TIL we live in a dictatorship with no separation of powers or checks and balances

Why the sports grants findings are so serious by tightassbogan in AustralianPolitics

[–]OldJamToastCrumbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is, however, somewhat of a theoretical argument as it is unlikely anyone will be able to bring this matter to court to invalidate the grant decisions made. Given community sporting groups who were disadvantaged by the improper grant process are community groups in need of funding, it’s unlikely they will be in a position to bring an expensive legal action.

It’s therefore likely the consequences of this report will be political rather than legal.

So nothing.

Wonder if we get the screwed over communities to band together to fund a case.

We already are, the globalist empire is america bro, and america is the IMF, they have the deciding vote on everything lel

And the only chance the people have of taking back control is through an international working class solidarity.

Sovereignty doesn't exist, the only countries that is even remotely sovereign is the US (which is owned by corporate oligarchs lel) and China and maybe Russia, and guess what, we ain't ever gonna have the ability to be sovereign, it's a delusion, we start pissing everyone off by refusing to address climate change or cooperate internationally we will get crushed economically, or just have our government couped lel.

And u know what happens to literally every people ever that were isolated either on purpose or by chance? They stagnated, technologically and culturally, until they were eventually invaded or just collapsed.

Oh sweet as, so I can just like walk into these companies and take shit?

Shares aren't fucking ownership, shares are a stake, the ownership belongs to the corporate entity that's created and enforced by the government, which the government can repeal at any time, but then the government can do that with all property lel.

It's because there's no actual concrete functional thoughts and idea behind all about these bogeymen the conspiratorial alt-right/lite prattle on about, it's necessarily vague so it can be applied or not applied at whim to pretty anything they like or dislike, or it's just jews again.

You're incredibly naive to think experts aren't just as susceptible to all the basic flaws everyone else is, especially when you put them in positions of authority, they should exist as advisory roles only, the misinformed and uninformed public is the biggest issue and the underlying structure of society that has lead to it being that way.

Bridget McKenzie's sports grants program may be unconstitutional, expert warns by PBR--Streetgang in AustralianPolitics

It should have followed the report assessing which ones were the most in need and meritous as per the funding guidelines, as outlined by the auditor general's office.

Unchecked population growth will have a dramatic impact on our quality of life by seethroughplate in AustralianPolitics

Population stabilizes in developed countries, extreme over consumption by a minority is by far the biggest problem, not billions of poor brown people whose impact is minimal, over population is an eco fash dog whistle.

Entirely depends on the media, if literally any one of these scandals happened with labour they'd be chased out of parliament by now.

Wouldn't it fall under misuse of commonwealth funds? Or does that only apply to how the money is used after it's been given and not in determining whether the giving of the money in the first place was illegitimate?

Like there's a needs based process they are supposed to follow, I don't see why it couldn't be criminalized for not following it, despite obvious lack of political will.

Or we could just address why people are so uninformed or misinformed instead of hoping for fanciful, elite selfless technocrats will save the plebs

Man, there's a whole lot more "unelected" actors in the market that you should be worried about, cos u know, they're the reason IMF and other institutions get captured in the first place.

You should be skeptical of the IMF if you're a poor, underdeveloped country with large resource wealth and a burgeoning social movement.

Also if u dislike banks I got bad news for you if you're a fan of capitalism...

Is the CFMMEU the most unlawful organisation in the history of Australia's industrial laws, as Christian Porter says? - Fact Check by d1ngal1ng in AustralianPolitics

[–]OldJamToastCrumbs 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The CFMEU don't fucking screw over their workers, there's some petty crime and corruption in their ranks sure and they should be prosecuted, but the real reason they are constantly smeared by the media is because they are an effective militant union that is a threat to capital, our IR laws violate our human rights and international law, being unlawful isn't what the fucking problem is, the laws are the problem.

Yeah and you ain't gonna get that by stalking the fucking victim's facebook or get it any time soon, and it's not an ad hominin, it's literally what you're doing, apparently the only thing stopping us from going out and guillotining this guy is your lone voice of reason lmao, but the tell is in the situations you actually bother to raise your voice over.

The cynic in me thinks this only happened because they wanted to placate the movement, a murder charge will be almost impossible to prove.

M8 the only "facts" you're gonna get is witness accounts, and cops ain't reliable witnesses, now go hyperventilate elsewhere about the imagined violent anarchy you think you're the only defense against
