I get ending the mandates too and telling the governments to piss off to some degree. But holy shit these guys aren't even trying. Hell, what is that meme pic even going to do in the long run other than serve as a shitty Silence of the Lambs reference?
Fuck it, give them an ultimatum: You can get a transplant without being fully immunized but you're defaulted to being an organ donor. It won't be the organ they put in but they'll get a few back.
Chad reminds me of Frank from Shameless. He’s got zero accountability and expects everyone to just bend to him so he can keep living his shitty lifestyle even though it’s killing him. Big differences are Frank got the transplant and everyone knows he’s a worthless grifter.
What's with these people acting like assholes being self righteous and calling people idiots who are "hypnotized by fear" with the usual same talking points about tyranny.

At least the pro-vax side has the excuse that they tend to sound the same because the stuff they are saying is usually (not always) backed by empirical evidence and obvious to any reasonable, somewhat intelligent person. And they don't try to cosplay as brave anti-establishment free-thinking freedom fighters. Anti-vaxers don't have any of that and wouldn't be smart enough to come up with anti-vax points even if there was evidence supporting them, so they just parrot whatever some anti-vax grifter said on Facebook.

You ever hear George Lucas's statement on the Star Wars Holiday Special? That'd if he had the time and a sledgehammer, he'd hunt down every copy and destroy them? That's starting to be my opinion on The Joker/The Dark Knight.

The antivaxer is immunized against all dangers: one may call him a Qtard, hypocrite, retard, lunatic, it all runs off him like water off a raincoat. But call him a manlet and you will be astonished at how he recoils, how injured he is, how he suddenly shrinks back: "I’ve been found out."
So it’s time for another update. And this one will be a three parter. I do apologise but I am gonna start with the politics portion, because of how batshit that is. But also I think based on the trajectory of this thing, it’s going to influence future events. So that’ll be part 1. But there’s just a lot of other kino content around right now, and stuff I haven’t posted yet. So that’ll comprise part 2 and 3, and be more like just a general look at certain aspects of the convoy, and how it’s going.
PART ONE: The Monday Recap; Ft. A Dose of Schizo
So unlike the United States, there appears to be some effort on the part of Canberra’s more SovCit-y politicians to cash in on the support and grab some votes. Specifically, two parties have gotten going with that. And that is Pauline Hansen’s One Nation, and the United Australia Party (UAP). But we’ll get to them later. First we have a game of capture the flag.
So this morning first thing, a large proponent of the convoy decided to set off to Government House. The residence and offices of the Governor General, technically the most powerful man in the country. As he holds the power to potentially fire the government. So off they went. Proceeding to get to the gate, and yell at his security detail about pedophilic, cybernetic dogs.
For whatever reason the AFP actually let them in. And the convoy members proceeded to take the flags flown in the official garden of the complex, and then proceeded to fly upside down Australian flags, and stage a sit-in.
Now, I don’t know who gave the order, but the AFP detail was then ordered into the hostile crowd as to take down the flags, and hang their own. By this footage, they seemed to be about halfway successful before retreating.
I couldn’t upload it all, but Queensland senator, and actual Sovereign Citizen Malcolm Roberts spoke earlier today to the convoy goers on the lawn of parliament. Deciding for whatever reason, to use the opportunity to spruik the One Nation water policy for the Murray Darling Basin.
Of course this hasn’t gone down all too well, with some of the convoy goers mad that they’d even dare get any of the reprobate scum sitting in parliament to negotiate with. And them booing him for his impotence.
This actually ended up with Roberts now on stage with some weirdo spruiking anti-semetic conspiracies. And Roberts impotently trying to take the mic, probably in an attempt to distance himself.
Meanwhile, Craig Kelly, the only MP of the UAP as he defected to it halfway through his term like a bitchmade faggot, has decided to help out with supplies for the convoy. As well as presenting a letter written by the convoy’s members to the Prime Minister, Opposition Leader and Speaker. Kelly was a member of the government, but infamously split because he couldn’t keep his piehole shut re vaccines.
Now the reason Kelly might actually have some bang for his buck, is the UAP itself is pretty much the political arm of Clive Palmer. A mining billionaire whose been trying to become a political kingmaker (and in fact was for one term, and one election), whose chasing the angry conspiracy theorist vote.
I know this was rather dry, but it’s an important development. Because it legitimizes these weirdos, when they really shouldn’t be. But it’ll be interesting how that plays out tomorrow and the next week.
PART TWO: A Lil Bit of Tomfoolery
Now, bit of a powerlevel, I found out about the convoy from a Facebook group I’m apart of which does what this very group does. Take screengrabs of weird Australian schizophrenics takes on political pages and have a right giggle at them. Now unlike the Farms, which rightly mocks autists who decide to prod the bear, this group didn’t heed that. And has of course made dozens of alts to mess with the group. Here’s a collection of some of their best hits.
CONTEXT ON THIS ONE: If they took this route, it would no joking, add another two hours to their trip.
The issue has become so prevalent, one SovCit named Kelly has taken it on himself to begin a “troll hunters group” only for it to immediately be flooded with the same trolls he’s trying tor root out. And then proceeding to accuse other members as trolls themselves. Fresh with a bounty of a fuel gift card if you get members into it. It honestly almost feels like the second half of 'Tails Gets Trolled' reading some of these.
Although one of them seemed to find the origin:
PARTY THREE: Canberra Under Occupation
Canberra is a landlocked city which sits in the Australian hinterland, literally built from the ground up after the seven British colonies which made up the Australian continent, federated in 1901. Because it’s an artificial construct, in the middle of New South Wales, it’s population is also artificial. The city was constructed only to service the function the governance of a continent, and as such has a population comprised of politicians, civil servants, national security spooks and soldiers. And of course the population which service this small elite. As such, it should be no surprise that the city is about 93% vaccinated (archive). Meaning the population isn’t exactly amenable to their presence, and has grown frustrated with them.
Now this has manifested in a couple of ways. First and foremost is that they’ve been refused service from certain places. Sunday night, a couple of the anti-vaxxers went to O’Malley’s, one of the larger establishments in Canberra and attempted to get on the bevvies having already caused traffic delays for hours. Of course, the management staff of O’Malley’s wasn’t having a bar of these maskless plague rats. And told them to fuck off. The convoy Facebook group was not amused.
And they did what they did to Young All State Towing. They review bombed them. Only to be equally as review boosted by locals wanting to support their local pub. It was so big, that the Canberra masthead, the Canberra Times covered it.
As the convoy members have become settled in at the EPIC camp ground, the need for supplies has also grown rapidly. Some have taken to local Canberra message boards, asking for supplies. And being laugh reacted.
While those who go out for supplies in person are just making sicks of themselves. A splinter group called “Solidarity” entered Canberra’s largest shopping centre and when they were refused service proceeded to berate and yell at minimum wage service staff who aren’t having a bar of it.
Then there’s just general vandalism with a few group members finding their cars smeared with tuna fish in the hot summer sun.
And finally, to leave you off, I present this unmitigated based content. Of just a man, telling a prick waving a camera in his face, exactly what he, and many others think.

