Do My Dirty Work Scapegoat
My last two blog entries may have seemed hysterical but I have been rescued by Australia's finest killers, the SAS, who yesterday went to fucking town on peaceful activists, cutting their clothes off with knives, assaulting them in various terrifying ways and verbaling them with menace. This happened as part of Operation Straya, where the dumbest among us are encouraged to go into full wild dog mode if anyone with a differing opinion pops up a quizzical head.
Activists walked onto the base at Swan Island where SAS killing machines are trained and instead of ceasing operations because, y'know, civilian protesters, these champs used the concerned citizens as target practice, running through their interrogation routines like it was rightwingcunt Christmas.
It went like this
These sociopaths- and they are, the shit they did yesterday makes me very comfortable passing judgement- will be heading over to fight ISIS and you can guarantee they will be cutting off heads first chance they get.
It's a little known fact that the story about Australian soldiers being some kind of egalitarian good blokes doing an honest day's work is fucking propaganda peddled to Aussies who need to believe we're special. Why do we need to believe we're special? This nation was built on genocide and that's a hard to debt to pay. We better be special or we'll feel bad inside. Look, this country is fucked in the head is what I'm saying.
In our bid to be world class we are quite possibly about to become the first English speaking police state. We are awesome at bullshitting ourselves and being bullshitted, we have a fucked up island mentality, we hate anyone who asks questions and that all came to a head yesterday when Aussie soldiers brutalised very peaceful protesters. They did this knowing there will be no comeback. My guess is they were given the green light. Maybe that didn't happen, maybe they're just going with the only two week old attitude that anyone not on Team Australia is a dog. So many fun possibilities.
Torture claims after island arrest
Last night I met up with a handful of other activists who like myself could just as easily have been the ones on that base and we all agreed that it was very awesome that we weren't. I'm still in shock about what happened. I'm wondering if media will report on what the protesters say happened or if they feel muzzled by the new laws in some way?
I keep coming back to this: if Australians really knew about the violence visited on our own Rosa Parks and Mahatma Gandhis they'd fucking lose it. But media always sells it as far softer than it really is so our freedom fighters continue to be brutalised in secret and they're doing it for you, the Australian public who know shit is fucked but also know how to look away.
But look at me laying on the guilt trips! Let's not lay blame, let's have a fucking candlelight vigil and take empowering selfies.
I am so bitter. What a tool.
Have a good weekend.
