Yep. It’s is the (nearly) end game of pure capitalism.

Which is why you see lately the attack on anything that is given or provided by government.

Because they want more of the pizza. They want it ALL.

And yet they are meat sacks like the rest of humanity. With all the strengths and weaknesses everyone called a human has.

Why are they special? Why are they allowed to hog ALL the wealth?

Because we let them.

    Ok….

    I read the attached article. And am struggling to see a problem here?

    The guy got convicted. Again. Yay?

    Or was it a bad thing because the internet happened?

    Any smart person. Please enlighten me…?

    Agreed. They keep electing muppets. And the ones that say they didn’t just throw their hands up and point everywhere but to themselves.

    And don’t get me started on their fanatical relationship with that little warmongering country in the Middle East. It’s just nuts.

    Eh? Why would we have it ‘live streamed’ anyway?

    Besides that; All of our FTA tv channels will blur anything remotely confronting as a matter of course.

    You tube is where you’ll get your jollies. And the Australian government can’t/won’t censor that…

    We have a similar problem here in Australia. But because of our low population. And compulsory voting. It’s not able to manifest as much in the elected governments… Yet. There is definitely a push by outside groups and a few scallywags here trying to make it like the US.

    But we continue to push back….Mostly.

    AUKUS was the latest version of us failing in the pursuit of sense. Thankfully the US will fuck up the whole thing so bad it might just work out alright in a decade or two.

    Haha! Sure. You believe what you want to. But the fact is that there are countries in the world that are actively battling this scammy rubbish. Through governments and local leadership. What is concerning however, is the attitude that scams are just now a part of the accepted narrative. When they should be anything but.

    Take the Nigerian scams of the early 2000’s. They were successfully fought against on all levels. And have now pretty much dropped off.

    Just because your country has thrown in the metaphorical towel. Don’t lump the rest of us with you.

    Makes me glad I’m in Australia then!🤣😂

    Seriously. Can we please get US articles and posts labeled as such? This constant assumption that the US is the world is tiring….

    Eg: Everything In The US is a scam now

    Thank you for your time.👍
