Just another piece of evidence that we live in capitalist dictatorships masquerading as "democracy".
Add it to the pile.
Well it was pretty obvious when America failed to succeed in Vietnam, then Iraq and Afghanistan. Spending dozens of trillions building up and perpetuating the most powerful military, and nuclear arsenal, couldn't defeat peasants.
If the goal was actually to fight for freedom, they could have funded education and it would've cost 1/10th the trillions they spent murdering people... But they'd never do that, because they refuse to even educate their own citizens; they've been choosing corporate profits over citizen wellbeing since inception, and calling it "freedom".
The LNP are filled with the exact same sociopaths as the GOP in the states; people who will sell their souls, and country, to billionaires and dictators for profit. Their ideology ends in a corporate fascist dictatorship, but literally only the oligarchy and brown shirts want that, so they have to bundle their destruction of democracy and return to feudalism into a slew of mentally-ill buzz words like "stop the boats" and "cutting red tape" — relying on the Murdoch propaganda machine to convince the ignorant masses.
And Labor, like the Democrats in the states, are also majority corporate whores; minus the fascism and racism. They're better, but still more of a controlled opposition than a party actively trying to improve our future.
Make no mistake, the LNP will sell out the entire country to get a chance at a cut in the American Reich.
The call was always coming from inside the house.
