Why the proles will not revolt

The proles are either the offspring of legacy EZFKA units or recent imports. Recent imports will be put down if they revolt, and most are factory seconds so they are glad to be here almost regardless of conditions. Legacy EZFKA units are usually one of only one or two offspring so the inheritence will see them housed mortgage free eventually. They aren’t going to rock the boat because there’s no reason to.

So why does MB think that “Australian youth may be brainwashed by woke ideology, but at some point, self-interest will kick in. How can they support AlboGreens’ lunacy when they are its number one victim? No housing, lower wages, crush-loaded public services and environmental destruction.”? Why do the commenters assume that the woke brainswashing is the main actuator?

https://www.macrobusiness.com.au/2023/08/albogreens-literally-rip-the-roof-off-their-support-base/

EZFKA units know which side the bread is buttered on.

Now get back to work.

its been cope for a while that most australians arent happy with the current state of australia

65% or so are homeowners or paying off the mortgage, renters are a minority, politically divided, and do not vote along their interests regardless

even if the ezfka units who bought in werent happy with the price they had to pay theyre locked in now, last thing they want is negative equity, why would they revolt

generally most peoples lives aer good enough that they wont revolt no matter what, and those whose lives genuinely suck are powerless or too lazy/povo to do anything

Every Aussie should have a PPOR as part of their portfolio. If it is too expensive to buy, look at a cheaper part of the country or a flat.

You’re on easy street when you’ve got your PPOR paid off. Even if financially it somehow doesn’t work out, you don’t have to deal with property managers.

With what most people earn, there’s just no reason to rent long term.

No1

I think most men will be satisfied living in just about anything and anywhere, but many women simply won’t settle for living outside of a select group of high social status suburbs, this would drain many couples’ finances.

Aussie Soy Boy

No doubt. It’s not easy to find the right one.

No1

It’s quite sad with some of the couples I know… usually the woman is earning much less but pushing her man into taking on the absolute pinnacle of debt available to him because she just can’t live 15 minutes further away from the city or in a suburb that still has bogans.

I mean none of the options are gonna be affordable but one of them is at least financially bearable.

Coming

You just got an Asian one didn’t you ?

OtherBarry

The right house or the right woman?

Stewie

The first one is much easier to find.

Men are like oil. Sure, when introduced into the world in an uncontrolled manner they my cause a disaster but properly processed they contribute to progress of the society. And they become rarer and more expensive as the time goes by.

Women are like oil wells. It takes a tremendous amount of effort to find the right one, drill it, develop it, but there always comes the time where it is more economic to cap it and move on to the next one rather than keep investing in diminishing returns.

Ironic Boomer

There’s no such thing as the right one.

Aussie Soy Boy

There are plenty of reasonably priced properties in the west of Sydney, in Melbourne, but of course if someone wants to live in the most in demand areas in the country then yes it’s going to be impossible to buy and very expensive to rent. Duh! Just have to go without the cool bars and cafes within walking distance. The outer suburbs can force you to save because there’s not really anywhere to go. Eliminates the temptation to waste money on stupid shit you forget about within 15 minutes of arriving home.

stagmal

wouldnt call them truly reasonably priced and often theyre full of scum, but yeah compared to spewtown brunswick etc they’re cost effective

adelaide even more so if you can stomach living there, and i wouldnt mind it

if you want a reasonably priced metro to live in america is the place to go but good luck getting in there or having to deal with yankee bullshit, have to have the mindset for it

Agent 47

This. ‘Save mone’ by living in an outer suburb and the costs are massively outweighed by just about everything else – fuck all infrastructure, higher crime, bigger chance of shittier neighbours etc.

That argument is like the boomers who tell everyone to ‘lower their expectations and live 60 mins from the CBD in some falling apart shit box when there’s fuck all hope or chance of upward mobility.

That being said would go regional in a heartbeat but work/family keeping me in Hellbourne for the time being.

stagmal

wont find a woman either

Aussie Soy Boy

Stay renting then champ if you can’t live without brunch and your $25 omelettes.

With all the money you waste renting you could have paid off a starter home and move into something bigger and better.

Perthians will get this.

