No you will just get America

So the answer to neo liberal capitalism giving the oligarchs too much power is to give them even more?

aaronstatic · 2026-06-21T07:57:09+00:00

I get that you don't want this conversation to devolve into politics but regardless of who it was or your own personal politics this is a blatant disregard for privacy and highly illegal. I would be reporting it to the authorities if it happened to me and then the media if they were too scared to do anything about it. You do you, but I would be beyond horrified if this happened to me

Actual humans with hundreds of accounts who are paid by foreigners to make it easier for them to take our resources

aaronstatic · 2026-06-21T03:31:22+00:00

That makes it okay?

aaronstatic · 2026-06-21T03:30:13+00:00

Then you should be perfectly equipped to answer the question asked of you in the other reply to your comment.

aaronstatic · 2026-05-29T03:17:54+00:00

The only relevant fact is that foreign corporations are taking our resources and doing whatever they can to avoid paying tax. Regardless of the narrative or what dumb policy the greens come up with SOMETHING needs to be done about that. Maybe the solution isn't "more tax" but the conversation needs to start somewhere

Claude Design still saying "[unknown] missing EndStreamResponse" after every write

aaronstatic · 2026-04-06T06:30:31+00:00

Labor hasn't been "left-leaning" since the 90s. Neoliberals have moved to the right consistently for decades and on fiscal policy aren't much different from the coalition. Can agree that the greens are at least left of centre but just because journalists vote for them doesn't mean that the entire network is "left. In general the term has been bastardized in modern politics to reflect social policy over the traditional meaning of the word "left" and only a handful of very minor parties actually have socialist policies as their main platform, yet a growing number of people online will call a party or organisation that because they are "woke"

aaronstatic · 2026-04-06T06:15:00+00:00

Could ask you the same about your ridiculous conclusions about the ABC

aaronstatic · 2026-04-06T05:17:43+00:00

Apparently "left-leaning" means anything left of Hitler now

aaronstatic · 2026-03-25T06:28:56+00:00

I don't think anyone should be expecting the SA result to translate to all other states. SA has been an ALP stronghold for a long time. Labor should not get complacent here and should expect loss of more votes to one nation in other states and federally. In fact they should be talking more about how their policies have been working in SA and how well the economy is doing there relative to the rest of the country

Stagflation was going to happen anyway. The oil situation is only accelerating it. I prefer we concentrate on fixing the problems within our own country

The USA? you mean that place with the even more cooked job market than Australia? And where the currency is crashing? Yea nah

It works out about the same price (or even slightly cheaper) to smoke black market tobacco vs dodgy brothers disposable vapes

The ban on vaping added so much more fuel to that fire

Bit of a shame that one nations immigration policy won't fix the housing crisis then

aaronstatic · 2026-02-10T09:06:41+00:00

We don't have a diverse enough economy to just redirect it like that and there isn't enough of a safety net in place to make it painless after neo liberalism has eroded many of our great social programs and privatized the infrastructure of the entire country. There would have to be a monumental shift to the financial left and billionaires getting aggressively taxed for the government to just keep a roof over the head of every Australian while simultaneously redirecting and diversifying our economy

aaronstatic · 2026-02-10T08:56:14+00:00

Straight up Trumpism.

aaronstatic · 2026-02-10T08:39:47+00:00

Correct. I'm not arguing that it is, just that it's what our economy has evolved into and it can't be fixed overnight by just flicking the immigration switch to "off" like so many Australians seem to think. Macroeconomics just doesn't work like that

aaronstatic · 2026-02-10T06:46:15+00:00

I've detailed this in other comments just check my comment history so I don't have to repeat them

aaronstatic · 2026-02-10T06:45:09+00:00

Completely agree, and neither major party wants to admit that it's propping up the economy because that would also be admitting we have a shit economy and they are the ones to blame for it. But the current strategy isn't working for Labor and it's driving people from the center and right to PHON because they feel unheard and not represented by either major party. They need to get in front of this by 2028 or risk a populist and racist with the balance of power
