 Your government is trying to illicit a reaction.

I lived in Melbourne during Covid, we had the most ridiculous and draconian lockdowns anywhere. Curfews of 8pm-5am, restrictions on travelling more than 5km from home, 1 hour daily outdoor time like we were literally in prison, groups of up to 2 ppl and later 5, everything except supermarkets and petrol closed.

When things finally bubbled up here to major protests (the biggest since Iraq war), the police went psychotic. They imposed media blackouts on the CBD, rolled in fucking Bearcat G3s, corralled protestors and shot them with rubber bullets, arrested ppl for Facebook posts on and on.

Leftists were allowed to march here for George Floyd’s death in the US, and they were allowed to counter protest the anti-gov/antilockdown protests with their Trans flags and Hammer&Sickles - no problem.

But go against the State and they’ll use that as an excuse to demonise and impose the harshest sanctions you can imagine.

This is what’s coming for Britain. 

They’re riling people up so the people can be made into the enemy, then they’re going to come down on them like a ton of bricks.

They don’t care what the people want. How destructive their policy is is irrelevant. They see themselves apart from the rabble, with a divine right to rule over the mere plebs.

You best stay well away from all of it, no amount of protesting is going to do anything good. People are just going to destroy shopfronts and scrap with cops and some immigrant mobs, doing nothing to address the actual problems and adding fuel to the fire for government intervention.

Until and unless the anger reaches a point where people are building gallows and guillotines, hunting down the parasites to remind them they are mere flesh and blood, you’re going to be forced to watch on in horror as your society is destroyed.

This is the end game. Making demands with words won’t achieve anything any longer, you can’t vote nor reason your way out of this - costs need to be imposed or the people are going to be crushed.

Good luck to the Poms, I hope they’re ready for what is coming 🤞 
 Absolutely.

Problem - reaction - solution

I came to the conclusion many years ago to defund the parasitic class and stop using their money. 
 I will never forget our protests in Melbourne.
Between the lockdowns and the response I was taken from a more theoretical libertarian viewpoint to a true hatred of the state.

I was radicalized. 
 Understandable. VicGov showed how truly evil socialists in the modern day can be, they radicalised a lot of people and then The Greens demanded an inquiry into “far-right extremism” in exchange for them voting for the new pandemic bill which gave VicGov even more power.
