The Australian federal election campaign trail bamboozles its merry way along the contorted roads of fiscal largess as politicians from both major parties frantically wave clutches of $100 notes in the faces of the few remaining whites in the country under the age of 50 who have not yet been reduced to abject penury. Throw more of the taxpayers’ money at it, she’ll be right.
Money is announced for tax breaks on the interest on a new home purchase. All one needs is the 5% down deposit to jump into the Australian real estate Ponzi scheme, a mere 41 grand based on the average median home price of $820,000. Which will buy you a dog box in a suburb so far from any city center that you will bankrupt yourself on your average weekly fuel bill.
But with the cost of living crisis that has engulfed the nation, not too many folk are walking around with a spare 41 large in their back pocket.
More money, more dazzling lights, more “influencers” being paid by politicians to influence their bedazzled audiences. More, more, more. Money, money, money. Vote, vote, vote. Buy, buy, buy. Spend, spend, spend.
This is the end game of the material rat race. This farce of an election, this travesty of a political class. Australians are not seen as citizens with rights to their own nation, with the very basic rights to be able to afford to raise their children among their own on a basic wage without government interference. Elections are everything and nothing. They are everything because the government is now who we are; they don’t represent us, they are us.
They are nothing because we are nothing. We are mere economic units. We know that because our politicians speak only of money, only of spending, only of the human rights of a very non-human entity. Our politicians seek to openly bribe us because being bribed is the only reality that they themselves know.
Democracy has lead to the politicization of everything, to our very great detriment. But observing this election play out in real time, one would be forgiven into thinking that finance is the only matter of concern in Australia. And it is the only concern, for almost everyone. This isn’t just the politicians. The politicians are giving the people what they want. We truly enjoy politicians that really represent us.
People don’t want the value of their properties to drop under any circumstances. So politicians are safe and secure in the knowledge that they can continue to import over one million immigrants every year. This is why the two major parties are trying to help younger Australians get on the property Ponzi ladder. As soon as anyone takes out a mortgage for a huge amount of money on some property then they are immediately compromised on immigration.
And it’s not just property. People don’t want their stocks to devalue, they don’t want their superannuation to devalue, they don’t want their taxes to increase, money, money, money, money. So they will keep voting, and they will happily boast to any new acquaintance just how much their house is worth. Social cohesion? We don’t need social cohesion, our house is worth $3 million!
As far as the disintegration of Australia is concerned, we’re all in this together.
