  8.  @joshaynes7853  I don't think it's a matter of being born in the ACT, I think it attracts certain people, I'm not meaning yourself ofcourse. Larrikinism does still exist. A few years ago Tasmania succeeded in eliminated the fox. Someone travelled to Victoria and gathered up some fox road kill and strategically put the corpses in places in Tasmania where they would be seen. The overwhelming number of people living in cities has been, I believe a result of mass immigration. The last census shows that half the population is a recent immigrant. And since the 1970s increasingly they come from over regulated collective societies. The massive immigration levels also increased urbanisation. The rural town I grew up in, is now to all intents and purposes Brisbane. There are four lanes of asphalt connecting it to the CBD, and it's all a concrete jungle of houses and unit complexes. The koalas, echidnas and reptiles that lived there are extinct in the wild. And my grandparents and parents, born in the first half of the twentieth century lived in a totally different period, totally divorced from Australia today. What is discribed as the nanny state seemed to unroll fully formed and seamlessly in the twenty-first century (perhaps much earlier in Canberra). I have traced it back however to Whitlem in 1973-5. I guess it took a while to get everywhere. Indeed that was the introduction of 18C restricting speech literally about any social policy. Nobody took it seriously in the twentieth century, but it grew teeth afterwards. However it has been the last few years that broke my heart and led me to lose faith in my fellow Australians. I conscientiously objected to the vax, on the grounds that it was a human rights abuse. The vast majority complied, and some even turned on those who did not. On the other hand many protested, quite bravely, often in the face of police brutality. I'm in my early fifties and I've watched my country die in my lifetime. There is (and has not been) a democratic solution. The political parties have the same policies, especially around global interests like immigration, climate policies, globalisation etc, that voting does nothing but change the rhetoric. And what is a democratic vote when you have been demographically replaced ?

  9.  @joshaynes7853  I believe Australia is a fascist state. When governments choose who will be winners and losers they invest appropriately. If for example they decide that the jab will be compulsory in order to work and earn a living, investing in Pfizer is a safe investment. When politicians with large housing portfolios realise the value of housing is going down as interest rates rise, they propose importing 600,000 migrants to prop up housing values. In a period when decent Australian families whose parents are working are sleeping in cars, or a single room like in a Dickens novel. It goes deeper. From what I can tell, long before I was born, certainly before modern feminism, a working man paying tax, could claim a housekeeper allowance for a wife who did not work. The wife could choose to receive it weekly or annually. Whitlam introduced welfare for single mothers. Which was social manipulation against families. Single mothers have always existed in Australia. They got jobs and raised their kid. And basically made the best of it. I knew several from the early twentieth century as a child. Most later married and had more children. The introduction of welfare for single mothers, meant that if a woman fell pregnant to a poorly paid man, she was better off being a single mum. As a teen I used to babysit for a couple who made a lot of money providing a dead mailing address for the defacto husbands of single mothers. Feminists always promised to pay housewives a decent income but they threw traditional wives under the bus. But circa 1987 Bob Hawke promised to fix it by paying married mothers to care for their own children. But unlike receiving your husband's tax deduction this was not linked to inflation and withered to nothing. And what government gives, as opposed to what government does not take, government can take. Now it's a miserable pittance. And feminists demand free childcare. As do politicians.Paying mother to raise kids is nolonger profitable. Only last night I heard a politician confess that he had financial interests in daycare centres. When governments and corporations are in bed with each other, what other term but fascism?
