Love linux, self-hosting and privacy. Self-knowledge addict and occasional psychonaut. Lurking in farming and BTC discussions.

It took me 45 years to really accept that nobody is perfect; to stop writing off smart people because they act stupid on one topic.

Not sure if I should be embarrassed that it took so long or just pleased that I got there at all.

Far too many people focus on what divides us when it is much more productive to focus on what unites us.

RIOT

I don’t understand why you’re not rioting in the streets.

They locked you up for 12 months and then caused all this inflation.

Every aspect of your life is dictated by some fake government regulation.

And now they’re trying to shut you up with the censorship bill?

You get filmed everywhere you go, and they think you’re dumb enough to be controlled by propaganda.

All your income gets eaten up by taxes, but you don’t even notice it because they’re all hidden.

When I walk outside, I don’t get why everyone’s so calm.

Don’t they notice that we’re living under a dictatorship?

Or worse, a kleptocracy dressed up as a democracy?

I mean, I think some people notice.

They complain about how expensive things are.

But they don’t actually DO anything about.

And I think that’s because they’ve been beaten down to the point that they believe that the crushing weight of totalitarianism is INEVITABLE.

This is what happens when you rob the population of their means to defend themselves.

They become docile, compliant slaves.

The Americans knew this, and they’re prepared to die for their right to defend themselves against tyranny.

Australians are not.

And it’s all I can see when I walk the streets.

Downtrodden serfs living under communism.

Complaining, but never acting.

If you don’t want to get taxed more, you’re going to have to stand up and say “No”.

Tell Albanese that we want our money out of the bloated public service and back in our own pockets.

Then tell him to repeal all the fake regulations.

Stop telling me how to live my life.

And while you’re at it, abolish the ATO.

How can you charge a capital gains tax if you’re not my partner in the venture?

How can you justify taxing me to pay for a war in Ukraine?

And how can you compulsorily acquire my land?

It’s all State sanctioned theft under the threat of violence.

I am not sure protests are the solution because they are easily hijacked and made to deliver oppression instead of freedom.

The best way to fight evil is to make energetic progress in something good - which in this case would be to just ignore the bad laws. If people just refused to comply with lockdowns there would be nothing to protest about.

It all comes down to information access, the war is on for our minds. Which is why Assange is in prison.

I read somewhere that at the end of their lives, people's biggest regrets are the risks they didn't take. Stuck in my head for some reason.

I WRITE FAST FICTION

Because it used to be that you’d buy some Pulp from Southern Cross to read on the long ride home down the Sandringham Line.

But not now, man.

Now we have Fast Fiction. Coz we’re living in the digital age. This is the internet of THINGS.

We want our stories punchy and we want them relevant and we want them now.

And they have to be in the feed, man. Because it’s not real unless it’s in the feed.

And plus that’s where everybody’s at these days. Nobody’s hanging out analogue anymore.

And it’s no use writing about something that happened last year. That’s done, that’s over. That’s yesterday’s news and nobody wants to know about it. The Modern World exists in a 24 hour News Cycle.

So it’s Fiction, but Fast.

That’s why I smoke cigarettes and write stories on my iPhone. Because from my small island nation I can reach the world.

And at first I found it strange that my Australian-Centric Semi-Fiction got shared internationally. I was surprised that people in New Zealand, Canada, America, and the UK, related to what I was saying.

But now I know why.

Global corporations are working with national governments to control Western citizens.

And for some reason most companies are owned by Blackrock.

And for some reason it’s beneficial to Blackrock if you cut off your dick and become a communist.

And they’re also trying to put fake indigenous people in power.

And speech is being censored like never before.

Weak people get off on the thought of the government controlling what we say. But those of us who are capable and intelligent know that that’s a slippery slope.

And plus we don’t want the government interfering in our lives.

And I think we all owe a debt of gratitude to Elon Musk for paying $44 billion to save free speech. Without him we would still be living in 2021 where the truth was silenced.

Now on Twitter we can actually have conversations and, finally, people can say things that are controversial.

So I write Fast Fiction.

And it makes some people mad.

But they don’t understand that I just write shit I think is funny.

And when some blue haired they/them gets triggered it makes my day.

I think that communists will destroy Australia.

I think Lidia Thorpe is a terrorist.

I think Louis CK is funny and I think COVID was a scam.

I just want to move to the Cayman Islands to pay no tax and leave Albo behind me.

But my wife won’t let me so I need an outlet.

That’s why I write Fast Fiction.

Love it, keep writing!

With a risk of taking things too literally, I want to recommend something I found out about today, that may help you write faster :D

I use primarily LBRY and love it.

Yet again, nobody is perfect :/

Overall he still makes more sense than any of the other candidates though.

The same people who tell you Russia is the ultimate enemy produced the propaganda-bolstering legislation this podcast is about:

To accept the persecution of Julian Assange is to accept the idea that all media everywhere must function as propaganda organs of the US government.

The facts below will likely be a surprise to most:

https://co2coalition.org/facts/

Not sure if telepathy will ever be proven real but do believe that humans can do a lot more than they currently are - without crude technology interventions like implants or gene modifications.

Humanity is in it's early teenage years now it seems... thinks it is all powerful and grown up but acts self-destructively. That will change in time if we don't nuke ourselves out of existence.

In a recent episode Joe Rogan had Tulsy Gabbard, talked about the Lahaina fire among other things. Apparently govt offered a one time help of $700 to people who lost their homes. Completely rebuilding every house lost in those fires would take some 5 billion, which is less than the money 'accidentally' sent to Ukraine. Literally money they say they sent due to miscalculations.
