OK....you want to shine a light on ridiculous beliefs ? How’s this :

You argue that mass immigration doesn’t push down wages ....even though its main advocates are the LNP , multinational corporations and oligarchical billionaires .

And who led you to the conclusion that to oppose excessive immigration is racist ? It was the corporate media . It was Murdoch . It was Domain Fairfax. It was the neoliberal ALP and their sold out union cronies.

But sure .....you’re the smart ones !

"Since when did 130 hour fortnights of hard labour in 45 degree heat building remote infrastructure for Australia’s main export become a “ cash grab “ ?"

Main export? To Chi-na.

Working for? "Multinational corporations and oligarchical billionaires."

Hmmmm, as Marx said: "Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others."

Hey, at least we get your new name now.

"Perhaps if people were open about how they made their money it would reveal motives behind sentiments regarding various political perspectives ?

If someone was involved in a business on the Surf coast of Victoria which relied on constant supply of humans for labour / custom then it would certainly mitigate the weight of their opinion when promoting greater population growth."

Time to admit to yourselves that you’ve swallowed ten engorged inches of neoliberal lies when you joined the “ Woke choir “ singing songs from the transnational corporations songbook.

Some of the supplied hymns include :

“ If you want to prove your love of diversity you’ll argue for the importation of millions of surplus workers “

“ It’s OK to support modern blackbirding if you’re woke “

“ False dichotomy - You either support continuous slack in the labour market or you’re racist “

“ I don’t support the LNP , I just endorse their anti- worker policies “

“ Me and Gina and Twiggy and Harry Triguboff all love humanity unlike you racists !”

And that timeless favourite .... “ Only racists argue against coolie labour “

So many classic songs !

"Then we have this brilliant insight into the workings of small business.

“If someone was involved in a business on the Surf coast of Victoria which relied on constant supply of humans for labour / custom…….”

Umm, don’t all businesses rely on humans for labour and custom?"

We’ve all familiar with the platitudinous ship of fools , what we’ve got here is a veritable thalassocracy of clowns.

Three of the best .

The first is a retired school teacher with an expertise limited to vomit inducing condescension . A fella who hates nothing more than stupidity....and who then claims that increased human pressure on an environment won’t affect the environment negatively. A bloke who detests unsubstantiated opinions and then extends an opinion on Chinese aggression he’s gained from Internet resurch. A guy who denounced conspiracy theorists as morons and who then claims that the Russians control the US President.

The second is a failed middle-manager type who claims to be enmeshed in class war whilst he admits to despising the working class. A bloke who holds the highest regard for unique insight and who then shouts down any voice who holds a differing opinion to his own. A fella who fancies himself a head kickin’ rude boy anarchist, despite possessing more X chromosomes than the female cast of Suburban Housewives and hands softer than a wet wipe.

The third is a scared old man who sounds like a frightened 2GB phone-in when demanding that young people in Melbourne be locked in their homes so he can live his life free on the coast. A fella who thinks that shouting “racist “ at bewildered passers by will earn him a seat next to Jesus. A bloke who believes a tertiary education renders his every thought immaculate and perfectly conceived , even as those written thoughts appear as side-splitting comedy at best , shouty and vacuous tripe at worst.

All three consider themselves thoughtful humanists whilst delivering the most insulting and withering accounts of other posters with no regard to either emotional impact or accuracy . All three claim they value nothing greater than diversity whilst being completely unable to tolerate a differing perspective or opinion.

The three blokes most likely to leave the pub with less teeth than they arrived .

If you support the neoliberal immigration drive then you support coolie labour. Unambiguously.

I abhor slavery , indentured servitude , unfair work practices and their like in any way shape or form. That’s why I’m against the mass oversupply of labour arising from Australia’s immigration program , which has worker exploitation as a function , not a bug , at its heart.

If you support modern day blackbirding then you’ll endorse mass immigration.

You’ll have to show me where I’ve blamed the exploited workers. I blame the mentally challenged such as yourself, for the current political situation in Australia. You are the one calling everyone else racist when they oppose the system which supports the exploitation.