Also the same people who say stuff like "EQUALITY IS A FALSE GOD," but then insist that I listen to their high school dropout opinion on COVID and vaccines instead of that of high-IQ upper middle class doctors.
This is true, but they will just respond that those drugs aren't patented and so aren't a big win to pharma in terms of power and money. You can go much simpler. Big Pharma as a whole wants you to get severely sick from COVID, because being hospitalized with COVID costs far more than getting the vaccine. Even with their price gouging, the vaccine regimen costs the government less than $100 per person. COVID hospitalization costs into the tens of thousands of dollars per person, and the after insurance cost is still much higher than $100 (or the after-insurance vaccine cost of "free").

the machinery use for a ventilator is 6k/day
for ECMO it's 10k+
without the doctor's fees, blood products, labs, medication, charting, and room costs.
omicron takes longer to kill the ones it'll kill. 2 or 3 months at those rates before they're dead. Delta was at least a little less cash in pocket for the pharma and hospital C-suite.
the vaccine? they get paid a small flat fee for each dose, and can't raise that price.
Edit: kidney failure from "home cures" is a big winner too. Dialysis is Big Business. the home cures are all produced by the same companies, they prefer people take them, it's why they haven't been taking any legal action about off-label usage.

Why would they think pharma needs all this eleborate scheme to make all this money? Yeah I get companies always are out to make more money but to call the entire lot a scam? They are aware that there's a whole world of people who need meds on the regular... Right?
