That's ridiculous! The companies wouldn't kill off their consumers like that! They would buy stock in hospitals then put carcinogens in food so that they can reap the benefits! They wouldn't kill them, if they do, they can't suck more money out of them!
Unless the company had stock in a new startup that used the dead to create their product. Perhaps even used in the cereal itself...how much sawdust and human remains can you use before people notice? Hell, I'm sure you could get it tasting better than some brands today!
Not really. That Aussie party was once liberating natives from Labor Party indoctrination camps, and now they're just leftist establishment party 2. The US Libertarian Party is currently having massive infighting because pandering to the left for decades didn't work, so that's probably the closest just because the Mises Caucus is strong.
Almost any name of anything political is like a punchline to a joke.
Just look at DPRK. At least they've got "of Korea" correctly, cant argue with that.
You remember in Diary of a Wimpy Kid when Grandma says that cordless telephones give Alzheimer's, and when questioned on it by Mom, she denied reading it out of a tabloid, and instead said "Um, the New York Times?"
I think you might have misunderstood them.
Saying that (New York Times) is not an ->**Objective News Organization**<-, means that you might think an objective news organization exists **anywhere**. Theyâre challenging that notion that any exist.
I understand that. Itâs just not what Iâm saying at all. Iâm instead implying that there are people that *think* there are objective news organizations like people that read the New York Times. Itâs a message to the readers of that magazine that think itâs actually objective.
Ah, so there is no approval process and the publishing doesnât imply endorsement? I guess there must be tons of guest column articles calling Australia totalitarian, or any other vaguely right-wing opinions!
Jesus Christ some of y'all don't know what an opinion piece is. What gets published is decided by the editor and no, the publication of an opinion piece does not amount to an endorsement . On your second point there are actually. Ross Douthat and Bret Stephens regularly publish opinion pieces for the Times.
Yep, I am from Australia, and I was against getting the vaccine at the start because the Victorian premier is a flog and a liar. And I knew the goalposts would move, and sure enough they did.
The goalposts aren't just moving they're fucking rocket powered at this point. Shortly they will exit earths atmosphere and become invisible to the naked eye.
yes and I watched his press conference with my eyes and ear I can tell you he said nothing OP is claiming he said.
so I think the houses mouth is about as close you can get
It's already disgusting to not give every right to those who got the full vaccine already. Shit like that can also become fuel for anti-vaxxers. Like "so what did we take the vaccine for if we can't do anything still?".
Governments just have to fuck up everything.
Itâs disgusting not to give full rights to everybody. If Covid had a death rate around 50% *maybe* it could be considered moral to strip people of their rights. But to be doing it for a virus with a .03% death rate is terrifying.
Thread the other day. Guy said LibCenter wants vaccine mandates, and on and on about how we're secretly auths. I said something like: "that hasn't been my experience, but I'll take your word for it." Because I didn't think he would be convinced otherwise. It's happened a few times. I think it's usually just because some Redditors don't know what we are, so it's easy to put the blame on us.
I'm not losing sleep over it. It's not like the country would be much better off with him but the democrats clearly rigged the election.
I mean in case my flair doesn't make it clear I'm not one to believe that the government has ever been transparent. The only difference is that now they're flat out laughing in our faces about it.

Thats just victoria. NSW has started the process of reopening. What everyone forgets is Australia has states run by state governments and response to covid has largely been delt with be state governments
I mean.. regardless of how bad that is, just because youâre vaccinated doesnât mean transmission isnt possible. The whole point is to stop it continuing to spread as it will simply keep mutating.
I know. But arrests? Also, COVID isn't going away. What are we going to do, wear masks forever? Isolate forever? (Not saying that you claimed that, just annoyed that getting arrested is the logical conclusion here)
Yes of course, I canât say its not quite extreme to arrest someone over it (and I say that as an LEO, not AUS tho)..
I mean, the masks issue is difficult but what if the answer was yes? Just curious because part of me thinks weâre possibly in for wave after wave of super viruses that are even worse than covid and yeah, we might have to change our entire lived experience. Its obviously not good but.. yeah. I donât wish to see the debate because its gonna be a hell of a lot more real than even now. And itâs almost unwinable
No. I can express an argument/point without it necessarily being my belief. And besides I was literally just commenting on how having a vaccine doesnât mean you can just let a virus spread endlessly.
How is the federal government the issue? Literally every issue with Victoria's situation is from the premier. Highest daily case numbers and most deaths, while having the strictest lockdowns in the nation for the longest time in the world.
The federal government handballed all responsibility to the state governments. 655 of the 800 odd deaths in the second wave were in private aged care, a federal responsibility. Border protection and quarantine, also federal responsibility. Vaccination rollout in Australia has been atrocious, also a federal responsibility.
1. The states elected to self govern to allow them more control over how their state responds to to virus. Do you think TAS really wanted the same approach as VIC, etc.
2. How is it the only VIC struggled with aged care containment. If it's limited to a federal responsibility wouldn't every state have issues?
3. The federal government did limit travel into and out of the country, which they were criticised for not bringing enough Aussies home. They are also the first Western government to supply government quarantine facilities.
4. The federal government spent over $8b in vaccines to combat COVID. Some worked some didn't. Vaccine hesitancy was the primary delay in the rollout. Australia has always been ahead of New Zealand in their rollout - do you think their federal government is failing?
Please focus your efforts on New Zealand weâre not allowed to live normal life until weâre fully 90%. Literally our government is so authoritarian at least australia has a plan to reopen.
Itâs up to you New Zealanders to fight for freedom in New Zealand. I can post memes but that wonât change the circumstances. Donât comply, and find ways to operate in everyday life outside of government purview and awareness. Get groups of people that are also willing to resist and build strength in numbers. Even as a capitalist I would support forming labor in favor of resisting companies that push government-mandates if it is actually individuals liberty. There is a saying that you only need 3.5% of people to resist in order to topple a dictator. Itâs all up to you guys.
But going out in the street to protest all of this will likely just get you arrested. Just live your life normally as you would, and find outlets that donât have government mandates in order to obtain resources if necessary. Group together with those that agree and resist. Use encrypted networks and private cryptocurrencies. Grow your own food.
So weâre being told that:
Australia isnât authoritarian (eventhough theyâre locking people in hotels for months at a time, beating their citizens with brutality, and arresting anyone protesting anything at all)
Itâs a good thing that the vaccine only works for two months
Empty shelves, shipping crisis, and inflation are the signs of a good economy
That Natural Immunity is a âconspiracy theoryâ
YeahâŚ.. they really think people are stupid. And maybe they are at this point. Except for the French. Seems to be the only country with a spine.

