AUSTRALIA IS AT SERIOUS RISK OF DANGEROUS SOCIAL DIVISION - THREAD When I was young, I grew up thinking Australia was a country where hard work was valued. Where if you studied hard, got good grades, chose a good profession and worked hard, eventually you could earn a decent living for yourself. But that was all a lie. A fake dream sold by a generation who had already cashed in their chips. The values this country was built on have been destroyed by a fiat monetary system who's sole answer to everything is to print more money. They've been destroyed by a political class that engages with cronyism during the day and prays at the alter of the real estate industry at night. They've been destroyed by a media who lies to you everyday, about everything. The values this country was built on have been decimated. Obliterated. Stolen - by people who could have never built this country to its current state themselves; administrators who have never built a single thing of economic value in their lives. The country and the values I believed in as a child are dead. The distance between the politicians making decisions and the citizens impacted by those decisions is from here to Mars. Here are 2 examples that made by blood boil in the past week. 1. The Media's narrative about inflation The Australian media told you today that inflation has 'slowed'. Slowed? What? Yes, it's slowed alright. To 7%. Great news everyone! Did you get a raise last year? 7% or more? No? You just got robbed. How did they rob you? Whilst locking down the economy and closing small businesses during the pandemic, the government decided to print a bunch of money. This money flowed to asset holders - primarily those who own real estate and stocks. Don't own those? Congrats, you just got played. 2. The Government's Review into the RBA The government wants to replace the existing RBA 'experts' with other 'experts'. And it wants to change a few words in the RBA's mandate. Confused what all the fuss is about? The only reason you might be confused is if you haven't seen this playbook run before. It's the same playbook every large corporation runs to pretend they're doing something when shareholders are angry about a particular issue. The modern version of 'bread and circus' is 'media publication and review committee'. It doesn't matter how ridiculous the committee's recommendations are. No, no. What matters is that there WAS a committee. Do you get it yet? We live in a society where perception now wins out over reality every single time. As long as it kind of looks like you're doing something, that's good enough. So don't bother playing reality. Just play to the perception. The RBA review is a textbook maneuver designed to distract from rising discontent with the way the financial system is working (not working) for ordinary everyday Australians. In short, the game is rigged. And they want to keep it rigged whilst pretending they're doing something about it. Because it benefits them. And not you. They want to keep you poor, and they'll do everything to make sure you don't actually understand why life seems to be getting harder. Every Australian should be pissed off about this. The government YOU elect. The government YOU pay taxes to. The government that ONLY exists to serve YOU, IS NOT SERVING YOUR INTERESTS. Want another example? 650,000 migrants. That's how many people Albo wants to bring into this country over the next financial year, during the worst rental crisis on record. With no plans to increase housing supply to cope. What do you think is going to happen if things continue on the current path? Seriously. Spend 1 minute of your life thinking it through. You're going to have tent cities in Sydney within 2 years. You're going to have rising levels of crime. Rising levels of domestic violence. Increasing suicides. Familial instability. Horrible wealth inequality. Critical workers living 2 hours away because that's the only way they can afford to live here and still travel to work. Do you see it yet? This is bigger than just you, it's about what country you want your children to live in. And their children's children. Right now the government is stomping on your face, and you are letting them. It's time to tell them you're fed up. Fed up with their money printing. Fed up with inflation. Fed up with their immigration policy. Fed up with the lack of affordable housing. Fed up with their lies and utter incompetency. Make this go viral. Tell them to get fucked. Tell them we want our country back. The one where hard work is valued and ordinary every day Australians can not just survive, but thrive.