Had an article come across my news feed yesterday

https://www.realestate.com.au/news/claremont-land-release-going-gangbusters/

New land release in Claremont! Lot sizes 400 to almost 1000 sqm! Priced between 210K and 300K.

Was going to buy site unseen, but just to google. Tassie, not Perth.

Are we running out of town names in this country?

Stewie

Yeah good observation and post by Robert123, middle class Australia with pre-existing exposure to real estate through their parents will probably inherit enough to get by, especially if there is only one or two kids.

The ones who will cop it in the nuts will be the working poor, high land prices will appear to entrench the divide. But over the longer term the middle class will not escape it either.

Many of those two kids will sacrifice having kids for life style and have 1 or none, over time that middle class with land exposure will atrophy away. The winners will be those who are own enough land to ensure that the and their off spring are positively carried from here to eternity.

The middle class are just as doomed as the lower classes to eventually be turned into tax donkey’s, so while we work, while we plow, while we harvest, it will all go to our elites to they can sit like an effendi and eat.

the arborist

Yep, the middle class is a recent phenomenon and it is only a temporary aberration. Serfdom is the default state and we’ll be there again shortly.

OzCuck

I remember when people shat from a great height on the Castle Hill area (kath & kim anti mcmansion stuff) now it’s one of the most desirable in the country.

So there’s that. The entirety of western Sydney don’t really give a fuck about the easts obsession with suburb snobbery.

Coming

one of the most desirable in the country.

let’s calm it down a bit mate

OzCuck

When you count all the Asians and well enough to do white people it is. Median is about $2.2m now. There’s enough going on that you can live your life around those parts and never put up with the venal and severely class conscious lower north shore and eastern suburbs types ever again.

There’s really fuck all in the city except a fucken Opera House, Harbour and Bridge that everyone’s seen 50 million times. Wank.

It’s pretty Christian too so a decent place to bring up some fairly clean kids.

Coming

that does not make it one of the most desirable in the country

didn’t see mike cannon brookes buying up houses in castle hill

I guess its what poor people can realistically aspire to

stagmal

anywhere mike cannon brookes doesnt want to live is desirable in my book

Coming

dubbo fits the bill then

OzCuck

This. Coming clearly has a taste for land whales with champagne tastes on a beer budget like Bridgeett thingy. He probably thinks the inability to walk more than 350m is aristocratic. What a faggot.

Coming should go and be Alan Jones’ bum boy.

Coming

There’s a lot of examples of trashy things poor people would do if they actually got some money one day

like wearing Gucci or driving a Ferrari

living in castle hill is sort of in that category
not really but it made me think of that

Why haven’t you got off the fags and on to nicotine spray?

OzCuck

Depends how rich you get. Well you could pay $5m for a basic house in Willoughby. Or get 2 McMansions in Castle Hill.

Macquarie Uni and Microsoft is only about a 1/2 hour away.

A lot of people would rather be a king in Castle Hill than a shit kicker in Willoughby.

Coming

why would somebody like you live in castle hill?

what other smoker single losers live in castle hill that you can hang out with?
There’s nowhere for you to go and nothing for you to do

and you don’t need a mcmansion
what are you going to do in all those rooms?

it makes no sense unless you’re a boring plod christian with a few kids and you have a mediocre salary in the range of 200-300k

it isn’t for rich people

OzCuck

For you I’d recommend St Ives. They seem to act pretty posh even though they’re just a bit above middle class. Median 2.8m. Get your polo shirt and boat shoes out. Fag.

Coming

If you’re rich you live in the eastern suburbs (NOT Randwick or Kensington or Waverley )
or some parts of Mosman (golden triangle etc)

next tier down is like northbridge or hunters hill type peninsulas
and maybe the northern beaches
(excl palmy/whale which is strictly for weekenders for the ultra wealthy)

if you’ve got heaps of kids and you’re a medium income white collar wagie then maybe like killara or Wahroonga

big houses near good schools

castle hill is fucking multiple tiers below even there not even in the conversation
but certainly not suitable for any of the childless incels on this website

stagmal

lmao sydney suburb tier lists

god everyone there must be miserable af to be so self conscious of shit like this that doesnt matter

like take vaucluse for instance

super ultra expensive

but its shit

pokey little houses on winding narrow streets, concrete jungle with no trees and nature strip

basically no shops around, shit house traffic

compare to like a 800K house in an upper middle class suburb in some rando american 1m+ metro like kansas city

youd get your own fucking bowling alley in your house for that kind of dough

this is what sydney people aspire to. not even a quality house, just the ability to ‘live’ in some suburb of some b tier pacific economic centre