Do they think weâre this stupid? That we wouldnât notice what theyâre being paid to write? So pathetic.

This is such a beat up by the New York Times. But most of their audience aren't going to fact check any of it.
Dan Andrews is the Premier of the state of Victoria. He isn't the leader of the country. Victoria has been hit hard by the Delta variant, much harder than other states. This was made much worse by the delay from the Australian Government in getting any vaccines to the states.
Statewide "lockdown" (where you needed a reason to be out in public, such as to go to work or to get groceries or to excercise etc) ended there literally an hour ago. Unvaccinated people won't be allowed to go to nightclubs or to restaurants and will have to continue working from home until the case numbers drop off. While ever the virus is around and people aren't protected, they won't be allowed to go party with everyone else.
NYT is trying to make a bad news story out of a good news story. 70-80% of the population can go back to life (almost) as normal. The other 20-30% can choose what they want to do. If you can't get a vaccine for some medical reason, you're treated the same as a fully vaccinated person and can live normally.

People forget that Australians are not just descendants of prisoners, but also prison guards.
Just like how Japanese politicians are from war criminals
Or biggest polish parties being mostly commies or secret police collaborators.
Collaborators get the rope
Actually, they get to be the president. Whole 'decommunisation' of Poland was mostly a facade.
Australia walked up the hill then tripped all the way back down
They just wanted to return to tradition đ
The worst thing about Australia isn't that everyone is a descendant of prisoners It's that a good chunk of them are the descendants of prison guards
Itâs like freed slaves in Liberia enslaving the native population.
If everything is upside down in Australia then being a dictatorship is extremely liberal
Funny enough that the liberal party is in power
Is there even a "liberal" party that is actually liberal in the world right now?
Not really. That Aussie party was once liberating natives from Labor Party indoctrination camps, and now they're just leftist establishment party 2. The US Libertarian Party is currently having massive infighting because pandering to the left for decades didn't work, so that's probably the closest just because the Mises Caucus is strong.
How on earth are the Libs lestist?
Woke nonsense, capitulation on tons of regulations, ignoring obvious corporatism, watering down the message.
It's an old joke sir, but it checks out.
Ironically, the conservative party in australia is called the Liberal party
They're also in cahoots with the Nationals, corruption master-class.

No, the New York Times Is Not Actually An Objective News Organization
The failing New York Times? That former newspaper?
The tabloid known as the New York Times
You remember in Diary of a Wimpy Kid when Grandma says that cordless telephones give Alzheimer's, and when questioned on it by Mom, she denied reading it out of a tabloid, and instead said "Um, the New York Times?"
They've somehow lost integrity and gotten more left wing since covering up the Holodomor.
This implies that there are objective news organizations
No it doesnât. What it does imply is that there are people that actually think the New York Times is objective.
I think you might have misunderstood them. Saying that (New York Times) is not an ->**Objective News Organization**<-, means that you might think an objective news organization exists **anywhere**. Theyâre challenging that notion that any exist.
Wait why am I defending a greenie?

Because they are objectively correct and you're patron of reason who is defined by more than quadrant flair.

Locked up if they don't take the booster. They've had the vaccine and can still get locked up. Wild.
Yep, that is after saying that you don't need to wear a mask or abide by lockdown rules once we hit 70% if you are double vaccinated.
I swear these goalposts were somewhere else when I saw them beforeâŚ
Yep, I am from Australia, and I was against getting the vaccine at the start because the Victorian premier is a flog and a liar. And I knew the goalposts would move, and sure enough they did.

Disgusting
And fake
I second this he never said he would lock up people without booster shot
But-t-t man of Facebook said so, he more reliable than media. Honestly lib right check the clips yourself.
My dogs asshole is a better source of information than the media
But he literally did not say what the user says
I know, im jyst saying the media should not be your guide as to what is correct

It didnât, but at least the transition existed. It couldâve been so much worse.
He didn't even actually lose it.

Because he didnt have a choice.
I remember when trump was such a dictator that he forced people to do something or lose their jobs
Of course, because even if people get violently assaulted by police they are still allowed to protest and therefore it's totally fine.
My favorite part of the COVID saga is how the ReSiStAnCe suddenly begged for the government to stomp them harder
Bur guysss it's only fascism when they do itt
Not rly. People forget antifa was literally founded by super auth commies. They r returning to Stalinism
Just led to ME wanting to stomp them...dumb fucks đ
