Welcome to the EZFKA Weekend Links for the 10-11 July, 2021! This week we are all about bad propaganda. Why?
Because as a viable economic unit within EZFKA, the least the system could provide me a good propaganda. I mean, is that too much to ask? If you are going to steal, lie, kill, maim, drug etc etc the population, is it too much to ask for the quality of the propaganda to be … well, quality.
I ask you, is it too much to ask for? Well, maybe, or maybe the system is not longer able to tell bull-dust from reality. Which is a scary scenario, so we are going to go back to pretending its just the propaganda that is bad.
Hopefully you enjoy the links this weekend!

I took the L line a couple of times. didn’t much appreciate it. but never saw that lol.
Thanks man much appreciated! Have a look at the video walk through of NYC. Its looks massively shite. Feel really bad for the peeps who have to live through it, super depressing.
reminds me of David Byrne’s (Talking Heads) memoir about living in alphabet city (lower east side) in the late 70s and 80s when the city was basically bankrupt.
ppl would idolize the ‘bohemian lifestyle’. his retort: there’s nothing artistic or bohemian about living in a place where you can witness a homeless black guy taking a dump in the center isle of a 711
Doesn’t seem to be a lot of diversity with regards to people’s stereotype expectations of who is doing the public shitting.
Did you watch the clip?
https://twitter.com/barstoolsports/status/1411776188104822786
You can really see how ‘relieved’ he is. 😂
I’ve generally found stereotypes to be fairly accurate. They’re generally a good heuristic short cut that is safer erroring on than trying to prove the exception.
Yes. It is almost common sense really that people judge situations and people on the basis of probability from past behaviour or common knowledge instead of exception.
Stereotypes all had to come from somewhere at the end of the day, if something is true even 60% of the time it lets you as an individual keep that back of mind that it is more likely than not to occur.
Yes, one should try and not jump to conclusions & consider whatever it is in front of you for the merit it presents, but it takes a lot of energy to undo that initial thought process.
Terrible.
And who is going to take the risk of opening a shop when at any time they can call another ’emergency’.
He estimated one space at $75k a month rent.
that’s $2.5k a day has to come in just to cover rent.
Watched Bowral, terrible.
That Canadian clip about continuing the injunctions against public gatherings but now to stop the spread of ‘unauthorised information’ is an absolute mind-bender of authoritarian overreach. WTF!
Dude it’s mental. Seriously I’m convinced that the media does not reported this stuff because deep inside they are pretty scared too.
Well I hope so anyways.
Government/Media links even more obvious. Don’t trust Border Force.

