Are We A Defeated People? The No Goat Show

Are We A Defeated PeopleToday a new study states that the V actually does alter our DNA. We all suspected this, but if it is proven in peer review studies, surely that should spark public outrage, but let’s be honest, we know it won’t.In the past few weeks, the truth has been emerging like a course of bitter medicine and yet instead of seeing the faces of our brothers and sisters screwing up with disgust, they appear as calm as Hindu Cows.Our death rate is up, and instead of demanding answers, we’re quietly waiting in line at the self-service counters in Bunnings with things to decorate our castles with.Our Premiere is being hit by one career ending scandal after scandal as we sip from the same latte we sacrificed our freedoms for.  And our freedoms are gone. What we have now are privileges. We are like weary passengers on a runaway train, ignoring the suicides, and knowing full well that if the ‘please put your mask back on,’ sign turns green, most of us will do it without question, and begin dobbing in, all without prompting, those who won’t wear it.In our schools they are sexualising our children as we just look our people dancing on our phones, and around us, in the reflection of the up for lease stores, and lit by the red lit numbers announcing the ever-increasing cost of fuel, are the dejected faces of the loved ones; family and friends we cast out because one morning before Christmas, as we were decorating our trees, a TV personality told us to do so.Maybe we could reach out to these Australians, over a bridge of empathy, if only we could find the courage to step out of these social distancing circles, fading on our supermarkets’ floors.To date, we have built few bridges. Why?Are we still waiting for instructions?Or do we now know that we, the unquestionably obedient, are the morally superior Australians?Or are we a defeated people trying to figure out what it is that our new overlords want us to do, in order for us to be seen by them as upstanding citizens? In order to live a peaceful life?On a positive note, we are the first Australians to learn that the inscription above the war shrines, Lest We Forget, wasn’t a statement it was a question.If only we could see that the answer to that question, has become our National Expression.-- Locked Out is a un=funded, growing community, so if you would like to helps us with fuel and other ongoing costs, please donate here:https://cafelockedout.com/donate for one off donationsor https://www.patreon.com/cafelockedoutMichael This is a public episode.
