The sovereign citizen movement isn't just a collection of legal fantasists declaring themselves "living men" immune to law. It's what happens when economic inequality reaches French Revolution levels, when algorithms chase the poor for fake debts while CEOs feast on bonuses. When your society makes people feel so powerless that magic words seem rational, who's really living in a fantasy?
Australia's PM once co-founded the Parliamentary Friends of Palestine. Two years and countless dead children later, he's finally found the political courage to recognize Gaza - not because it's right, but because the polls say it's safe. Shame on our fair-weather friends.
Netflix blames 'tech bro culture' for the Titan disaster, but the real story is darker: from Rush to Boeing to Big Oil, extreme wealth creates a ruling class so divorced from reality they'll kill us all for quarterly profits and stonks. This is capitalism working exactly as designed.
Angus Taylor's rejection of gender quotas perfectly encapsulates the Liberal Party's fatal flaw: a party of privileged men clinging to power through the fiction of 'merit' while their electoral relevance evaporates.
