The authoritarian model in action: import cheap, obsequious foreign labor to replace striking workers

It’s almost too insane to even believe what has happened to Australia. They let the genie out of the bottle entirely, and have no intention of ever stuffing him back down again. Technocratic fascism, enabled and now easily implemented with the Aussies’ new COVID passports. The vaccine doesn’t even matter; it’s getting the digital yoke around the necks of the citizens that is key. Once in place, the passport functions as a behavior corrective: do what we say or we push a few buttons and presto! You can’t go buy groceries, or leave your house, for two weeks. For the striking workers, fire them and replace them with obedient, imported slave labor.
