My View of Australia after 72 years. It's appalling.

 My View:

From my 72 years here, I think many Australians always wished to be British, or Irish, and now they simply wish to be Americans.
I think this is just how we are, here, en masse.
Footloose on the edge of Asia, yet never really belonging to or in Asia.
Never belonging because we never wanted to belong to Asia, that's for sure. Also, because Asia never wanted us here, and that's for sure. They don't like us. We do not do fair trade. We seek to be bullies in the Pacific and Asia at the beck and call of our American owners.
Still, we are here and need to make some sense of the time.
We need to make friends in Asia by doing good trade and having generally meaningful relationships with many countries that America doesn't want us to, at all. Geopolitically, they need us in their pocket, very unaligned with anyone else.
What's wrong with Australia having an Alliance with China, India, Indonesia? That's an empowering group.
Would there be anything wrong with Australia kicking out all the American spies and high tech facilities in Pine Gap that do spy on Asia and include spying on us, our phones, our emails etc? Nothing at all. It is our country.
But what would happen?
The Americans would destroy us. We know that. Or so it seems.
Can we ever get back the land in Darwin we offered as a US Military Base? No, we cannot ever get that land back. That is not ours anymore. We cannot even make a decision on that.
I think that Australia could do well, and much better than at present, by steering a more independent course, making up our minds about things and actioning decisions rather than waiting for the USA to tell us who to be and what to think.
It is not a Call for Socialism, it is a Call for Australia to do something for itself and the short and long term real benefit of its own people rather than being an adaptive slave for its 'owners'.
That's my view.

I can't believe that Australia has invited the President of Israel to visit us. Now. Now...Whilst he is President of a State imposing Genocide on a poor, raped, vilified, 'human animal' abused and half destroyed people, because he wants their land. How does that make sense? How can that make sense? Okay, when he arrives, arrest him for war crimes. That makes sense, but anything else doesn't make any sense at all. It's not just anti-Australian, it's anti-human. Why would anyone do that? Why are we doing this? I'm not a strong person, per se, in anyway at all, but this decision to invite that cxnt here as some favoured guest representing Genocide makes me actually stronger as an individual than this country actually is, as a whole country, and so this ,this is a really really strange time.

Sayanara to the Americanese.

 Sayonara to the Americanese.

Well, we are in 'A Period of Transition' now between the two 'major powers'. The USA has done its dash, already, dead broke and toxic, and are, indeed, fading a bit, as is obvious by the increasing rhetoric of how essential they are to everyone and everything forever, when they just aren't. Too much spending, too much debt, too much waste.
At the same time, China is rising and doing very well, thank you very much, and saying very little. And, for China, this is just the beginning of the rise. Give it a hundred or two hundred years to peak before China is fully risen. That's how it goes.
The odd thing about the American Empire is how short it lasted compared with the other empires of the past. About a hundred years. That's Chicken Skin Music in Time. Chicken Skin Music is fun and innovative, for sure, but it doesn't last very long. 100 years, even 200 years at a long dangling twitchy stretch. In real comparison, the USA, that's one shit empire in comparison with any other in our world's long history.
Europe is doing okay, really. The Middle East isn't important. Anymore. South America is a bit ill prepared, and we wont really know Giant Fully Industrialised and Monetised Africa for some time yet...until well after China...but it will arise, in a few hundred years, and,likely, United.
As for Global Warming, well, obviously, it's going to be a very very hot fucking world. Duh.

Sanders and Corbyn/ such a lost opportunity that it beggars belief.

 In terms of two 'medium-ly sort of' moderately developed world 'kind-of' democracies, there were great opportunities for both the UK and the USA in recent times/years.

The USA could have made Bernie Sanders President, and the UK could have made Jeremy Corbyn Prime Minister, but they just... didn't. Bernie was wiped out by the rampant capitalists, and Jeremy by the Jewish lobby.
We know that. And, at best or worse, neither was really a serious Socialists...both were in fact social reformers calling themselves Socialists. Proper, decent folk with great ideas and a love for their countries. They had proposed changes that would be good...that would actually work.
'The People' chose instead what they and the world now have, and that's really, really stupid and awful.
It still makes me sick.
The trouble with actively choosing stupidity is that it always puts you back more years than you think. It's not 4 years, you go back 10 or 20 years. with every election.
Every fucking time.
It's so fucking obvious.
Every fucking time.
Doesn't everyone know that?
By now?
Look!
Surely?
What is so wrong with Human Progress that it makes people so bizarre and sick and dopey all the time when there were real and active choices right there?
That's all gone now.
'Hey, we choose to go backwards! We are not choosing to make things better, we are choosing to fuck everything up!'
Idiots.
Prize idiots.
World Democracies, hey, make better choices, please!
Or is the time up?
I hope not.
Why would one ever want to go and see the UK or the USA?
They are Fucking idiots.
The morons have taken over the liquor store.

Astounding Film

 I think the film that had the greatest meaning for me was called "Coming Home" a movie from China, with subtitle sin English, set in the red days of the Cultural Revolution.

The story of a family of wife husband and daughter, and all that happened to them, and how they survived as a family.

Astounding film.

Electric Vehicles in Australia, Melbourne, Victoria.

 The concern I have with owning an electric vehicle is that at the next Victorian election, the liberals will win and dump a lot of expensive charges on electric car owners, as their policy is to support oil companies. They will also substantially increase electricity charges because that’s just the kind of knuckle dragging reactionary bastards they are.

No matter what we would like, to happen, I think Israel will just run wilfully killing whoever it wants, as many terrified children as they want, drenched in greed and hatred, and will greatly profit from this continuing genocidal horror, and will never be brought to any kind of justice at all. Life is essentially like that...& Israel is absolutely like that.
