It bothers me greatly that all these English-speaking nations are turning into Orwellian universes.
It's almost as if Burroughs' language-is-a-virus theory has greater merit than we may have thought previously, and this viral behavior is supercharged in the English language which, if I understand correctly, is considered by linguists to be the richest, most descriptive and sophisticated of all languages.
Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States seem to be inclined at an ever-increasing pace towards totalitarianism.
This is terrible and another straw on the Australian camel's back. Recall their governments actions with the Covid-19 freak out. Non of the shit they pulled during the pandemic has been rescinded, they can re-implement it at the drop of a hat. Australia has moved in a very worrisome direction.
How much control is enough? I mean rhetorically. I could only imagine what would happen here if our 2nd Amendment was taken away. Nobody would keep the government in check.
It's funny, for no particular reason, I grew up in Texas feeling like the only place in the world that would react more negatively than Texas at an attack on personal rights (especially firearms) would be Australia. With a possible nudge given to New Zealand.
I agree with those who ask, 'What TF happened to them?'

All bastions of woman’s rights. The mindset and political leaning of women are the tipping point of this problem. To be fair, they have every right to live how they want but it’s gotten to the point of forcing it on everyone. If you don’t comply you are to be punished.
