The end of democracy

Democracy only works because the losers are prepared to accept the rule of the winners on the basis that they are the same people, representing the same goals, albeit with a different view on how they can best be reached. There are more and more people in Australia (eg most contributors here) and other democracies who do not feel that those getting elected are pursuing the goal of the improvement of the nation for the benefit of all. Democracy is being gamed.

In Australia, the entire country is being subordinated to the needs of Sydney and Melbourne. Those two giant succubii do not produce enough value to pay for all they import so they have to extract wealth from elsewhere, mostly via the superannuation industry and the tax system. Democratic norms dictate that the biggest voting blocks rule and those two cities carry the most population so their interests are more heavily represented in Parliament. It’s an advantage that they reinforce with immigration, most of which goes to Sydney and Melbourne. Melbourne is especially dependent on migration since it lost its industry and its progressive elites are hostile to mining and agriculture.

Voters come from an ever increasing diversity of backgrounds with varying levels of long term committment to Australia. Many, maybe most, hold other passports. It cannot be assumed that voters share the same interests, except perhaps to extract as much as they can as fast as they can. Community involvement is down. The number of friends people have is down. Families are ever smaller. Our corruption rating gets worse each year according to Transparency International. The fabric of the nation is wearing thin.

The political class pretend that climate change is the most important thing we have to deal with, resulting in purposely hobbled economies with increasing costs for both transport and industrial and agricultural inputs. These are getting passed on every day to consumers. Marginal business models will fail. The more this goes on, fewer individuals will enjoy rising prosperity. How long will they acquiesce under the rule of those with whom they do not identify? Already I am seeing more foreign looking beggars on the streets.

Our leaders are working hard every day to delegitimise those who built modern Australia and instead push the legitimacy of Aboriginal traditional ownership. Recent migrants are not tarnished by colonisation. Recent migrants and their descendents now the dominant population group. They are delegitimising and disabling any pushback against them before it can occur, with different migrant groups competing for domination, or at least a state of permanent destabilisation in which they can carve a defensible niche.

Shared kinship is a shared interest in any animal society. Without it there is less reason for those without offspring to contribute. There is less reason for those with offspring to cooperate. The reasons that remain are increasingly negative – more about preventing individuals’ losses than building a future together. Democracy and the nation state go hand in hand. There is no reason to accept domination by the majority when you are not the same people. In the short term we can expect an increase in the bitterness of our disagreements. In the longer term, if the trends continue, democracy itself could come under threat, perhaps as a result of increasingly lawlessness, violence, corruption and poverty. I for one would not mourn the passing of its current state.

I think the reason that the appearance of democracy is fading in Australia is because we never actually had democracy. All Australia had was an electoral system where people vote for the political party that the media convinced them to vote for. There are two options with essentially identical economic policies but varying in colour scheme and virtue signalling.
You will never be allowed to vote on what the level of migration should be or on whether to adopt a free trade agreement. All you get is to pick who will lie to you and screw you over for the next three years. We should not call the farce that is elections in Australia ‘Democracy’ as it has no similarity to the system used in ancient Athens where all citizens could have a say in the policies and laws. Instead what Australia and most of the world has is a performative placebo of regular voting rituals for keeping the masses placated.
However, as the quality of life is crushed by corrupt politicians following the orders of their corporate donors even the well oiled propaganda of the MSM can no longer hide the lies from the masses.

There’s nothing wrong with our democracy. Best in the world.

There’s plenty wrong with voters.

Suppose ezfka.com was the electorate. LNP, Labor, Greens and Teals wouldn’t get a vote I would guess, and we’d all vote below the line to make sure they didn’t fall over the finish line in first place by accident.

“community involvement”. I remember my family being involved with Lions, Rotary and those other old timey groups in raising funds to build the local hospital.
Wouldnt happen today ‘cos it’s all for one, and everyone for themselves.

also because working people with kids don’t have time for that since they have to work longer, harder and commute more

Yes, you must work longer and harder and commute more, because life is so much more difficult these days than ever before in recorded history.
Thank you for Coming, remember to get your booster.

People still do it, it is not advertised as much. It is probably more in regional areas too.

Yeah my old man was in Lions. Still shamed by him in regards to the amount of community work he did. We did live in a regional country town though – I increasingly hate the city.