Coming

Surely you could get that in Dubbo though

why don’t you compare to San Diego or Miami which is more equivalent to Sydney

stagmal

nah bc its all price – income

dubbo price – income ratio is about equal to seattle

a city in america that is considerred notoriously expensive by the standards of that country

Coming

except tha building costs too high here
prbably 200k to build just for one bowling lane in Dubbo or Sydney

the land cost is equivalent Sydney to other premium us cities imo

you pay a premium to live near other rich people so you don’t have to deal with abos, lebs , loud cars, bogans etc

You can’t compare median income

minimum wage in Australia is fucking 23/hr

That’s solid middle class wage in USA

No public health care
Higher land taxes

it’s a totally different society
meaningless to draw comparisons

stagmal

wat you mean average income

median you can compare

hardly anyone in america earns minimum wage its nonsense

stagmal

american wages are better for everyone who isnt a dropkick basically

highest disposable income on earth

go look at american gdp per capita its absurd for a country of its size

its up there with switzerland etc

i dont think australians are aware of the insane material abundance of americans

only eason people misestimate it is bc of black ppl who live in squalor and trash their neighbourhoods

alabama has a higher per capita gdp than japan

Coming

Except America has far more people living in poverty

despite having higher per capita gdp

just shows how differently shaped the curve is there

stagmal

bc of black people dude

imagine if abos were 14% of australia not 3%

stagmal

you wouldnt even be able to leave the house itd be so dangerous

Coming

Sure and if 14% were abos average house prices would be much lower and so would price:income ratios

stagmal

land prices would still be fucked bc immigration = too high, american land prices cant be manipulated like they can in australia bc in aus the mate$ can just firehouse the joint with migrants due to how centralised aus is

america is too decentralised

thats the source of america power, theres like 115+ cities therer with a pop over 500,000

55 over 1million

Some of that GDP per capita is pure rubbish like medical expenses and military spending

All it shows is the US is more line go up than Japan – no big surprise there

stagmal

yeah to an extent this is true and its artifical, but a lot of it really is due to american productivity which is super high both in services and manufacturing

japanese manufacturing is super productive but its service sector is not very, though obviously manu >>> services in importance

No1

How many of those US services actually have any genuine purpose though?

Like in America everyone has to pay for tax services because it’s apparently borderline impossible to file your taxes without using a paid service

That contributes to GDP but is a highly parasitic industry

IMO, the only way a country’s wealth should be determined is via the buying power of the median person. And the US will probably still be ahead of Japan, but that will strip out a lot of the pure line go up hyper-capitalist bullshit that the US is miles ahead of any other country on.

I don’t mean average
most of the comparisons I’ve seen are on median income
but mean is also skewed in USA Vs Australia

USA has more % people earning huge amounts and tiny amounts

Australian is much flatter

the gini index is barely that diff from what ive seen

high income to low income is a little better in australia but its not like comparing south korea to argentina like some people think it is

Have a look at house prices in Miami for an equivalent to Sydney

stagmal

Miami city (i.e miami beach) or Miami metro region

have to define your parameters here

sydney people often try to pull the wool over your eyes by comparing the total sydney metro vs an urban defined american city

so like NYC (8m) vs all of sydney metro (5m)

not the entire NYC metro (21 m) vs sydney metro (5m)

Coming

Whatever you like

Download the Zillow app and have a play on map view

waterfront block (no house) in Miami Beach is about $USD30m (just facing a shitty canal)

that would be extremely expensive on Sydney harbour basically $45m would be one of the highest prices ever paid

Go out back near the airport

$USD1.4m for $1000sqm

Coming

If anything is overvalued it’s probably Dubbo tbh

probably should be compared with some shit hole toen in bum fuck nowhere

but that’s because build costs are so high here because of the dole and minimum wage

The amount of oligarchs from around the world but especially Latin America interested in anything prestigious in Miami would far exceed the number for Sydney

america is the only country left on earth really (or at least in the anglosphere) that still has a decent quantity of reasonably affordable markets

it’s usd

but feel free to show your own data if you’ve got something different

The funny thing is most of the people who live there paid to avoid living next to a Wog like that – apparently he’s an absolute fuckwit.

