Sin taxes on grog and smokes, bans on drugs, public funded healthcare.

Roles of government all over the world my entire life.

Rolling the new wokeling environment stuff into that seems disengenious.

My point (and what I read from the text) was that broadly, it's the only thing left to any of these governments. To what degree is where it differs.

At the same time we are in need of uniformity, and so we (and I mean we as in the US) have some bizarre tantrums to go with tv scolds...

...like I said the other day, unable to go about it communally.

============================

Even the sin taxes though are now immediately in the health category...no longer sins and not even culturally verboten either. We are free, as long as we understand that health is our obligation and shall be enforced come hell or highwater.

but for me, this is sort of compartmentalized with the pressing concern of a novel airborne virus.

The situation is between a rock and a hard place.

A conservative US commentator has suggested America should “invade” to liberate Australians from “tyrannical” Covid-19 restrictions, likening the country to the early stages of a dictatorship under Hitler or Stalin.

Daily Wire host Candace Owens made the provocative comments in her Tuesday show, saying that her husband has family members in Australia, one of whom recently shared that “the mental state of everyone around her was in steep decline”.

“She shared with him a message that she had received from a friend of hers, a woman who lives in Queensland, and the message is genuinely shocking,” Owens said.

“I was shocked reading this message and I decided that for this episode I’m just going to read it for verbatim. It’s a list of the Covid rules that Australian citizens are being made to follow. As I read this I want you to close your eyes and imagine that this was your life, and what your mental state would be like if you were being made to abide by these rules.”

Queensland has managed to repeatedly dodge COVID-19 lockdowns, leaving many wondering - how do they do it?

Back when I lived in the US Midwest I recall a Canadian friend saying that he was very happy that most Americans, and most important, most American politicians could not locate Canada on a map as the last thing any nation wants is American attention and American's good intentions.

I'm offended on behalf of my people

Frankly, by this point, we should just go all in with the chemical warfare. Mustard Gas for everyone.

Azimitabar's self-portrait was painted using a toothbrush, a technique he began experimenting with in 2014, soon after being put into one of Australia's offshore immigration detention camps on Manus Island, Papua New Guinea.

"I asked one of the officers on Manus: 'Can I have some paint?'... I would like to do some artwork because I don't want to give up'," he recalled.

Furthermore, the security guard lost his job over it. (Should have had charges too? Was he charged?)

But there is a definite pattern in Melbourne; let's call it the local custom :





'Ya know how the Gasden Flag's motto is: "Don't Tread On Me"?

The Melbourne motto seems to be: "By All Means, Tread When You Can" or is it, "Choke and Beat Me, Please?" Is it some sort of weird S&M thing?

I've got to give credit to us Americans. Choking, kicking & beating is much less efficient and time consuming than shooting.
