It's ok UD.You're just having a bad dream - people confined to their homes; curfews; border checkpoints...this is Australia...the Lucky Country...what you're seeing, bro, in your dream, is just a second rate movie about some tinpot dictatorship in South America. You'll wake up...in a few weeks...and it will start all over again [inset mad laughter of someone over the edge].
does that mean you won't get offended if I call you "UD" or would you prefer "UncleDoug" which doesn't gel with me, being much older than you, but, you know, happy to oblige an aussie.
This development was predictable, and predicted. People just didn't listen, and still don't.
Everything that can happen, will happen. And there is nothing preventing this from happening. When something is moving in a direction, it will continue moving in that direction until something stops it. And there is nothing stopping this from continuing.
Voting doesn't work. Politicians are professional liars and the whole system is too corrupt to fix from within. Protests don't work. Nobody in charge cares if you go for a walk while moaning about this and that. None of them care if you get in a fight with police or burn some cars, either. They watch from a safe distance and laugh at your futile struggles, if they even notice.
What consequences have the ones pushing these policies faced? They have only gotten richer and more powerful.
And so this will continue. There's no reason it would stop.
