotov-ribbentropp pact.
Hahahahaha I don't think you should use the example of Hitler when he is pretty much against all that you've said.
If you look thru that thread, he is saying that unvaccinated are 10x more likely and later 20x more likely to spread the virus. The article he shares is as always propaganda that has a bit of information in it, the article itself says that 50% or 35% more likely to spread the virus if infected but that unvaccinated are more likely to be infected.
This of course is bull shit because those vaccinated will most likely not know or not report having covid while the unvaccinated will be more vigilant and probably test a lot more.
Someone points this, including the fact that the actual number that unvaccinated spread the virus more are inconclusive and vary greatly. But he thinks that proves his point, the guy is a moron.
So the guy who announced this whole “mask mandate dystopia” over Christmas and New Years (after ~20 months of NO MANDATE, prior, except for a week), the so-called “Chief Helfff Officer”, went on to make the “joke” that ”People wear silly hats at Christmas, and look stupid. Why shouldn’t they WANT to wear masks just as much, if not more?!”
He thought that was funny. Funny. After literally saying people in this state do not need to where masks, all through Alpha and Delta and the others…
Fucking psychopath.
The NSW “chief health officer” made a similar “joke”, that the best “Christmas present” you could buy someone (particularly your partner, or children) was to book them an appointment for a booster, against their will… She thought that was “funny”, as did the Health Minister… And that was in BY FAR the freest state, out of any of them, now…
It really is… Bizarre, living in a technofascist state run by medical bureaucrats and compliant, soul-less politicians who will literally say ANYTHING they are told… Fuck.
Haha thanks bud. Appreciate it. Yeah, I try to keep the nihilism… To myself, but it’s tough. Life is really, really fucking shit, right now. And I keep trying to “do better”, only for someone to throw another bill at me, or tell me I need to pay for something else, or I need to have another fucking “preventative procedure”. I can’t work, because nearly every business here requires you to be doubly vaxxed, so I’m just... Surviving, really.
Very soon, I won’t even be able to study online, unvaxxed. I can’t visit my dying grandfather, either…
Even rent inspections require proof of vaccination, for the most part, so I can’t even move cities…
To say it is not a good time is… A bit of an understatement. I’m not sure how I can keep going like this.
And people like that, who seem to be the majority here… Make it that much worse. 😑
My wife and I were discussing that the other day. She's never seen it and asked a similar question as to how it's a Christmas movie. I gave her the plot synopsis of: "It's only a Christmas movie because it takes place at Christmas. It's about how the dude wants to kill himself because he's all depressed about screwing up a bunch of people's lives, so the angel shows him how much more their lives would have been messed up if he'd never been around, convincing him to not neck himself by taking a gainer off the bridge. Doesn't fix anything else about how shit his current situation is, just shows him how everyone else's lives would have been worse, making him feel better about himself."
Her reply: "Jesus, that's dark as hell! This is a Christmas movie?!?!? Suicide rates are high enough at Christmas time, people don't need that shit!"
Yup. All things being equal, I'd rather go watch Miracle on 34th Street or White Christmas if I'm looking for a classic Christmas movie to watch.
I'd slot Die Hard in the "Modern Christmas Movies" category, along with Gremlins, A Christmas Story, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, and Elf. My wife still argues that both Die Hard and Gremlins don't count, but I figure if the movie takes place at Christmas time and there are Christmas elements that play into it, it's a Christmas movie.
I see it as a movie about a local elite who reluctantly embraces his role because for reasons he doesn't entirely understand he gives a damn about the town and the people in it and learns "heavy lies the crown". The sort of elite who nowadays, like George wanted to do, fuck off to college and never return to their home town.
Maybe being a George Bailey is a thankless job, but without people like that all that's left is Blackrock, Citi, Bank of America, Chase, etc...
Another one of those Communist propaganda pieces that ends up having a lot of right-wing themes.
My state has just gone from “irritatingly bullshit but tolerable restrictions” to “insane police state, masks when you leave the house, no unauthorized gatherings”, as of midnight tonight…
OVER SEVEN FUCKING CASES, STATEWIDE!!
Friends of mine will probably lose their jobs over this, as it will absolutely crush both the retail and hospitality sectors. Not being able to gather at Christmas (if that is where we are heading), will probably be the end, for some people. (More) Venues will close permanently. People will stop going out. And they’ve very much made all of it sound semi-permanent…
I sincerely don’t know how I’ll get through the next few weeks and months, without a) being arrested for “resisting”, or b) just… Giving up.
Everyone around me supports this unquestioningly…
Everyone I know who doesn’t? Left this state some time ago… 😞
It baffles me that I share a fucking planet with these people.
I agree. Try sharing a fucking island (archipelago, really) with these psycho freaks…

Make me.
Go where?
Imagine actually supporting a socialist nutjob who tanked his country and killed himself after bringing ruin to his nation.
*When I say "they got their wish", I mean, there's now a probably permanent indoor mask mandate. It's fucking scary.
I don't mean that they've killed me. Not yet. Though I'm really not sure how much longer I'll last, to be honest. The noose is tightening... :-(
My god, what is the point of a vaccine if the vaccinated are scared to death of getting the disease?
Has anyone told this shitflake that you can still spread the disease even after being vaccinated?
If you look thru that thread, he is saying that unvaccinated are 10x more likely and later 20x more likely to spread the virus. The article he shares is as always propaganda that has a bit of information in it, the article itself says that 50% or 35% more likely to spread the virus if infected but that unvaccinated are more likely to be infected.

I guess that poster never learned about lying by omission

I notice that Australia and New Zealand seem to be the main targets for the internet Marxists?
To what extent is this coming from Chinese bots and beijing funded moderators?
Clearly Martin Bryant didn't do a good enough job on Tasmania.
Haha thanks bud. Appreciate it. Yeah, I try to keep the nihilism… To myself, but it’s tough. Life is really, really fucking shit, right now.

And people like that, who seem to be the majority here… Make it that much worse. 😑
Also, can I recommend not watching It’s a Wonderful Life at moments like these..?
I didn’t realise, but it’s horribly depressing…
Like, fuck, how is that a Christmas movie??! Man…

Because it takes place around Christmas time and the rights to air it were very cheap. Now it's just been around so long it's considered a classic.
Consider making it a personal goal to live long enough to see your enemies punished for their crimes.
Yeah, on that…
