@robertswinkler @ArtemisConsort This is not going to happen. The universal voters (who do not met the threshold you state) will not vote their own franchise away.

"There is no possible democratic solution to this."
Sure there is, it gets discussed all the time. Voting is restricted to the net producers, the net taxpayers. So all those living on the taxpayer's dime can't keep voting for others' money and the politicians can't keep buying their votes with others' money. (Still need to handle the form of government pork/legal corruption though)
The hurdle is getting there from here given our current broken voting system.

Debt is the failure mode of democracy. It’s just the tragedy of the commons. No one wants to pay taxes but everyone wants their gibs. Solution: punt it to the next generation. There is no possible democratic solution to this.
America First Insight@AF_Insight
The problem is not "central bankers" or "uniparty" or "president" or anything. It's voters. They do not care about the debt enough to matter, BUT they most certainly DO CARE about the cuts that occur. Whichever party crushes the debt (mostly by crushing Social Security) will instantly lose the next election by insane margins, and Social Security will be reinstated.

@r3tarddownunder Imagine just loving life as much as Steve did. Dude radiates vitality and he's such a loss.

@nagz_the_dog @MickamiousG Net zero? Give me net negative.
Millions must go.

@MickamiousG Almost like there are issue motivated groups trying to make the situation worse so they can campaign for net zero

"Too many cars, Too much Traffic"
Yet the one thing they won't go into referencing is how HIGH immigration numbers has FUELLED the amount of cars on the road around Australia.

@Ne_pas_couvrir I'm sorry for what I put you through, grandma (both of them). You didn't need my bullshit while going through cancer (both now dead to cancer).
I love you, and I regret all the time I didn't spend learning from you.

The parents who *enthusiastically* transitioned their child will likely be locked in an irreversible demoralization forever. Admitting they enthusiastically mutilated their own child would be psychologically unbearable, so they’ll defend this ideology, forever.
English
@elegationvain @PrishaMosley I think it's one step worse than this. I think they HAVE purpose, meaning, social connections: They're just grossly misapplied in ways that are deeply unsatisfying.
They are not merely starving, they've got bellies filled with rocks and mudcake out of confused desperation.
English
@PrishaMosley Because both are the result of loneliness and lack of purpose/meaning/social connection, etc.

Why do youth who identify as LGBTQ+ have much higher rates of depression, anxiety, and suicidality?

The new atheist movement was a mix of persnickety truth autists and people who hate their dads. The dad-haters won.
arctotherium@arctotherium42
New Atheist movement split between people who thought atheism and evolution were true and intrinsically important, and (much more numerous) people who saw them as useful cudgels to own Evangelicals.
English
@AntipodeEmpire Australia likes to pretend we aren't, in the same way a teenage child will reject their parents, but that's just because we were only beginning to find ourselves independent from what's before.
That does not remove that history though, and we need to remember it now.
English
@StayFree2030 Never forget that an equally-big reason for this being the case is that we have been taxed and otherwise siphoned by our own governments and vulture NGOs to fund the battery-farming of third world foreigners.
They would not be this plentiful if left alone, without our free gibs.
English
The biggest lie ever imposed on the British public is that they are not the real ‘Ethnic Minority’…

@WallStreetMav First up, yes. It's not the end.
Second, yes this 'psychological black death' we face will have a neat recovery opportunity afterward.
Third, our world (and its infrastructures) are designed for loads much higher and for skilled workers. Many more than will remain. This is bad.

Population decline from lower birth rates is not the end of the world.
Eventually incentives will change and the population will recover, as long as you don't import millions of Muslims to replace your culture and all of your citizens.

@theinnawoods @AntipodeEmpire ngl, Lee was more civilised and worthy an inheritor of what was brought to this island than a not-ignorable number of Britons.

@RokoMijic @SydSteyerhart I don't doubt that much. I just like the idea of being unreachable without sufficiently advanced tech to be a great benefit.

@unreadlibraries @SydSteyerhart If someone has a nuclear weapon you are definitely not safe anywhere including under water, or even in space.

@CubeMammal @ScottRCarpenter Also they're more important because they aren't unproductive muslim countries currently collapsing under pushes for race communism.

@unreadlibraries @ScottRCarpenter If you’re vassals than where’s the tithing? You’ve got a big unpaid bill!
Youre just Middle Powers, get over it. Israel also is a Middle Power, and Japan, but they’re more important than you. Take a guess why

Citizens of Canada, Australia, Western Europe and the UK are learning two important lessons:
One - they were never as important geopolitically as they thought they were (at least not since WW2)
And
Two - their own governments are responsible for the deteriorating conditions of their nations.
English
@CubeMammal @ScottRCarpenter We pay plenty of it. Australia (for example) has essentially given the majority of its natural resources away to the US (via its big companies) for 20+ years.
English
@wyrdfullfixed @tsupdawgs @AntipodeEmpire I'm willing to extend the consideration a little bit further than that because I am poisoned by universal liberalism from birth (and is why I said anglo-european at most dilute) but absolutely.
English
@unreadlibraries @tsupdawgs @AntipodeEmpire Ethnic Aussies are Anglo-Celtic, it’s very simple and very true and it triggers the f out of lefties and many civic Australians from other backgrounds
English
@ChefTolio @thepeacepoet99 I think that if you are chronically performing a practice mechanically-alike chinese foot-binding for a few years (during peak developmental periods no less) that will inevitably have physiological (medical even) effects that could be life-long in consequence.
Just a bet.
English
@unreadlibraries @thepeacepoet99 Unbiased AI supercomputer defined it as social transition. Dunno what else you want
English
Hi everyone. My name is Maia, I’m 26 years old, and I’m a detransitioner.
I am happy to report that I am very much alive despite the manifold wishes of deadname brigade to “silence” me, for the crime of engaging in respectful discourse with both trans & detrans people on X.
English
@TheHughAnthony Hot take: Even if it is, that just means this is a civil matter and a 'fair' fight between two groups.
And I know who will win on those terms.
English
We don’t care about your fear mongering words.
Deporting people back to their homeland is not ‘ethnic cleansing’. It’s ethnic protection of our own people.
Britain has a right to exist.
ReUnited@ReUnitedGB
@Lewisrendell1 @TheHughAnthony So, are you arguing that ethnic cleaning isn’t illegal? Or are you arguing that deporting Africans, Indians and Pakistanis doesn’t fit this definition? Because those are your only two options. Bless you for playing and trying, though.
English
@ChefTolio @thepeacepoet99 Also, plenty of 'trans' folks are accessing medicalisation via back channels. Bathtub grey markets, etc. No professionals involved.
Binders are something also issued on this basis as we have since found.
English
@unreadlibraries @thepeacepoet99 Are braces fastened to your body unable to be removed without a medical professional?
English
@ChefTolio @thepeacepoet99 Question: Are braces (for teeth) social?

@unreadlibraries @thepeacepoet99 That is specifically social. She made no invasive changes or took any hormones

@CJPomfret @shallowchal God forbid a man change his mind in light of new information.

@shallowchal Come on Scotty, we are not dumb. You are a paid activist pretending to be grass roots . Last election you were pushing the Liberal brand. Now you are trying to trash it and promote One Nation as the conservative movement shifts strategies to try to establish MAGA in Aus.

Australias Dirty Secrets 🤫
1. We support the war in Ukraine but use Russian oil.
2. We import non assimilating cultures to replace our own people.
3. We use mass immigration to fudge economic data.
4. The government despises you but smiles as it wrecks the country.
5. Free trade wrecked Australia.
6. Australia is a Ponzi scheme full of disabled people and disability workers.
