They Hate You

 




They hate you and they hate your way of life. And they are not quiet about, though they will try to dress up their hate for how the ordinary person lives with language about how they care for the environment. They are not quiet about telling you the amount of problems your way of life causes. For one, you are apparently taking up too much room,

“Architect Jeremy McLeod's latest work is a house designed to make you squirm.

"Were you aware that we built the biggest houses in the world in the middle of a housing crisis?" he asks as he guides me through Home Truth, his team's mammoth installation at the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV).

Home Truth, winner of the NGV's 2024 Architecture Commission Design Competition, takes the form of a house mid-build and it stands at a whopping 236 square metres.

"It's the average size of a new Australian home," McLeod says. That puts house sizes in this country ahead of the US, UK, Canada and France.

"Congratulations, Australia. We're the gold medallist."

As with so much of his work — his architecture firm Breathe advocates for sustainability, and McLeod helped establish Nightingale Housing, a non-profit housing provider — there's a message built into his NGV installation that's as compelling as it is beautiful to look at…

…"We exist in a housing crisis and a climate crisis, in a cost-of-living crisis. And do we think the answer to any of those three things is in building the biggest houses in the world?”[1]

The idea that our housing crisis has anything to do with the size of our homes, when we are actually living in the midst of record immigration, is so dishonest only the ABC could actually put such pen to paper (or type this on a screen). We are living in a housing crisis because the current government is bringing in far too many people, and the previous government put over $300 billion on the economy causing a massive inflation spike, and all previous governments for the last 30 or so years have been using immigration to slowly inflate the economy artificially and now that strategy is biting back hard. Before the current wave of immigration and economic stimulus homes were too expensive, now they are way too expensive and hard to get access to.

Immigration has made housing so unattainable for some that over 10,000 Australians are becoming homeless each month,

“Ten thousand extra Australians are becoming homeless each month – a 22% increase in the past three years – according to a new report from UNSW and Homelessness Australia.

It comes as those on the frontline say they are seeing an uptick in people with employment coming in for housing help, including part-time teachers and nurses.

Homelessness services across the country help 95,000 people each month, with the number of new clients who were already homeless before seeking support increasing 9% over the three years to 2023-24, and now exceeding 10,000 a month.”[2]

I have seen this homeless problem firsthand. I don’t just write about this, I also try to do what I can to help the homeless. But the problem is getting worse. There is just too much of it for volunteers to keep up. 

Neither of these articles even mentions that homelessness is being driven by record immigration. They both actually appear to work really hard to avoid mentioning that and both instead call for more government action, for instance, “Governments need to take immediate action and deliver an emergency homelessness investment so that when people reach out for homelessness support there is someone there to help them.”[3] The first action the government should make is stopping immigration, the second is repatriation of all the people who have come in, and the third is to stop subsidizing people who own multiple homes. The government owes no services to foreigners, but only to Australians, who have had their way of life stolen from them by consistent government policy.

You can see that those in power hate our way of life if you just read around a little wider. They want us to live in smaller homes, in crowded cities, with less reliable and enjoyable cars to get around in. I noticed this article the other day condemning Australians for driving Australian cars,

“ We all love an Aussie-made Holden Commodore or Ford Falcon, but a new report has revealed they're responsible for something that has policymakers worried…

…Now that Australia is no longer manufacturing new cars – with Holden the last to shut down its local production lines in 2017 – owners are reluctant to part with their beloved Falcons and Commodores, with cost-of-living pressures making them even less likely to opt for a replacement.

However, according to a new report from the National Transport Commission (NTC), older models like the Holden Commodore are part of the reason Australia’s carbon dioxide emissions intensity is significantly higher than that of Europe and the United States…

…"Seven years after local manufacturing ended, the Holden Commodore and Ford Falcon remain popular, and still in the top 10 of vehicle models on our roads,” the report states…

…But can that love affair last forever if Australia is lagging behind in cutting emissions? Some think not and say it underlines the importance of the upcoming New Vehicle Efficiency Standard (NVES) legislation…

…“There is still more work to be done to boost EV adoption in Australia – the NVES will help but continued support from governments and industry is essential including through purchase incentives, increased infrastructure and regulatory changes.[4]

Do we all love Aussie cars? I know I do, but I doubt this journalist does. There are plenty of advocates like this journalist who want the government to pass laws to get us out of cars we like. I actually own an Aussie car, and it is right inside the bracket of cars that people like this hate. Because it is big, not the best on fuel, but it is also cheap, reliable, easy to fix, comfortable and very nice to drive. Big rear wheel drive cars are popular for a reason. Ford’s and Holdens made in Australia were so popular even long after these companies stopped making these cars they are still in the top 10 of the most popular cars on the road. A sedan is nicer to drive than a 4wd or dual cab ute any day of the week, and much more practical in most situations as well. Their continued popularity tells you that their disappearance from our manufacturing base had nothing to do with demand. These companies went out of business for completely different reasons, which I have addressed here.

Essentially, we are being told in many different ways that we need to live in smaller homes, with more people, and we need to give up the cars we like in “honour of the environment”, we are also told that we eat too much (that one is actually true, people are too obese), and that we use too much energy. We are constantly being told we are the problem and we need to change our way of life to help the environment. Which we all know is nonsense because the environmentalist movement has always been more antihuman than pro-environment.

The truth is that there are very powerful and influential people who hate the fact that Australians live so well, and have so much room to spare. And they want to take this away from us. And they are doing something about it. A recent state government got elected and one of their promises was that they were going to allow first home buyers, who bought their home in part with a government grant, to rent out a room in their new home, and not face the restrictions a previous government had placed on doing this. But this does not solve our housing crisis, it simply means that governments would prefer that you cannot live in peace in your own home, and rather than enact policies to protect our way of life, they are ok with you increasing the living density of people in your house. This is not a solution, this is movement towards WEF goals. The deliberate mass immigration is also being done to make our way of life harder. The government controls the levers of immigration, they are not being forced to do this by trends, it's a deliberate decision. 

Why would they do this? I think it is because the people our leaders really serve hate you and your way of life. All the evidence is there. Every single policy being enacted in recent years makes our way of life harder, more expensive and less attainable for many. This is not by accident. It's too consistent.
