Political parties present themselves as some benevolent, semi voluntary organisation of men and women of good will.
They are not.
Political parties are corporations.
Just like McDonalds. Starbucks. Nike.
They exist to make their ‘executives’ (politicians) wealthy.
It’s emblematic of the times.
The Aussie team bent over backwards to accommodate that Pakistani whinger - and they are doing it again.
Why should Pat have to address ANY of this?
What, so Khawinger can sell more books.
We are being held to ransom by foreigners.
Vic Labor at 18% support - it’s too high.
I’m expecting under 10%.
If only frontline public servants knew that they will lose their jobs after the election.
This post and thread highlights the likely future.
One is a highly politicized, conflict zone that is intense and likely violent.
Another is the “opt out” position and following your own path and passion.
They aren’t mutually exclusive.
The world is about to change in a fundamental way over the next several years, and almost no one is prepared for it. The change will be positive.
I would not spend energy trying to start a business or hustle my way out of some imagined “permanent underclass.” That framing is already obsolete.
Every economic system we have lived under has been organized around scarcity. As scarcity recedes, the entire logic of value creation, status, and reward will shift with it.
Effort spent capturing value inside the old system will, in retrospect, look a lot like building sandcastles while a tsunami gathers on the horizon.
What I would focus on instead is simply relaxing and enjoying yourself. Become more well-read, more creative, more socially capable, and above all, more fun to be around. Develop your physicality in ways that feel good. None of these are mutually exclusive; they reinforce each other.
The people who thrive in an age of abundance will be the ones who are interesting, healthy, and good company, not the ones who optimized hardest for a system that no longer exists.
Most people still have not internalized what generally intelligent robotics will actually do: expand productive capacity and economic throughput by 10 to 100 times.
The second- and third-order effects of that kind of abundance will rewrite the rules of work, status, and human purpose far more thoroughly than almost anyone expects.
White replacement is happening … under the supervision of parliament.
They WANT to replace us.
They DON’T WANT people to notice or to talk about it.
Why?
Are we that bad?
🚨BREAKING🚨
Reform's Joe Martin has been BANNED from speaking in the Senedd for comments in which he referred to the "demographic replacement of white British people taking place in the UK".
Presiding Officer Huw Irranca-Davies ruled Martin must apologise, otherwise he will not be called to speak.
Watch Martin's comments, and Irranca-Davies' ruling, below.
Hughesy gets criticized for seeing the light. But it’s simply objective reality.
The Australian Labor Party is a rogue corporation using the country of Australia to enrich itself, at the expense of us all.
It’s not right.
@wattle1854 I had one demand I pay him cash up front and he said it would be cheaper than running the meter.
These people are absolute shitheads.
I repotted him to the taxi company.
They said they would do something - I doubt it
And what do you call people who steal $15 billion from taxpayers, puts the state in $200 billion debt, and sees a massive blowout in crime and division.
You don't like ideology. I don't like ACTUAL criminals.
Dear people of Victoria. Please do not vote for Pauline Hanson’s One Nation candidates. Her political base comprises white supremacists, neo-Nazis, antisemites, racist dog whistlers, Islamophobes. She is now trying to be all things to all people. In power she will broker uncontrolling guns, work choices2.0, horror cuts to services. https://t.co/uufBhKooFy
