Confidence that America told allies that they could brick military equipment if they don’t comply: near 100%
Losers. Morons. Bullies.
Threaten to kick them out of Pine Gap
Man, it’s insane that you let a hostile, overtly evil foreign power openly operate a spy network in your nation.
australia doesn’t really have a lot of choices: we have a population the size of texas in an area almost the size of the whole US… there’s just no hope of protecting that without help
our only bargaining chips are: space, location, and the huge amount of natural resources
America would probably launch a land invasion of Australia before they ever let Pine Gap go. Previous attempts were met with harsh penalties from the US.
Tell them to fuck off, the funding we will source elsewhere. Will be painful but I would prefer short term pain then Australia being bullied into unwanted ideologies.
A problem with scientism is that it worships “scientists” regardless of their actual output. There is nothing inherently good about having a job as a “scientist” especially under capitalism. Many of these people are at best mindless drones serving hegemony, and at worst overt fascists.
Just say you celebrate illiteracy
From your linked article:
"While the term was defined originally to mean “methods and attitudes typical of or attributed to natural scientists”, some scholars, as well as political and religious leaders, have also adopted it as a pejorative term with the meaning “an exaggerated trust in the efficacy of the methods of natural science applied to all areas of investigation”
That "worshipping " wording is, by your own sources, a political act.
Pulling a definition out of your arse and then judging a whole group of people based on your made up beliefs… You’re not an anarchist, you’re a trumpist in decline, pitching people against each others instead of standing up for others.
Look at their username. Couple that with their commentary and it’s one to steer clear of.
Man, i was gonna watch the V miniseries again tonight but this comment is making it too on the nose.