Lions were businessmen and professionals doing fundraising – generally older successful blokes, so they were usually organised, successful and had a piss up or two throughout the year. Service clubs are a bigger thing in country towns… or were.

There could have been some FM in there, but my ole man certainly wasn’t one, and most of the guys that I remember were more knock about types – not your buttoned down Protestant type.

A great uncle on my old man’s side was a FM, it was viewed more as a curiosity in our family than anything else. Dudes getting dresssd up in fancy aprons and giving each other secret hand shakes was seen by my parents as strange.

Ramjet

I increasingly agree with you about the city.

Drago

The Chinese living in EZFKA are largely responsible for the diminishing of any community spirit in the middle class. Traditionally you’d have better off supporting charities, and the traditional private schools (especially Jesuit) required community service. Hell I went to a posh private school and remember specific community service requirements, volunteering in aged care facilities etc.

The Chinese are like rats, piling on top of each other and EZFKA citizens alike. They infiltrated the middle class long ago and have sucked the life out of all that. It started with them taking all the school scholarships and refusing to give back (ie. music scholarship kids would literally have to perform at old boys functions etc but the Chinese parents always made the unavailable). Their parents would stand there like dumb fucks refusing their kids play team sport as well. Private schools now have badminton to cater to the Chinese kids.

Soon private schools in Melbs were infested with them, so the schools had to offer sports scholarships to bolster their traditional team sports like footy, especially if the school still wants to get their hands on that old boy money.

Nothing good has come of the Chinese, they’ve used and discarded what they need from EZFKA.

Ramjet

What you have described is the whole essence of EZFKA. They have perfected it.

Keep up with the times Drago. It is all about jobs for the management class. Management class is that you don’t have to be a subject matter expert, just need a chief of staff team to prepare the message for you to deliver. And something about inspiring your team(s).

Coming has something about CEOs and management burning through huge amounts of shareholder funds. I actually believe the advent of the management class and the destruction of shareholder value are somewhat related.

Stewie

Diversity is gunna make it far worse. The meritocracy will always lead to more efficient outcomes. “Diversity” improving productivity is like believing in fairy dust. By all means employ a chick or an African, if they are meritorious enough for the position. Anything else is a cost to efficiency and a deduction from total output – another reason that as we slide down the energy curve the decline will be steeper than the rise.

My ex employer hired a HR manager who is obsessed with the indigenous. Among other things she instituted an indigenous hiring program…ie “affirmative action” aka race based hiring. So there was a stream of jobs reserved for the indigenous.

As you can imagine, it was a disaster. A bunch of indigenous people were employed, and they don’t show up for work, get in drunken street fights, get arrested, have uncontrollable debt etc etc. Anybody else would be sacked, but to do so with these cunts would be racist. 🙄

I’m glad I don’t work there any more.

I liked the first half of this romantic fairy tale about a democracy that in reality existed only in media, since its inception.
Rotation of “leaders” does not make leaders. It makes bus drivers: route is known and he just steers the bus from potholes and stops at stations and opens doors.
Leaders are made from the pool of charismatic personae capable of achieving ideas and goals that attract majority. It is upside down thinking that (s)elected “leaders” should follow the masses desires because masses are unable to think as a group, they can only be attracted.
Alas, modern democracy is conceived to give a very strong feeling of one’s control of the societal destiny but in fact its main achievent is to prevent leaders from rising. It is quite successful in that.

A fly in your ointment

distractions…

It is upside down thinking that (s)elected “leaders” should follow the masses desires because masses are unable to think as a group, they can only be attracted.

It is upside down thinking that (s)elected “leaders” can lead. They can only follow and the point of power gives them exculpatory trajectory for anything thay do. Their main goal in (s)elective democracies is to retain party power. This is why in Westworld not one single party has a clear ideology. Everything is wonky.

I don’t see much wrong with that model Stewie. It’s very traditional – get scale/volume through loss-leader product, then make your coin slowly by taking a spread on every trade.

they hide their spreads/fees well, too

Except that the coin is providing fake liquidity that isn’t really there – this is the fundamental reason why all the exchanges are collapsing. Eventually the piper has to be paid.

indeed, much like post by Coming pointing towards zealous blame on Jabbadabba where blame may not be due.