Maxga? Hmmmm…
Lock. Us. Down!
It’s the only way… we’re told.
You are a cunt.
Sooner or later it will get out. We will never restrict enough to stop it forever.
Is it worth a decade of lockdowns to then have it get out and rip anyway?
We can only hope. Only way out of this mess and give up the silly border restrictions.
A drink for everyone in NSW doing the lockdown.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_clusters_in_Australia
have a look here at the huge number of “covid deaths” arising from nursing home clusters
by just eyeballing it has to be the majority of Covid deaths in the country (only 910, 820 of which were in Victoria under the watchful stewardship of dictator Dan)
maybe someone can run the stats
the mortality at newmarch house was 50% for instance
why have we not just locked down nursing homes?
and meals on wheels for the rest of the oldies still at home
the rest of us could have got on with it , and would now be immune
https://www.health.gov.au/news/health-alerts/novel-coronavirus-2019-ncov-health-alert/coronavirus-covid-19-case-numbers-and-statistics
20,000 cases in under 50yos in Australia (probably wildly underestimated since only a complete fuckwit would get tested)
5 deaths in under 50yos
0.02% CFR
IFR must be 0.002%
Fully 67% of Australia’s population is under 50 years of age
that is 67% of the population being needlessly held hostage
67% of the population now seems to suffer from Stockholm syndrome and loving that jack-boot stomping on their face.
I somewhat agree however even the elderly and those at risk with pre-existing medical conditions still haven’t received x2 injections due to Scomo betting the house on AZ, which has now blown up in his face.
I think another few months of vaccines in arms for those most at risk and I’d be fully on board with your point of view.
Now explain : Why do I have to lockdown ? Or get a vaccine
why don’t we just lockdown everyone over the age of 50 – force them to stay in their homes and have people in hazmat suits drop off food outside their door
why the fuck is my life being ruined by this when I have nothing to gain
Because there are those with other medical conditions, it’s not just over 50. Also turns out, we’re a fat fuck country so really you would have to:
It’d be half of Sydney, impossible to politically administrate, so it’s easier to just lockdown everyone.
Or let anyone who chooses to lockdown do so
ya know
free will and personal responsibility and all that
like we do with cigarettes and alcohol and stuffing your face with chips etc
But that analogy doesn’t work because if I become an alcoholic, the impact on others is near zero. Out of your examples smoking is the only one that is really applicable, but is still many orders of magnitude less dangerous than Covid being spread. If I smoke near someone, they don’t immediately get lung cancer or reduced lung capacity days later etc.
no I think you are not using your brain
if you want to lockdown you can – then you’re safe
if you don’t want to lockdown – then you’re exposing yourself to risk
it’s precisely the same as cigarettes and alcohol and fatty food
by the way, the CFR for under 50s is 0.02% as a whole
that includes those who are obese or have medical issues
the IFR is probably a fraction of that
and for healthy , slim people under 50?
it’s zero
Retard
Ok so let’s say you run with your approach, a stack of people become sick who chose not to lockdown, and clog up the hospitals like WAF says, then you are in a car accident and need ICU but can’t get receive treatment in time. Then what?
Hospitalisation matters as much as deaths.
Also your belief in the individual doing the right thing is pretty high. Can’t see people voluntarily locking down whilst everyone else goes about their lives.
And how do you enforce your even more fake lockdown than what is presently in place?
Under your semi let it rip approach there are 2nd order consequences that can so easily blow up in your face is my point.
The shared sacrifice option is still for now the least worst and most fairest option, but by Xmas or thereabouts with more vaccinations it’s time to move on from lockdowns.
We aren’t even close to that point and never will be
the authorities moved on from that story a long time ago
the joke I am making is that flattening the curve and hammer and dance are never even heard of now
no health service in the western world ever reached that point after the first few months because masks, PPE etc are now widely available
all those emergency hospital facilities have been closed – and they were never used once
“We aren’t even close to that point and never will be”
On what basis would you draw that conclusion? Hope or luck? Why wouldn’t Delta rip through Australia like it has in every other country that is mostly unvaccinated? It’s already proving very difficult to slow it down – whilst Sydney is in a lockdown (fake lockdown but nonetheless).
In every other country, the Delta variant has $*%cked them right up. Other developed countries have also had vaccines more readily available for months to support/protect their population so it’s hardly a fair like for like comparison.
So do we keep locking down as we approach Zulu variant or alpha alpha, or alpha zulu?
Common flu constantly mutates, it’s why it’s always around. Covid will most likely be the same. How many years of lockdowns are you prepared to endure for “safety”, 2, 5, 50?
Or should we accept it’s never going away and live with it?
Agreed it’s never going away but the prudent thing to do is continue to vaccinate the most vulnerable of society until we’re better covered. All darts on a board really but the 80% target is a pipedream, I would have thought 30-40% of the population receiving both shots with 60%+ receiving one shot is probably plenty enough to wave goodbye to lockdowns.
“But that analogy doesn’t work because if I become an alcoholic, the impact on others is near zero”
no way, alcohol is a socially devastating drug. it has an incalculable negative impact on society.
A smallish % of people are badly affected over the long term due to their personal choices, for the majority of people it’s totally fine. This is why it’s legal in the majority of countries? And me having a beer doesn’t directly impact other people, unless I’m a total fuckwhit about it all socially, health wise partially agree if you over do it longer term, but it’s still an order of magnitude better than say, smoking, and Covid.
Hospital capacity.
This has not changed for the entire pandemic yet you keep carrying on like a fuckwit. Sick people fill up hospitals, old/vulnerable people aren’t the only one’s requiring hospitalisation.
Your failure to grasp this most basic of concepts is why you were derided over at MB and why you should be derided here.
I say again you are cunt but would like to add to that – you are a stupid cunt. For fuck sake you are an idiot.
Ah yes, flatten the curve
Whatever happened to that ?
did we get all the ventilators we needed ?
18 months should have been plenty of time
and if we let 67% of Australia’s population mingle
= 16 million
let’s say 50% catch it
= 8 million
IFR 0.002%
=160 people
you think that might overwhelm the hospital system ?
which of us is the moron ?
You, always have been and always will be.
Or who remembers “hammer and the dance”
that all the morons over at em bee were so enthralled by in early 2020
written by that “tech entrepreneur”
I was assured by DLS and the lock us down crew that this was gospel
It has worked several times in Australia. What hasn’t worked is the fed govt insisting on being incompetent fuckwits. We only needed one hammer and dance and then adequate deployment of vaccines to those that want it and then steady opening up until pandemic has run its course.
What is your realistic timeframe for a global pandemic to run its course and everyone to go back to BAU? Letting it rip sans initial lockdowns and vaccines for those that want them will not let you get back to BAU as soon as it think you will.
Anyone over 50 who wanted a vaccine could have got one already
there was plenty of astra Zeneca to go around
but fucking boomers weren’t happy with a 1 in a million chance of venous sinus thrombosis so we all have to go back to lockdown while they wait for Pfizer which theyve been assured is soo much better
by the way hammer and dance and flatten the curve was never about waiting for vaccines
it was about masks and ventilators
18 months ago it was unfathomable that a safe and effective vaccine could be prepared in less than 12 months
hmmmm 🤔
It’s about managing numbers, always has been always will be. How do you not understand this?
Masks, ventilators , vaccines, treatments etc are ancillary.
As per vaccine, isn’t everyone actually waiting for novavax?
What management? It is about delaying the inevitable if they keep up the way they are currently.
until it rips the pandemic doesn’t go away. This is the uncomfortable truth no one wants to admit.
No, until enough of the most vulnerable is vaccinated and the rest just live with it, that’s when it ends.
This is truth, but vaccines will be nowhere near ass effective as you think they will. Currently vaxed people are in hospital as well as unvaxed.
You say this with certainty but have zero proof. Unhinged irrationality. You are a fuckin ranting spastic. Saturday, Queensport, knuckle sandwich buffet, come have a feed.
Unless you are running a controlled spread through the country hospital capacity will ALWAYS be a problem.
Sooner or later an outbreak will get real, just like it has everywhere else in the world, and the capacity will still be overwhelmed then. The current plan does NOTHING to fix this.
Are you actually retarded?
Can you make any sort of argument or just say shit fuck cunt retard spaz lolololololol
Actually Im beginning to think you actually have a real learning disability, so maybe I shouldn’t make fun of you anymore.
That’s not the ezfka way.
We live in a wierd time. Enough to get a bloke down.
Why even lock them down? Seriously, the median length of a stay in an aged care facility is about 9 months. For men it’s about 5 months. People go into them to die. Yet we’re supposed to sacrifice our lives to keep these dying people hanging on for a few more months?
“…and would now be immune”.
Missed this bit yesterday. You sure about that?
I don’t agree that aged care should be locked down. The reason for this is that nearly everyone in aged care is going to die within a couple of years anyway and therefore if they are locked down a lot will die lonely deaths isolated from loved ones.
Also people should be able to determine the risks they face for themselves and if the few ones that still have their marbles were asked if they wanted to be locked down for a year or take the risk of contracting covid, they would have to be insane to choose the latter option.
All that being said the government could still reduce the risk to care homes by taking simple measures such as ensuring they weren’t all staffed by dodgy migrants earning significantly less than minimum wage while working 5 different jobs to get by.
I meant former not latter in the above post.
Does anyone trade equity options? As a retail schmo, how would I trade long dated us tech puts?
The anti trust thing happening to tech is very interesting.
Good links T – had a read of that the honey trap used against Assange. I was aware that she had connections to the CIA, in fact that was about the only reason I supported Assange and believed the Aust Govt should provided assistance. Apart from that I thought he was mainly narcissistic, self aggrandizing, cyber marxist. I have far, far more respect for Snowden.
With regard to the options, I’ve found you can never buy long dated options far enough out, to match the theta that quibbling, time delay not to mention corrupt politicians generate while making a Govt ‘decision’.
Some months ago somebody (you? Freddy?) shared a link to an awesome humorous tale/blog post (fictional) about how some dude’s option trading attempts and how he got shaken down due to not understanding the greeks.
(if I recall correctly one of the episodes is how he bought puts over a company rightly anticipating that it would default on its debts. But when it did, equity didn’t go to zero as he had imagined it would & he got rekt 🤣)
That sounds vaguely familiar – the twittersphere is resplendent with such stories.
If you want to lose your money fast, trade stocks. If you want to lose your money really fast, trade options.
And if you want to see your money simply disappear in a puff of smoke trade CFDs. 😲
It wasn’t me. I might have posted a video link on some idiot traders but that about it.
Agree with Stewie on Options. They are the realm of time decay insurance calculations. Hedge fund mathematicians vs mug punters. Decide which of those two categories you fit into.
Disagree with Sacha on CFDs. People get burnt because they don’t understand how much leverage they are using.
And that’s why your money will disappear in a puff of smoke if you don’t know what you are doing trading CFDs Freddy.
I use almost exclusively CFDs, I like the leverage they give me and I use it to my advantage. But it took me a while to learn trading them and it cost me money in the beginning. The market will extract a tuition fee from you while it is educating you.
Everything I am contributing here only comes from my own experience. Whatever works for you or Stewie or anybody else is good too. I just wouldn’t recommend CFDs to newbie traders.
There are 1000s of different ways of making money, and millions of ways of losing money. As long as we can help each other here to avoid making some mistakes all for the better.
The average person does not understand leverage. So many cases like Storm financial where people did not understand that they had margin loans on leveraged positions. Unless people understand how it works and have capacity to make margin or mark to market calls, they really shouldn’t be playing around with leverage.
This is all true.
That’s what I mean with the pool full of sharks.
It’s buyer beware. If people want to trade something that they don’t even understand or did 5 minutes of due diligence on and then decide to put their money on the line they will get taken to the cleaners.
I also learnt some lessons. That was the basis of my articles a few weeks back. Not necessarily getting burnt but more spinning my wheels because I didn’t fully appreciate Leverage Decay.
I have been trying to learn trading for years. It’s bloody hard! I end up making only small profits overall. Can you recommend any good books? Edit: scrolled down and saw your recommendation. Thanks. On it.
I don’t know much about options T.
You can set up a trading account with your bank for Aussie market. For Aussie options have to apply separately, but very limited choice. If you want to trade US securities you’ll have to apply for separate USD account again, not sure if can do US options.
If you are interested in trading I would start simple with Aussie market just to get a feel for it. Also can try a demo account but in my opinion this doesn’t work because have to feel the personal emotion of profit/loss wit real money.
You can buy Aussie ETFs to go long or short the US market e.g. BetaShares:
https://www.betashares.com.au/learn/australias-home-of-etf-investing/
But if I were you I would be very careful going short, there is too much BTFD (Buy The Fucking Dip) going on. Most traders know that if the market drops the Fed panics and do some ‘easing’ or jawboning so every time there is a 1-2% drop the dip will be bought and you will get slaughtered, especially on leveraged trades like options.
Also start reading some books on trading to find out which style might best fit your personality and lifestyle i.e. how much time do you want to spend a week on trading. I liked the Market Wizards series from Jack Schwager. He interviews successful traders that all have a very different way of getting money from the market.
https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Jack+Schwager&ref=nb_sb_noss
Yes. In other words, picking market tops & trying to short them is for chumps. You’re literally betting against the house.
I stopped shorting a long time ago.
Only when there is panic selling and massive liquidations like in Feb/March 2020 (Covid panic) it is worthwhile and frankly very easy to make money going short.
And yes, picking market tops and/or bottoms is a mugs game.
You’re always betting against the house as a retail trader.
A good analogy is that you are trying to pick up pennies from the bottom of a swimming pool that is full of sharks.
