Great article, and the restriction on freedom of speech feels like its creeping in everywhere. X being bought by musk was a good thing for slowing down the plan but without more people making a stand on this and speaking out whilst they still get reach, I feel it will drift upon us and laws will be used to make people scapegoats to their new restrictive laws.
In Covid they overplayed their hand and now are rushing these things in to try and ensure nobody with any common sense on any topic is allowed to question anything other than the agreed arguments they allow. I hope some governments are strong enough to go their own path.
Great piece - thx Jordan. We too left WA - late last year - having lived through the tyrannical reign of Mark McGowan through Covid. The most frightening aspect wasn't the power grab by politicians , nor the corrupt media and health bureaucrats - no, it was the willingness of the Australian public - including our friends, family and work colleagues - to so easily, so blindly succumb to their divisive tactics and, ignoring their own common sense, completely ceding to 'authority' figures. For giving away their rights and insisting, bullying, threatening others do the same.
As a reader of history and science, this mass formation hysteria has many precedences.
And the outcomes are never good. As you say, it came time to vote with your feet, while you still can - before the exits are removed completely. We are in Ecuador and hope to visit Argentina one day soon, we pray Millieu will be able to turn the country around!
As I sit here reading your article with my friend ☕during my morning routine here in Melbourne, Australia, I've never read anything so relatable. The drifters mindset of Australians I believe is created from decades of good times...now with weak men leading...well, you know the rest. Excellent article Jordan, I don't usually take the time to read articles this length, but it was totally worth it. Godspeed to you mate.
Good article - thank you GT. Our son lives in Brisbane & is finally beginning to 'wake up' to the world wide tyranny. Canada, New Zealand & Australia are captured, in addition to certain States here in the US. I will never stop speaking TRUTH to tyranny, knowledge is Freedom. In God we Trust - dear Lord deliver us from evil & help us to help ourselves ...

Cheers Dan, couldn't agree more with that mate. 🤝

Thank you once again, and keep up the good work!
So refreshing to read that Colin as that's exactly what I experienced in WA.
Hope you're enjoying Ecuador. Thanks for reading the article and the feedback.