Yeah Australia would be one of the last developed countries to revolt, I think Japan might be even more orderly but we wouldn’t be far off in terms of docility.

Large parts of our society are really wealthy so they have little or no incentive to revolt, and will support crushing anything that could threaten their wealth and status.

The poor parts are mostly too dumb or too woke to consider doing something like that. There is the carrot on a stick of inheritance too for many.

We have a vast number of migrants who see this place as heaven and don’t know or care that it’s becoming shittier, especially since they wouldn’t have been let into peak Australia anyway.

Other than Canada and NZ, no other country comes close to Australia in being an unreformable neoliberal EZ. This is so deep in our culture that people wouldn’t even have any coherent cause for which to revolt.

Among developed countries, I think only parts of the US and parts of Europe which are both highly nationalistic and very socioeconomically in the shit like Italy have any realistic prospect of revolution. Any revolution that happens in the US/NATO sphere will almost certainly be coopted by elites however, like what happened with Brexit, if people got sick of high immigration from the EU and voted leave in protest, they now have the same level of immigration but from the third-world. They never had any power to compel their political class to fulfil their actual wishes so it was a pointless gesture in the end.

Coming

Your best post

the house price/banking complex has at least fairly widely distributed wealth in Australia (relative to wealth in other countries )

all you had to do was buy a home it’s actually quite democratic

it’s only the loosers on MB and adjacent spaces like this and Twitter who thought they were too smart to buy a house who are bitter

No1

Yeah there was a pretty nice 30 year window there where one could obtain vast riches by taking from people too young to vote or yet to be even born

With Brisbane and Adelaide zooming up, the last holdout is Perth, idk why they’re so stagnant, maybe women don’t like to live in Perth, just a bunch of mining cavemen don’t know how to create a proper housing bubble.

It’s depressing that Australia’s upper middle class is just people who bought a second house in the 80s or 90s.

There will probably be protests against high rents or something sooner or later, I’d attend a protest on the subject of MB issues as long as it isn’t trivially easy to spin as being racist (e.g., anti-migration protest)

Don’t think there’ll be protests against high house prices because of the sheer level of withering disdain from every Boomer and most Gen Xers will make it largely a pointless exercise

stagmal

I think an anti-migration protest would literally get tear gassed and smashed with rubber bullets, normies and the justice system will have no sympathy whatsoever and the police are mostly zogbots and sociopaths who are happy to smash malcontents as during the pandemic

It probably is about time dissidents started taking to the streets over issues that can’t be spun as racist though, let’s say high rents, shit wages growth, etc.

I agree that YIMBY shit and unions and other vested interests will coopt the protests but w/e at this point. It’s still better than the status quo.

Could also try boycotting important vested interests like Qantas and Wesfarmers perhaps. But I doubt there are enough people who’d understand the logic of these being influential businesses that if punished for something they didn’t exclusively cause, still have enough influence to possibly get things improved somewhat.

If we had a population intelligent enough to boycott the mates for being mates, then the EZFKA probably never would have happened at all.

No1

It’s a genuinely pretty interesting question what makes different European countries richer or poorer than one another assuming they all have little in the way of natural resources

I think the fair judgment would be, how much better off is a middle-class British or German person than a middle-class Portuguese? How much can they buy with the income they have left over after paying bills/mortgage/rent?

As far as I can see, they’re all struggling now especially now that gas is so much more expensive (because the US screwed them).

It’s too bad for the Portuguese that unlike the Brits, their empire was a collection of poor countries that don’t particularly need the old metropol’s help and don’t feel much of a strong connection to it. Britain still benefits a lot from its former and current colonial possessions, France too but that is falling apart very fast.

The cancellation expenses would be enough to run the entire games if administrated by a semi-competent government

Dan Andrews has built so much corrupt infrastructure around him it is hard to see they will revolt.

Last election he had CFMEU thugs threatening people on site (sorry, campaigning) to vote for him. He’s built a gravy train so big, you can’t walk 5m without tripping over a huge salary for an ex Labor mate.

