Can never forget all those small businesses that were destroyed: only the gods know what happened to the people who ran them.

Yeah, you're right, Anthony: we are in fact very, very far from being the cheery rascals we're sometimes seen as.

I’ll never forget the eye-opening and gut-wrenching disappointment I experienced in March 2020 when I realised just how conformist the majority of Australians had become.

And not only conformist; they actually believed the Convid nonsense, even though the evidence for it being nonsense was right in front of their eyes. A virus that was so deadly no one was dying. A virus that could tell the time, measure in kilometres, know if you were browsing or shopping (the former was banned) and if you were standing in a restaurant (mask on) or sitting down to eat (mask off). And that’s only the half of it.

How on earth could people fall for this?

Mass psychosis. Years of trauma-based mind control using fear as the weapon of abuse. Dumbing down via TV. The deliberate erosion of common sense via the ever-expanding nanny state …

It’s so many things that all came together in the nightmare of the Convid years, perfectly orchestrated by the PTB into the chorus of compliance that is modern Australia.

Well, Convid gave me a couple of good things - a desire to live as far away from average Australians as possible and my Substack handle. Phew.
