^ Mind the screams. "Dan Andrews, that's on your fuckin' hand, you dog."
This was inevitable.
When tyranny and oppression becomes so unbearably stifling to a population (and protest, speech, and government choice are no longer an option) they will begin to lash out.
This is one of the many ways they may chose to do that, regardless of legal implications.
The Australian government has made it repeatedly clear that the lives of less than fully vaccinated people who have failed to properly register are enemies of the state and it's glorious revolution. They are to be savagely punished until they comply or die. This person, unsurprisingly, chose death. This includes the Internment Camps that I have heard idiot Australians attempting to defend. This includes significant amounts of police violence and harassment. This includes personal violence and harassment. This includes the removal of all available economic activity.
This man, correctly, understood that the law serves no purpose in Australia. The state has made a friend-enemy distinction between it's loyalists and dissenters. As Cicero notes, the law falls silent in times of war. As Clausewitz notes, this is because the law does not apply to your enemy, because the law is a moral force, and they are outside of your moral framework. This is why the statement: "They want you broke, they want you homeless, they want your wife dead, your children raped, and they think it's funny." rings so true. That is how you treat a sworn enemy who is outside your moral framework. The Australian state is at war with it's people, and that is why the law fell silent, and that is why this man chose death.
He will not be the last.
To the slaves and the villeins of petty tyrants: this is your fault. In fact, this is what you wanted. You may celebrate his death at your earliest convenience, you may even write a song about it and post it to TikTok. But please spare the rest of us your lecture about how good of a person you are. You are abominable creatures who have chosen, at every opportunity, an illusion of safety for the real sacrifice of Liberty. You did this under the guise of safety, but your only true reason was the opportunity to exert power over others. Unfortunately for you, this will continue to get worse: that is also your fault.
Yes, you are the baddies.
If you haven't figured that out from the smell of burning flesh yet, then I don't know what else to tell you.
So it's come to this.
God rest his soul.
His fight's over.
The rest of us must continue, and keep pushing against tyranny.
Learning how to take casualties is a harder lesson than learning how to avoid them.
This can't be said enough. Losing people is fucking harrowing, especially if they are on your side, your team. And, as you said, that is why the rest of us must continue.
You forgot the first part of "They want you broke..." It's "When we win"
Winning is just the out-come of consistently doing the right thing.
Learn the job of the man above you, teach your job to the man below you . Then, you keep pushing, and you can adapt when you lose people.
and keep quiet about it until it's done
Just in case we needed confirmation that things are as bad as we think they are.
I seriously need to make a video of people being assaulted, bludgeoned, imprisoned, or burned alive, set to the tune of that TikTok "Shut The Fuck Up and Put On Your Mask."
Call it my latest effort at subversion: use an enemy ear-worm to push the contrast.
It's why one of my favorite videos is: This is what community looks like
Lol, the Baltimore riots.
Probably one of the big redpills that beat the leftard out of me. Could not reconcile what I was seeing with the ideology, nor could I believe the nonsense reporting around it.
Little did I know that that was going to be the standard for the next decade, and that it would go from happening annually to almost monthly by 2020.
Believe it or not NPR actually broke my brain because I genuinely opposed Trump in 2016. However, there were so many overt lies that they were spewing it was blowing my fucking mind.
"On The Media", a media watchdog program, had their producer come on and explicitly state that objective journalism could not be tolerated any longer because Trump was a despot. This was in October of 2016. ... ... I started yelling at my car radio in the Taco Bell drive through.
"It's Been A Minute" did a story about a border town that was basically entirely Mexican. They interviewed an old white woman who lived there her whole life, and said that she had no choice but to move because all her friends and family had either moved or died. She also cited that no one spoke English, no one wrote in English (so she couldn't even communicate with people to do shopping), and crime was rampant. The lady said several of her remaining friends had been mugged. The interviewer talked to a college professor that said she was just re-iterating racist stereotypes, and that she basically had to learn Spanish and be uncomfortable. The narrator said that there hadn't been any evidence that crime had increased, but other people they interviewed had reported muggings and someone crashed a car into a bank and robbed it. ... ... I started yelling at my car radio in the Burger King drive through.
I think it was "Weekend Edition" that had a panel to discuss the Hollywood Access tapes that had been released. It was the one where Trump talked about pussy grabbing. Now, having listened to the damn thing, I know he said, "When you're rich, they LET you grab them by the pussy." Keyword let, indicating consent. They accused Trump of admitting to rape. ... ... I started yelling at my car radio on a side-street.
