I suppose it's all the famous examples from history of easily invaded socialist sates like the USSR, North Vietnam and China. Just getting invaded and rolled all the loving time.

You've still not explained why, if the greens did get their way, we'd become such an easy and alluring target? Just realised you're a union guy who thinks uniting people against exploitation makes them pushovers. Tasmantor fucked around with this message at 11:44 on Apr 7, 2018 |

JBP's post-apocalyptic fantasies aside, don't forget this is just NSW Greens policy. Not necesarily all of it will be adopted federally.

"Take over" doesn't really seem like the result or intended goal in any American excursions, just a very successful flourishing destruction industry, flattening non-hegemonal bodies. It's not like Libya was ever intended to be state 51 How'd Georgia and Ukraine go for Russia? I honestly haven't kept track of either post invasion

"Force" politicians to allow you to buy everything out from under the citizens by bribing them. Oh wait that happens now. Also  at the talk of what Greens would do in power. They're never getting power but I admire your spirit people.

Can't wait for Dutton to become PM on a platform of white only immigration in spite of everything. Then he'll change the rules using his superministry so he never has to face another election. Dutton, PM for life.

Gentleman Baller posted:The Daily Mail is going for the coup de grāce on the besieged Greens. Don't get too optimistic about this, the way the greens work is that any change to the status quo requires 75%+1 to pass and the manifesto is more of a pressure thing from the left than any actual party policy. I would be very surprised (in a good way mind) if parts of this get taken to the actual state/federal election.
