post-collapse australia is going to be an interesting place because the government only has control around the coasts. a huge amount of the inland riverine farming country is owned and run by the sicilian and calabrian mafias

You can't just drop a hot claim like that and walk away, my goon.

Excuse me, pardon me, sheer perfection coming through
there's at least one wiki article i found on it:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honoured_Society_(Australia)

wiki posted:

A report in 2016 by Vice Media indicated that illegal activities continued to be profitable: "Between 2004 and 2014, the gang's members amassed more than $10 million [$7.6 million USD] in real estate and race horses in Victoria alone pouring money into wholesalers, cafes, and restaurants".[14]

A June 2015 report by BBC News discussed an investigation by Fairfax Media and Four Corners which alleged that "the 'Ndrangheta, runs a drugs and extortion business worth billions of euros" in Australia and that "politicians have been infiltrated by the Calabrian mafia".[15] The 2016 report by Vice Media reported that "a court found 'it was reasonable for police to suspect accused Melbourne Mafia boss Antonio Madafferi had put out a $200,000 [$150,000 USD] hit on a man he believed was providing information to [newspaper] The Age'".[16]

In February 2020, two individuals, said to be "multimillionaire fruit and vegetable kings" were alleged to be 'Ndrangheta "capos", having a relationship with the "secretive criminal organisation". The Sydney Morning Herald report specified that the two "are not accused of any crime in either Italy or Australia". The alleged information was obtained during investigations of other individuals during Operation Eyphemos in Calabria,[17] which "led to the arrest ... of 65 men for alleged mafia activities including extortion and political corruption in Calabria".[18]

you don't have to tweet

it's like putting a message in a bottle and sending it out to sea. you have very little chance that anyone will ever find or read it, and even if they do it would be nearly impossible to know or make any difference at all, and it is all about the symbolic action. onto a single sheet of paper you fluidly wrote "only god can make the earth warmer," sealed it into a glass vessel, and then hurled it into the ocean. except on the internet. its the same symbolism

lmao the report is built around a whole bunch of unrealistic assumptions, including that record coal use will drop to zero in 18 years through year after year of steep declines. Germany also gets plenty of praise.

PNW. It has a 1/3 chance of having The Big One this century or by 2050, I forget which. Your whole life goes up 10 feet and then down 20 and it's over soon.