You just said “ Zen , where have I ever said I support mass immigration “ and now you’re back calling everyone else racist cause they oppose it too.

Ridiculous.

I don’t blame you . I blame the person who held the plastic bag over your head when you were younger . If they hadn’t cut off the oxygen to your brain for those long minutes then maybe you’d be aware of the stupidity in the words you type.

I’d morphed into the ultimate internet weirdo and it is time to get out."

Not much chance you’ll appreciate the irony of your link , Facto ?

You want it to seem like overreach with the chick in the red dress saying that the fascist mobs want to control how you think , believe and feel . This straight after a video of an unhinged fascist mob trying to control the way innocent people think , believe and feel through intimidation and threat of violence.

Not sure how you can’t put the two together ? Take a look at the fascist mob if you want to see wide-eyed radicals . To the description of which I could add nerdish , social rejects who’d quiver if the mob wasn’t behind them . Your kind of people !

I bet you wish you had an excuse to get together a collective of witless and spineless basement dwellers into a fascist mob so you could walk the street with your head held high for once .

Quick question : Why are those fascists always so ugly ? At least they should get some smart uniforms like their brown and red shirted predecessors.....might distract from their rank heads .

Anyhoo...

The Q in QAnon!

CONspiracy?

"The identity of "Q" has apparently been uncovered. So Jim Watkins owns QMAP_PUB. Jim Watkins was long known as “the face of 8chan,” a site welcoming racism, sexism, anti-Semitism, absolute 2nd am rights, live-streamed mass murders, etc. Qmap_pub is the principal distributor of Q drops. You see it a lot on Q people's protest signs. It used to be hosted on Amazon Web Services. Now, Jim Watkins has taken it over too. He probably bought it. Jim is now not only stamping Q drops with an imprimatur, he's the main distributor.

The bit of cognitive dissonance that really gets us is the fact that Q is hosted in places that have a serious child porn problem while advocating to "save the children". That's right, all the dipshits sharing QAnon "save the children" incessantly trying to drown out any other cause? They're sharing a faux-movement peddled by a pile of bullshit that originated on a place known for kiddie porn.

Its A record is pointing at 203.28.246.1, an IP owned by @LimTheNick through "OrcaTech", the same shell company that hosts 8chan and 8kun. It's VanwaTech's corporate identity. And who is "LimTheNick"? Nicholas Lim, who runs BitMitigate, a site that protects notorious Nazi site The Daily Stormer from DDoS attacks.

I mean, look at this guy's photo. Jim certainly looks exactly like a distinguished, high level spy with unfettered access to the biggest secrets the US has and not at all like someone who set up a website specifically to service pedophiles who had been run out of other sites on a rail. Can anyone explain why a “high level intelligence official” used a known haven for child pornography to post intelligence leaks?"

You ever realised that every single thing you post and say is ether snide or snarky or bitchy or mean ? Literally everything.

You’ll use any issue or topic as a weapon to inflame tensions and a as medium with which to inject your poison into people.

Racial issues , geopolitics, music , movies everything and anything is a vehicle for you to convey just what a petty little spirit you possess.

That’s some sad shit. Over on the Australia thread people are happy and united but you find no joy in that , so you repeatedly tried to divert it in a direction of disharmony and hatred. Your last post ( Treaty ) had nothing to do with the terrible disenfranchisement of blackfellas and everything to do with sticking your sly knife into others . It’s a good song with a worthy message and a message which should be expressed. But it’s also a song which highlights divisions and it’s no coincidence that you’ve selected a song with represents an unpalatable aspect of Australia on a thread dedicated specifically to anything about the place which makes us feel love, appreciation and pride . You show no appreciation for the sentiment of cohesion at all.

You’re a sad , sad little man .

Even the fact that someone else started a thread has you jealous....that’s the perverse level of weirdness within you that you can’t disguise. Hateful , unpleasant and malicious.