Turkeys don’t vote for Christmas. It’s the mafia style network where everyone is in on the scam, to stand up and speak out is to literally get shot.

The Age did a piece on his actions in the public service comparing it to the Red wedding scene in GoT. In a day his henchmen had replaced anyone senior who had experience and skills, with his own people, including one guy whose previous experience was as a basketball coach.

He’s a revolting evil POS but Dan will step away when he damn well pleases.

I’ll never deny the existence of talented, motivate, rational women, not afraid to question or lead, Peachy being a fine nearby example.

However, the fact is society self sorted into the Patriarchy for a reason, men form stable hierarchies based around competence – and it has delivered us Civilization. There is not one Matriarchal society that has a level of technological advancement beyond the mud hut.

the arborist

Agree 100%. It all started to go wrong once women were given the vote. And the pill. The more women control things the more things are controlled by feelings rather than reason. More chaos and less civilisation.

Obviously Peachy is far above all that.

Such women are readily accepted into male hierarchies because of competence and leadership. Men are never accepted into female hierarchies because they don’t exist – they’re just ever shifting loyalties and allegiances.

Dan banned gas this week as repayment for the Greens and Nutters supporting him to keep Victoria locked down.

I reckon the only way out for Victorians is to back an absolute lunatic who crashes and burns his way out. They will need a cabal of similar lunatics who can support them and actually get it done.

Otherwise it’s just regular stops along the way down to shitsville.

Stewie

His policies have proven so popular that heaps of Central and South American countries are considering a similar approach – his achievement in terms of reducing murder rates from insanity to actually well below US is amazing.

There is quite a reaction building against the progressive ‘Human Rights’ movement and their panglossian view of their world.

Of course the West under the global Noah Hides Rainbow flag will never tolerate the suppression of ‘human rights’.

IMHO while the US is distracted with Ukraine they may mistake of ignoring off the appeal of Bukele’s Fascism in return for security and safety, and see it mushroom throughout the region.

From there it’s appeal in terms of brining order to those nations may actually start to see its appeal to radically increase in the US as it increasingly suffers under its own increased lawlessness.

Gonzalo is ngmi

NoMansLand

Scott Ritter thinks he might be in one way or another, working for the Ukrainian SBU.

If not, Gonzalo’s got shit for brains.

stagmal

pretty specious reasoning to me tbh. why would the SBU want some guy to give a platform to some of ukraine’s most serious critics?

NoMansLand

Ritter’s argument is essentially

a) it makes no sense for Lira to be released and be treated with kid gloves unless he’s working for the SBU (voluntarily or involuntarily)
b) when Ritter worked in military intelligence, such people were a useful way of rounding up other dissidents

Meh, it’s weak tea but whatever.

Personally, I just think he’s an idiot. To review

a) he publicly bags the Ukrainian and American governments during the war they are backing and praises their Russian opponents while being in the hot zone
b) he gets arrested once and withheld for days
c) he gets out of that and continues with the public bagging
d) he gets arrested a second time and withheld for weeks; claims he was beaten during this
e) is released again and publicly announces he’s hopping the border even though ‘officially’ he’s not supposed to leave and also keeps bagging the governments

How many times does it take to learn? Infinite if you’re stupid. In addition, he supposedly has a wife and kids so you’d think he’d exercise some restraint for their sake even he doesn’t care about himself. So if he’s not a plant (fair enough), he’s the world’s dumbest moron. What’s next, a gay pride march with free opium held in Kabul?

I’ll reserve my free speech concerns for people beaten up by the Victorian ‘cops’.

My guess is that Gonzalo just likes hearing the sound of his own voice.

Now that is a blast from the past.

IIRC “NOT Macrobusiness” was a guy who went by the name of Alex Barton/Shadow – permabulls who had a track record of trashing property discussion sites like Bubblepedia and Credit Crunch, and eventually went off to start the Australian Property Forums.

Back then can remember links to it being spammed everywhere, and fights flowing over to other Australian sites like Whirlpool. At one stage they also had a mock embee Twitter account as well as a Reddit page.

Seems there was lots of crazy shit going on – here gold bug Bullion Baron alleges he was impersonated by APF members, and apparently that was also going on at embee when it first started.

