Yes, so true. I actually believed in democracy up until the pandemic. I'm Australian, and now it is pretty clear that we are a vassal state. I would trust a gypsy drug dealer over our politicians and media. That is not hyperbole either. At least I know that the gypsy is acting in self interest and preservation. Whereas the pollies and MSN are anyone's dog for a bone. Even if it destroys their country, history, culture, race... I could go on. I'm not giving up. I still have my goals in life regardless. Just makes me more cold hearted.
