Here in Australia they're talking about requiring KYC to access social media. Obviously it's just paper ID at the moment, but biometrics would be the obvious next step.
Nostr offers an excellent opportunity to circumvent what's coming. I just wish more people around here appreciated the importance of that rather than trying to make it acceptable to normies.
Man I'm hearing you loud and clear.
This shit is happening everywhere, but for some reason, some of the hairiest dystopian shit that I've seen is coming out of Australia. I think it was
nostr:npub12gu8c6uee3p243gez6cgk76362admlqe72aq3kp2fppjsjwmm7eqj9fle6 that was telling me that there is already a bank that has gone live with their CBDC project , and that they were using some kind of shitcoin or something ?
Is it true that the dole over there is a sort of a CBDC , like you can't buy booze and fags etc with it ?
And then you have the covid stuff , some of the stuff I was watching coming out Oz in 2021 was fucking hard to watch man. A man and woman getting handcuffed in front of their children for organising an anti-lockdown march on Facebook. A stretching across an entire street like fucking storm troopers or some shit .
Oz are good folk , I know they are, and this is happening everywhere , so I'm not having a go .
I remember there was a man in a horse in one video and he was trying to rally everyone against the Lockdowns braveheart style , man what a legend .
* a wall of police stretching across the street
Yeah, Australia seems to be the testing ground for a lot of the globalist agenda. As Clive James once said, the problem with Australia is not so much that the population are descended from convicts but that so many are descended from prison guards. The lockdowns in Melbourne were an incredible indicator of just how far this country has fallen and what a lie our rebellious self-image is.
I haven't heard much about CBDCs here, but I know they're looking into it - same with the 15 minute cities stuff. The dole thing is something they only do in remote Aboriginal communities though.
So far, we haven't been locking people up for social media posts (though a few got arrested for trying to organise lockdown protests) like they do in England but there's probably a bunch of other fucked up stuff going on here that I'm overlooking. Australia is desperate to be taken seriously on the world stage so we'll sign up for whatever awful ideas are in fashion. Sadly, the covid response didn't surprise me at all.
One thing people do get wrong about Australia is guns. We don't have a gun culture like America obviously, and it's harder to buy one than it used to be, but there are still plenty of people who own them here. They're a necessity in the outback.
Oh, the Grollo family are involved. Nice to see the Mafia getting in on the Great Reset.
