yes

The world isn’t perfect unless we try

You’re talking absolute nonsense, dude. There’s no such thing as resetting the economy.

No visa extensions? That’s going to cause economic chaos, dude! Immigrants are a money-maker, removing them is just going to hit our ecnonomy. :(

What does it mean for those industries? They can hire people that are still here. Those fields aren’t held together by immigrants lol. You’re just eating up the lies about “we need more skilled immigrants!”

Yes, they are. If we can’t even conclude that fact then there’s nothing that can convince ya.

You were trying to do a “Gotcha! You’re racist!” thinking that I only wanted to stop “brown people” from coming here, weren’t you?

It’s not racist to want fewer immigrants from certain countries. Some countries and cultures aren’t entirely compatible.

Realistically we need a few million population decrease - at least 5 million - in order to dig ourselves out of this situation. Instead Labor (and the LNP to a slightly lower extent) want to keep importing people so they get more tax and can make it look like the economy is flourishing.

Labor’s brought in fewer immigrants than the LNP has. And removing five million? That’s insane. How’s that improve the economy?

You’re also implying that I’m pro-immigration, I’m not. We have too many, but that’s because we used immigration to hold up Australia after Covid. Now we’re in a tough spot where we need to remove them, but can’t risk it economically.

So what about the current immigration? The ones already here

What does that mean for the medical field, transportation, and cleaning? Immigrants are currently holding together all of these industries.

Is it just immigration from Asia or are we cool with immigration from America and Europe?

Because you said you didn’t vote for either, but all votes typically end up going to one or the other.

But what do you want done about immigration? Is it only immigration?

If your preferred party didn’t get any seats, you voted for the ALP or LNP.

Why would you prefer LNP when they were the ones who introduced more immigration?

Isn’t declining culture war ideology a positive thing? Australia has a strong sense of community and identity politics destroys that

I’ve experienced wokeness in real life. I was told by a woman that I hate Taylor Swift because of sexism.

No, I hate her because she’s an environmental hazard and bland. There is also a lot of mockery of lonely men, where their anxieties and fears are handwaved away

You also can’t say it isn’t present in real-life. Online interconnectivity is reality now.

It goes much more than that. It started as the rise of atheism, where impressionable young boys, wanting to be rebels discovered the dopamine rush of dunking on religious wackjobs like the Westboro Baptist Church. Not blaming atheism, just pointing out it started here.

It then extended further to video games and gamergate. Then they started getting political, which naturally led them down to 2016 and current times.

The point remains that the majority of them blamed wokeness

The radicalisation of young men stems from blaming them for being straight and white. It also stems from a dividing culture of men and women. This is the product of all of those “girls / boys” memes.

They grew up in a good, progressive world, where they understand sexualities and understand mental health. They grew up being taught that it’s okay to be diverse and that it’s okay to be as you are. But then it turns around and suddenly they’re all to blame for their race, or their orientation, things that they cannot prevent–Well, no wonder they’re going backwards. Once their favourite games and hobbies are infiltrated by wokeness and forcefulness, this is how they respond.

Should’ve realised that perhaps forcing social equity isn’t a good idea, and blaming young men and boys for the faults of society doesn’t gain their favour. Nah, instead let’s double-down even.

watch this space, australia is the testing ground for new services overseas. If this rolls out effectively in Australia, you can expect it in your own country soon.

i wouldn’t pirate an indie game tho

You’d think more people would realise this
