The Australian totalitarian megathread - She won't be right mate.

[Banana Cat]

Working class pajeets are very different from the computer janitor/substandard engineering degree pajeet class in my experience. Not surprised to hear it.

Even some of those pajeets go alright over here, they love to smoke cigs, get on the beers and watch the cricket, some fit in pretty fucking well

 

[Michael Janke]

I can't believe these people are locking down an entire country, causing unknown amount of psychological harm to all people and especially children over 938 deaths out of 25 million people

wouldnt this be over if they adopt the fuck off were full mentality. they could lock down for a month and end the virus. then keep the fuck off mentaality to "prevent future outbreaks" then have every checked on the way back into the country.

Alternatively they ( and the rest of the world ) could just go back to the way things were 2 years ago where we accepted the fact that the very old and the very sick sometimes die.

 

[Clockwork_PurBle]

I don't find this shocking at all, considering most of them gave up their guns to the government 30 years ago.

It's not that hard to get a gun in Australia. You fill in some paperwork, do a bullshit 'firearms safety course', that a literal moronical retard could pass, pay a small fee and you're good to go. The cops have to issue you a gun license unless you're a violent criminal and even then there are examples of actual gang members being knocked back and successfully appealing to get their license. There definitely are restrictions on what you can own, no semi auto rifles, but that's about it. There are more guns in Australia now than before the buy back and there are plenty of old timers who have interesting ordinance lying around that they unfortunately lost in boating accidents before the semi auto ban. In theory the cops can come to your house to do a surprise inspection to make sure you're storing them properly but I don't know a single person that's happened to and I know a lot of gun owners. All up I'd say it's a lot easier to buy and own firearms in Australia than in most big cities in the US.

It's got nothing to do with Covid, they've decided that this is too good an opportunity to get in the changes they've wanted for a long, long time. Give you an example. To get the Covid vaccination certificate, that you'll need to put the Covid passport on your phone, you have to log in to your MyGov account, an electronic clearing house that allows you to interact with government services, and link your medical records to it. When they brought in electronic medical records a few years ago there was a massive stink as people were rightly worried about privacy, especially corporations gaining access to them. The government was forced to make having them optional, I for one chose to opt out. Now, even if you have been vaccinated, you are forced to agree to them or you won't enjoy the 'privilege' of doing things like walking into a store, going to the football or traveling to see your relatives interstate. They could offer a paper version, put security markers on it and it'd be more secure than the easily hackable app they're pushing, but that wouldn't allow the big insurance companies free reign to mine your data.

 

[Sanshain]

if this is true then there's pretty much no way to make any kind of worthwhile comparison between AUS and US data then. I know that the US has been using 35 to 40 CT for unvaxxed people since the beginning, which means that god knows how many nothing burgers were counted as "cases." then when the shots came out, they started testing the vaxxed at only 28 CT. I have even seen some studies using as low as 17 CT. so basically the CDC is openly cooking the numbers to get politically favorable data.

the test is looking for a reaction with viral RNA, not active virus. so getting a "positive" off of some leftover RNA fragments is simply a matter of turning the cycles up high enough.

This is all absolutely great info that I'm definitely going to save. Do you have any sources or articles regarding PCR tests that I can save as well, to back this information up?

 

[No. 7 cat]

Red China is freer. Some restrictions (dictatorship internal passport stuff not COVID crap) but the Chinese don't care, well nothing compared to prison island. It is mad. Fauci and the Branch COVIDian gimps are likely creaming themselves at the thought of all those restrictions.

 

[MarvinTheParanoidAndroid]

Australians are weak lemmings who get what they deserve.

 

[Gimmick Account]

Red China is freer.

Unironically yeah. I also lived in China for a few years and really noticed it.
Feels like fucking everything was illegal in Australia even before this shit, like if you want to do something you start from the position that it's probably illegal and have to look up whether it's permitted. Shitty, stifling atmosphere. You can walk from one side of a town to the other in the middle of the day and not see another human; Australia is like Silent Hill without the mist.

In contrast do whatever the fuck you want in China, nobody gives a shit. There's someone selling liquor, fireworks, airsoft and cigars literally every thirty feet and they even provide kiddie chairs right there on the pavement to have your party on the spot because it's not illegal to fucking exist there.

