A place for Australians and friends to share news from the other countries. Like all communities here, we discuss topics from the Australian perspective.

If you're looking for a global /c/worldnews instead, search for the many options on federated instances.

Rules
  1. Follow the aussie.zone rules
  2. We are not a generic World News clone. News must be relevant to Australians and our region. Obvious disregard will earn an warning and then a ban if continued. (If an article isn't from an Oceanian news outlet, and it doesn’t mention Australia, then it’s probably off-topic)
  3. Leave seppocentrism at the door. If you don't know what that means, you're not ready to post here yet.
  4. Avoid editorialising headlines. Opinions go in the comments, not the post.

John F Kennedy was correct when he said “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.”

That’s why police robots are being aggressively normalized today. The empire managers want to make sure violent revolution is impossible, too.

There's no picture where I can see 1,000 billionaire oligarchs suppressing 10 billion people with a massive fleet of robots.

Possibly there's an option where said oligarchs suppress 3 billion angry people with the aid of 7 billion brainwashed people who think their status quo is the best way forward.

While this is indeed far more plausible, it wasn't her argument. She said that once they had their robot armies, they would no longer need to rely on millions of loyal (or brainwashed) people to prop them up.

The dispassionate robots would obey their orders and keep everyone in line.
