waitingmanI know, statistically speaking, that the anti-mask, anti-vaccination, conspiracy theorising, lunatic fringe is a small sector of this wonderful melting pot of a society we endure live in, especially here in Australia where, as I've noted before , we've been fortunate to have been spared the ravages of Covid19 which have torn holes in various countries populations & economies
But that's no reason to carry on like the bastard sons of the Occupy movement, who were the bastard sons of the 'G' protesters, who are the bastard sons of the anti-nuclear & peace movements of the 70s & 80s. Since the Cold War ended, it's been hard to find a genuine issue that everyone agrees is ruining the planet, so the causes have become harder to justify, louder & more desperate, demonising some supposed, secret global cabal who, depending on your chosen theory, want to wipe out the working class, want to turn us into unthinking proles, want to sacrifice us to the lizard people, or just leave us behind when they all take off in some secret spaceship
Still, that's Australia for you... we're so desperate to be a part of the world, we'll jump on any bandwagon. Occupy Wall St? Okay, we'll occupy... Martin Place in Sydney... what do you mean you've never heard of it? Terrorist attack? Hey, the guy who took hostages at a Sydney café who had a history of mental illness & domestic violence said he wanted an ISIS flag, didn't he? Must be a terrorist attack, right?. Covid19's a hoax & the vaccine's a cover for (insert loony theory here) & lockdown's unconstitutional, so instead of storming government buildings with automatic weapons, we'll... march through a suburban shopping mall with 2nd-hand slogans we've copied from the USA
Yeah!! Mandatory vaccines for our judges (Pedophiles)sic!!!! No mate, you've go that wrong - all the Priests are paedophiles... & besides - why should the kiddy-fiddlers get the vaccine before I do??!
I can't wait for a bunch of pissed-up blokes in a Toyota Hilux to try 'storming' the Federal Parliament after the next local by-election...
