The thing about being abused is that you can never hurt the abusers in the same way that they hurt you. With what we went through, there is a divide and there will always be a divide. I do not think that we will get justice. All we can do is endure. But I know that all the people who laid down their fluoro on the steps of Parliament with me Dec 1, 2021 are still out there. I am still out here.

Recently I told someone that early in 2020 I was the only person protesting in front of Parliament with a sign. When they locked down I said 'fuck this' and just showed up on my own with the covid CFRs. Two years later there were 80,000 of us in the Perth cbd.

They know we are still out here and it is going to be much harder to pull this on us again. We are mean as hell after what we went through. I'm on a hair trigger and will not tolerate any bullshit.

Thanks for the honest comment bro. That hair trigger feeling arises when apathy can't be given in to and I know that being back in my professional stomping ground is gonna give rise to instances of one man , one loudspeaker to an audience that previously specialized in risk and insurance.

I think I've seen you at some of these events before. I remember one angry man with a loudspeaker around Oct 2021 in front of Kings Park den of iniquity, same day McGowan's Mandates were proclaimed to the Perth public.

I feel you.

This won't make you feel better, but if you are interested, have a look at my stack. I'm in Perth as well and I just published Australia's Novavax contracts.

I didn't lose my job but I'm experiencing heightened response to threat and an underlying sense of unease about living in a city and being reliant on a majority of inherently untrustworthy (easily duped) people

You have a sense of intuitive spirituality to pick up that vibe.

After experiencing the same yesterday I coined "psychic allergy" as a way to try describing it.