My extreme position is that every undue death should be compulsory-tested against VacciNazi clot shot injury or death, to the point that if there’s a dePrince’d Andrew’s sex bus down the cliff, all aboard incl bus driver were heavily on coke, bus driver should be tested for both miocarditis and stroke induced by Emma which may have lead to indirect killing of everyone, thus all should be victims of it.

One of the FTX crypto guys suggested to Elon Musk that Twitter should run on the blockchain. He nixed it quick.
“In response to this proposal, Musk explained that Twitter on blockchain is impossible due to the inability of the peer-to-peer network to support bandwidth and latency requirements. The solution could work if these peer-to-peer networks were absolutely gigantic, but then the network could not be decentralized”

Coming

fuck these crypto people are imbeciles

Stewie

I sort of agree – there is are a couple functional social media sites on BSV – twetch, which is like twitter on the blockchain and my2cents, which is like a facebook.

Both use the blockchain to store data. While I recognise the business model that says data can be stored on the blockchain, I am dubious of stating all data should be stored on the blockchain. Movies that can be mass downloaded – yes. Personal social media – meh.

Of the two models My2cents seems to be doing better. You don’t actually need BSV to post on it, you can actually blog on it and earn BSV from the get go. It is generating around 1/3 to half of all BSV’s daily transactions the last time I bothered to look into it. Twetch is a bit of Rube Geller machine imho – I mean you can store your tweets online forever, but really who gives a shit.

Where crypto could be useful with social media is allowing it to be integrated into existing platforms as a competing payment plumbing system. I’ll be honest here that other competing UTXO versions of Bitcoin, like BCH, can perform this function just as efficiently. It would also be possible to monetize social media within existing platforms like Twitter and Facebook, without needing to move all the data onto the blockchain – just integrate it and allow it to be used as a competing payment platform…. for a microtransaction cut of course.

Stewie

I commented ages ago that the technology they were using was useless – they were investing in account based crypto, it can’t scale. The UTXO model with SPV is the only one can scale sufficiently that it is worthwhile considering. The US banks are working on a private UTXO model.

The RBA and ASX employed KPMG consultants that basically consisted of some retarded chick who was a BTC champion and then thought ETH was the ants pants. I posed a question to her on one of my old accounts and she blocked me almost instantly. She was dumb, like Sweeper and W@ffle having a love child sort of dumb.

My fucking flowers. It appeared that my ownership of the property, and the effort I’d put into the garden meant nothing at all to them, because they wanted some nice bunches of flowers.

I follow several suburbs in terms of rentals and for sale. It seems that numbers are climbing and I saw for the first time “call the agent” for overpriced rental properties. An apartment near by, went for auction, quite large one with a quad garage places, did not meet sellers expectations. I thought it ticked every vox possible in rental apartments, by size, acessibility, sun, space, appearance…. my take was it could’ve sold for $900k+ easily earlier this year, attracting only 2 bidders. A Swallow and spring proverb may apply….

This says “modelling” from PRD Nationwide shows that average house prices in sydney will be $2.4m by 2030, and average apartments prices $1.05m

driven by rising migration, soaring city economy and developers not building new homes fast enough to meet demand

I’d scoff, but they’ve been more right than wrong in the past

sounds about right to me, i wouldn’t bet against this at all. house prices will start rising again some time next year maybe.

look i think we are all so mentally and emotionally broken by the last 10 years that nobody would dare to argue against this, not even the MB boys

love the “but affordability may ease” qualifier though – hahahahaha yeah right

I don’t agree. Melbourne can keep building outwards to the North, East and West. Sydney can’t do this unless it is willing to pave over National Parks.

The soaring economy is a mirage and is really only spending on services. Melbourne doesn’t produce anything and has a much lower number of major companies headquartered in the city.

its probably more the cost of building

melbourne importing a lot more pajeets than sydney

This was a good summation of the issues at FTX. Not one aspect of what was revealed surprised me – virtually no real liquidity compared to bloated, inflated assets held in other liquidity constrained ponzis.

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/worse-enron-new-ftx-ceo-slams-unprecedented-failure-corporate-controls

In addition, in the first hours of November 11, 2022 EST, the directors of non-Debtors FTX Express Pty Ltd and FTX Australia Pty Ltd., both Australian entities, appointed Messrs. Scott Langdon, John Mouawad and Rahul Goyal of Korda Mentha Restructuring as voluntary administrators.

