    Nothing like pay walled content to get one riled up over a nothing headline.

    Maybe “some liberal MP’s” should come out and say it with their names attached. Maybe they did, but again, pay wall.

      Knowing how your life is being governed is a luxury.

          Fair, ha ha, for this publication. But subscription news as a concept is just dystopic.

        So, if the Internet didn’t exist, and you wanted to know about what was happening in the world without paying money, you’d go to the library and you’d spend a few hours reading dozens of recent periodicals for free.

        You can still do this.

        It’s interesting how empowering people and giving them easy access to information also makes them lose capacities that they’ve always had.

        Or, I don’t know… Maybe post an article that isn’t pay walled? Maybe something that isn’t from a garbage publication?

        “Easy-peasy”

          Sorry, I no longer realise what is and isn’t paywalled because I have the extension that bypasses the paywall so I don’t know it’s even there.

            It is amazing how an extension removes the knowledge from your head that “The Star” is a for profit News Publication.

            Be a dear and post the archive instead of acting like you are special for using an extension that is likely harvesting your data.

              Maybe I don’t give a fuck if it’s a for-profit news publisher? History shows that entirely government funded news sources turn out much worse.

                You give enough fucks to try and justify it to a random stranger on the internet calling you out for it. History shows that people who do things like that give more fucks than they are letting on.

                One who gives no fucks leaves no comments. ;)