Corporates in EZFKA can do whatever they want as long as they spread ‘The Message’. Qantas is up there at the top along with banks. However seems all the top corporates are on board. Customer service and reasonable pricing seems to be down the list of priorities and ‘The Message’ is top priority number 1.

Great post. I’ve wondered why all the corporates push THE MESSAGE so hard as I couldn’t see how they benefitted from it. Now it seems kinda obvious. They can get away with almost anything as long as they push THE MESSAGE.

Qantas owns EZFKA Fed Gov, years ago I was at a bus lunch wherever the Transport Minister was introduced as the “Minister for Qantas” and he just laughed.

Aus air fares are at all time record highs, no impact on inflation surely.

In June 2023 the ACCC reported that they had received more complaints about Qantas than any other company for the year. At that date, Albo’s Minister for Qantas Catherine King then dropped all funding for the ACCC’s airline monitoring program.

Don’t forget Qantas illegally sacked 1,700 Baggage Handlers in 2020 after Joyce had sucked up $2.7b of Gov Covid subsidies.

Qantas appealed that in the High Court in May this year, every Judge presiding is a member of Qantas’ Chairman’s Lounge…

Majority of EZFKA is too mentally tired to cope now, no new revelation will have any impact. The rest are so rusted on they can’t cope with facing their own hypocrisy, or that their idols are false.

Makes me wonder if Trump will have any effect like he once did. The shock value is gone, maybe people are less keen to take a strong view and just want theirs? Better minds than me can comment.

Ideally we want people to own a home and to start a family and be putting down roots in the community by their late twenties. But we tacitly gave up on this ideal when we decided the housing market was just like any other asset class.

I’m seeing people in their twenties begin to realise what’s happening to them, which is new. They haven’t yet figured out where to direct their anger, but at some point they will be a group that’s too large not to be politically taken advantage of.

Correct! I’m not a boomer but it’s bloody scary how everyone was trained to hate them.

“The horrible thing about the Two Minutes Hate was not that one was obliged to act a part, but that it was impossible to avoid joining in. Within thirty seconds any pretense was always unnecessary. A hideous ecstasy of fear and vindictiveness, a desire to kill, to torture, to smash faces in with a sledge hammer, seemed to flow through the whole group of people like an electric current, turning one even against one’s will into a grimacing, screaming lunatic.”

At the end of the day, people direct their country. Not necessarily through democracy but just as a culture. We consent when we do nothing rather than fighting back, either through some political means or just by burning governments to the ground.

It’s bleak because we haven’t accepted the need to fight back yet.

So what exactly were the boomers supposed to do about it? And what are you doing that the boomers didn’t? Sitting on a website and complaining? I think it’s pretty likely that all but the most cashed up of boomers are sick of all the immigration and corruption like the rest of us. But like us, they’re powerless.

NoMansLand

It’s not a blame game, it’s just trying to understand it and figuring out how to unite.

Me? I’m doing nothing about it; if I knew what to do, I’d do it and tell others to do it too.

The hard part is uniting 10 million people behind a common set of values. Or at least an influential subset of that 10 million.

the arborist

And to be fair, boomers never had the internet in their productive years, so nobody should be surprised by them being dumb. It’s not even being dumb. It’s simply a case of them not having access to any information at all apart from the approved mass media.

NoMansLand

I don’t buy into the boomers vs others false dichotomy. In many ways the boomers had it better since they had a common culture with many social organisations (unions, churches and other community organisations). The internet seems to divide and distract, dunno.

In any case, it’s for current and future generations to figure it out.

There’s a few green shoots of hope but still a long way to go.

It wasn’t Labor, they just saw the writing on the wall. Every Western country went down this path. Countries that didn’t do this tend to be the ones we wage war on.

I have yet to read Michael Hudson’s book Super Imperialism, first written in 1971 or so but it looks interesting. The gist I got was that there is a competition between financial vs industrial capitalism and we are the cannon fodder.

Russia’s industrial capacity, mocked compared to the US’s financially inflated GDP is doing a good job and proving this theory out in the War against the Ukraine.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12367203/Major-change-superannuation-Surprising-new-push-Australians-use-retirement-savings.html

The Aged and Community Care Providers Association has released an issues paper recommending that super savings be specifically set aside for aged care and withdrawn as a lump sum to pay for residential accommodation.