If you are a Retail trader or day trader, you are only making your broker richer. Additionally you are betting against professionals who have better access to information. The information asymmetry is why I recommend your average person to invest for long term. I have no issues with people trading in penny stocks or pink sheets as long as it is not the majority of your capital.
IMO if you treat it as binary either way (all-in long or short) you will eventually get burnt. Hence the need to adjust trade size based on volatility + insurance against a catastrophic event.
I’d go one step further and say trading is for chumps. Anyone not in the top 10% of all traders or whatever the stats are loses money so why bother competing with the smartest people in the world with the best algos and information on hand.
Best advice for the average Joe is buy the dip.
This is true. One way or another it ends up being theft of workers’ savings. Either by the government through inflation, or by fund managers gambling your money and taking a clip, or lose it gambling yourself.
The problem is that people think that trading is easy, it’s not. When I started I thought it was easy too, I was a chump.
Then you realise it’s going to take 2-3 years at least to even get a basic understanding. Most people will already have given up longe before that.
You are right with your 90% of traders lose money.
All you have to do is persevere and keep learning from your mistakes. Then you can also be part of the 10%.
You then have your financial future in your own hands, I think the reward is very much worth the struggle.
…and a valuable skill to teach your kids which they can use to survive anywhere.
Hi Robert, you asked for book recommendations.
The Jack Schwager books are not going to specifically teach you how to trade, just different styles of trading. Although some people give good tips.
When I started I had a look at where I could learn. I found that no one is going to tell you how to do it. If you go on YouTube or internet there are 1000s of people that will ‘teach’ you if you pay XXX a month. I wouldn’t trust any of them.
Although YouTube is a good source for finding out about basic technical analysis, fundamental analysis, options, ETFs, CFDs et cetera.
In the end I found that the best way is read a lot, listen to traders e.g. Chat with traders:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdnzT5Tl6pAkATOiDsPhqcg/videos
And try to learn from their mistakes. Although my own experience is that you will still make those exact mistakes anyway 😂
Bottom line, you have to do it yourself, no one is going to tell you. Keep learning and honing your skills. If you find one set-up that works you can make money.
Patience is also very important. Don’t try to force money out of the market but let the market come to you.
I tip my hat to you sir if you’re consistently profitable over any say 6-12 month timeframe. Well done.
I did well on crypto but tend to only breakeven on my share trading, basically I use some TA now to support entry positions but now hold long term once I buy so I can actually make money.
Beast, I still have bad periods in trading.
But the good thing is even in the bad periods I’m no longer losing money, just playing even.
I’m quite restricted because at the moment I only trade Nasdaq and S&P futures through CFDs.
I also have my SMSF but that is more an investment account of course. It might surprise you that a big part of my SMSF is in physical gold and silver.
I’ve been trading for 6 years now, CFDs for 3 years and I am still learning every day. Honing my skill how to get better entry and exit points.
If you’re looking at investing for long term, only look at a bigger timeframe, say a weekly. And then wait for the market/stock to have a significant dip before you buy in.
It’s a long road but you’ll get there in the end if you keep going beast. Good luck!
Thanks man I’ll check those links out.
👍🏼
Also if you’re looking for a charting platform I would recommend you have a look at TradingView:
https://www.tradingview.com
The Pro subscription cost USD 155 a year. Aussie ASX market data feed cost USD 18 a month.
It’s cheap but good and easy to use. It’s web based so can also use at work or while traveling on any computer with internet connection. Also have the phone/tablet app of course. Also have a lot of other free data feeds and a lot of cryptos on there too.
I didn’t like the trading platforms that banks provide but maybe you do.
Other people here might have other options for you to look at.
Good luck on your journey T!
Please remember to visit us humble peasants at EZFKA every now and then when you are a millionaire trader. 😉
Ya forgot to say, if you really have the urge to buy US tech put options and that’s all you want to do just go for it.
Your bank will sort you out.
Buy the puts, but limit the possible loss. There are many approaches to doing this.
In Ireland that have a different version of our EZFKA Corporatocracy, the NGOcracy:
https://fitzfromdublin.substack.com/p/on-ngocracy
Consensus Laundering. A good term one which I think is equally applicable to EZFKA’s Corporatocracy and all our “Institutes” manufacturing consent and giving the appearance of legitimacy, to what in reality is a form of tyranny being imposed on society.
It takes very little further investigation in regards to the nature, executive and management structure and donor lists for these NGO’s, to work out where the main cultural globalist viewpoints are coming from.
Ah, that’s a very good couple of paragraphs, Stewie. Very interesting.
I think I know where you’re going with the very last bit, and it ain’t sub Saharan….
The “NGOs” have simply weaponised sub-Saharans…imho they also fetishize them too.
This is apparent when you look at the way the US media has refocused on them as simultaneously the most deprived Americans as a group identity and the main generators of American culture. A couple generations ago it was the more rightfully aggrieved Native American Indians who were the media’s main focus on oppression, and recipients of social justice concerns.
Sadly Native American Indians life outcomes are immeasurably worse than most African Americans, and have gotten far worse in recent years, inversely tracking the accent of the sob story surrounding African Americans.
Why is this so? A cynic might observe that having an aggrieved, low median IQ minority living in the cities and urban areas is a far more handy political weapon than a broken and demoralized indigenous community living in the countryside.
But then DLS called me a Fascist for daring to suggest as much.
DLS represents the worst of the left: an acid tongue that can’t take criticism. The same applies for the Members of Em Bee. Most can not take any criticism.
Is it any different here? Genuinely intrigued how you perceive the behaviour of all the out and proud “not left” people that make up this “community”.
it’s pretty different given we havent banned anybody
That’s not answering the whole question and you also aren’t Ramjet.
No one has been banned here and we are not consistently harassed for not subscribing or told that we are an astroturfer.
As for behaviour, it really depends on how much freedom you want people to have. Not many people respond well to criticism, but if you ban or harass the critics you end up with an echo chamber.
EmBee actually pretty much went feral at Peter Fraser, ResearchTime, 3d1k and others.
True.
Goes way back to the Rockefeller, Mellon families etc.
Using our own money agains us to undermine our own society.
So crafty.
Everyone wants a society that falls into their ideology. Unfortunately, those influential people could fleece our money to do just that.
Agree, but Stewie’s point I think was that what we’re dealing with here is a hostile elite that wants to change and undermine the existing society beyond recognition, as opposed to a benevolent elite that wants to build on and expand further the society that was already there in the first place.
It is more than that – they want to us our money to turn our society into theirs – for EVERYTHING. They want our values to be their values, our culture to be the culture THEY assign to us. What does this mean?
Well to glimpse the sort of society they want for us, we should take hints from the values that they reveal to us through their philosophies and their ‘think tanks’
Take economist Murray Rothbard, he argues that:
These are the same ideas that gave rise to Neoliberalism.
Divorcing the interdependence of parent and child, and instead deferring responsibility to the ‘state’ is the same as divorcing the interdependence of economic decision making from the society whose decisions the ‘economy’ emerge from i.e. the cultural values of the underlying society. Because a ‘nation’ should not provide free labour and resources to the cultures that reside within it, the responsibility is instead deferred to the ‘state’ or in this case ‘market forces’ that neoliberalism is so enamored with.
The purpose of MultiCult is to rob a nation’s society a social consensus on the use of the economic resources available to it, in order to prevent the existing society’s its perpetuate cultural values forward into the future. Essentially MultiCult robs a society of its own agency in respect of using its own resources to perpetuate its cultural majority’s legacy and values to the next generation.
MultiCult is a social terminator meme and in the context of helping an existing society and culture project its values forward into the future, which ALL societies and cultures have a right to do, is evil and morally indefensible.
So which society of cultural values would you like to live under?
One whose guidance is a thin book, that basically boils down to ‘Treat others how you would like to them to treat you’ and allows your society the freedom to develop and evolve, and provide the sort of innovation that is responsible for everything around us today?
Or… would you like to live in a proscriptive society, where absolutely everything is to be found in your holy book, every justification for every action, including it being legal for parents to let their children starve to death because parents are not obliged to provide free resources and labour?
Of course the ‘market forces’ in this case are not ‘free market forces’, because neoliberals are in control of those forces. For the general market I am all for a free market to set prices, it’s the only way to get the most economic and beneficial use for finite resources. But also realise that a free market shouldn’t mean that a country’s resources are sold of to the highest bidder without much benefit to the nation.
The Rothbard’s example was his own views reduced, for what most would think, to the absurd, maybe to shock and get a discussion going about freedom of choice and ownership rights. But I can see his point of view that your child is your product, you made it, you own it, not the state.
I have never looked much into Libertarianism, but there is a lot in there I agree with. But I also think it can only work with a small population that has the space to live free and unencumbered from others, probably mostly self sufficient. Then you can live by the ‘Live and let live’ ethos, freedom of interaction etc. Not sure it’ll work in the complex societies we have nowadays.
One thing I definitely agree with is that there is too much government interference and overreach. That’s why I like the original ideas of America’s founding fathers. In the US the government was there to serve the people. People gave up some of their rights to let government take care of the basics: defence, justice/law etc. We on the other hand seem to mostly exist to serve the government.
It boils down to do you have leaders that want what is best for the country and the people as a whole, and use its resources (commodities, labour, etc.) to project the culture into the future as you say, or leaders that are captured by neoliberal thought where everything in society is reduced to, as you so aptly put it ‘economic units’.
And as for your last question, yes I would undoubtedly prefer to live with a rulebook that is not hostile to my own culture.
Mate but you got to look at the bright side. It’s all falling apart for these wankers.
It is…. but then so are our societies.
The charity and advocacy mix is all skewed. Charity work is hard, it relies on donations and people using their time. My Greek neighbour still does a lot of charity work within her community and she is 83. It is exhausting for her, but she still does it. Sad that there are not many people like her. Much easier being an advocate where you write a report stating that someone and not you has to do something. Easier still is being an activist and writing insults to people who don’t share your view.
Yes, this is very good.
Jesus I can’t believe I missed this in bad propaganda weekend
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/90s-rapper-reboots-back-ass-sex-themed-vaccine-anthem
The gist of the new song, Vax That Thang Up, is that if you get vaccinated you’re sure to get laid.
Maybe he means you will be laid in a hospital bed suffering from side effects?
Lol. True that. But the bloke has been retired for ages.
They are pushing super hard, and I’m not sure people like this – pretty lousy propaganda, but will probably work for some % of the population.
I am strangely intrigued by the Modern Monetary Theory meme posted by T.
Especially how and if I could apply this theory to my own circumstances.
I am convinced that if my personal holdings of Treasury Bonds was just a tad larger I could make it work.
Which part? Although you could never apply it to your own circumstances as you can’t issue your own currency. Only applies to countries with their own currency.
The premise basically is really founded in accounting – Dr Loan Asset, Cr Deposit liability for the RBA.
For the government, Dr Cash Cr Loan liability back to the RBA.
As the RBA & the Government are actually the same thing it all just cancels out. And it can only work at the federal level, as only the RBA is legally able to create money.
The question is whether the debt is issued as interest bearing or not, the RBA doesn’t want to play that game just yet.
It was a joke beast!
If my cock (Treasury Bonds) was a tad larger I could make the meme work 🤪
Sorry interpreted that way too seriously! 🙂
If your cock was a tad larger u might be able to hold it between your fingers and take a piss standing up….rather than having to squat like the bish u are 😂
——————————————————————————⬆️
U took a selfie to prove u can piss standing up?
Also….thought u were a russian dyke, not some filipino tranny??
Thanks for adding so much to the quality of discourse and the general tone of the place.
No wonder you have nothing better to do…
😲
Cool
Might have been wrong on W@F so this one is for maggot.
NSW letting it rip with faux lockdown.
50 new cases, 16 in ICU – when will they crack the ton?
https://twitter.com/NSWHealth/status/1413664287743037444
First death (if it happens) will be a significant moment. What are all the “let it rip, only old and sick and fat die” mob going to say if it’s a fit 20 something?
A fit 20 something got killed in a car accident yesterday here on the corner.
I think for everyone’s safety we should stop all traffic immediately.
Except for such traffic as is necessary to get tradies to building sites, right?
Indeed.
Or miners to mine sites.
Yawn
This is a very apt analogy
Studies have shown that if we reduce the speed limit to 40kmh in urban areas we would save around half the annual road toll
if we included highways it would be essentially zero
why haven’t we done this yet ?
additionally studies have shown that wearing helmets while driving cars would also save lives and disability
why haven’t we done it ?
we are living in a fucking clown world, that’s why
yeah, and the argument they use against it is “because it would compromise our lives too much, that’s why, therre’s a tradeoff”
like there’s no tradeoff between completely shutting down the economy and not living our lives anymore to ‘combat’ covid lol
Not sure about where everyone else lives but in Brisbane I’m seeing heaps of urban main thoroughfares that have been reduced from 70 to 60 and now some to 50, so it is happening.
As for helmets – isn’t that being built into car design now to remove the need for helmets?
What’s your next pointless point?
What the fuck are you talking about you babbling fucking imbecile ?
helmets are built into cars ?
