In early August, Melbourne, Australia, imposed a mystifying sixth lockdown because eight cases of COVID-19 were detected. As cases of the Delta variant spread from the early clusters in the cities, nearly every major metro went back to implementing lockdowns. They remain in place and bar people from leaving their homes except for essential exercise, shopping, and caregiving.

This warning did not deter the protests as thousands of Australians in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane clashed with police. Reuters reports the arrest of hundreds of protestors and seven police officers sustained injuries. In Melbourne, protesters broke the police lines.

They have not been free since they gave up their guns.

Just finding it out now, apparently.

NOTE: The Australian Prime Minister, Scott Morrison is ( or now was ) considered the MORE CONSERVATIVE Prime Minster compared to the opposition’s candidates - the Labor Party.

One can just imagine what Australia would be like with a Labor Party Prime Minister.

RE: I think the PM is some chick of Armenian descent.

The PREMIER of the State of New South Wales is a Woman - Gladys Berejiklian. She is of the Labor Party ( the equivalent of our Democrats here in the USA ).

I was talking about the PRIME MINISTER of Australia in my post ( the equivalent of our President ). He is supposed to be conservative ( emphasis on supposed ).

“ They have not been free since they gave up their guns.”

Better they found out late rather than never. There does appear to be a little bit of testosterone left down under though.

It didn’t take long for Australia to go from mostly civilized to a totalitarian dictatorship. Giving up their guns played a large part.

Do not trust your government under any circumstances! Even if things are going well, and you’re getting all your benefits, know that they are waiting until you’re just soft enough, and then they start attaching the chains.

——A Liberal Paradise -——

I have coined the term Metropia for the progressive ideal city state utopia.

In progressive theory, the total application of progressive ideals is Metropia, liberal Paradise

What has happened is that the Metropias that exist are rotting from within. The progressives are powerless to halt the rot.

As conservatives, we are winning as internal the rot worsens

‘They have not been free since they gave up their guns.’

right, if they’d just kept those guns they could’ve rushed out their front doors brandishing them at the cops and military...

Australia is a test case for globalist tyranny and depop.