‘An alternative could be a compulsory saving approach for which a proportion of superannuation guarantee contributions is ring-fenced to pay for aged care costs,’ it said.

The issues paper also suggested an inheritance tax be charged to a deceased estate for ‘superannuation if it is not used for retirement as intended’.

Late response which will probably not be read, but…

I’m not convinced by the argument legacy ezfka units are happy not to rock the boat because they’ll inherit. By the time these people inherit they’ll be over 50.

What’s the point then?

the point is that it becomes the best option. There is no viable alternative.

The older the ezfka units get the more they have to lose, both in terms of own increasing accumulated wealth and also increasing proximity to inheritance. So the more conservative they grow.

a 25yo can afford to be unemployed for 6, 12, 18 months and to watch everything come crashing down around them. They have limited commitments and their whole life and career ahead of them in any case. A 40yo or 45yo can’t do that any longer – there’s the wife and kids to support right now and little more than a decade of prime earning ahead.

Ideally we want people to own a home and to start a family and be putting down roots in the community by their late twenties. But we tacitly gave up on this ideal when we decided the housing market was just like any other asset class.

That’s right. So, in reality There is no longer a relevant “we” that has any significant political clout.

I don’t mind a movie now and then. It’s a couple of hours of escapism, B grade storylines and special effects, then you forget about it and get on with life.

But as of late I’ve noticed that some people take it really seriously. Marx said religion is the opium of the people, but I wonder in these modern times if pop entertainment has essentially become a new religion for many. There are plenty out there quoting Star Wars, dressing up as their favourite superhero characters and visiting movie set sites. Years ago I can remember Lord of the Rings fans telling me they were heading off to NZ where the movie was shot – not unlike a religious pilgrimage.

One just has to look at the online rage generated when a director changes the gender or race of a character. How else can one explain death threats to directors not unlike when certain religious figures are parodied?

I don’t think the MCU etc are religions but I think they are intended to be extremely engrossing distractions from real life, to stop people from engaging politically with the real world. To actually keep up with all aspects of the CMU would essentially take up most of someone’s free time. It’s depressing to imagine there are people trying to do that but there must be a lot around the world.

Metaverse would be the most extreme manifestation of that goal

NoMansLand

Movies are fine, but there is no substance to most of these movies and they only make the same nonsense over and over again. There is no appetite for anything that requires thought. If it was merely scum movie companies, well whatever. But the soy boys actually get excited about it. They embrace this shit. It’s a substitute for real achievement.

The hatred towards changing characters is simple. It’s rejection of having culture stripped away. I can’t speak for movies so much as I don’t watch many of them these days, but when Roald Dahl books get changed to be less ‘offensive’, you wonder if there will be anything left.

No job security, no housing, reduced job quality, dead swamp politics, personal liberties gone, destruction of Christian values, destruction of laws and on and on it goes and you can’t even read a pleasant book or watch a cartoon with your kids.

Colonisation requires changing or destruction of language, religion and culture to destroy history and unity and it’s happening throughout the West.

But yes, you will be able to make a pilgrimage to some corporate holy site. You’re right about that.

Is there anything important in the Fitch downgrade of US debt?

Ironic Boomer

The increase in us government spending in the last quarter to increase the gdp number, at a cost of course.

Ramjet

Probably the fact that a ratings agency actually downgraded the US and the rationale behind it. Essentially there is no path to fiscal responsibility and deficits are pretty much locked in. Also issues around governance. The Democrats blamed this on Trump, but how can funneling billions of $$$s to Ukraine without oversight be best practice governance?

Gruppenführer Mark

I found this little tidbit interesting

Key Rating Drivers

Ratings Downgrade: The rating downgrade of the United States reflects the expected fiscal deterioration over the next three years, a high and growing general government debt burden, and the erosion of governance relative to ‘AA’ and ‘AAA’ rated peers over the last two decades that has manifested in repeated debt limit standoffs and last-minute resolutions.

Kinda reads that USA is in trouble compared to even AA-rated countries because of governance problems. Or maybe I’m misinterpreting.

Good spotting.

What a scam.

