As a fellow aussie I'm proud of Assange. I am kind of surprised other Australians feel the same because we're kind of a nation of bootlickers. I'm curious what happens now though. If he returns to Australia. Is he actually going to have real freedom and privacy? Or is this going to be kind of superficial where everything he does is monitored by like 5 different agencies and he can't even use the Internet. Like, I've got to see the result to believe it...
- globalnode 2y agowe arent bootlickers, thats just our politicians and business leaders.
- Uptrenda 2y agoYou're probably right given ned kelly and all
- jampekka 2y agoHow do the politicians get elected then? You're not (on average) bootlickers but do prefer to be ruled by bootlickers?
- globalnode 2y agopeople on average are naive about politics, even when they declare they dont trust politicians. they fall for the same tricks every time: fear and greed mostly. they then go and vote based on what they think will maximise their returns and the people they vote for turn around and start bootlicking while ignoring domestic concerns until the next election cycle. so no, we arent bootlickers, stupid yes, bootlickers no.
