I know it's likely not a belief in this group but… To those that believe this lie, I ask how?

My father and 3 of my siblings when to college/uni, 1 works in a related field.

If you went into the situation with the wrong idea about what college is for, then yes, I can see how you'd think it was a scam.

"Oh you thought this was about improving your life? No it's about securing your membership in the elite you peasant"

Or if you're someone who didn't attend and are one if the few who are "doing fine" and only have the lies of grifters, then yes, I can see how you'd think it's a scam.

Keep yourself safe cute twink. People like you give education, not even higher education but the very concept of it a bad name.

But college or higher education is not about getting a job, its about acquiring skills, learning how to learn, and how to process it all when you no longer have a teacher.

!r-slurs come get your boy!

What possible point is there to acquiring skills if it doesn't improve my life? What is college a fricking hobby (tbh it is at this point and that's why it's a scam)?

And "learning how to learn"? Oh shut the frick up I've heard that same sorry excuse for why schooling is a waste of time since I was little boy. I learned how to learn in grade school, then again in high school, there's no point in taking a 3rd swing at it.

If you went and only focused on grades in order to get a degree in order to get a job, then you screwed up!

!nooticers these people treat higher ed like a ritual, a passage into adulthood.

You the individual focused on the wrong thing and now want to play the blame game. Its like playing basketball but only focusing on dribbling, of course you won't get the outcome you want your focus was on the wrong thing.

The out come I want is access to jobs I've already done, been trained to do by professionals but have been locked away from me by some insurance adjuster or bitter HR ladygarden.

To those that did not attend but are doing well, congratulations!! You are a prime example of survivor bias. Good for you in pulling 6- figues but the vast majority of people don't or would even get close without some level of higher education.

God they hate the poor. The only people in my family who make 100,000 a year or more are oil field workers. Literally it. And none of them have what an American would consider a college or uni education.

And in what world is 100k "doing alright"? It's fricking rich! I was raised on less than 2k a month in household income.

Frick off, were full, but leave enough behind to run the 7/11s, sushi stalls and korean bbq restaurants.

… and never any serious discussion about the long term demographic, economic or environmental scenarios and implications.

My favourite bit is when new arrivals bring their conflicts over with them.

Like Brits bringing over their racism, killing indigenous people by the thousands, setting up apartheid systems and stealing their babies?

Oh and the slave labour as well. Our train network wasn't built by freemen.

I wonder if anyone ever asked them for permission before doing all of that

It's okay because they're white /s

The issue isn't the population. It's the fact that we don't build good infrastructure. We should have a good high speed rail line along the east coast at least. Instead, we subsidise Qantas, and the Melbourne-Sydney is the busiest air route in the world. Also, super expensive.

We're in a population Ponzi scheme, and only digging down further

You know something's up when even left leaning people are agreeing with the "Frick off, we're full!" people of ~10+ years ago

The ground has shifted but the political class haven't realised it yet. Labor, LNP, Greens - they're all for it. The last 4 years or so has radicalised me so much I'd vote for any party who will take a stance on this

It's surprising to see the tonal shift in /r/australia. It's not a dramatic thread, sadly.

/r/Australian Politics - Australia's population lifts to 272 million

Soft migration compared to what? Its obvious that so many of Australias problems are from rampant immigration

So, not from a decade of wage suppression?

Corporate malfeance?

Public service deterioration?

High level corruption?

Nah, it's all dem migratiants!!

Stand by and cheer on as Australia is destroyed if you must. I escaped Australia. Im sorry for the people who still have to live there. Goodluck buddy. Your going to need it as it will only get worse from here on.

You immigated because you dont like immigration. Curious.

Hard for you to understand but some people are retired.

What do you think the word immigrate means?

You escaped to Vietnam. I'll stick with Australia, any day of the week.

Can't it be from all the above?

No? People are linking things that are not related. What about getting mad at local councils for previously being so darn restrictive with their zoning for example? We're in this mess because of them after all.

Now you're just showing your bias. I agree with all your points but you're quite naive if you don't think importing 400k people isn't having any effect on house prices and rent for example.

No it is now for sure but what I'm sick of is people not blaming the root causes. Just so much easier to go after immigrants.

Having worked in different levels of government it's a lot easier to reduce migration levels than to redo zoning and build more housing. I'm sure I don't hold the same sentiment.

snip

Wage suppression is related to population growth. Women caused wage suppression when they joined the work force en mass in the last century. Now that working women are normal and we're below replacement rate, immigrants are literally the only reason our working population goes up.

