Australia has had mineral wealth for a very long time, that’s nothing new.

Hang on, wait wait wait, so I can’t trust the word of the Times of Israel to be fully factual, unbiased, and without agenda?
I’m shocked, shocked I tell you!
The BBC are talking 'bout the GDP
That means fuck all to me!
Lemmy?
Do you think we all hold the same opinion or something? You’re here too, you’re as much under that umbrella of vitriol that you’ve just spat as the rest of us.
Can we skip to the part where Trump, Putin, Netanyahu, Farage, Wilders, Musk, Le Pen, the ICE agent that lives down the street, Bezos, Musk, Zuckerberg, etc etc etc get what they deserve please?
It doesn’t seem to have happened yet.
Amnesty International, Liberty, and the UN disagree with you.

A country actively kidnapping people off the streets, removing due process and habeus corpus, deporting prisoners to random countries, building concentration camps, and deploying troops on the streets has a score of 84/100. Forgive me for not feeling particularly free with my score of 91.

Having a read of this I think it’s fair to say boiling down a nation’s “freedom” to a single number is a silly unacademic metric, before even getting into the likelihood of bias and manipulation.
If it looks like a
duckfascist, swims like aduckfascist, and quacks like aduckfascist, then it probably is aduckfascist. Regardless of what a likely bias think tank’s research may say.

Thanks for the second source. The Telegraph is a right wing rag.
Hey now! The Americans have done far more than that, they’ve peacefully wandered around the neighbourhood and played some acoustic guitar. If that doesn’t attract the attention of politicians, what will?

What are you talking about? I’ve been keenly following UK politics for about 15 years now and can’t think of any examples off the top of my head.
John Prescott got a reputation but that’s because someone threw an egg at him in the street so he punched the guy. Other than that I can’t think of any famous examples of politicians fighting.
The term you’re looking for is an egalitarian.
And this is why ACAB regardless of whether they’re a “good one” or not.
As long as police forces ignore the right of expression and protest, in favour of the whims of the government of the day, they are bastards.
Oh winter is coming.
It’s just going to take a while, but it will come.
And it will either be a nuclear winter or an ice age. Yay!
To save those, like me, that don’t know what Zapruder is, a search:

It’s a recording of JFK getting shot
Sweet, ta! I listened to The History of Rome a few years ago so I’ll check this one out.
Aye, true progress was being made and that couldn’t be allowed to happen. Germany’s Blitzkrieg tactics were practised on Spain before they began their expansion.
I tried but I have an unfortunate case of bees in my brain so I didn’t finish it. Need to give it another go. The portion that I read was interesting though!
Who’s the revolutions podcast by?

That’s fair, but that’s due to politics.
Wealth and quality of life are hugely dependent upon the politics of a place.
Which form of politics is correct is a debate that has existed since forever, but there’s no getting away from the fact that politics determines wealth, quality of life, and ultimately whether people wish to immigrate, emigrate, or stay put.
Well, that and the weather 😝
