Fast fiction writer. Freedom maximalist. Trying to avoid being crushed under the hammer of censorship. ₿, obviously.

There is no Australia anymore.

That idea died long ago and it lies buried beneath the rubble of a nation that could-have-been.

Now this island is nothing more than a random patch of dirt that houses tax serfs and debt slaves.

It hates me and everyone like me.

The political class abandoned me, the central bank robbed me blind, and the housing market’s a Ponzi scheme.

I can’t buy a home, or start a family, or be proud of my history.

They stripped out everything that made Australia a nation. Now it’s a husk, globalist sludge. A place where you and I exist and work, but build nothing.

So there’s nothing left of “Australia the Idea”.

There’s just “Australia the Place”: a geographic location where everyone is welcome, because our national religion is house prices and GDP.

I earn $200,000.

I pay $90,000 in income tax.

I pay a further $40,000 in council rates, land tax, GST, alcohol excise, fuel excise, license fees, car registration, get a new passport, and inflation.

My tax rate is 65%.

Damn. It was all worth it for the RUSH

60,000 words into my novel and I realise that writing a novel is way harder than posting on social media because you get no cheap dopamine rush from likes and zaps when you finish a page.

But it’s infinitely more rewarding 💪

In 2032, we’re all augmented with GovTech.

There’s no unapproved thoughts or movements.

Every human action is run through the AI to ensure that it’s compliant with the relevant Safety Regulations.

It’s a new utopia.

We don’t know how those people from the Old World survived, with everyone permitted to just randomly move their limbs and think as they pleased.

It must have been chaos.

Australia needs to abandon its ties to Britain.

The Empire has fallen. The King’s been captured, it’s checkmate.

We need to start a new Kingdom Down Under.

Build a global superpower using our unlimited resources and natural border.

Terraform the interior, convert Darwin into a shipping hub.

Cut regulation and make businesses thrive.

No tax for families and abandon immigration.

Eject all the communists (and eKaren too).

But the ‘democracy’ won’t allow it.

It wants us to remain a weak testing ground for new globalist policies.

Censorship and CBDC; welfare and Digital ID.

Voting won’t get us anywhere because the UniParty is captured and they hate you.

The only solution is the People saying no.

THE NANNY STATE

I go down to the park for a beer with my friends. We all get fined for drinking in public.

We decide to go fishing, but apparently you need a licence for that now.

An afternoon on the jet ski might be fun. Oh no, you need a licence for that too.

But they're so easy to drive...

I have a new business idea, and start selling lemonade to people on this hot Sydney day. But this gets me another fine.

Why the f do you need a permit for this?

I watch Tucker Carlson with Zyn and think 'hey that looks cool'. I order some online but the TGA destroys it at the border.

How do I get my nicotine fix now?

A pack of ciggies is $60. That's too much for me.

Last night a gang robbed my house with machetes. I need a gun to protect myself from this lawlessness because the cops are useless.

What the? I can't even buy a gun?

I post online about the gang who robbed my wife. But it gets taken down and now I'm in Court for hate speech.

Since when was this a crime?

I get sentenced to prison but tell them I'm a woman.

I get a lighter sentence and get jailed with all the hotties.

Life's not too bad in prison. At least I can afford to live here: 3 meals a day and a roof over my head isn't too bad.

And the government will pay for my sex change.

Is nuclear war coming?

Australia calls itself a democracy.

But in reality it is a tightly controlled technocracy.

Propaganda streamed into every living room 24 hours a day.

No protection of free speech, no right to defend ourselves.

The illusion of choice at election time between globalists in red or globalists in blue.

The tax system and business regulations are set up to ensure that government-approved corporations are the only ones who make super profits.

We will live in pixels for eternity

Why haven’t we colonised the moon yet?

Don’t use their fake money.

Don’t eat their fake food.

Don’t vote in their fake elections.

Don’t watch their fake news.

Unplug now, anon 🫡

Control the money, control the world.

That’s why banks freeze your account if you send to much to an exchange.

They know they’re losing their grip.

Communism is cool now.

But I just want unbridled capitalism and all my freedoms back.

Something like America in the 1800s - with oil and rail dynasties.

People making things and taking risks and being wild.

I want to start a business without needing permission from a parasite.

And a thousand acres of farmland with a home built by hand.

There’s a world that could exist.

But it’s suffocated by fear and an obsession with safety.

We’ve become sad and pathetic.

But I feel a revolution coming.

I feel concerned for my country.

For some reason my government's more concerned with censoring me than serving me.

All the neighbourhoods have changed and I think I’ll be renting forever.

I wonder what it would be like to own a home with no mortgage…

Those tax cuts came in, but they were quickly eaten up by inflation.

I keep getting told that inflation is caused by greedy businesses, but I’m old enough to remember when they doubled the money supply during COVID.

And I have a brain so I don’t fall for their obfuscations.

They used to say the internet would make us free.

But each day there’s more devices tracking me.

And every transaction gets poured over by my bank.

They froze my account when I bought bitcoin.

They said it was to stop scams, but I think it’s because they’re afraid of money they don’t control.

And people who aren’t controlled by their money.

I feel concerned that the future will be worse than the past.

What world will our kids grow up to?

Barcoded, censored, fed fake food until their heart fails.

The funny thing is we pay tax to overlords, funding their control over us.

I wonder what would happen if we all pushed back?

Australia is a sad, pathetic country.

There are no companies, just real estate agents and public servants.

Where is the innovation, creativity, entrepreneurship?

It’s been crushed by taxation and regulation.

Everyone is too afraid to do anything because they don’t even know what they’re allowed to do anymore.

So they just clock into their government job and watch footy on the weekend.

Who is creating anything?

We have abundant natural resources, a beautiful and inspirational country-side.

We live on a massive, isolated island.

Australia should be world leading in every field.

It should be a utopia of free thought, free enterprise, and innovation.

But instead everyone is spiritually crushed by the nanny state.

You can’t fish or hunt or start a business or speak or build without seeking permission from some goblin in the public service.

A leech. A parasite. Who only exists to suck the life out of you.

We need libertas. Freedom.

Remove the shackles and people will do amazing, awe-inspiring things in this beautiful land.

But they can’t. They’re locked into 30-year mortgages that take away the majority of their take home pay.

Slaves to Commonwealth Bank just to own 200 square metres of land in Preston.

They have nothing left at the end of each month to experiment with.

So they’re forced to be a wage slave at one of the 8 companies that exist in this country.

Because it’s impossible to run anything apart from a large company in Australia.

The small ones can’t afford the compliance costs.

Nobody understands the thousands of pages of legislation they need to comply with the run a company.

We had this amazing opportunity and we fumbled it because everyone voted away their freedoms in exchange for some fake safety.

The penal colony never ended.

We asked for it to continue and it did.