you’ve seen streets around your house reduced to 60?
this is the last response you get because you are too stupid to interact with
I answered your points dickhead.
Crumple zones, side air bags, safer cabin designs = helmets by proxy. If you can’t figure that out you’re a fuckin spastic.
Major urban arterial roads are implementing the speed reductions to decrease road deaths.
Industry/society is listening to science and implementing these hazard reductions (for better or worse).
Every time I call you out you say I’m babbling and not worthy of response to cover the fact I proved you wrong lol.
This is now the 4th separate time you’ve said you will never respond to me again lol.
So why aren’t we making all cars with a 10km\h speed limiter. This would end all road deaths OVERNIGHT.
Because despite what everyone says when asked people really are willing to trade a few lives for massively increased convenience.
Pollution from burning fossil fuels also kills many people prematurely, so we should ban all use of fossil fuels tomorrow to save those lives as well, shouldn’t we?
You jest but road safety is moving constantly towards that.
Last millennia, NSW road speed limits were all 20km/h apart 60,80,100 and 110 for the freeway.
That was far too dangerous so we now have 20,40,50,60,70,80,90,100 and 110 so they can gradually reduce the speedlimits virtually everywhere in the name of safety.
The obvious endpoint of this logic is everywhere having a 10km\h speed limit.
Suspect They are going to work really hard to find a fit 20-smthg whose death they can pin on the virus.
this would be a very useful thing for putting the frighteners into folks and getting them to take the experimental jab. Which they need to be made to take, in order for the population importation to recommence properly
Cool story.
–trust the science !
–yeah but the CFR is 0.02%
-Look at this anecdote !
😂 🤣 😂 🤣
Thanks for the laugh!
🤡 🌎 indeed
one death?!?! oh no, that’ll show us! will it be an obese 95 year old with terminal brain cancer?
The caeavt was “first” you cherry picking cunt.
How’s the bin scabbing going?
Seventy-nine per cent of the people in hospital are unvaccinated. The five people who are fully vaccinated are the residents of SummitCare who are in hospital as a precaution.
Four people in hospital have received their first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine and one has received their first dose of Pfizer.
“So in summary, no-one who has received two doses is in hospital, and that’s a key message with this Delta variant,” Dr Chant said.
“We do need to have two doses of the vaccine, and two doses of either the AstraZeneca or Pfizer vaccine is incredibly effective at preventing hospitalisation and death, with is an incredibly positive contribution.
hang on
only 8% of Australia is fully vaccinated
so the fully vaccinated make up more than their expected share of the hospitalised
and the partially vaccinated (18%) also make up roughly their share of the hospitalised
these people are either liars or idiots
Shut the fck up with your anti-vax rants. How many times do u have to post the same shit over and over? Seriously we all get it – you’re terrified of the potential side effects….you fkn pussy. So typical of the losers from MB. Hope u get covid and die….kunt
^
You anti vax phaggots probably resemble that four eyed dyke with your low testosterone levels. And isn’t sasha a girls name? 😂
—————————————————————————- ⬆️
I’ll teach you something today.
Sacha/Sasha is a Russian boys name, short for Alexander.
Your name in Russian would translates to сука блять.
ok borat no one cares what it means in russia. The rest of the world recognises it as a girls name…which is quite fitting for a bish like u
Just for the slower among us, bitch isn’t actually blocked here, nothing is as far as I know…
nor is the word cunt. But I like to use bish for poetic effect…u kunt
Your haiku needs much work.
So much bukkaki getting in the way.
Because you’re such a jerk.
u weak kunt. Go play with ur spreadsheets u limp wrist phaggot
Very underwhelmed with your poetic effect.
A bit of free advice.
It makes you sound like a retarded 12 year old ranting wile his parents are out.
But if that’s what you’re going for…
🧐
This is what makes me laugh, you cunts think you’re so smart and above petty squabbling but always revert to 4chan memes when it comes to the crunch and mire yourselves down in back and forth shit posting. It’s hilarious.
Looks like I wasn’t dealing with W@F here?
Can’t tell anymore what is going on and who is who.
Anyway…
The side effect of vaccination that matters most is the reopening of the borders to mass immigration when the population is sufficiently vaccinated. May the Australian people continue to send their coded message.
That’s what I’m doing. No horrible death by blood clothing immigrants for me!
How is your recovery going?
Pretty good, thanks for asking. Still got some minor bleeding,but it’s not running out my nose any more so life is almost normal.
And my breathing is so much easier, which means better sleep and my sense of smell is returning also.
Definitely worth it.
Good to hear!
Now we’re up to 489 cases in this recent outbreak, not one single death. Even your bog standard flu strain would have knocked a few people off by now.
Magically the people in ICU keep getting younger. Tomorrow I expect the health czar to announce that a fœtus is in ICU, the rabid woke media will ask if we just can’t abort it to stop the spread.
So 1 in 498 die from the flu???
Sorry, even lower threshold lol, 1 in 489
Can’t say I’ve ever understood the comparisons with influenza.
2017 was one of the worst flu seasons in Australia, and even then the death rate was 3.9 per 100,000 cases (this is from the ABS, although the link stuffed my previous post)
Influenza has its highest mortality rate in the elderly, which is why vaccination recommendations are extremely targeted and usually only limited to those over 65, or with significant risk factors. Funnily enough in the dictator state it was made mandatory for the healthcare workers but it has never actually been enforced.
Looking at Covid on a worldwide scale (eg. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/), there have been 4m deaths in 186m caes – that works out to around 2000 deaths per 100,000 cases.
Considering Australia in isolation, there have been 910 deaths per 31,000 cases which equates to 2900 deaths per 100,000.
While it’s not unreasonable to think that some Covid deaths could be attributed to other causes, but if that was the case for Covid to have a similar mortality to the flu it would mean that all but only 1.25 of those 910 deaths were correctly reported. Now we obviously can’t have 0.25 of a death, so 1 in 31,000 cases gives a mortality of 3.22/100,000 and 2 gives 6.22/100,000 cases. Either way, that still relies on the assumption that 99% of the reported Covid deaths were incorrect which feels like far too long of a bow to draw.
Interesting numbers, thanks.
so seems like it’s worse than the flu, but not as bad as Ebola or anthrax.
how does it compare to malaria?
Malaria is interesting because the spread of the disease relies on mosquito transmission and is relatively restricted to equatorial regions. While there’s lots of relatively cheap prevention strategies (eg. insecticides, mosquito nets) and effective drug treatments that have averted millions of deaths, poorer countries still tend to struggle dis-proportionally more.
A quick look on Wikipedia gives numbers of 409k deaths from 229m new cases (WHO, 2019), and this works out to 178 deaths per 100,000. Remember reading somewhere that a large proportion of those deaths were in children under 5, which also fits in with lower SES countries having poor hygiene standards and health systems.
Thanks – appreciate that it needs mosquitoes to spread, and not directly person to person.
that aside, looks like the numbers of cases are of the same order of magnitude, but deaths are about an order of magnitude apart.
But the victims of malaria are kids who lose 50+ years of life whereas the victims of teh COVID are older people who lose perhaps <10 years of life…
From the abs I get 2000-4000 deaths per year for influenza and pneumonia. link
We currently have 910 deaths from a year and a half from covid.
Currently flu and pneumonia typically kills twice as many people as covid has so should we lock down forevermore to prevent these deaths as well? There is no better flu vaccine coming.
Edit:
and by some sort of miracle, the abs stats and NSW stats I did below get you to the same approximate conclusion. What are the odds? It’s like it is the reality or something
I’ve also got to wonder about 3.9 per 100,000 CASES when we are at 10 per 100,000 POPULATION deaths in the stats I saw both federal and NSW
This is the ABS link I found for 2017 – 1255 deaths, 3.9 per 100,000 cases due to influenza. https://bit.ly/3hYEzNW
Your 2019 ABS link is quite interesting, but as it’s influenza and pneumonia it includes a range of different conditions under J10-J18 from the ICD 10 classification.
One has to keep in mind that not all pneumonia is of a viral origin, hence it is not really an accurate comparison to include it as “just the flu” the way most people commonly understand it.
J15 (https://icd.who.int/browse10/2010/en#J15) refers to bacterial pneumonias, which are often picked up in hospitals. J17 refers to pneumonia in diseases classified elsewhere, includes pneumonias of fungal (mycoses), and parasitic infections – again, not really the “just the flu.”
Would have been good to see a more detailed breakdown of the latest stats, but there’s nothing that can be done about the limitations of the data at the current state.
Ah, crappy keyboard typos – ABS includes J09 as well, which includes both swine and bird flu.
3.9 per 100,000 people in the population, not cases I think you will find. 2000 deaths was 10 per 100,000 people, not cases. Unless you are saying that 100% of the population get it in a single year the death rate is much higher than 3.9/100,000 cases.
edit: confirmed from the link.
no but a few every year die from it, what’s the covid death total?
Do we lock the country down every year to prevent the flu?
nsw flu death stats
seems to be about 10/100,000 for all ages fairly constantly for the last 20 years. so 100/million, 2100 deaths a year.across australia at that rate for 21 million population 1998-2018.
What’s the covid death count presently?
Does the response to covid seem proportional to the level of death relative to that from flu?
EDIT:
Let me answer that for you.
910 deaths, in a year and a half. Less than a typical flu year.
That seems like justification for removing the rights of the entire population, doesn’t it?
Far out you’re a wanker lol.
Do you think that the 910 deaths would’ve increased or decreased if they had let it rip through the population unchecked like the flu?
u dunce
do you think the 2000 from flu would increase or decrease?
Are people who die from the flu unworthy of doing whatever we can to prevent it.
Top point, well done.
You’ve put me in my place with that razor sharp intellect and it’s grasp of relevant data and theories.
razor sharp intellect? you cant even reply to the correct person, u dunce
No, I just don’t spam thousands of half to one sentence comments because I have nothing better to do…
Or couldn’t you work out the first half was for you.
My bad for assuming you had some sort of intelligence.
There are annual flu shots to mitigate the flu, there was no vaccine at all for covid until 5 months ago…
How well has that vaccine controlled the flu after decades of development and use?
Seeing some sort of potential likely future covid outcome there?
The point you’re missing is we’ve been in lockdowns with covid, it couldn’t be more tightly managed and we still had 910 deaths. To make it a like for like with the flu, how many would be dead if we did nothing? I’m sure there’s modelling out there but I’m sure the number wouldn’t be any lower than 10k, could be 40k, who knows really.
Then everyone would complain about the terrible job the government did…
How well are you going to say the gov did if after 15 years of lockdowns it finally gets out into the community and we get the disaster everyone else got a decade and a half before us as well as 15 years of tyranny.
Who the fuck is talking about 15 years?! Only delusional fuckwits like you.
How can you cunts fail to grasp the timeline of a global pandemic, there’s plenty of historical references.
I asked Coming this and it was rebuffed – how long do you think it would take before we would be back to BAU in this pandemic if we let it rip? It’s not as quick as you think and that’s without considering all the other problems that come with letting it rip.
You’re an angry bloke but I’m with you on this one
You know what finished the reign of EVERY SINGLE GLOBAL PANDEMIC before this one?
ALL THE VULNERABLE PEOPLE HAD ALREADY DIED FROM IT.
Widespread death is the very definition of a pandemic.
It is nothing but hubris to think the outcome is going to be much different this time.
No one is talking about 15 years, but no one was talking about 2 years either and we are rapidly approaching that.
You know how you run a marathon?
One step at a time.
It was 3-6 months 18 months ago, and it will probably be 3-6 months at the start of next winter, and the next, and the next…
Well, the rest of the world that failed to suppress it as much as us and was forced to have it rip are already starting to open up, so less than we are going to lockdown for.
We’re not even half way through this thing and you’re already throwing up revisionist history to suit your narrative. Fuck you are dumb.
I’m gnna enjoy punching your last brain cell out of your skull.
Saturday cunt. Queensport. You called me out, I accept. I’m gnna fuck you up.
As super angry WAF says, only you suggested 15 years of lockdowns. I’m saying play the lockdown card for another 6 months max to improve vaccination rates then time to move on from it and forget about lockdowns. The next real debate is what % should be fully vaccinated before we do it, I would have thought 30-40% is enough but risk adverse doctors will probably say 80% or some such impossibly high target.
I like the first image T. During Covid, we were told to trust the science and yet at the same time, scientists whose pet project was Gain of Function research were straight off the block stating that it wasn’t a lab leak with an absence of evidence. Whilst it may be a remote possibility, doesn’t science suggest we investigate all possible possibilities? The reality of why it wasn’t pursued last year was politics. So basically we have turned science from a quest of higher knowledge into something that is pursued should it align with our ideology.
Yep. One way to think of it is it’s actually Scientism, a sort of cult like acceptance of Big Science as a social good a priori, and then the people within gatekeep to create a highly profitable niche.
The rumours are of course, that most of today’s science is just straight up lies, pushed by the state and it’s proxies for benefits to insiders.
Yes, we’re turning quickly into some sort of totalitarian technocratic corporatocracy, with a weird blend of fascist/socialist/communist/collectivist tendencies.
Where is the time that the government was there to be in the service of the people, not the people serving the government: just pay your tax and shut up peasant!
Never trust the science. The whole reproducibility crisis has demonstrated that much modern science is complete bullshit.
I know a young woman with a PhD in neuroscience who is leaving the field in disgust and retraining in another field. The reason is that she was working in a European university on drug research funded by a big pharma company, and she was being directed to produce bogus experimental results…cherry picking the data to make the drug look better than it was.
And if proper science was being followed, we wouldn’t be doing a mass trial of these new vaccines using the population of the world as test subjects.
This is a good metaphysical link that I came across during the week:
To me the question of whether or not we are living in a simulation is irrelevant, as existence in it is the only reality we will ever experience.
https://www.newyorker.com/books/joshua-rothman/what-are-the-odds-we-are-living-in-a-computer-simulation
An interesting rabbit hole topic one can fall into – the obvious pop culture reference that immediately springs to mind is the Matrix, but was also reminded of free will/determinism debates.

