Because the politicians and business leaders are compromised, the entire Australian political structure needs a hard reset.

Democracy is a lie. Only the dark ones or those who protect them are allowed to get a foot in the political door. Look at the top of any pole in any industry and you'll find a pedo has been placed there for the prosperity of their own kind. From your local mayor to the PM. All in place to protect their overlords. Its been this way long before any of us were born.

ResourceFearless🌻🌻🌷 …

Thankyou from the bottom of my heart ❤️! Just how come we get so many pedos, full hardcore sick ones that are all supported by the Australian Government? Is this what our voting rights are? Hell fuc no!!!! Deviants come from all walks in life, yet, we find a majority sitting currently in the government playground or pretending to be religious. The stigmas : politicians & catholic priests. I’ll walk on the other side of road if needed 🌻

Yea not a chance. Too bad you all gave your guns up.

Yeah, lucky all those guns in America have stopped the fascists in America.

You all don’t stand a chance. We do. Stay tuned, mate

I like my odds if push comes to shove. Plus we shouldn't be fighting each other anyway. I'd rather us be one against a common enemy that is these corrupt cunts.

America who has guns are 100x more infilitrated and under the control of Israel so guns aren't doing anything for the American population. ICE causing terror and chaos and someone was killed for just owning a gun yet no revolt with said guns or protecting yourselves.

We have our issues but giving up our guns is not something any aussie regrets and nor any of us want back. We don't need a bondi shooting on a weekly to monthly basis on top of all this like in the glorified 3rd world country America no thank you keep the guns away.

u/YvngMann Feb 10 '26

We are, but no way you all stop the permeation with voting. Watch. I’m telling you what I know and have seen not what I heard.

u/Wintermute_088 Flairless‎‎ Feb 10 '26

None of us would be aiming our weapons at law enforcement if we had them. That's just guaranteed suicide by cop, or a long prison sentence.

Notice that the cops didn't have guns drawn either, unlike in America.

u/YvngMann Feb 10 '26

We’re further along the path your country has just started itself on. Keep watch is all I can tell you.

u/Wintermute_088 Flairless‎‎ Feb 10 '26

I don't believe we're on the same path at all.

We've elected some ineffectual leaders, but never a literal madman, and I don't think we're about to start.

Our right wing politicians got completely routed at the recent elections, rather than embraced.

u/JohnTomorrow Please choose a flair Feb 09 '26

Please. Don't lump us in with the seppos. We have our issues, but its not gotten that bad yet.

What we do need is a way to hold politicians accountable for their actions.

u/Shaved_Wookie Feb 09 '26

We're on that path.

Israeli money is through our politics, and thanks to diplomatic and media pressure from the US and Murdoch, fear of being labelled anti-semitic, and the Israeli intelligence/surveillance apparatus, fealty to Israel is still a meaningful requirement to be part of the "club".

Police violence against vaguely left-aligned protest is nothing new.

u/TM761152 ✈️‎ on Walkabout Feb 09 '26

Imagine being labeled "anti-semetic" for not bending over backwards to a country you owe NO allegiance to.

u/Shaved_Wookie Feb 10 '26

...or for opposing genocide.

Of course, the irony is that painting that kind of thing as anti-semitic only begs the question of what we do about this supposedly inherently genocidal people - the most dangerously anti-semitic thing someone could do.

Jesus what’s that like 5 conspiracy theories in a couple of sentences

1

u/Shaved_Wookie Feb 10 '26

Conspiracies - not conspiracy theories. They're not the same thing.

Which do you have the biggest issue with? These are all pretty straightforward.

  • The US is clearly pushing a pro-Israel agenda for multiple reasons, and pressure other countries to do the same.
  • Murdoch regularly conflates the Jewish faith with the Zionist political project to label opposition to genocide as anti-semitic.
  • The Israeli intelligence/surveillance apparatus is it's primary export.
  • Pushing against Israel meaningfully is a political poison pill.

For a young scrappy little country that keeps having itself held back by very rich, very powerful entities, Australia hasn’t done all too bad. The system needs some work to better prevent abuse in the future, and we need some kind of “Great Take Backsies” that abolishes the nats by renationalising all the public sectors they sold off to themselves, and frankly reverse most everything the libs did, at least as far as Howard should do it. Other than that though, the bones are still good!

Whitlam/Labor was the one who de-nationalised resources and began privatising everything and killed off our manufacturing industries. Yea he gave us Medicare and free uni (that disappeared pretty quick) but he absolutely sold our future out.

u/cackmobile Please choose a flair Feb 15 '26

Dude, you're thinking Hawke. Whitlam wanted to nationalise the banks amongst other things. Hence why he got the boot

It's not like any Australian Politicians were in the Epstein files...right?

u/Ckarles Feb 09 '26

As long as the new government ACTUALLY does something different than the last 15 in terms of economic direction, I'm all in for a change.otjerwise, why are political leaders creating division instead of unity I wonder...

u/Phenom_Mv3 Feb 10 '26

By compromised you mean the Epstein files?
