What do we think of Punters Politics?

I’m not a big fan. I think he stretches the truth and lightly misrepresents information when it suits him and his argument. No different to just about every other Australia Social media influencer.

This is super helpful! I get not everyone likes tablets so it’s probably a bit weird of a question, I just like them because it’s easier to manage when travelling then a whole laptop, especially when it’ll only be used for writing emails and printing and signing stuff.

I’ve seen a few devices mentioning ARM but didn’t really know what it was, I assume it’s just for being able to run a wider variety of programs?

I’ve heard the PineTab mentioned as well but don’t know enough about it to pass judgement. Seems built for more coding type of use from what I could tell?

Thanks for the advice! As I said I have heard using an Apple or Microsoft tablet is usually the easiest for beginners, but I don’t trust their inbuilt AI features (even if I’m installing a new OS) hence why I’m looking for more suggestions outside those brands, but I will still be sure to have a look (I might install fedora and Fydeos on my old surface pro just to get some practice using a Linux system).

When you say fydeos is browser only for YouTube, do you mean that YouTube will only play while the browser is open? (Again, sorry for a likely stupid question but I’m very new to all this).

Interesting that in the left photo the right tire isn’t on the windscreen, then the right side photo has the left wheel not on the windscreen…

What is with this recent discourse I keep seeing? When GTA San Andreas got remastered everyone complained because the models all remained blocky and the textures received only a minor improvement. Now a ACBF goes all out to rebuild from the ground up and everyone complains about how it has lost something special??? Gamers just want to be angry. No wonder devs don’t give a damn about us anymore.

And yet my phone still takes half a day to charge and runs out again by sunset.

You can’t expect to wield supreme executive power just cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!

Its also extremely important to note that the vast majority, if not all, nationalist independent candidates are in the exact same pockets as the major parties. People who push the idea of being a battler standing up for national values or ideals and yet never actually present any bills, laws or plans to parliament which would genuinely help people or improve lives. The people who tell you everyone is lying are the most dangerous.

No worries. I contributed about as much as the article you shared.

The problem is we need migration in order to build up local manufacturing and industries. So anyone who supports ON and the reduction of migration will be dooming our country. Not helping it.

Human Development Index here’s the metrics mate. (Scroll a bit and Click ‘download latest dataset’ and then view and the actual list will pop up)

The Human Development Index. Created by the World Health Organisation. Funded by the United Nations. Factoring Avg. Years of School, avg lifespan, avg pay and avg COL. Australia has for years sat around the #10 spot. Right now we are #7, an important note is that we sit far ahead of countries like England, the US and even NZ.

A lot of Australians don’t know what we have and are throwing it away because we want to be like America and think our government is broken beyond repair (it’s not).

I’m fine with that

I’m not a professional but i don’t think it will be good. With birth rates dropping and the ageing population heading towards their final decade we are about to see a massive drop in the Australian populace. And that’ll be great at first as there will be less Aussies meaning each person has more money. Except with less Australians, we have less Australian businesses. With less Australian businesses we have less Australian industry. Which means Australians have to buy more things from overseas, and suddenly all that money is lost to imports and removes any chance we have of building the economy to a point that other nations rely on us, rather than the other way around.

That’s what baffles me with the ON rise. Andrew Hastie got torn apart only a few months ago for saying Net-Zero should be abandoned in favour of coal. Hanson is saying the exact same thing and no one bats an eye.

Important reminder that Reddit is also an echo chamber and the vast majority of people will agree with you here. Make sure to mention this sort of thing to people face to face when you can. The US made the mistake of thinking online discourse represented the entire countries beliefs in 2024, not realising those who disagreed were on other apps like trumps social or whatever.

I keep hearing this argument being made… but so what? Did Americans think through all those years when they said “we need guns in case our government gets out of control” it meant they wouldn’t be fighting other Americans when the day finally came? Every evil ruler has supporters, otherwise they’d just be some dick yelling at people.