Cheers for that Peachy, philosophy links/podcasts are always welcome!
Such a theory is the product of minds that cannot accept that religion has something to offer.
Not necessarily – science and belief can exist simultaneously, it depends on your relationship to the concept of religion vs science. They are not necessarily exclusive if you see one as provider of factual truth and the other as a behavioural guidebook.
Religion merely says we are in gods simulation. The fundamental result is the same.
It’s just a matter of how you label god and his/her/it’s motivation.
Is it johnny’s ant farm in his bedroom, or some superbeing.
Is there any difference from inside the simulation?
The Nag Hamadi and the myth of the Aeons is perhaps the most interesting reading on this topic, along with a lot of the other Gnosticism.

Can we agree to not feed the trolls please ?
I really think we need to ban the sock puppets
Is there a way to do it ? Or they’re using vpn and proxies
I’m not really IT savvy
While banning sounds like a very embee to do, on the other hand it’s hard to justify allowing people to have multiple accounts. I know there are some sophisticated methods out there to detect this like IP and device matching, although none are totally 100% guaranteed and if someone does want to cause issues for a small site I doubt it’s worth the cost/time/effort.
How about an ignore function then ?
that seems consistent with the libertarian ethos
Lol so we’re back to the same shit that never got settled at the start, to ban or not to ban, ignore functions, up votes/down votes…
I still can’t believe all you precious cunts got rid of the downvotes and now you’re back to trying to censor people when that’s what you all hate about MB.
Hypocrites.
Can remember reading somewhere that such processes were very database intensive (could’ve been in relation to Twitter’s mute function, but not 100% sure) so cost/complexity may still be an issue.
Fortunately, there is a free solution available – we all have the capacity to use our own in-built filtering system (our brains), to ignore posts and not engage with those who we don’t like.
I suggested this months ago but the very same ones who claim to be superior intellects are always the same ones that can’t help themselves and respond everytime then whinge when they can’t hack it any longer.
I’m more than happy to have every single one of my posts ignored and not responded to. What matters to me is that at least one person is on the record here counter posting the absolute bullshit that goes unchecked.
The fact the bait gets taken so often says these cunts either have zero self control or know they are worthless cunts spewing worthless filth. Meh, no skin off my nose.
From the guy spewing expletives and providing no arguments at all.
You are definitely in the shallow end of the gene pool…

