I don’t know how I became so… “Blackpilled”. Where exactly my “skepticism” came from…
I’ve had a fucking tough life, and I’ve seen the dark side of “compliance culture”, and the medico-industrial industry. Or maybe I just have a natural “aversion to authority”, and bullshit rules, after being abused and bullied all my life. Who fucking knows? But regardless I am very much the only one in my entire extended family who questions this shit…
Tonight, I was forced into an extended family dinner, mostly to see my cousin, who has been living in the US (LA, now NYC), for years, and who I haven’t seen since 2016 or so… And also an uncle who I haven’t seen in some years.
Anyway, so the restaurant insists that you wear a mask, walking in, until you sit down… Utterly absurd, and even my v compliant father called it out.
Then comes dinner. Uncle (not the one who I haven’t seen in years) has brought his new “partner” along…
She is… Horrible. Going on about how “horrible” (poor) tenants are, and how they “abuse” her daughter, who works in property management, and refuses to fix their leaking apartments, in the shit part of town…
This is alarming enough. But then she somehow asks about my “vaccination status”. I say the truth, that I have had one dose. She goes absolutely off her tits… Calls me “dangerous”, and “immature”. “Irresponsible”, “cruel” and “stupid”. Tells me I am literally killing people in nursing homes…
I finally fucking exploded. This woman doesn’t know me. She has absolutely no right to give me an earful. Yet she escalates and escalates, and at one point I honestly thought she would fucking physically assault me, at the table…
I’m utterly disgusted by this. And so I fucking stand my ground. But then the rest of my family turns on me. She makes it about her. “Oh woe is me!” Literally said, “I’m not judging you, though you ARE irresponsible, but you’d better not be judging me for being TRIPLE VACCINATED!”
I literally didn’t bring it up once. Yet SHE was the “victim”. Fucking unbelievable… 🙄
It’s funny because after all that, each family member (minus me) went out of their way to “out-woke” each other, and to virtue signal about how “awful” Australian history is, and how “we aren’t taught about how bad it all is”, lol…
I just rolled my eyes, and largely kept my mouth shut. Then I went to the toilet, and when I came out, they had all left the building, and only my cousin stayed behind to let me know where they went…
Fun times. 🤷🏻♂️
Literally unironically yes. If the ABC claimed it was “necessary”, my parents, and at least one uncle who was present (partner of Karen) would support that, no joke… 😑
I think we had to watch that, too, at a similar age… I honestly zonked that whole section of curriculum (I don’t think my school had to obey the national curriculum, at least at that point), but I do remember that much, too…
I don’t think I felt guilty, after it, either. More just horribly sad, lol.
My mother, incidentally, is retraining to be a teacher, as her mid life crisis… As part of the teaching unit, she brought home some of the woke “localized” materials they are expected to teach…
It was… Frankly alarming.
Odd how they focus on only the sob stories, and completely ignore the good stories of “positive interactions” and/or “cultural preservation”…
Funny that. 🤔
What did Howard say? A “black armband” view of history? That’s my family to a fucking tee. Peter Garrett-listening, latte-sipping, ABC and SBS-viewing, China-loving, immigrant-worshipping morons.
Not that all those things are necessarily bad, but you get the idea, in combination, lol…
We're controlled by sydney and melbourne. The southern hemisphere mecas of hipster and karenism.
^^This.
If you get out of the cities, there might, might be a bit of that left, but in the state capitals (where this was, but not Mel or Syd) - yeah, it really is hipster shithole + Karen central territory, lol…
Canberra has too much influence too, IMHO…
It’s even more “hipster” and “woke” than Melbourne, for the most part, because the very worst Mel wankers move to Canberra, and get cushy public service jobs there, for the most part… 😑
Unfortunately I think that has been a myth for quite some time... At least in the cities. We're really, really not like that anymore, and I suspect we haven't been since before I was born, lol...
Unfortunately, these days, Aus pretty much makes "rugged individualism" illegal, lol. You really can't even go off into the bush and just... Disappear, even. The state won't let you, lol. Unless you own a massive property yourself, and don't tell someone who will dob you in, maybe. But really, much like New Zealand... Freedoms and individual... Ability to live as you wish, let's say, are few and far between...
Unless you're a woke degenerate, or the parent of a "child drag queen" (yes, really), in which case, Australian society will not only support you, but actively promote your "lifestyle", these days, lol...
Sad fucking times. :-/
