From tomorrow in Western Australia. You may walk around a supermarket all day and buy all the food you like, but if you wish to add a bottle of booze in the same shop, you must provide proof of vaccination. There is no scientific justification. It’s a sick control tactic. (media.kotakuinaction2.win)

They've tried that in a couple provinces up here in Canada too. All they achieved in Saskatchewan was to fill up hospital beds with alcoholics in withdrawal.

Well, look at Quebec and its retarded government. I think it's the only province to have set its weed age differently than its booze age. As if booze doesn't affect a young brain.

Yeah, but we're talking about quebec: the bastard child of provinces who constantly threatens to seperate but never does. They're the only place in north america where having your vocal cords ripped out RAISES life expectancy, as then you won't get murdered for being english.

You say that like it's bad. Of course the Frenchies in Quebec have a different attitude towards drinking wine than they do towards smoking weed, as does any rational person.

Accepted as a norm in society, and completely ubiquitous, plus generally harmless in small doses..? Yes.

I never said anything about “natural”…

Try “legally accepted and enjoyed anywhere outside the Muslim world, and even historically within it”, instead… 🙄

There’s even a wine type named after an entire region of Iran (well, Persia), FFS…

I can’t, uhh, think of any towns named for marijuana, let alone cities/regions, can you..? 🤔

It’s not a question of “natural”. It’s a question of global cultural relevance, and global social acceptability.

All in all, wine fucking wins, lol.

You think if they were trying to stop people going out for liquor runs, they would say "you must have the vaxpass if you're not buying food" or "you must have the vaxpass if your alcohol purchase total is more than your food purchase".

It would still be fucking stupid, but then they could at least say they're trying to encourage "essential purchases" only.

There must be some ulterior motive.

The interesting thing is that withdrawal from alcohol is way more dangerous to the alcoholic than is withdrawal from far more dangerous drugs like heroin - which just cause severe discomfort but not a danger to your health.

puts on tinfoil

The globalists want national governments to cause as much pain to their people as possible while getting them all jabbed. When the damage of the jabs becomes undeniable, the narrative will shift against the national governments so that supranational organizations can justify their formal acquisition of power. The fact that the internationalist have already been managing national policy will be ignored in this great narrative.

That is a scary scenario.

But the good thing is that it's mostly anti-nationalist governments that have been imposing such restrictions. If anything, if this is a plot to make people hate their governments, there will be a turn towards nationalism.

WA is a weird one, though, because the government survives off a form of state-level nationalism, parochialism and being opposite to the rest of the country…

WA survives by having the separation it’s attitudes of Texas, cloaked in some sort of California-style “leftist” authoritarianism…

But McGowan isn’t a “leftist” per se. He’s just an authoritarian…

However what is important to note is that he’s not even from WA…

His family live in NSW. His “friends” (if he even has any left) from his uni days live in Brisbane… It’s all rhetoric.

But he’s an ex-military man, too, so again, all of this rhetoric fits.

It’s all fucking lies. But the people of WA lap it up, and clap like seals for more… 😑

The introduction of a mandatory digital currency. The WEF has already been saying that the Covid Trace & Track apps are going to be a digital foundation for digital wallets going into the future.

The idea is, in order to regulate the economy to it's maximum extent, your digital wallet is going to be linked to your digital phone. Your purchasing decisions will be regulated both by your social status, and geographic segregation so you don't purchase items in the wrong places. The digital currency allows of perpetual infinite inflation because all they do is add zeros and use the metric system to say how many "digibucks" you have. Your actions will earn you 'bucks back' so the government will literally deposit electronic payments to good citizens who do what their told. With the runaway hyperinflation, those direct deposits will be the only way you can keep your head above water. You'll see the money in your bank account stay the same, but prices will increase a couple of cents every single day. You will be nothing more than a husk, a living financial vehicle that transfers the bank's money from one account to another.

Imagine a world where you're entire life is contained solely on your phone and nothing else. You get money from each payment at your job, but every time you walk into the store, the price gets higher. You'll need to keep up with changing prices by getting stimulus and loyalty deposits for doing things that the government needs you to do: like going and getting a check-up, seeing the next theater show, or reading the New York Times for 20 minutes. It's two whole weeks until your next pay check, and the price of Apples went up .20 cents this week, but it's okay because you got 5 digibucks for reading up on the lastest information from the Washington Post, a reliable news source. You'll continue this process until the next year. Prices have gotten really high, but that's okay because the administration will automatically change over everyone's currency from digibucks to decibucks, which are worth ten digibucks. Praise be to Buttigeg. Next year, it will be Centibucks. In the end, you will own nothing, you will be nothing, you will have nothing, but you will be happy because you will be told you are. Just remember, your phone is precious and must survive you. Before you die, it is every citizen's final duty to go into the recycling tanks and be one with the people. You may pass off your phone to the government official who will transfer it to a new recipient and clear your data.

Your goal is to overcome the crass demands of flesh and bone, and extend your awareness outwards, past the self of body, and to embrace the self of group, and to the self of humanity. The goals of the group, and of the greater good, are what makes you transcendent. To embrace those goals, is to embrace enlightenment.

Or you can fight forever with the rest of us who will remain free.

Where have we seen similar... Hmm since 2008... Something something microtransactions... Something something ... Digital media click per minute.

It's literally that but on a global scale as basis for the west's version of a Social Credit score.

Instead of your behaviour and undying loyalty to the gov tho, it's purchasing behaviour and undying loyalty to a corpo.

totalitarian control over all communication and travel coerced through an app on your phone.

they start by shifting the vaccine mandate apps into social credit apps. any time you don't bend the knee, you get your basic "privileges" taken away.

any time you do anything they ban, you lose your green status for increasingly longer periods. and losing your green status is basically exile and banishment in your own home.

public transportation is not a right, so anyone not in green status will be banned from public transportation. this is already the case in many countries.

private transportation is not a right, so your license will be suspended if you're not in green status. canada already started this.

one of the country's apps was decompiled... if you're around someone not in green status, you will lose your green status, so it'll force social exile of those not in green status. can't drive a car, can't use public transit, can't ride with someone else. no travel without bending the knee.

australia and canada have already started to push attaching "misinformation" warnings to your green status. if you communicate with people not in green status, they're going to suspend your green status. even biden expressed support for it here in the US.

they keep adding more and more restrictions, so you can't do or say anything against the regime. anyone who does will be exiled in their own home.

I had no idea candy and booze were medicinal. Make sure to show your prescription. In fact, give the guy at the pharmacy counter a tip to show how sincere you are about keeping healthy.

Now to find a prescription for a better TV. It helps my eyes you know.

Well fuck mark even harder than before then. He's denying people access to healthcare (though the wa gov lied and said they werent), and now access to booze too. The wa hospitals are already swamped with 6+h ED waiting times, can't wait for the alchoholics who didn't have time to comply even if they were able to to flood the place.

They need to take a page from the BLM/Antifa thugs playbook and use Whatsapp, Signal or Telegram to organize raids.

Probably about as long as Ceaucescu or Milosevic “held out”, after the fall of the USSR… Perhaps.

This is worse than you think.

Keep in mind that during lockdowns alcohol shops have remained open as an "essential service" This seems dumb but it's a macabre reality that the government knows there are large amounts of alcoholics that would go into acute withdrawal and most likely die. There are enough of these people that it affected policy.

This is a "get jabbed or die" to those alcoholics. It's in the same ballpark as insulin and diabetics, but they just started with alco's because no-one cares about them.