Wage suppression is today caused by immigration. So yes, immigration is still the problem.

No. Wage suppression is structured in to maxmise profits. Profits suppress wages, except management, their wages keep going up and up and up.

What you just said means literal nothing. snip

And yet the upmarseys roll in soy boy

I stand corrected. It's the migratiants AND the womens! 🤦‍♀️

1.4 million migrants is 'soft' now? Good luck getting a house.

And yet house prices are currently falling and when we blocked migration house prices ballooned.

Great, the cheapest one is only $650k

I didn't say it was cheap. People just love to hate on immigrants when the far bigger issue is investors.

No, it is immigrants.

And this is why we're fricked.

Our betters have decided this is happening, what we want doesn't matter.

Don't they realize it'll bite them on the arse eventually too

/r/australian - ABS reports 446,000 new overseas migrants in 2023-24 financial year

Australia has no official language. At any moment we could fracture our english speaking nation and descend into prime multi-racial territory. But hey every one is equal and the same when you bring them in.

Do you think if we had a official language that couldn't happen? Having a official language doesn't mean people are forced to speak it's just what the law is wrote in

We might not have homes to live in, but we get a great tikka masala.

Shut up pinkoid 🐷

Absurd numbers. We seriously need to hit the pause button for a while on this.

We need to hit the reverse button

That's a big part of the reason why Trump won the US election, when he pledged to deport illegal immigrants. We can do our part to deport temporary visitors who wouldn't leave and are resorting to claiming asylum as a last resort to drag out their stay as long as possible.

Hit the rewind button. Several times

Bring it butthole. What's he going to do overthrow the government? Sounds like an insurrection to me.

I hate him so much.

He is responsible for this division. I've never seen the country this divided in my life.

"this country has never been this divided in human history"

"It's (D)emocracy when we do it. It's Fascist when you do it." Obama and the Democrats.

Former President Barack Obama declared that if "one side" attempts to cement "a permanent grip on power" through "suppressing votes," "politicizing" the military or weaponizing the judiciary and criminal justice system to target opponents, "a line has been crossed."

Wow! He just described the last four plus years of the Democrats under his influence.

Jesus it really is projection at this point. They're worse than my ex...

Heh.....you're too late, Barry. Tooooooooo fricking late.....we just wanted to be left alone.....and now...NOW.....THERE'S NO TURNING BACK!!!!!

Sorry to disagree. The Dear Leader's regime was simply Comrade Obama's third term working, as Comrade Pelosi said, as quickly as possible to finish implementing his agenda to fundamentally change America and ensure that the Democrat Socialist Party would remain in power for the foreseeable future.

People calling Obama communist? Brings me back to the good ol' days....I miss 2011....

It's been 2 years since Russian retreat from Kherson. There are a lot of "technically" stuff like it wasn't a battle, Wikipedia don't call that event a battle, Russian retreated from Kherson earlier and etc. But if we go very technically we will end up with Ukraine winning 0 battles.

So it's been 2 years since last time Ukraine liberated a something bigger than a village

What makes this even more special that it was before Ukraine got all the game changers nato stuff.

Like first leopard enter Ukraine in March 2023.

Let's remember some hype

The first shipment of Leopard 2 tanks from Germany has been sent to Ukraine, the German defence ministry says. Eighteen cutting-edge main battle tanks were delivered after Ukrainian crews were trained to use them.

Since the Ukraine received around 300 leopards 2 tanks and around 500 leopards 1 tanks that Ukraine for some reasons doesn't use much.

Abrams didn't had any fancy stories. Only interesting story is that when Russia captured like 10 of those and there was visually confirmation of more than 20 of those destroyed it was announced that Australia is about to give Ukraine 49 more.

https://www.minister.defence.gov.au/media-releases/2024-10-17/australia-provide-abrams-tanks-ukraine

So it's clearly gov don't tell the real number to public.

Like for example people still believe Ukraine has only 108 Bradley. But early this year it was already assumed Ukraine got way more than 300 of those

Kyiv also has 31 Abrams tanks — a fraction of the more than 300 Bradleys it has received as of early July, according to Pentagon data.

Popular believe is also Ukraine getting old junk.

This is false since stuff Russian captured showed all the tech got deep modernisation and very recent one like Bradley's Russian captured in 2023 had 2023 date of modernisation.

For stuff like artillery and AD, Ukraine gets those straight from factories.

Many countries in east Europe like Poland gave majority of its stuff to Ukraine.

