It seems this one’s really got you rattled, mhaze.

//Statistics are a foreign language … Quick JD, leap to the defence …//

Insults and bait aren’t arguments. They don’t change the fact that you’ve avoided showing any actual authoritarian central planning happening now.

//Not a new concept … just the way you misuse and misunderstand it.//

And yet, still no examples. Convenient. Do you actually understand what an implication is?

//There is no proof of a prophecy … unfathomable to me …//

Exactly, prophecy can’t be proven. That’s the issue: instead of evidence of authoritarian drift today, you’re hiding behind predictions that “by 2035 it’ll all be obvious.”

//I never made that claim … although you might say it was implied …//

You and ttbn have both argued that government, unions, and big business are centralising power and capturing markets. That’s not even an implication—that’s a direct claim of authoritarian drift.

If you didn’t mean that, then you’ve been arguing against nothing this whole time.

Trumpster,

About a half a million Americans have been thrown on the unemployment scrap heap in the past 3 months, something you can't deny. So much for Dirty Donald's claim of Making Americans Great Again, add that half a million to the 7 million already on the heap! As for your claim about "own admission" is BS, its The Donald who is making that claim, no one else. From now on The Donald will announce the numbers personally!

Donald speak; "Unemployment is at zero percent, same as last month, a beautiful number, yah just beautiful, unbelievable, when Biden left office unemployment was at 150%, a disaster, he employed all them Mexican criminals, we stopped that, we've got that down to zero. There was a guy in Tallahassee, who didn't have a job, don't think he wanted to work, but we found him a job at Mar-a-Lago. That guy rings me every day, to say how happy he's working after Biden sacked him, just beautiful!... "I don't know this Epstein guy, never met him, you guys should asking Obama about his drug addiction, terrible, its just terrible, on drugs no job, what he's a terrible loser, and you don't ask why!"

Thinking that what happens in the US or anywhere else in the world excuses what is being done to our country by the Albanese government only emphasises the ignorant stupidity of certain posters, and the general stupidity of the majority of Australians who just vote for the crooks who give them the most free stuff: the stuff that will disappear in the not too distant future.

What the hell is Peronisation ?
Can't find any reference to that anywhere !

You're not alone, Indyvidual.

//What the hell is Peronisation ?//

I asked the same thing and got nothing but slogans in return.

“Peronisation” isn’t an established economic or political term, it’s just a dramatic label ttbn borrowed from a recent op-ed to make it sound like Australia is sliding into some Argentine-style collapse.

When pressed for specifics - how we’re supposedly becoming authoritarian, centrally planned, or “Peronist” - no evidence showed up.

Just predictions that maybe by 2035 it’ll all make sense.

If you don't know about President Peron and Argentina, you need to start doing some reading.
