Now that the votes for the Voice have been counted and the result decided – a strong rejection of racial representation – for what it’s worth, these are my thoughts on the topic, and why I voted no to the Voice.
What did I vote No to? What was the Voice to me?
The reality facing Aboriginals
Now I have no animus towards Aboriginals. Yeah, we came in here and we took their land. I feel them. I am half Palestinian, I know how it feels to be dispossessed of my ancestral lands. We owe them. Big time.
But what do we owe them? We already sink billions of dollars a year into Aboriginal matters. Where is all that money going? By my calculations, the cost of providing every tribal Aboriginal in this country with a free house and land package, and free food, utilities and healthcare for life, would be a fraction of this amount. Who is getting this money, while Aboriginal children continue to be neglected and abused, and tribal communities rot in penurious poverty?
Parasites of the disadvantaged
There has arisen, in this country and others, a parasite class, a stratum of people who neither produce nor contribute, but who fabricate an oppressor-victim dialectic in order to prey upon the human altruism – the Good Samaritan trait – that underpins the very social contract we live by. It is in our nature to oppose bullies and champion the underdog. It is what is good and powerful about the human race.
But it is fatally vulnerable to exploitation by the greedy and unscrupulous, by the very bullies we would normally oppose. These activists who seek control over others, the better to secure their own wealth and power, have exploited our altruism to do so, using Aboriginals as pity pawns in their game of poor-me. In so doing, they have robbed tribal Aboriginals of the last vestige of their human dignity, and ruthlessly exploited them as puppets to milk our sympathy for their own gain.
These activists, and the ivory-tower academics and inner-city elites who pull their strings, represent a significant threat to the very foundations of our civilisation. Our society stands or falls on our willingess to help each other in need. If this trait is parasitised to destruction, our whole society falls apart. We grow cynical of people in genuine need, and unwilling to help them because we can no longer distinguish the real sufferers from the victimhood parasites.
Where the Aboriginal aid money is really going
This victim industry is not limited to Aboriginals or the Voice. It is spread across all sectors of society. Feminists make victims of women, gay-pride lobbyists make victims of homosexuals, race baiters make victims of Indians, Africans and Middle-Easterners. It is a cult of hate, rooted in a pity-sucking mentality of perpetual victimhood. This industry is known to most people under the moniker “woke”, or “wokeness”.
And this is where all the money is going. Academics have created a whole branch of victimhood “Studies” in our centres of learning, all of which are focused on parasitising the social contract for pity and power. Someone has to find work for all these basket-weaving graduates of Gender Studies, Queer Studies, Race Studies and all-round Victim Studies courses. All these graduates are now in sinecure positions within the bureaucracy, contributing nothing of value, but endlessly finding ways to exploit sympathy for Aboriginals, women, homosexuals and other groups they can use as pity pawns. That is where these billions of dollars are going.
The costs of social parasitism
We can see how destructive allowing this rampant social parasitism to persist can be, in the response to the MeToo and BelieveWomen movements. So many women have brazenly lied about being assaulted in seeking revenge against ex-lovers and parasitising their victimhood, that now nobody believes a real assault victim if she does come forward.
Women who genuinely need aid and comfort are now blocked from it by the parasitism of those falsely claiming to represent them. Furthermore, women in the workplace are now losing career opportunities because more men are avoiding them out of fear of losing their jobs from a false accusation. This is what this insidious parasitism leads to.
Answers and conclusion
So, in my view, the Voice would have been for Aboriginals what MeToo has been for women, and that is absolutely the last thing I would want for these people.
Before we can do anything to help Aboriginals, we need to:
- Strip out the activist parasites from our bureaucracy and put them to field work out in the communities they claim to want to help.
- End all affirmative-action programs based on race, sex or sexuality, and replace them with programs focused only on genuine disadvantage and need regardless of race, sex or psychosocial identity.
- Declare the act of parasitising public goodwill for political gain to be a threat to the foundation of society and therefore a crime against humanity; with all offenders prosecuted accordingly.
Once these things are done, and we can be sure that what we newcomers to Australia have to offer Aboriginals, in return for our use of their land, is getting to the ones who need it the most, then we can talk about truth-telling.
I did not vote No to Aboriginals. I voted No to the insidious social parasitism that is destroying our society from within, in its ruthless quest for power.