Meanwhile the one thing they don't like is political dissidents (and naturally whatever the Australian sense of superiority can cling to is the MOST IMPORTANT thing), only now Australia is sending counter-terrorism squads to drag comedian journalists out of their houses so I'm not sure where the moral high ground is meant to be

 

[MarvinTheParanoidAndroid]

Surely they know nobody will vote for them anymore.

You think voting will matter to despotic tyrants.

How embarrassing.

Enjoy your sham elections, retards. You're Venezuela now.

There is no "moral high ground", there are only the powerful & the powerless, your credulous belief that everyone is ultimately good deep down inside despite whatever bad they do on the surface is a lie. There exist people who are malicious just because, there exist people incapable of pity, & they view your sense of morality as a weakness to leverage you into obedience until it's no longer necessary to exploit it because something more substantial, such as force and authority, has been acquired. They are not misguided, they are not unaware of the impact of their actions, they know what they're doing & they are despots. They do not give a shit about morals.

 

[ChefKiss]

Doubleposting but fuck it I'm drunk I won't do what you tell me.

What I really want to know about this whole fucking mess is why. Surely Australian politicians know they've absolutely fucked public trust in the gub'mint. Surely they know nobody will vote for them anymore. Why the fuck do they keep on and keep on doubling down like this? It's completely retarded on every level. Not even fucking China held on this hard and fast to lockdown mandates. What's this all in aid of? What do they hope to gain from it? Who is the man behind the curtain?

You will have the most secure election ever, they will find the votes the need under a desk and anyone who questions it will be arrested

The only thing forbidden in China I presume then calling the CCP or Xi the pooh as pieces of shit will get you in jail directly?

 

[Gimmick Account]

The only thing forbidden in China I presume then calling the CCP or Xi the pooh as pieces of shit will get you in jail directly?

Yeah, pretty much. I respect the fact that it's a short list that they're completely open about and you know exactly where you stand. Unlike Western nations where we pretend freedoms exist but hack a journalist's car so they die in traffic when they exercise them, or fuck with people though Zersetzung, or plant kiddie porn on Null's computer then raid his house (2022).
Chinese people have told me they have a pretty clear idea of what's "really" illegal and what's just "illegal" which is most stuff on the books. Like porn, it's meant to be out but you're never more than a block from some guy selling DVDs from his bike who's in his regular spot every day and nobody cares. Most stuff actually only applies to Party members while regular people are chill, which is interesting coming from a culture where being a politician means no rules apply to you. But they're the corrupt ones, right

your credulous belief that everyone is ultimately good deep down inside

lol what

 

[Banana Cat]

Restrictions to be slightly eased in NSW but only for the vaccinated, announcement to be coming soon

Reddit is of course absolutely losing their minds over this

 

[A Warm Cup of Covfefe]

I personally love following Aussie COVID news when I feel depressed about my blue state's handling of COVID.

 

[Ughubughughughughughghlug]

Not any different than laws that US states could enact themselves. (As long as they don't violate Constitutional rights, the states are fair game to make any laws they wish, not that they "should", but they can).

Also these laws weren't signed "dictatorially" even if the people find them to be intrusive - too often people just use terms like "dictatorship/tyranny/totalitarian" for "anything they don't like".

There’s nothing contradictory between being totalitarian and being democratic.

Can confirm.
I live in regional Victoria, and work in Construction, so the lockdown has barely affected me, but people are getting pissed...
My biggest worry now is that some retard will take a shot at Dictator Dan and we'll lose the gun rights we have.

Interestingly, that’s exactly how it was in 1984 (which of course was based on Stalinism). The Inner Party ruled and so was free to do whatever. The Proles were beneath notice and were free to do whatever as long as not openly rebelling. The Outer Party (middle class) was who actually was suppressed.

Don't worry Dictator Dan will fuck himself up falling down another flight of stairs before some retard takes a shot on him. Then again lockdown is probably fucking up the bikies ice empire maybe they might take a hit out.

 

[Frostnipped Todger]

Rumour has it that one of the big guys in the construction industry helped him down those stairs... The timing lines up to when the lockdowns started affecting the industry at least.
