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.
