Remember folks;
A problem passed on to someone else,
is a problem solved.
I WANTED TO BUILD A HOUSE
So I saved up for ten years and bought a vacant block of land.
Then paid $50,000 in stamp duty.
And another $28,000 in mortgage repayments whilst waiting to get planning approval.
For some reasons it took council 18 months to decide whether to let me build a house on the land that I owned.
Which is in a residential zone, by the way.
At first they said my fence was too green.
Then my windows were too low.
Then we needed to do a bushfire survey.
Then I had to get an ecology report.
Then I had to redesign the whole thing because they wouldn’t let me pull a tree down.
They promised the redesign would get approved.
But then they said I needed to consult with the local aboriginal tribe.
So I did that, and the aboriginals said my land was on sacred ground.
So now I’m not allowed to build there at all.
And I have to pay the aboriginals rent, plus a Sacred Site Maintenance Levy.
I try to sell the land, but nobody will buy it.
Interest rates double and I can’t afford to hold the land.
I skip a meal, and then another.
The aboriginals put my rent up.
Council puts my rates up.
I get charged a Vacancy Levy because I’ve failed to build a house on the land.
My job fires me because having too many white men working there is ‘bad for optics’.
Now I’m homeless and I have to camp on my vacant land.
But apparently this is illegal and the council fines me.
Sleeping outside makes me sick so I go to hospital.
The doctor says I need urgent treatment.
I can’t afford the treatment, and my Medicare Levy doesn’t cover it for some reason.
They offer me a Euthanasia Care Package as an alternative.
And I feel grateful to live in a first world nation with multiple health care options.
As they’re providing me with treatment, I wonder if the remaining equity in my land will be enough to cover my Death Tax.

He lost me when he said if you want to move to an anglo nation, Australia/New Zealand are great based on low level of state debt. Both are flowering into tyrannical totalitarian states.

What on God's green earth are the Vietnamese communists hoping to achieve with this law? Power makes people insane.

Who in their right mind would go after the US post? I wonder why schools don't teach the kids about him?

Heard this idea during the scamdemic. I had to pause for a little bit because logically, this has to be true. When the monetary system is disconnected from the real world, why should the monopoly on violence care about the productive class?
