Rioting will just cause lockdowns and curfews and people getting beaten and arrested by cops.

Striking has a better chance to help but it needs to be soon before AI is actually good enough to replace us all (maybe 2 years away?)

After that point we have no more leverage and will be fucked.

Sounds disgusting.

John Howard fucked us and then no one undid the damage.

Terrorism is the war of the poor, and war is the terrorism of the rich.

-Peter Ustinov

I think it’s very true. Countries use violence to get what they want all the time. It isn’t always justified as we can see. It isn’t always to make the world a better place. Often it’s just for their own benefit with some half baked justification added as an afterthought.

So other than having a uniform on what makes a military different to say the IRA?

Both use violence to achieve their goals and both would claim to be right.

If a foreign power occupied your country and there were no peaceful ways to force them out, would you accept subjugation or would you resist too?

Fucking hell they won’t be done until we do not have even a bit of privacy left!

Deport Pauline and Gina!

Well that is perfectly normal. But using it for work is madness.

Same. It’s like we are our own worst enemies!

Its almost like banning things rarely works!

So bots are allowed but real users get banned? Make it make sense!

Reddit sucks. They seem to automate bans like Threads does? I cant even create an account on Threads without it getting banned instantly.

Its like these sites dont want users?

Thanks so much!

What about for 1 million?

Sad to hear.

1987 conviction and imprisonment

Hinch served 12 days in prison and was fined A$15,000 in 1987 for contempt of court after he publicly revealed paedophile Roman Catholic priest Michael Charles Glennon’s prior conviction while a trial was still pending.

2011 conviction and home detention

In June 2011, he was convicted of breaching suppression orders against the names of two sex offenders, and was subsequently sentenced to five months’ home detention.

2014 conviction and imprisonment

In October 2013, Hinch was found guilty of contempt of court for breaching a suppression order by revealing details of the criminal history of Jill Meagher’s killer, Adrian Ernest Bayley. The judge gave Hinch 90 days to pay the fine, or else face 50 days in prison.[47] On 16 January 2014, one day prior to the expiration of the 90-day period, Hinch advised that he would not pay the fine ‘on principle’. He was imprisoned on 17 January 2014.[48] On 7 March 2014, he was released from prison after 50 days, having served his full sentence. He was greeted by his partner Natasha Chadwick, other friends and a substantial media contingent.

RIP Derryn

Edit maybe it wasn’t that smart tho?

Fuck that guy

Those bastards!

But didn’t the kid kill someone in a bar fight before he even meets the gang?

There are no “good” characters in the novel that I recall. The kid is really bad even though he is still just a kid. No one tries to guide him to the correct path. No one seems to care. Good doesn’t have a chance to exist in this novel because if it did it would immediately be destroyed by all the badness.

I think McCarthys view is men left to their own devices are bad. Law and order and civilisation are needed for good to exist. There is no real law and I dont remember God being mentioned much either except by the preacher at the start that the Judge has killed just because he can.

I prefer Blood Meridian but it must be said: it is not for everyone. BM is heavy on mood, imagery, description but has little in the way of plot. It’s a bit like reading someone’s dreams - undefined and bizarre but with the sense there is some important meaning or insight at its heart. I think the insight is men are bad by nature. He could be right.