Another news show came on and spoke about a recent mass shooting. They mentioned that the NRA said that more efforts needed to be taken in regards to the US's broken mental healthcare system to reduce these types of incidents. In response, NPR put on a political activist for an Autism Awareness organization who claimed that the NRA was trying to blame Autistic people for mass shootings. ... ... I started yelling at my car radio in the farmer's market.
On one of their evening news shows, they had a panel that mentioned that Betsy DeVoss (the Trump cabinet member I've had a perfect 180 turn around on) had entirely rescinded the "Dear Colleague" memo which had effectively ordered schools to construct Title IX Tribunals which were explicitly unconstitutional. I'd actually had to defend someone who was alleged to have sexually harassed me in their tribunal. I was not originally called upon to give any statements, despite being the alleged victim. I was ecstatic to learn that at the very least the impetus for these Cardiassian-style tribunals was finally gone. The panel claimed that DeVoss had legalized rape on campus. ... ... I started yelling at my car radio in a parking lot.
Correlation doesn't equal causation, but for some strange reason I haven't yelled at my car radio since I stopped listening to NPR.
This doesn't even mention the time when years ago, Left-wing liberals were calling into a call-in show during the Bundy Ranch stand-off and were advocating for drone-striking the entire protest and killing everyone there. I remember that at the time, I was writing an argument in my philosophy class on why drone strikes might be necessary against specific terrorists, and how much resistance I had been getting from other Left-wingers. Now, it was weird because the show was like, Science Friday, so that guy had no reason to vent to them about that issue, and they quietly walked him off the air, but they didn't condemn him or anything. Nowadays, I'd expect that attitude to be far more commonplace.
Honestly, I oughta do the same thing with the "What do we want, dead cops, when do we want it, now" chats or "Every city every town, burn the precinct to the ground." and put it overtop of the the "January 6th Memorials".
Do it.
Also, let's get video of people enjoying themselves in free areas and get those vids in front of the eyes of Australians. If they see how the free world is living, maybe they'll remember what real life is like and stop complying.
I think I need something better than Windows Moviemaker to edit video. Any recommendations for something that's sub $300?
How about https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/? Depending on what you are doing you could only need the free version.
You are the most useful of all commenters. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Only thing I know how to use is Premiere Pro. $20 a month. There's a free trial if you haven't already burned it.
Blender is best known for 3D graphics, but it also can be used to edit videos.
Hmmmmmm. That's an interesting idea. I've always like 3D graphics.
I'm not sure how killing yourself publicly will help.
They'll probably enjoy watching that.
My thoughts exactly. They treat unvaccinated like non-humans. They would care more about a dog then someone who is not vaccinated.
I dunno, they shot all those dogs to stop people from leaving the house, so I don't know that those who are enforcing this shit are even human.
A similar self-immolation kicked off the Arab Spring. A lot of resistance movements were, well, moved by this kind of ultimate self sacrifice. Also this is extreme and being done because of the actions of people who try to portray themselves as the "good" guys. It helps break the brainwashing of those following blindly, or those who know its happening but think they could comply their way out of the situation.
The difference is the Arab Spring was promoted by the US State Department and friendly media to inspire color revolutions around the world. In this case we have media actively covering up dissent to keep it from spreading.
Fine.
I want that mask off permanently.
I want to see those pearly whites, and I want others to see them to.
The mask has been off for a while now. Didn't you see the Oedipal President Macron with his little speech?
I still wonder why Australia and not NZ. Or maybe Australia is resisting more than NZ and that's why it seems worse.
Is the reason for Australia being the test run because there's absolutely no feasible way to leave without government help?
Does Australia have significance to the enemy?
New Zealand isn't resisting at all. The Fascist PM there was expected to win, and she did, but she still seemed to cheat and also ordered the election to be delayed. "Kiwis" are telling me that she's fairly popular, and people there are saying she's bringing a lot of credibility to New Zealand. They enjoy their fascism. I'd kick them from the 5 EYES at this point.
Australia has significance to China, so yeah. China is currently going up against Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia, and India. Almost none of those places are prepared to tolerate Chinese subversion if they can avoid it, for any number of reasons (including Cultural, Historical, Political, Regional, Fiscal, Ethnic, and Religious contrasts). Australia, being part of the Fabian Socialist West, is the easiest to subvert with the least effort and infiltration. Securing labor, industry, and resources from Australia is actually very important (it's historically one of the reasons Japan considered invading).
