At least in the end, he leaned left

You trying to get the man killed?!

No you’re not mate, by being obtuse you only prove the point. You can be arrogant, you can be ignorant, but when you are both you achieve a truly profound level of stupid.

So you’re an AI shill, interesting. Have you ever considered you may not be very smart?

Two political groups dominate the Australian political spectrum, forming a de facto two-party system. Only the ALP or LNP have ever held power. In addition, they’re near identical in belief leaving little choice for voters.

Why’s that, mate?

Why Norway instead of Alaska or Saudi Arabia? We could afford universal basic income for all Aussies easily if we nationalised our raw resources. What balance are you trying to strike here? Worried we’ll run out of oligarchs or smth?

Wait, wtf is this article SBS?? Why TF is the suggestion to tax older Aussies instead of making the corpos actually pay their fair share. Holy shit liberals will literally throw our older Aussies in the fucking bin before they consider implementing progressive taxation. Ffs, if Australia nationalised our mining sector, Aussies would be the richest citizens on earth! But nah fuck all that hey, better to just squeeze and squeeze and squeeze till the only option left is extreme violence.

Most hinged thing you’ve posted in a while tbh

Pearl clutching as a Zionist? You’d be cooler as a tankie tbh… Would you like a reading list?

Arguably, all parties within a liberal democracy are liberal in ideology. Republicans are just the right wing of that liberal system, Dems are to the left of the repubs but both still liberal. In Australia the leading conservative party is quite literally called The Liberal Party.

Australia loves empowering the black market. These age verification efforts will lead to a proliferation of CSAM and be as useful as the various other bans Labor has implemented. Shit, this might make porn MORE accessible to minors seeing as the social media ban already got teens used to using VPNs or otherwise tricking verification. The vape/tobacco ban only made vapes and tobacco cheaper and more accessible, the same effect will happen with porn and csam.

Cheers for linking resources, I really appreciate when people take the time to do that. I don’t inherently disagree with you but also my comment is very incomplete. I wanted to share my controversial opinion, not defend it dammit! Hahah

I won’t be alive by then, so no dramas!

Stop avoiding your homework OP, read the damn theory!

Fucking shocker, how much worse will it get before the gov finally just solves the issue. It’s not like it’s a mystery on how to do it, pretty fucking straight forward tbh. Oh well, till then the middle will be squeezed until they’re no better off than the rest of the working class. Welcome, my middle class friends, to the bottom of the heap.

That’s mainly my position, that if there is a minimum age, then there should also be a maximum age. I think retirement is a good benchmark for that cap.

Aight I got one, I believe the elderly are less valid than the young and should have a lot of their privileges taken away. No voting once you hit retirement, no more driving, they should be entirely at the mercy of public infrastructure and if it’s not good enough for them then too bad. They had their entire life to build a better future and look where we are now. The senior vote has practically enabled fascism and they deserve more hatred for the way they think and behave. Especially since they are dependent on the young to bring in enough taxes to pay for their pension.
Anyways, let’s see who this upsets most 😅

I was pretty confused at first but this article is from 2016? I get it’s a goofy story but that’s 10 years old. What am I missing here?