Goes to show that even well regulated ‘Australian’ exchanges can be at risk of failure when their parent, which lies outside of Australia’s regulatory framework, are corrupt and engage in maleficent behaviour.

melitopol will be the big test of where this war is heading into the new year, assuming ukraine attempts to attack it. if russia does not even bother to defend melitopol (which i doubt, given kherson was such a unique situation) it is an indication to me the kremlins are throwing in the towel. however successfully defending any large assault on melitopol would exhaust the ukrainians significantly. capturing melitopol = game over imo, so the stakes for it, unlike kherson (which was mostly psychological) are huge.

Policies like these need to be challenged in court – that Uni student needs a sponsor, like Gina, to fund it all the way through to the HCoA if necessary. These purity statements are toxic for supposed plural democratic societies.

Business opportunity maybe for Uni might be cutting out the useless bullshit and teaching real courses ?

ZH had a few interesting articles today. This one is on global oil production, and as a believer in peak oil I found a number of statements to be quite interesting:

“Now, the world is facing a very different problem. High energy prices are again feeding over to food prices and to inflation in general. But the underlying trend in energy consumption is very different. The growth rate in world energy consumption per capita was 2.3% per year in the 2001 to 2005 period, but energy consumption per capita for the period 2017 to 2021 seems to be slightly shrinking at minus 0.4% per year. The world seems to already be on the edge of recession.”

Many conspiracy theorists argue that COVID was designed to break down cultural resistance to taking up WFH now that we had the infrastructure and capability to do it. I am open to this as a possibility.

But the conspiracy theorists would argue that it is about preparing us for a lower energy future, full stop. I would say it is more about forcing a behavioural change in the population, not to advantage the population per se, but to allow the elites to maintain the status quo for a little longer i.e. they continue to remain in charge and loot us for a little longer.

The author comes to a similar conclusion further into the article:

“Leaders will never tell us that the world has an energy shortage. Instead, leaders will tell us how awful fossil fuels are, so that we will be happy that the economy is losing their usage. They will never tell us how worthless intermittent wind and solar are for solving today’s energy problems. Instead, they will lead us to believe that a transition to vehicles powered by electricity and batteries is just around the corner. They will tell us that the world’s worst problem is climate change, and that by working together, we can move away from fossil fuels.”

This dovetails with my arguement that there really ISN’T a climate emergency. What is an emergency is that without forcing change on our societies, these elites won’t be able to maintain the status quo that has allowed them to rape and pillage our societies.

We we know with absolute certainty if there was indeed a ‘climate emergency’ by the fact that Western nations would cease immigration immediately. Importing consumer units and instantly raising them to existing Western legacy population’s living standards is the WORST thing for the environment. Absolute worst possible environmental policy.

These policies are about forcing lower consumption patterns on Western nations, so the environmental and energy savings can be backfilled with mass migration, that will enable our elites to enrich themselves further off the back of our collective sacrifices.

The world economy is a self-organizing system, so we cannot know precisely what form changes in the next few years will take. The economy can be expected to shrink back in an uneven pattern, with some parts of the world and some classes of citizens, such as workers versus the elderly, doing better than others.

This model in which to view the world economy is one that also holds a lot of appeal to me. But when you run mental simulations on it and combine it with other things, like the third law of thermodynamics, the simple fact is in a lower energy state what will emerge is a lower level of complexity.

I still reckon the right hand side of the graph is gunna be steeper than the left hand side.

There absolutely isn’t an energy shortage

we have enough uranium to power the world for millions of years – it’s effectively inexhaustible if we are willing (ie if the cost is high enough) to reprocess and extract at low concentrations

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_uranium

Just like fracking becomes economically viable again if these high oil prices persist – we probably aren’t even close to running out of oil/gas/coal either

Renewables is just a run of the mill corporate grift like vaccines

If we cared about climate change then we wouldn’t do huge emissions making a whole fleet of EVs, we’d just convert and maintain existing cars. There is roughly zero correlation between the policies of the private jetting elite and any environmental cause, and they’re not shy about that fact either.

If we cared about climate change then we wouldn’t do huge emissions making a whole fleet of EVs, we’d just convert and maintain existing cars.

