Oh welll..move along!

In the heart of Sydney, we have a cacophony of frogs such that the neighbours comment. No one is boiling them and they are increasing in numbers and volume. They are as free as the humans who cohabit this great. country. They are of a variety called “stuttering” frogs, like some of the humans who share this great country.

The author states:
"In truth, feudalism is the norm and the last 75 years were an aberration, built on the backs of greater people who fought to throw off the shackles of peasantry."

To a large extent it was unionism and luck that dragged Australians out of peasantry.

But just like so many other structures that tended to benefit the many over the few they were progressively dismantled.

Unions were labelled as anti-progress and anti-business and needed to be shut down and those who benefitted from those very unions went along with it.

Strikes were banned and the majority saw this as a progress.

Government owned airlines, banks, electricity boards, telecommunications, roads and transportation hubs were sold off.

The line fed to the public was that private enterprise could do it so much better and the savings would be passed onto consumers.

What could go wrong?

Cooperatives were seen as interfering with the "free market" and there was no shortage of corporations willing to snap them up - you guessed it - so that the benefits could be passed onto consumers.

I think many Australians consider themselves to be "billionaires in waiting" and any legislation that interferes with the profits of the few is seen an attack on them.

A sovereign wealth fund for the many? Not for us.

Negative gearing and tax credits that benefit the few? Bring it on.

It has been the constant and incessant undermining of the institutions that support "the many" from the overwhelming predominant right wing media that is putting the shackles back on the many.

This is a piece of ignorant risible rubbish.

For starters, compared to a flu for the majority, four times worse than a seasonal flu that saw our hospitals overwhelmed with sick folk, many kept alive with oxygen, some on respirators.

Donald Trump claimed like the ignorant author, that this was pretty harmless, until he got it and got very sick, had he not been President, would have not had access to the best medical care in America and probably been killed by this killer virus.

People who did not get sick but carried the virus, thought they should have been allowed to roam freely at will affecting all they came in touch with. Perhaps killing a dozen or so?

Because this virus needs a host and 15 seconds to spread!

As for face masks, the irrefutable evidence is, they reduced the spread by as much as 85%!

At the end of the day, I for one was pleased with the government's response and the curfews, lockdowns, restricted movements.

W.A. Locked down its borders and for months was covid free! And proves my analysis entirely.

If only other governments had followed suit. We could have kept it in NSW. I get that the "author" doesn't give a shite about other folk, and that's UNAUSTRALIAN!

Go back to where you came from and take your complete lack of NORMAL HUMAN EMPATHY with you! You don't belong in my Australia!

Cowardice has developed over generations, often through social media, virtue-signalling and conforming to moral fads of the day. A collective education system that teaches rights of the majority instead of the rights of individuals, producing hyper-conformists. Blind obedience and a pathological need to follow rules. Most people believe that to be a good person is to be a compliant person - adhering to those in power and celebratory ideas and culture. There is an overwhelming tendency to towards conformity in Australia. We get more like Communist China ever day.
