And the thing is, 25% tax on Revenue isnt even that huge considering the profits they make.

In b4 lnp/labor/On decide to make phrases like "Tax the rich" illegal because its hate or something xd

Another great example of how superheroes/knights were only there to defend a broken status quo while pretending all societal problem came from single villainous individuals rather than a broken system.

"Anthony Albanese says improving voters’ lives best way to fight rightwing populism"

The statement is factually correct, yet coming from the mouth of Albo makes it clear it is meaningless.

-Our resources are still handed out for peanuts to rich foreign corporations so rich foreign companies and investors enrich themselves off Australian resources. And Albo was the knight in shining armour that came to defend the gas lobby when the scary 25% revenue tax appeared.

-Coleworths still profiteering at the expense of every day Australians while the ACCC is completely toothless on purpose so the best they can do is slap a fine akin to $5 for an average person.

-Housing is still completely unaffordable and his government is thinking of grandfathering the legislation in order to cement generational inequality further.

-Still completely subservient to the interests of Amerisrael rather than Australians by cheerleading all the war crimes these 2 terrorist states commit.

-The rich getting richer, the poor getting poorer, and thanks to inflation, we are all about to get a lot poorer while the rich buy assets on the cheap because they have billions of free money to spend on assets.

The people who cheerlead albo feel like the same fake crowd that cheerlead Biden, whose only achievement was paving the red carpet for fascism because his only interest was defending the failed status quo to the end

This is not the first time we have seen private corporations try to post corpo propaganda to protect their image, it is becoming quite more common though as private companies start taking a bigger ownership of everything around us.

Which made me wonder? Who actually falls for this propaganda?

Like does anyone believe woolies is doing this out of the kindness of their heart and wont be gathering obscene profits with new all time profit highs?

A private company is fundamentally immoral as they will do anything in pursuit of profit, if they could put workers in a meat blender because it made them more profit, they would, this is the comical level of profit seeking a private corporation encompasses.

Like we got movies showing how all the horrible stuff are done by some evil greedy corporation, who exactly is falling for such propaganda? Does their propaganda department think this means anything?

Like i dont even need to do research to know companies are always lying when they can get away with it in order to maximise their profits and manipulate facts even more often, they have 0 trustworthiness, a random redditor's opinion is more trustworthy in my eyes.

I mean, its a funny meme, what else am I meant to write on the text body?

Colesworths and other companies excited in how much they are gonna profiteer while blaming the oil shock price inflation. And we arent even close to the full effects of the oil shock.

Food costs 3.1% more since last march

Clothing and footwear 7.1% more since last march

Housing 6.5% more since last march

Transport 8.9% more since last march

Education 4.8% more since last march

A good reminder here is that your actual inflation has nothing to do with the CPI, its what you actually buy.

So as a worker, you need to pay for food, housing, transport and some clothing, so even if all costs from those categories were equal(they are not), your inflation actually rose by 6.4%

Triple the RBA's low target of 2% (3% being the high target).

Just something for next time when "experts" will try to gaslight you and tell you costs only rose by 4.6% and you should happy happy its so small.

No amount of bs is going to trick people now into giving our gas away for free even though plenty of mainstream media will do great mental gymnastics to justify why its actually very important.

And after watching this video about how history works, one of the first things the rich did to take over control of society was to establish their own media to brainwash people into supporting their goals, you know the typical lies, trickle down economics, government regulation chocking investment, big government bad etc etc.

But we now live in an era were mainstream media are kinda irrelevant, if not non existent for young people. I dont even use a TV, all I watch I can watch at my convenience in my pc or tablet and that has lead to a lot of people getting their information for "not approved sources" aka sources not funded by the ultra rich designed to push their propaganda about how its actually good for the rich to get richer.

Their propaganda is extremely fragile because it is extremely easy to debunk if you havent unironically fallen for the economic ""experts"" the pro corporate media keep pushing as holy and true, plenty of people now realise the rich getting richer is bad, money will never trickle down, we are on our way back to feudalism but with advanced surveillance.

And thanks to online media and streaming, there's many big voices now that are here to debunk all this. Punter's politics, ette media, swollen pickles etc

Which might also explain why the triopoly is so utterly out of touch, they still think people are brainwashed by their pro corporate media, they think that Punter's politics is just some irrelevant youtuber that they can drown with their pro corporate media, but that hasnt worked and instead has forced all the pro corpo media to defend giving our gas away for free.

But that doesnt work if most of us have moved away from their pro corporate media.

Now the uneasy part of all this is that the solution for the rich people's problems is simple, buy up the platforms people spend their time online and slowly removing all people who are going against their corpo interests, and not only that, drown the competition away by increasing their costs via ID verification laws so people only ever stay in those big platforms they fully own and control