Waaawaaaawaaaaa….the macrotards are having a sook. You losers polluted the comments at MB now you’re doing the same here with your circle jerking tendencies.

It’s the only way to blend in with the other EZFKA units.
I also didn’t realise we had Sun God bnich here promoting the armagedddon…
Seconded. While difficult, it’s definitely the best policy.
Why are you here today and not yesterday?
Your racist bullshit and “rapid five” wank not getting as much traction over at MB as you’d like so you came here to be in the circle jerk where you get the positive feedback you crave?
Couldn’t ask for a better example to the question I asked ramjet further up lol. Doesn’t matter about the left/right dichotomy, appears no one likes criticism…..
For the record, I only have one account and I’m not trolling.
If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck…
Keep dribbling cunt, nice fail interpreting the stats further up lol
which stats?
How did I misinterpret?
Do you know anything or are you retarded?
You’re atrempting to compare like for like with influenza when the stats are not comparable. Fuck you’re an idiot
Which stats?
How aren’t they comparable.
Pink elephants fly.

Queensport. Saturday. Get ready.
That would be the best way I agree.
I’ll stop feeding the trolls after this weekend, I hope…
A fascinating read on human evolution and the various branches and a family linages within modern ‘humans’. Basically it is a TLDR version of David Reich’s “Who we Are and How We Got Here”:
https://razib.substack.com/p/out-of-africas-midlife-crisis
5,000 years divergence between Chinese and Swedish?
or is the right way to read it that there is 50,000 years divergence?
No 50,000 years of divergence, because 55,000 years ago the Swedes separated from the linage that continued on to produce the Han Chinese, Anderman Islanders, Papuans and Aboriginals. Some 5,000 years later the Han Chinese then separated from the remainder.
Yeh. Makes sense.
still quite amazing that these two varieties are only 50,000 years apart.
Turnips and Oranges!??! I think there is more than 50,000 years between them lol
That @nytimes advertisment for a South East Asia Correspondent, highlights exactly how the media is so biased, and so culturally controlled as to specifically present only a single viewpoint – the ‘”globalist”‘ viewpoint.
Ironically it reminds me of Noam Chomsky’s observation to an earnest reporter, who had been slightly offended at Chomsky’s implication that he was part of the elites controlling the worlds narrative. The reporter asked Noam the question why he thought that he, the reporter, was part of the elites, to which Chomsky replied (I will paraphrase as I can’t be bothered looking up the exact words):
It is one of the reasons that I believe all news is simply leftist propaganda, in the case Govt news authorities or neoliberal propaganda in the case of corporate news authorities.
Every viewpoint we read in the msm has been through an inordinate number of filters, starting with the political views of the person they choose to hire for the job.
This really grinds my gears.
Here we have the SMH, one of the top msm news outlets in the nation, politically and economically attempting to assassinate an Australian citizen, simply for the misfortune of appearing in the back ground of a notorious photo as an eighteen or nineteen year old.
Lucy Manly, being this beady eyed, asymmetric faced, carpet licking medusa has taken it upon herself to destroy some successful guy with her destructive feminine sense of cosmic equity.
This vindictive manatee has socially and commercially destroyed a successful businessman, charging, trialing and convicting him on nothing more than a photo and her contrived judging moral nature.
Her ignorance and biases is on display right from the opening paragraph:
The only thing more twisted than her face is her moral positioning. Happy to mention the violent aftermath, but won’t bring herself to mention the trigger – that the reason these ‘patriots’ were so enraged was after a bunch of out of town Lebs beat the fucking shit out of a local volunteer life saver (see how these group thinking globalists have turned ‘patriot’ into a slur).
Through lies and obfuscation, the mainstream media in Australia have turned the Cronulla riots into their postcard racist trope to bash existing Australians over the head whenever they dare mention or complain about having to live alongside violent, ethnocentric immigrants.
“Look at the racist fucks in Cronulla. You don’t want us to make you into our next example of a ‘racist Australian’, do you now?”

I certainly hope the next time that sea cow needs saving the Australian life savers just let her drift out to sea.
Not really on point, but here’s an article allegedly by an insider of ‘Wokeania’ that has grown tired of the wokesters hypocrisy and wants to expose it.
Talks about the absolute fear among trendy/famous people of being caught on the ‘wrong’ side of ‘acceptable opinion’.

It’s never been more true today. An interesting case study is News journalist Sophie Elsworth, who has incurred the wrath of the Twitter masses after criticising Dictator Dan for months and has now been accused of double standards after deleting her these tweets as Gladys utilises similar measures for NSW.
People have long memories, keeping screenshots and are more than prepared to sink the boot in.
eg. https://twitter.com/ChrisMac1270/status/1413448447747756037
Regardless of whether you agree with her views or not, the move towards holding journalists to a higher standard of accountability was inevitable.
Just noticed the Kamala “Old Dick” gag and had to laugh.
Last week had a random discussion with somebody who reminded me that years ago when Sarah Palin was a Republican VP candidate they made a bunch of porn parodies with lookalike Lisa Ann.
Would think that surely there should be something similar for K Harris, even though it’s probably not to everyone’s taste. However, it turns out that the left leaning adult industry have had their reservations and probably don’t want to poke the bear.

Loads to come. LoL. 😊
wow a 90 year old died of covid in nsw
I was waiting for ya. You were damn close with your call.
No
died WITH Covid
if they’re not going to own the 355 vaccine deaths, they shouldn’t freely claim these either
Sad even at that age, given she probably died alone and apart from any family.
She got it from a family contact. She was probably dying anyway and decided it was best to go with family around her instead of cowering in fear.
Epidemiologist Tony Blakely warned the restrictions are not tough enough and suggested the city should be placed into a much tougher lockdown with soldiers patrolling the streets.
Dr Blakely said the state government had three options: Let the Covid-19 outbreak circulate in the community, continue with a partial lockdown, or deploy troops and police to patrol the streets.
‘The third option is the only one. It’s very hard to say those words: ‘We’re going into a hard lockdown, we’ve called in the military, the police and we are going to police it,’ he told news.com.au.
absolute insanity
Get out and protest if you disagree
what’s the point, protesters just get bashed by the cops
That’s the point, you cunts need a good flogging lol.
This also brings up another funny point. All you cunts hang shit on lefties and blm and antifa etc yet they’ve got more stones than any of you faux men, they go out and stand up for what they believe in.
All you cunts can do is be your true selves here and talk shit and then live a lie out in public.
yeah but blm and antifa arent getting bashed by the cops fuck wit, the georrge floyd protests world wide last year were less protests and more victory laps with blm flexing its social power. nobody opposed them when they took to the streets in melbourne and sydney
lockdown protesters are few, maligned and will immediately be opposed and stopped by a heavy police presence
absolute dog shit analogy from a dog shit brained man
Dribble dribble dribble. Go protest you gutless faggot
Agree. These low T phaggots have probably never been in a fist fight in their whole life. A bunch of pale skin internet dweebs. Especially that weak cunt stewie. That fker needs a good bashing

Would you like to meet up for lunch?
I feel we could have a constructive conversation.
you gonna wine and dine him? Im guessing you’re not getting much luck on Plenty of Fish so have moved onto dating guys now 🤣😂🤣
If I recall correctly someone on MB found your PoF profile…and a skinny 60 yr old posing as a millennial wouldnt be much chop in a punch up.
On a side note- given your age and physical state you’d think you would appreciate the covid vaccines. Lets see if its just the flu, u tosser!
have you been huffing paint again?
love to know when i said i was either a millenial or 60.
Ands whats pof, some kind of poof dating network you are on?
Look here u silly old cunt –
https://www.macrobusiness.com.au/2017/12/steve-keen-slams-bitcoin/#comment-3019783
You truly are an utter fkn retard. And a pathetic looking one from what I remember of your PoF profile. No wonder the ladies recoil when they see u 😂
Seems like bjw is 100% right. About not being a millennial or 60. And about Keen being dead fucking wrong in Bitcoin.
ahahahhahahahahahahah
Whats to laugh at? Your self built “community” is filled with rancid cunts who are now turning on each other. A few more weeks of this Sydney shiz and even stagmal will give up his rhetoric.
Lunch lol. Stop ducking faggot and say what you mean. If ya wanna fight, Queensport Hotel is where I’m at on weekends, fair warning though, it’s a rough joint.
At least you have more braincells than sacha.the braindead moron, I was thinking you were the same person given you bot h spout the same rubbish.
edit: and either it isn’t a rough joint or you are a massive hypocrite and don’t act like this in public, as I was implying.
My online persona is exactly like my real life persona. I use foul language and call out bullshit when I see it.
You are a fuckwit. Come down the Queensport and find out for yourself lol
😢
Aaaaaaaaahahahhahahaha
i totally agree! Sasha is an A grade moron! With a girl’s name to boot!
😂🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
See mang, you all thought it was just me upsetting the apple cart when in reality there’s plenty of angst amongst you lot, a little bit of a stink and people start showing their true colours and turning on each other lol. suck a fat bag of dicks
It is very obvious that govt is not going to let the virus spread before the election, and before everyone has had the opportunity to get vaccinated. Yet here you are ironically carrying on like an outraged DLS arguing about where house/bitcoin/oil prices should be.
Everything you typed is incorrect
That is exactly what DLS would say. Not sure if serious.
You won’t shit in it? How many times have you shit in this Weekend Links page with separate posts on the same topic?
The trial balloon was a brain fart from a few politicians. There is absolutely no way in hell they will let it rip just a few weeks away from receiving tens of millions of vaccine doses.
You forget the LNPs #1 voters are all the old people you are willing to kill. LNP have a choice of losing the election by letting it rip, or guaranteeing themselves election victories for the next decade.
How can I shit in a page that’s for free initiation of conversation ?
see how people are liking my posts ? And discussing ?
see how I posted about something noncovid related and no one gave a shit ?
https://www.ezfka.com/2021/07/09/weekend-links-10-11-july-2021/#comment-6550
how about if you don’t like it, instead of replying , you just go fuck yourself instead ?
Lol triggered bitch
Oh the hypocrisy
Pot kettle bud, you were still replying to mod week comments yesterday and then came in here and lost your mind spam replying (just like I am now lol)
I am also free to reply. So how about you take your own advice?
cool
im going to start shit posting too
let’s see if we can wreck this place
my advice is to ignore anything you’re not interested in
not fling shit around like an autistic retarded 10 year old ala winning @ failing
Still waiting for you to respond to the questions I asked you. But true to form just like a year ago, when I catch you out making shit up or prove you wrong you deflect and revert to ignoring me. This time actually stay true to your word or you’ll just keep proving me right that you are a hypocrite and full of shit
Care to point out, using actual maths, rather than bluster and bullshit how I misinterpreted the stats above?
Or should I assume year 8 maths is beyond you?
Gouda already did.
Gouda can’t read english or do maths correctly, unless we had 30,000,000 cases of flu in australia in 2017 or whatever year the stats are for.
1200 deaths per 30 million is 1 death per 30,000,000/1200
= 1 death per 25,000 people in australia,
approx 4 deaths per 100,000 people in australia.
unless we happen to have 1 case per person per year of flu.
Would you like me to get the crayons out so you can understand it.
Saturday. Queensport.
I also said I wasn’t going to reply to the retard
Lol replying by proxy is replying. I guess I’m the retard and you’re the genius hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
shit poo cunt fuck splat throw chortle.
You don’t merit civilised or complex language. You are a stupid cunt who is losing your mind and being irrational over completely normal and required action to control a global pandemic.
Get fucked.
lol. you are arguing a point about your incorrect early high school maths. And I’m the irrational one…
expletives are always the recourse of someone who deep down knows they are wrong but can’t stand to admit it.
See ya saturday at the Queensport.
You’re brave behind a keyboard cock muncher.
I’ll book a boxing ring in sydney, let me know when you’ve got a ticket and I’ll organise it.
This reeks of desperation to me. I never believed the vaccine numbers and we know the covid case and death tolls are bullshit too. How long until EZFKA gets the same?
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/ignore-no-soliciting-signs-use-your-script-vaccine-door-knocking-documents-revealed
You have proof case numbers and deaths are bullshit?
Or you’re just dribbling shit??
Classic illustration of how the goalposts are constantly shifted
>80% of the US population aged 50+ is already vaccinated
why do they need to continue door knocking ?
the curve is flattened
anyone who wants the vaccine has had it
clear illustration that it’s not about public health , it’s about control and fear
Agree. I still don’t believe the vaccine uptake is anywhere near that, but the devil is in the details. They’ll be putting people on lists and making notes on people’s behaviour. It’s an Intel and data gathering exercise in disguise.
What will happen here is the election will be called once everyone has had the chance to be vaccinated. Once the election is over the borders will be opened. The percent vaccinated will no longer be relevant at this stage.
This is my exact thinking if LNP wins. But on the off chance ALP wins do you still think the same?
The ALP will do the same, but in a more staged manner.
And for “staged” you can substitute “duplicitous”.
I feel sorry for labor, I really do. They are really burdened by their name and it’s obsolete historical implications.
By having to continually pay lip service to the historical demons, they are really disadvantaged in the competition for EZFKA top posts.