The narrative of ‘white man bad Indigenous man saint’ has swept across the sport like the rest. This dose of hard facts will be hidden though by the media, because they all want the ‘noble savage’ concept themselves.

Two of the “victims” are not even indigenous. None of the white men accused have even been interviewed.

Regardless it’s amazing that some highly paid sportsmen (ie. $150k min plus housing etc) think they were kidnapped and somehow in a cult.

This is what they said – “We were separated from our families. We were told an unborn child would ruin our futures. We were treated as special projects and control of our lives was taken from us.
We told our truths in confidence, because we believed that it would bring change. And because we needed to heal and move on. That confidence was betrayed.”

I support capital punishment of someone in possession of more than a personal amount of illicit drugs. If caught in possession of a personal amount then a 10-20 prison sentence depending on past behaviour, whether from a good family or not, etc.

What a fucking mess the AFP are.

The AFP advised in May 2023 at Senate Estimates, saying they had specifically briefed Minister for Home AffairsbDutton in 2018 about foreign bribery and a specific person of interest. The ABC then did a story on this.

Potato head Dutton has been smashed by the LW media for this. Your ABC etc all lined him up, all the usual Tards on Twitter etc.

The AFP has admitted they lied. They did not brief Potato Head that this guy was under investigation.

Had Senator Paterson not asked in this hearing, it looks likely the AFP may not have ever corrected their answer.

Good post. Is there any large / powerful organisation, government, private or religious, that isn’t bent all the way up to the top? The AFP being bent is particularly scary (although they kind of always have been).

For a mid like Senator Paterson to skewer this AFP copper so easily, that he looked like a genius QC, was scarey.

He is Chief Police Officer, AFP Canberra. This work is literally what that level of guy from the AFP does, goes to meetings and reports on work others have done. It’s not like they are investigating themselves etc.

He went to the meeting, lied about it and threw Dutton under the bus, then wasn’t going to even correct it, until he was caught out for it.

Meanwhile Albo gets his Voice debacle off the front page, the Greens even called for a Royal Commission FFS…

Nice list of demands for the specific areas that they want The Voice to control, hidden by the NIAA :

I’ll remind you what some of these demands were:

•Aborigines paying only 50 per cent the rate of income tax;

•Aboriginal groups owning beaches and national parks, and charging the rest of us to use them;

•10 per cent of all judges, magistrates, police officers, ADF officers, vice chancellors and ambassadors to be Aboriginal;

•no entry tests and no fees for Aborigines going to university;

•50 per cent discounts for Aborigines going to sport and music events on public land;

•Aborigines to have first claim on all public housing in Australia;

•reduced age of eligibility for the aged pension for Aborigines;

•rivers and streams to be owned by local Aborigines, who will charge the rest of us for water consumption;

•the same for mining royalties;

•all new liquor licences to be vetted by the voice; and

•the voice office being the same size, and having the same budget, as the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet.

all up – $330 lol

mostly from all the $2 and $1 coins that were in there

keeping them all

this has happened before with a similar amount, i figure some people put too many coins in the machine and it rejects them due to the weight and theyre too lazy to take them again

as a rule now i always run my hand through the rejection shute when i walk past the bank, someone in there yelled at me once when they saw me doing it saying i was stealing and they knew what i was doing and i laughed in their face

should have reminded them that commonwealth bank used to be publically owned and that i, a member of the public, am therefore entitled to the money

Banks steal anyway. If you withdraw cash from ATM and forget to take the cash, the atm will take the cash back after a minute, and they won’t credit your account unless you make a complaint.

very interesting to see how different their thinking is there

can a Henry on $AUD500k “afford” a $3m house here ?

not really imo that’s 280 after tax
let’s say 250 after minimum 30k living expenses excl rent/mortgage
(living like a pauper for someone on 500k)

take 3 years to save 20% deposit plus stamp duty

borrow 2.5m
intetest alone is 150k/yr 60% of disposable income

for someone in the very top income bracket

Commentator Mike Carlton does not back away from causing controversy, and this time northern beaches locals have a bone to pick with him. 

They say the 77-year-old former Fairfax columnist and author has been getting his kit off at Whale Beach too many mornings to count — with “Avalonians” copping an eyeful.
