I'd almost say why bother with an Aus. election thread.

This Aus. election is so #LowEnergy...

I was going to, but after looking at the state of our current parties, I just couldn't get excited. More of the same old voting *against* the dickheads you hate the most instead of voting *for* any party we want to support.

Seems to be the central tenant of leftism:

"Like, vote against teh capitalists/patriarchy/Christian theocrats/corporations/angry old white men, cause they're the reason you can't get a job above min wage, or like something, dude..."

Given the last three Federal elections here, any party leader you elect is going to be replaced by after the first negative opinion poll by a new leader whose personal politics has more in common with the dickheads you hated the most rather than the party you supposedly-elected anyway.

It's beyond Low Energy. To go full Aussie here: #Shitsfuckedmate

Australia is pretty interesting for their ability to repeatedly knife the sitting PM in the back... What, 5 times in a row between the two parties?

I'm normally right into elections when they happen and throw a party on election night. However this year I just don't give a shit. I'm not inspired or moved by it at all. Very weird for me.

Both my brothers haven't voted in an election where we've ended that election cycle with the same PM that we started with. I'm 10 years older than the youngest one. I only just scraped in with voting in one of the last Howard :)puke:) years ones.
 
I didn't see a single reply tweet which tried to refute the article's analysis on SJWs. It was all either hurt feelings or "Senator, why did you link to a convicted rapist (false) who tried to enter Australian (false) but had his visa revoked (false)?"

Related to my discussion of 'Wowsers' earlier:

I picked up this old book of Australian history recently. As well as being mentioned throughout the book, 'Wowsers' get a double-page spread devoted to them, so I'll quote some of it, particularly the great descriptions of what they are.

The Wail of the Wowser: Saving Australians from themselves

Australia has a rich and colourful slang, as the 6000 or more words in Sidney J Baker's The Australian Language show, and at least one has gained international currency - the mangificent word 'Wowser'. The great American Lexicographer, H.L. Mencken, described it as an 'excellent noun' and himself used it. The sleuths of the big Oxford English Dictionary found it in the London Daily News in 1909, and the next year, it even crept into the staid London Morning Post.

What is a Wowser? The closest approximation in English is 'kill-joy' and in American, 'blue nose'. The Oxford Dictionary definition is 'a Puritanical enthusiast or fanatic'.

Australian Definitions

In 1910, when Sydney's liberal-minded Cardinal Moran used the word three times in a speech, a newspaper held an enquiry into its meaning. William Holman, New South Wales Attorney-General, said a wowser was 'a man who, being entirely destitute of the greater virtues, makes up for their lack by a continuous denunciation of the little vices'.

In 1912, the Premier of Western Australia, John Scaddan, gave a more succinct definition: 'a person who is more shocked at seeing two inches of underskirt than he would be at seeing a mountain of misery'.

Which is why theoretical Islamaphobia upsets them more than an actual mass shooting by a Muslim.

Despite more than a century of time passing, both of these descriptions are still startlingly-apt. All societal progress is an illusion - fundamentally, people don't change, the nature of the sins do.

Case in point:

Wowsers have exercised a dank and melancholy influence on Australian life, with their clamant objections to almost anything that made other people happy, from Sunday sport, to Dancing, from 'mixed bathing' - as it used to be called - to having a drink after 6 pm.

In his 1917 Lenten pastoral letter, Dr Michael Kelly, Roman Catholic Archbishop of Sydney, denounced collectively 'the feast, the dance, the theatre, the racecourse, the stadium, the field sports, etc...' and warned that those sho spent their days 'in good cheer... in a moment go down to hell'.

Man, do those two look familiar...

The Trump Effect down under! Exporting patriotism around the globe. Globalist ideology has no roots to the people, and which is why it is doomed in the end. Back to the nation state baby!
 
Apparently Bernardi spent 3 months last year in the States soaking up the atmosphere & learning what he could from the Trump campaign. Great news if true.

Make Australia Great Again Cory!
 
Trump needs allies, including an opposition party to the ruling globalist orthodoxy currently running Down Under. As powerful as Trump is, he knows he needs alliances. Hopefully Le Pen can win France, and Australia and others start making inroads against the establishment scum. I'm optimistic, but we have much work to do to get the message out there.
 
From the ridicule that Pauline "Chip Shop" Hanson has copped over the 20 odd years she's been playing politics, I've noticed a big shift in public attitude especially amongst the more intelligent blue collar worker. Many times in the past 6 months have I heard a colleague or friend express admiration at her tenacity, at the very least.

There was movement at the station, for the word had passed around
That the colt from Old Regret had got away...


Bernardi could be the stallion we're all waiting for. Bernardi can engage the higher minded working man who just can't back a bogan.

If a Liberal had turned independent and formed a new far left party then the Bolsheviks at the ABC would have been singing their praises to high heaven and lauding them as having taken the most difficult and moral road of all.

That the ABC is instead pillorying Bernardi is proof positive of how terrified they are of the idea that Australians might have woken up to the "far left vs center left" scam of Australian politics.

Typical Leftist parody shit already started

Congratulations on your decision to join the Conservative Rightwing Australia Party (CRAP), our nation’s foremost assembly of conservative intellectuals, the spiritually pure, people who misspell ‘halal’, Nazi memorabilia collectors, and 22-year-old virgins who wear bow-ties. As the leader of our great party, I am honoured to have you in our ranks, and I look forward to seeing you at one of our many great book burnings and other social events.
Senator Cory Bernardi, CRAP leader

Other parties are at 19% of the vote right now. Labor are extreme left, and the liberals are moderate left. There is a huge chunk of Australia craving a true conservative option.

The media are painting Cory as the new Pauline... I hope Cory aims higher because there is a path to Prime Minister. Don't be fooled by the media.

Right now, in the hands of Labor or the Liberals we've lost our nation. One side are the Nancy Pelosi's while the other are the Paul Ryans. Both will sell us down the river for foreign investors and multi cultural regimes.

Now isn't the time to worry about Bernardi fracturing the Coalition vote, it's the time to realise that if we don't help him become a major political player, we will lose our nation.