Cronulla was in response to Lebos beating up people and lifeguards at the beach.
That part is always conveniently omitted.

https://gizmodo.com/32-angry-consumer-complaints-to-the-ftc-about-binance-1847200156
Some of the comments at the bottom of the article are pretty indicative of the reason why I’ve stayed well away from such exchanges. You can expand the article to see even more.
Nick fuentes deplatformed by the Adl. But remember, they’re terribly oppressed and have no power.

Same with LGBTQ, these people are supposedly so oppressed and have to fight for their rights.
How can you call yourself a grassroots movement when your views are fully endorsed by the biggest corporations?
Who has the power really?
Nick is a twat, but ADL are an evil anti-white, anti-Christian hate group masquerading as an ‘anti-racist’ foundation.
Just got called a troll on EmBee by DLS. The idiot thinks we can have cheap gas and emission reductions. It is like low interest rates won’t cause house price increases. Why would anyone part with $200 a year to hear the words of a lunatic?
“Troll” is a good start. With a bit of effort you can graduate to “astroturfer”! 😆
Your analogy to cheap money and low house prices is a good one. In theory it is possible to have cheap money and low house prices through regulation. In EZFKA practice, there is MPLOL.
In theory it is also possible to have low gas prices and low emissions through regulation (eg emissions permits/abatement certificates). InEZFKA practice, this will only happen if Angus Taylor and his mates first buy up the permits/certificates!
If you both work hard enough you two might even receive his highest denigration – being called a fascist.
I need to aim higher. I have only received troll status.
You’re all not trying, you need to get outright banhammered for pointing out the end of a graph in the article is still up 400% even though it peaked at 1000% up very politely.
That seems to REALLY piss him off. Every single time I got banhammered it was for very politely pointing out idiocy in plain sight.
Why be polite, DLS is never nice to anyone. After he called me a troll, I looked at his tweets. He is a full on troll.
I am sure it will be a bit of effort, but someone has to point out their stupidity. DLS has only ever been a trader or business writer. EmBee is just his opinions with little research into the nuances of how things actually work. I guess from Coming’s comment, he doesn’t even do research, just copy people’s links.
Didn’t think that disagreeing with someone was considered trolling.
Using gallows language was also fair game considering its use in the text of the article.
But “Subscribe!” and MPLOL is always good for a laugh.
In all honesty, this is probably better value:
https://twitter.com/tandigi/status/1414402240098586628/photo/1
I think embee have substandard marketing. Received an ad for a small caps investment newsletter which is $4 a week – only a cup of coffee, yet in total about the same cost as an embee subscription and a less obvious hit to the hip pocket.
Their twitter engagement is also abysmal with posts often having no likes/retweets at all. Can recall someone pointing out their lack of hashtags – think the were told to fuck off and subscribe.
Some way to run a business: abuse all potential customers.
They seem to think they should follow the MSM model, be a propaganda outfit and not give a fuck about customers.
Only problem is they don’t seem to be corporate friendly so I don’t think it is working all that well for them.
They are very thin skinned especially when I said their Covid coverage is bad. Their point of differentiation has been their articles against mass immigration, but given more are popping lately within MSM, they don’t really have a niche and DLS is a liability, so the end has to be soon.
End definitely will be soon, they have banned or pushed away all the quality commenters and now have to live or die on the quality of their copy/paste articles.
The massive increase in subscribe!! and freeloader posts from DLS makes me think the thing is not making any profit at the moment and possibly a loss.
Yet he continues to blame the customer and not his product.
just remember re: this ‘outbreak’
there’s been one fucking death from it. one. fucking. death. a woman in her 90s, they didnt specify anything else about her health besides that. god knows what else was wrong with her.
how many deaths from heart disease in sydney bc ppl are fat disgusting fucks has there been in the last 3 days?
And as suspected look how hard they are pushing the vaccines now, especially the AZ.
Watching these press conferences every day it’s sad to see what a bunch of softcocks the media are. All they do is whine about not being locked down harder.
And? What’s your point?
You also conveniently omitted hospitalisations, which are growing…
The question is can these hospitalisation ever be avoided, or merely delayed.
And how much should be expended to try to prevent them?
From the flu death dataset above, whole population deaths was around 10/100,000 but over 65’s was up to 150/100,000.
We didn’t do much then, so why the panic now?
Simple. the same reason far more people are worried about plane accidents than car accidents.
People treat risks they are regularly accepting as having a much lower likliehood than a novel risk they don’t take regularly even f the reality is they are both equally risky.
People over all aren’t particularly logical.
See W@F wanker arguing I got the statistics wrong without bothering to actually check them for himself. It’s really easy maths if you bother to do it, but feels.
All 5 of the fully vaccinated are in hospital “as a precaution”
so I suspect nearly all of the current inpatients don’t really need to be there
it’s theatre
Fuck you’re dumb. The numbers, per se, weren’t wrong – it’s the ham fisted attempt to compare like for like things that are not like for like.
You are completely unhinged in your denial of reality.
My favourite part of this whole thing is how you wanted to have “lunch” but the second I offered you up an opportunity for a knuckle sandwich you bactracked. Gutless.Faggot.
See you in sydney arsehole.
Or are you too chickenshit.
I can organise a boixing ring to avoid legal repurcussions…
Wtf, you invited me to “lunch” and you aren’t even in Qld?! So you are all just talk and grandstanding.
Fuckin spastic lol. When Sydney sorts its shit out I’ll come down for a holiday. Boxing ring not required, my venue of choice is the car park at Lakemba mosque lol.
Why would I know or care where an idiot like you lived?
You are the king keyboard warrior dipshit too scared to even leave his house cause you might get covid.
Why offer to go to “lunch” if you didn’t know where I lived? You’re the one that broached a face to face, I didn’t bring it up, but boy how quick you changed once I accepted the challenge lol. You’re the keyboard warrior dickhead, you offered a face to face you never truly intended to attend – textbook keyboard warrior.
I leave the house everyday for work, meanwhile you’re stuck in lockdown in Sydney and judging by the amount of time you spend having meltdowns on the internet you’re staying safe and sound inside because you’re either scared of the virus or the govt. Lol what a gutless faggot.
See ya in Lakemba
Iike for like is 1200 flu deaths versus 700ish covid deaths in the population in a year.
That is the ONLY like for like comparison that can be made with available data because we quite simply have NEVER TESTED FOR FLU INFECTION RATES at anything like covid test rates EVER.
At least gouda appears to have tacitly admitted he was wrong by not coming in here trying to defend his mistake.
You presented a false binary. How about just reducing the hospitalisations… Via the vaccine… you’re presenting arguments like it’s still 2020, and there are no vaccines right around the corner. By Xmas I’d expect us to be close enough to being able to open without lockdowns and accept a higher hospitalisation rate then.
” By june 2021 I’d expect us to be close enough to being able to open without lockdowns and accept a higher hospitalisation rate then.”
Was the argument made xmas 2020.
How come life becomes less valuable when we reach 50% vax rate?
Because suddenly you aren’t too scared to live your life anymore?
Serious question, what is your proposed course of action if a new variant comes out that is just as lethal to vaccinated people as unvaxed, much like new mutations of the flu?
Lockdown for another 18 months to develop a new vax?
…and all the while with these vaccines we’ll be training our immune system to respond to a protein spike on the surface of the virus which it uses to attach to a protein spike on the surface of our cells in order to unzip them to gain entry.
God knows how many critical cellular functions also happen to use that same protein spike to gain access to our cells, and that we might be fucking up by training our immune system to respond to these virus spikes, but that’s okay because ‘science’ enables us to make a vaccine that is harmless for 99.9 percent of the population under 50.
These mRNA vaccines are not new- they have been around for a while and despite repeated applications for approval were never passed because of unexpected immune responses in young people, and the general lack of efficiency they have in preventing the virus from infecting you anyway.
Who the fuck knows what is the long term impact of these new vaccines – cancer, auto immune disease, fertility issues. Anyhow, go right ahead and get your injections.
Don’t get me wrong I agree with your sentiments, there will come a time when we have to grind forward and accept we’ll live with the virus -but not until more people are vaccinated to mitigate the fallout. It’s the least worse option.
If A new variant comes out that existing vaccines don’t respond to, we’ll be in a similar situation to the flu where there will be annual boosters. Again, least worst option.
Letting it rip now is just callous but whenever vaccination rates are high enough, say 40%, it’s probably then time to move on.
I feel like this is what was the conclusion and resolution of all the debates on this at MB last year.
The commonsense approach minus all the irrational extrapolation.
The one point I think everyone is forgetting too is that flu comes back all the time due to the avian reservoir. Covid *could potentially* be completely eradicated. All current transmission is human to human and depending on how it got into humans may mean it can go away.
And there you go, a nice clean post. All of the arguments have been had and when I see the same inane hypotheticals being rehashed over and over when we’ve already discussed them you can guarantee I’ll tee off on the person doing it, especially if it’s straight up denial. Sure some minor new developments happen but as 90kw has detailed the end goal has stayed pretty much the same. The LNP have stuffed up the vaccines and quarantine, that’s what’s holding us back.
For all the fears of govt overreach post covid, no the “normies” won’t take it laying down, I’ll be the first over the barricades if required. No point doing your head in until you need to though.
My personal approach was to wait for vaccines, see what happens then get one. AZ/Pfizer are a bit on the nose for me so 1st choice is novavax, if can’t get that then I’ll settle on pfizer and the 97% avoidance of death from/with covid. Still all talk though, LNP haven’t got me eligible yet.
And seriously, long term effects from the jab?! Most of you old fogies will be dead before they kick in and I’ll die from alcohol induced illness of some variety as will many other posters here and at MB. The vaccine for me is just to get more years of partying in before the sweet dirt nap.
End of gunna style rant
Yes, it’s the common sense approach versus the freedom at all costs approach really once you break it down. No society can function with people doing whatever the fuck they please to the detriment of others. There are boundaries, rules, requirements sometimes people must abide by for the common good.
The common sense approach is requiring these new vaccines to pass the same testing as all others have had to for the last 30+ years, but this would take 5-10 years…