Last time Ukraine captured a village was during legendary spring counteroffensive, they liberated back then exactly 1 village and couple of hamlets. They lost it all since then. Lazy to check exactly dates but it's been over a year since they captured and lost.

This is how map looked when I left in August

This is how it look after my return

Added deep state map since its official government and military sponsored and it shows things even worse for Ukraine

So what we see Ukraine is losing ground at increasing speed and speed faster than Ukraine been losing ground in April 2022 or March 2022. A sign that attrition starts playing a role.

Western media now doesn't hide that Ukrainian don't want to fight and that Ukraine has hard time finding men

https://www.newsweek.com/ukraine-draft-female-conscription-valerii-zaluzhnyi-zelensky-1970608

Redditors been telling Ukraine should mobilise women for month tho

So since my absence Ukraine lost multiple towns and cities as you can on the map (they also lost stuff in other directions) and now about to lose Kurakhove an strategic city because there are barely anyone defending it and since Russian are already near Pokrovsk.

@Cobra_Cranberrymander <- this homosexual been telling me Russian won't reach Pokrovsk until 2028 because he calculated Russian movement with his epic math. I told him he is homosexual.

Russian would be able to relatively easy capture Pokrovsk and mirnohrad (combine their population is 160k) since there won't be any danger to get hit from flanks for Russian and after they capture pokrovsk there is nothing on Russia way until Dniper river since Ukrainian didn't build any defensive lines. Why because they are at media war where them building in dnipor region defensive lines will be seen as losing.

The offensive in the Kurakhove direction is being carried out from three sides by three groups of troops: "Center", "South" and "East".

They of course love to lie since why would Russian blown up something that they without doubts will capture, they could had destroyed it long time ago but according to Ukrainian statements it happened in last days of that city being under Ukraine

So the main question becomes what's Ukrainian goal in Kursk oblast. As you see in the maps, that place has no named settlements beyond Sudzha.

We heard their goal was to capture NPP, didn't happened.

To trade some soldiers, happened but Russia ended up capturing more Ukrainian soldiers in that Ukraine did and exchanging all their conscripts and now have an no prisoners rule in Kursk. Reason for it that Ukraine wants to trade only their elite soldiers and far rights.

Then other goal was to pull Russian soldiers from Pokrovsk, also didn't happened and it's seems they pulled soldiers from North Korea.

Then to humiliate Putin, that's a childish argument especially when Putin act like the good guy. Ukraine send all their elite stuff to Kursk to capture some 5k people town and ended up losing all its mines in Pokrovsk and from country that export coke/coal to a country that will import it. On top of it giving Putin an example that Ukrainian ain't good guys since they been telling about defensive war and then invade.

Western media in September already told Kursk invasion was a mistake and Ukraine should pull out side they are at hard disadvantage and wasting their best soldiers against Russian cops and soon against NK.

So why they still in Kursk ? Just to save face. Or mb hoping to hold it until Trump will be official president and get some trading chip. But it won't work out especially when Republicans showing sign they want election in Ukraine. Putin also pointed he won't deal with an unelected person.

Zelenskyy is mad at Trump because Zelenskyy won't survive without a war. The peace deal will be for Ukraine worse than one from 2022 and people in Ukraine already questioning why he didn't signed it.

But Trump is saving Ukraine because Ukraine now has no power to stop the grinding and no weapons will do it. Zelenskyy still has one fantasy though, getting nuked since it mb can bring burgers boots to Ukraine.

But last time I ended my long post with

About them doing something stupid.

So here my favourite story since my absence

Guy named: Captain Oleksiy Mes, call sign 'Moonfish'. He was one of top Ukrainian pilots that did some excellent performance during first days of this circus he basically became the proto ghost of Kiev

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oleksii_Mes

He became the poster boy for demanding f16 and like long Ukrainian tradition, after coming from Burgerstan he died on his first mission. Ukraine gov refused to comment saying oh he crushed but we will find the real reason and got rid of that case. But many saying it was friendly fire.

And that's why I believe in Khohols. Who destroyed first Leopard, first Bradley, first Abrams, first challenger ? So of course they destroyed the first f16 so Russian couldn't flex

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrii_Pilshchykov

Ukraine basically lost all their best pilots from friendly fire and crushing

The situation is also extra stupid because Ukraine got Israeli modified mig29 that can use all f16 arsenal and more, those jets are better than the f16 they got so they waste their best pilots training for inferior jet just for propaganda reasons

It's just a bit sadly that pro Ukrainian ignoring this big day, since it stopped being a celebration day and more of reminder that they had 0 success since then with all their high hopes