The Fabains themselves are deeply invested in China so they stand to profit heavily from China's rise and are doing precious little to stop them. The US not being an active partner in the pacific will make South Korea, Indonesia, and Philippines significantly undermined. Indonesia and Philippines also have significant natural resources to exploit. Problem with Indonesia is that it is literally the largest Muslim country in the world, and they'll be a much harder nut to crack than Australia or Philippines. This is why the Uyghurs have to be genocided, the Muslims don't come quietly with the Communists.
Australia is a test run for the Fabians just because they are (as you've noticed) the most authoritarian-tolerant of the Anglosphere. More heavy handed measures are needed in AU, where the England and US require more subversion.
Of course she won. If she didn't win, there'd be 400 investigations because women aren't allowed to lose elections. I also know people from there. They are utterly deluded, to a point that I think they're mentally broken.
Is China really the end boss? I don't believe that. You know my opinion, of course, that this is the culmination of literal decades of our feminist friends seizing power, blackmailing people and bribing others. The problem with the idea of it being Chinese domination is that if the whole world's governments were really led by the Chinese, why are we still all talking about Taiwan? It wouldn't surprise me if they were causing division for the sake of showing their people how CCP rule is better than Western "decadence", but the idea that they've taken over already? And why would they do it like this when Belt and Road was working perfectly well for extracting resources?
It's also extremely weird that both Taiwan and Ukraine were completely silent and uneventful for the three weeks that the NDAA included a draft for women. Answers for that one on the back of a postcard.
China's not the end-boss. There is no real "end-boss" because all of the biggest bosses have their own separate agendas. The Fabians and the CCP are tied together, but (like all Leftists) they are not perfect allies. They still want to screw each other over. China is just a major player in Australia's affairs. Thier global strategic initiative in the Pacific and Africa are also something to keep an eye on.
I'm not saying that, it's not that simple. China is one major player. They have limits on what they can do. The Fabians are another major player, and they have limits on what they can do.
Huh? Taiwan and Ukraine are both in a bit of a shitstorm right now due to a lack of American interest. They are scrambling to find allies. Taiwan is finding them in Japan, SK, and Vietnam. Ukraine... well, they might not exist here in a few months. They're not finding allies generally.
That's everywhere but the US, surely. Maybe Mexico if they piss off the cartel too much.
This is the second or third time, in a month…
And that’s just ones I have seen video of… God knows how many more there has been. ALL in Victoria, so far…
Just saying. 😞
This is a reposting of the second incident. The first was a woman.
I do expect there will be more though. They've made people's lives not worth living.
the kings laugh... you gave away your amendments. what we must NEVER do here.
Its even more explicit than that. Rousseau, who is the prime source of pretty much all modern Left-Wing thought, explicitly stated that anyone who does not follow the directive of the state is therefor not a moral actor and must be treated as an enemy of the state. This due to the fact that "the state" is supposed to be the will of all of the people of the state.
This is where that leads. This is where that always leads. And at this point, while I believe the backlash will come and freedom will be restored, I can only hope that some of them suffer consequence and that history is not kind to them.
You'll need to gain control of the media and academia to write history.
Rousseau: the first fascist
Which also means the first communist, since fascist are just honest communist (or communist are dishonest fascist. Take your pick).
But I never really understood just how insane Rousseau was until I heard them cover more of his stuff including quotes on the Lotus Eaters the other day. I had remembered hearing about him and getting some vague understanding when we covered political theory in Middle and High School. We talked about Hobbes vs. Locke vs. Rousseau, and when I saw that Rousseau's baseline argument amounted to "The natural Man is peaceful and just, and it is society and civilization who corrupts him", I very quickly came to the conclusion of "Oh no, he's retarded" and moved on to the intricacies of Hobbes and Locke since they were at least speaking sense.
Then they started talking about him and had some of his quotes on Lotus Eaters since a lot of the modern Left has (knowingly for some and unknowingly for most) returned to Rousseau, and that its part of the reason that they seem so crazy to the average American who's civilization and ideals are based on Locke. And as I heard more of Rousseau speak, the more I realized that if I ever got the time machine and was allowed to kill a single person in history, it would be Rousseau.
I could see the argument at the time, but it's just provably false now.
I think that's a premium segment I haven't listened to yet.