I posted this link above
what’s the chance DLS is lurking here, looking for material to steal
While sobbing quietly
I did suggest that you behave like DLS :-p
Call everyone a troll/astroturfer/fascist and then ask them to subscribe?
Wouldn’t be a shock, as for years had noticed a pattern where people would put a link in the comments section then it’d suddenly become the focus of a new article without any acknowledgement whatsoever.
Unsurprisingly, some of those poster who did that rarely share links anymore and appear to have moved on.
Yep can think of a couple of times where he took a link and idea that I’d shared in comments. A few days later he had recycled it as an article of his own.
Strange, huh?
It’s not as if a hat-tip even costs anything.
Not in this instance. More the case Coming has discovered Macrovoices recently and not realising it’s popularity.

Clearly the population are too soft or too stupid to understand the sentiment that these days.
Group female angst and neuroticism over the possibility of death and/or injustice, is the leading factor behind the escalation of these hysterical narratives and the destructive pursuit of unobtainable equity of outcome.
BTW – Marxism is an ideology that arose out of one of the few cultures in the world where in group tribalism is determined by the matriarchal line.
today I discovered MGTOW. Do you have thoughts on this, Lord Stewie?
My Queen Peach, you ask a question and I am compelled to answer for I am but a humble servant in your presence.
Please forgive my honesty and candor within the answer that follows, it is meant as no offense, to either you or all of woman kind who are filled with so many wonderful qualities and contributions as individuals to us mere men’s daily lives, that the thought of living without you would be truly horrifying.
MGTOW is IMHO an inevitable reaction or consequence of the “liberation” of women and like everything else in our society which once use to be ruled and governed by custom is now governed by the market place, or in this case the sexual market place.
Here something of a natural ratio asserts itself – basically women’s desires when given the ‘freedom’ to ply her wears is towards the highest bidder – this behaviour is referred to as hypergamy, which is the ‘action of marrying or forming a sexual relationship with a person of a superior sociological or educational background.’ stated simply, women when given the freedom will choose to marry up.
Unfortunately there are not enough ‘upper’ men to satisfy all of the sisterhood’s collective desires to marry up, as the availability of males with sufficient , wealth or education is insufficient.
Consequently the law of 80:20 tends to emerge, where 20% of the males secure 80% of the female interest.
The long term result is that 20% of guys secure mates. It follows that in return 20% of women are (un)lucky enough to secure a bloke whose fucked tons of chicks and has a relatively low commitment level and knows that the moment the kids start being a pain he can probably fuck off and secure another relationship with ease.
For the remainder a class of life long spinsters start emerging, the stereotypical leftist cat lady, whose transferred all her neurotic energies in ensuring her kids are fairly treated and provided for, to society instead. Progressive timelines are jam packed with these sort of women, tweeting in this cause or that, obsessing over imprisoned refugee Lotharios while hating on all those high status white boys who used, abused and left her sitting on the shelf. Typified by ‘Rachel‘.
Meanwhile the remaining 80% of blokes who participate in these sexual marketplaces become disillusioned and resentful (as reflected in the comments beneath the ‘Rachel’ link). They become resentful not only of the marketplace, but of women themselves. They either end up a incels, going their own way, or if lucky and fortunate stumble into a relationship.
Note however that I said in respect of people participating in the sexual marketplace. Some people do, but others, especially those whose cultural values preclude them from participating in such a way, or where prudence, chastity (to a degree) are expected or encouraged, instead find a higher likelihood of mate selection from traditional methods. Family, friends, community, etc.
It is a fact that societies that are built around monogamous, long term relationships are both the most successful and the most stable.
Indeed the Oxford social anthropologist Joseph D. Unwin wrote a treatise in 1934 called ‘Sex and Culture‘ based on the 80 primitive tribes he studied (when they were still literally primitive) and 6 civilizations through 5,000 years of history and claimed there was a positive correlation between the cultural achievement of a people and the sexual restraint they observed.
According to Unwin, after a nation becomes prosperous it becomes increasingly liberal with regard to sexual morality, and as a result it loses its cohesion, its impetus and its purpose. The effect, he believed was irrevocable:
When you take a look at our culture today and the change in asperations of the young, from being an Astronaut or Mother, in the 1960’s, to having an ‘YouTube’ channel or ‘Only Fans’ account in the present, there certainly seems to a be a lot of truth to his observation. My personal belief, which I have made many times before, is that I believe our civilization is no longer moving forward under power, rather it is coasting on the achievement of earlier generations…. sooner or later we are going to run out of momentum.
Societies can limp along with sexual market places for a while. With a strong enough society a single mum can raise a child, this gets harder as society starts failing in its purpose. But a determined women can always have a kid if she so wishes. Not so for man.
As a mating strategy it can work for a women for a while, they can often adequately raise a child – but over the longer term ACROSS generations it is less effective, as boys from single mothers will have to work twice as hard in life to generally attain the sociological standing to secure their own mate, otherwise they risk becoming the increasingly angry, middle age, single men that we are increasingly familiar with….
Finally I will state once again, that the individual is always different from the group, however the behaviours of the group and their influence are far more certain and predictable than the behaviours of an individual – it is not immoral to make decisions on the basis of collective behaviour.
Quite simply, if sexual permissiveness offered any social advantages to a society, then just as with other ideas set free by Chesterton’s gate such as cultural diversity or women’s liberation, history would be splendid with towering civilizations of achievement, founded and lead by women and filled with licious, deviantly permissive sexual freedoms.
The fact is, history is not filled with MultiCult, sexually liberal Matriarchies, it is instead it is filled with many examples of great civilizations become the ‘whore of Babylon’.

More than 300.
Well done all!
So on one hand you hate the sock puppets and the trolling but on the other you are happy they helped get the comment count over 300 on a “weekend” article that ran from Friday-Monday.
Fuckin supreme logic abounds here. Shit, you people are tarded.
Thank you for your contribution W@F!
I’m all for profits and eyeballs.
Controversy works.
Therefore I propose a daily ‘Covid Update’ page at EZFKA where we can all come together and discuss the latest statistics and scientific developments.
So now under pressure ATAGI is going to suggest everyone can have the killer AZ vaccine. Look out kids, if you don’t get vaccinated there’s a hightened risk you’ll catch this deadly Delta variant, the one with a 100% survival rate for those under 90.
Fuckin epic fail bud, going off half cocked seems to be standard for you deniertards.
