Read a bit of the first page and OP. Uni's were a bit nutty in the 90's but now full fruitloop. It was called the long march through the institutions, and it's been won. The results are what we see today, it's institutionalised.

When it comes to the fertility bit, I have heard that each generation is finding it harder and have friends who have used IVF. We did the apparently stupid thing and had kids early (by early, I mean the average age the generation before had kids, from 21 for eg), no problems at all, no regrets either as it's worked out very well. Strongly recommend reading and fully understanding Weston A. Price's "Nutrition and Physical Degeneration", the greatest book of the 20th century, a full 2 years before trying for children - wish I had known about it then.

Recently they all went on interstate holidays. The husband pays for himself. The NDIS pays for our friend and her carer to travel and their accommodation. The carer has a separate room and is paid normal and penalty rates for every hour they are away from home. Yep, 24 hours a day they are paid for, even when they sleep. The NDIS pays for any outings for both our friend and the carer too.

They have collectively been on 2 weeks holidays, all paid for by the NDIS. They can't go anymore until September because the travel allowance is almost exhausted.

How this person gets NDIS support is beyond me, specially given the lacklustre condition and the fact they already have capable and paid inhome help from partners and family.

Want to see Australia for free, become an NDIS worker! "lol
This is disturbing to hear but it doesnt surprise me to see tax payers paying more for unnecessary expenses. It really is a disgrace.

James Lindsay has an excellent series on YouTube about this.

This is Australia mate. Work hard and get penalised at every turn. Sit on the dole and you’re celebrated.

Just look at childcare. If you choose not to look after your children they get free full-time childcare. Yet if I chose to put my hypothetical child in daycare I would have to pay over $30k per year. And can my hypothetical wife stay at home? Good luck, we don’t allow income splitting here.

It's good vs evil.

Weak men are the problem.

Look at the prevailing media narratives, they’re getting battier by the day and have been over the past decade or so. Designed to keep us weak, both the men and the women.

The stuff aimed at the women is just as bad, it used to glamourise divorce ten years ago, leave your boring husband to find yourself. Forget about ending up lonely and full of regret about the family you destroyed to chase a feeling. Now it glamourises literal s*x work - quit your boring reliable job and join OnlyFans, you’ll make hundreds of thousands. Never mind that most that go down that route don’t make any money, can’t hold down a romantic relationship for obvious reasons, and end up destroying relationships with friends and family. The end result is the same, break down the family and you’ll be more dependent on the state - therefore making you a more reliable left-wing voter.

The long march through the institutions…

I guess my soon to six grandkids carefree and innocent lives are not your concern I get it, but they are mine.
Not sure about Aussie but the trans and lgb....whatever aren't the kind and loving community they would like you to believe, at least over here they are not, they are violent and non tolerant of any view but there own, as I've said above there are exceptions.
There behavior at at a local to me rally has proved that, a rally supporting women's rights where the speaker was physically assaulted, and feared for her life, a 75 year old woman punched three times in the face by a 25 year old him her, plus another elderly gentleman punched. All this by a large in there hundreds rabid mob of trans and lgbt whatever. It's a mental illness that I don't need to be told it's perfectly normal, and i must except it at all cost, l nor my grandkids. As I have said knock your self out do whatever behind closed doors, just keep your indoctrination away from my family.
When all this is normalized it will be pedophiles next, they are all ready calling it MAP minor attracted person, you know they are people we just don't understand.

Some people ask the question, "when did you hit peak trans?" - ie when did you realise gender ideology was complete BS?

In my case, I always realised gender ideology was complete BS. That was clear to me and is still clear to 99% of people not living in Northcote or similar. However, I did reach "peak libertarian" because of it all. Libertarianism of the "live and let live" variety means nothing when they come for your children. They call it "cracking the egg". They get off on it. It's sick.