I wouldnt know. I am not a premium member yet, but I do know they have covered Rousseau in some of their premiums segments. But the part that I heard was from a few days ago where some Dem congresswoman had told the BBC that what was happening in the US was an "Ideological Civil War", and Carl was just quoting Rousseau to show that she was more right than she may have realized. He also pointed out that, at least for many of the thought leaders of the modern Left, this was deliberate.
Specifically, Carl cited the Critical Race Theory bible that he read through and how there was an essay in there from one of the CRT Founders where their argument was essentially "Well, yes. From a Lockeian point of view, the US is working perfectly fine, and the things it is doing wrong it is slowly but surely correcting so that it has the more perfect republic of Locke. But I hate Locke and think we should have a republic as designed by Rousseau, so we must destroy the status quo."
EDIT: On the note of that CRT essay, Carl apparently did a non-premium, longform breakdown of it on their other channel. See here.
Definitely get the Bronze tier and try it for a month to check it out.
The premium subjects are pretty damn good. I'm probably going to upgrade to silver tier to listen to the written articles. I'm also a fan of history, so the long-form discussion about historical subjects with History Bro are my jam as well.
I am planning to. At the moment though, I am about to be moving out for the first time to live on my own, so I am going to be holding off for some time until I get on my feet and determine my expenses, living conditions, etc. I dont foresee any sort of major issues with this situation, I am just taking the "abundance of caution" route so that I can ensure I dont have any sort of drastic issues.
Sounds good to me. I think if you want an example, I can probably download one of the premium tiers as an audio file and email it to you.
that would be fine, only in a world without politicians and greed
It's unfortunate he chose the way out that didn't also take out even one of the occupying forces.
Cause of death: climate change
Potentially more accurate, and disturbingly unironic, 'Cause of death: Covid.'
Just shows you how insane those anti-vaxxers are.
...is what I'm sure someone will say.
I'm 100% certain of that:
"Look what they do if we just leave them to their own devices! ANTI-VAX IS A MENTAL ILLNESS"
Ok, so something important happened, when I clicked on a link someone posted here about that damn “Black skyscraper” in NYC…
Down the bottom of the linked page, I got a banner ad, from the Australian government. What it said was along these lines: “Make sure your trip overseas is for the right reasons. “Penalty $450,000”
Naturally, I was mortified, and I clicked it. It appears to be a page created in the wake of the Djokovic scandal, telling people that if they come to Australia “unvaccinated”, they will be caught, fined and then deported…
My phone crashed immediately afterwards, and apparently I also lost the screenshot, but I swear on all that is holy that just happened… 😑
If it happens again, I’ll post the proof.
Genuinely unsettling…
My country is fast becoming a terror state. 😣
HMM 🤔
I could set my VPN to Australia for a sec and try it.
Give it a shot (yes, yes, poor choice of words, I know)...
It only came up for me on that site, presumably because it is an American site, and bizarrely, whatever software is running the ads thought I was an American looking to enter Australia..?
But give it a try, yeah. See if it does it for you...
I tried searching (Google, admittedly), word for word, what the banner ad said, to see if I could source it that way, but couldn't find the exact site... Which is interesting. Definitely spooky. But yeah, it was... The most intimidating thing I have seen put out by "my" government in a while, I'll say that much...
They do this occasionally. Be it refugees, or hospitals being "overwhelmed", or "get your vaccination now", or, and you'll like this one, Imp, "Violence against women, Australia says NO"/the more recent "Silence is violence" campaign. It's usually just in newspapers, and on the TV + radio, however...
But it is a worry that I'm used to being regularly threatened by the government in this way, and being told "Obey our arbitrary rules or you WILL be caught."
It shouldn't be like this. Not in a "liberal democracy". But in Aus and NZ, now, unfortunately that is "the norm"... :-/
What's the "black skyscraper?"
https://kotakuinaction2.win/p/140w2P0nNI/the-1663-feet-tall-affirmation-t/c/
Doubt.
Better things to immolate than yourself.
This is the second person that's done this in Victoria too.
*That we know of.
There's probably been more, unaccounted for and hushed up by the media...
Seen the assault of the jogger (literally, not the Seppo version) in the park, in Melbourne, this week..?
Shit like that... Is escalating. Fast... :-/
what happened with the jogger?
I heard...
Hahahah more based Aussies doing their pointless protests that change nothing
holy shit theres a badass on this site and he knows how to use a keyboard. you virgins better not make fun of this fucking alpha nerd over here
sit down faggot
