Cross posting from CSPAM because it's funny as gently caress. Also because the continued US right wing meltdown over Australia has the potential to actually have a material effect on our politics down the line, i.e: lobbying/financing attempts to free us from this tyranny.

I know from a purely political compass view they're libertarians but I think this analysis vastly over simplifies how much hippies are desperate for the right kind of authoritarianism actually now that I say it out loud they're perfect libertarians

I wonder how Scott Morrison with his conspiracy-believing buddy feels when he's being painted as the architect of totalitarianism in the country when all he's ever wanted to do was open the country up to business as usual and milk it to get another term in office.

If the federal government didn't divest literally all responsibility maybe he'd have done it. Ah well.

One thing that came up with covid triage overseas is that some US hospital systems had preplanned triage/crisis standards of care systems that never got activated because they required health emergency declarations that never got issued. It's a bad look politically to admit the hospitals in your area are turning sick people away, so some state governors just refused to admit it was happening. The hospitals were literally full so the triage still occurred, but because it was unofficial there were no bioethicists or commitees to issue recommendations or make rulings, all the tough decisions and moral injury fell on individual doctors. I really hope that doesn't happen here.

Anybody else still avoiding restaurants and bars etc until (if) case numbers die down? My partner's immunocompromised so I know I'm not going to be the norm (and as much as I feel FOMO I don't begrudge anybody else their end of lockdown joy) but I'm curious how many people in the general populace are still keen to avoid catching it, especially after we've spent so long being conditioned to fear it and strive for elimination.

Does that have to be, like, actively avoiding or can it also be just a natural consequence of the pandemic destroying the final frayed ends of my social life?

Solemn Sloth posted:My wife got fined for not voting in a liquor licence poll lol Same. Was traveling around at the time so wasn't getting mail. They didn't think that was a good enough excuses. It was literally, just should a local cafe get a liquor license. Like I think mandatory showing up a voting place is a good thing to avoid exclusionary bs like you see in the states and what not, but like really? gently caress that poo poo. Particularly as there were so many much more important decision made i wouldn't of minded a vote that they didn't give. Arbitrary bullshit.

So are we going to end up like the UK (50000 cases a day with 80% adult vaccination, hospital system collapsing, talking about reimposing more restrictions again) or Singapore (4000 cases with 80% total population vaccination, maybe not as big of a widespread social disaster but still enough for the hospital system to be overwhelmed and return to more restrictions)? The tone of reporting suggests the UK is doing worse than Singapore but per capita the case numbers and deaths are similar between the two. Maybe the latter (I think Australian vaccination is on a trajectory to surpass the UK, and we have marginally less dysfunctional public policy even from the LNP) but it's not exactly something to look forward to. Iceland and Portugal seem to be doing ok, but not sure what it would take to replicate that experience. ModernMajorGeneral fucked around with this message at 14:23 on Oct 22, 2021 |

The Kelso/Townsville mutiny of 1942 was partially covered up until a report was found in 2012, but that report references a second report that describes punishments. The aftermath is rumoured to be that southern white officers (who were the ones who were behind the instigating racism-based lockdown) performed summary executions of the ringleaders before shipping everyone else off to Papua New Guinea. But no-one has been able to find the report.