I don’t think that the arithmetic works like that. The average age of the private car fleet is something like 12 years in EZFKA.

That means (on average) all existing cars will get replaced with new cars within 12 years anyway. So a new fleet of cars will be built anyway.

we just get to decide whether this new fleet is regular cars or EV or something different. M

i can imagine that with a very different approach to maintenance it could be possible to get average fleet age to 20 years or so, as an extreme. But beyond that, we’re still buying a new fleet, so even the most extreme measures delay the new fleet by a few years.

(Uncle says that to get existing cars to run to 20 years, we’re not starting from a good place. A lot of the cars on the road are now Euro trash that can’t be economically repaired. A few decades ago apparently most cars were locally built (so could be cheaply maintained) or Japanese (built to last 20 years anyway))

There is roughly zero correlation between the policies of the private jetting elite and any environmental cause, and they’re not shy about that fact either.

this is very true.

as someone posted here (Stewie?) that seems to be much about getting western nations to accept (demand?) a lower living standard as a virtue… rather than actually save the world

its really quite aggravating that these people don’t have the same open-minded approach to “muh vaccine apocalypse” as they did to the covid pandemic

Then we examined how this excess death compared to the same timeframe for Covid prior to the vaccine.

These deaths did not exist prior to the Vax. And if this was ‘Long Covid’, they should have.

Well, no, they shouldn’t have
There was only a year between the covid pandemic starting and the vaccine roll out
How the fuck are you supposed to die of “long covid” if you only caught covid a short time ago?
just really fucking retarded

also why are there excess deaths in one year olds when only 6 month olds can get vaccinated, and only very recently (July 2022)

And as well, we observed that this association between highly vaxxed counties, and young persons dying suddenly – also did not exist prior to the Vaccine Inflection date of MMWR Week 14 2021 – only AFTER that inflection.

Then proceeds to show a scatter plot which is completely randomly distributed

Not sure if these guys are grifters or just fucking stupid

The WEF led UK Government has pushed hard in its efforts to fuck their population over.

7m Euro a day for 200 hotels, to house this filth, all young male future rapists without any skills. The impacts on local English having to live with those scum in their towns and other English now unable to travel and use those hotels.

Grift is a kind word, when the main participants have clearly been engaging in criminal activity for years.

Dan Andrew’s 6th IBAC hearing won’t raise even a minute’s investigation I’m his media pack. Decent level of fraud going on, that Andrews is fully aware of. Worse still Bill Shorten has been neck deep in that shit for years but no one in the media cares.

Well fuck me dead.

We just had lunch with my sister and her family. My eldest niece was there, looking pale and thin and very subdued, which is not like her at all like her normal boisterous self.

She has degrees in psychology and exercise physiology, and works as an athletic coach and trainer. She’s one of the fittest people I know, but she’s been very unwell for a couple of months.

Cutting to the chase, after testing her for a brain tumour, Pakinsons and a bunch of other things, a couple of days ago she was diagnosed with…you’ll never guess…myocarditis aka inflammation of the heart. She said that just standing up can cause heart pounding dizziness, which is great for someone in her line of work.

As everybody knows, professional athletes in their mid 20s suffering from incapacitating heart inflammation is perfectly normal. Or at least, itbis now. 🙄

yet ANOTHER acquaintance/relative/friend of yours dying from the vaccine

What are you up to now?
I reckon you share at least one new anecdote a week, must be like 40-50 people you personally know dead or dying

what are the odds

Actually it’s about 8.

I hope you and your children end up like my niece, and then you all eat shit and die.

no come on champ it has to be way more than 8

i remember your workplace was decimated, several super fit men in their 40s and 50s dropped dead on the spot

or are you only counting the ones still lingering yet to finally cark it

“”Champ ? You champed me? That sure has cut me down to size and put me in my place.

Five people at my ex workplace died of suddenly between May 21 and Feb 22. I’d worked with one of them regularly since 1995. Twenty six years, and then he didn’t come to work one day.

One of my partner’s colleagues also died suddenly in Feb….heart attack and stroke. She was a a fit young woman. My Mum and her brother both have blood clots in their lungs. My Mum almost died. And my niece now has myocarditis.

So many people in the medical profession, which you claim to be though I have my doubts, turn out to be such cunts. And stupid with it, mixed with a great degree of self regard. It’s a puzzle.
