What is a Bogan?

A famous Australian poet called Banjo Patterson coined the term Bogan in his poem City of Dreadful Thirst in 1902.

"We don't respect the clouds up there, they fill us with disgust,
They mostly bring a Bogan shower -- three raindrops and some dust;

What did he mean?

He meant the term Bogan as something below standard. Something pathetic. Something that is not enough; below par. He was referring to the Bogan river, which was less than a river should be, as a metaphor for the rain. The Bogan river was a sad trickle of muddy sludge that couldn't live up to the status of a flourishing river. Banjo used Bogan metaphorically to represent the rainfall that was uttlery useless.

Since then it was used metaphorically as something below standard; something of low standard.

We can see how it was used to differentiate between groups' characteristics; sophisticated versus peasant. Different standards, often polarised, held between the two groups.

And so the term Bogan had evolved to mean something of the lowest level, metaphorically.

Today, Bogan refers to a group of people in society with the same shared low standards. Peasants.

A Bogan today is a person of low standard. Unsophisticated. Unrefined. Base.

Today, so many Australians display the same behaviour as an unsophisticated, uncivilised, unrefined person that the general public calls them Bogan.

Bogans reject civilised sophisticated refined behaviour. They see it as ponsy, pretentious, dishonest behaviour and they refute it aggressively.

Being quiet in public, reserved, patient, tolerant, well-mannered, well-dressed and well-spoken is anathema to so many Australians.

This being the case, we see examples throughout Australian society.

In fact the whole world has versions of Bogan.

In the UK, they're called Chavs. In the US, Red-necks. In France, Bouffons.

So their behaviour is predictable.

We know from the fundamental cause above everything about them; they're favourite food, music, employment, hobbies, interests, beliefs, morality, tastes, dress and bearing, attitudes to advanced societal changes e.g. gays, transgender, politics, morals, problem solving, dispute resolution etc.

They are by nature morally and politically conservative.

That's because they've identified the final acceptable standard for all things and they stick to them no matter what.

The best effort of a Bogan is their least effort.

This reverance for the lowest standards is a life-style, a belief system, a moral system.

Consequently, they promote their Bogan behaviour to themselves and their children. They are a self-replicating sub-societal sect within society.

Bogans are the proud peasants of the current era.

They also love loud noises. Loud speech, loud music, loud cars. They have no care for self-awareness. They dress outdoors like they dress at home.

They have no interest in refining themselves to the higher levels of social sophistication, but mock it.

They'd rather eat a dried up petrol station pie than a fresh well-cooked steak in a restaurant.

Bogans are the lowest form of human in a civilised society and they're proud of that.

Bogans swear and spit and burp and fart and yell and argue in public.

An impromptu dispute in the street with another party will be resolved by the Bogan with either violence or by yelling "Fuck off cunt."

When you understand how low your standards in everything can be, you understand Bogan.

They prouldy claim to speak their mind.

Bogans empty their thoughts, emotions, into speech in any social situation, like an endless shotgun.  No bullshit. This is because they reject civilised expression and controlled, appropriate behaviour. Whatever is in their skull comes bursting out of their snarling mouth without any control or planning.

Bogans aspire only base life activities: to eat, fuck, shit, drink, yell, sleep, repeat; and they do nothing to refine themselves.

That is their life goal. To exist as a caveman. A wild dog.

So what's the problem?

1. They vote,

2. They have kids,

3. They occupy some same spaces as refined people.

4. They cross our paths every day.

5. They drive.

6. They promote low standards across society.

7. They can't be argued with or de-escalated in dispute. They are uncompromising.

Further:

Having a huge proportion of society aspiring to low standards is a backwards step in the evolution of civilised society.

How do we more refined civilised types cope, manage?

Bogans simply need to be mocked, laughed at, treated with disprespect and ignored for them to become harmless abberations.

We can't eradicate this sub-sect.

Like terrorists and religious nuts, we will never rid society of Bogans, but we can treat them in a way that keeps them at the bottom of the barrel of civilisation where they belong, where they want to be.

Our New Global Messiah - Greta Thunberg

Greta Thunberg is a 1st World 16 year old "girl".

She is another naive imbecile on the world stage with millions of idiot followers who influences cause-seeking morons in public and public office.

Just like all the others out there with the same sickening influence and political power, Trump, Putin, Morrison, Xing Ping and other idiot leaders in Brazil, the Philippines etc etc.

Like all teenagers, she claims to have Autism, Asbergers, depression and other markers of genius and superhuman talent and insight.

Like all Millenials, she has clutched onto a globally catastrophic cause too big to understand, but believed in with the dumb verve of an evangelist religious nut job.

She's found a band wagon and taken the reigns and off she hurtles down a road to anywhere.

Her cause doesn't matter, like none do to Millenials. As long as the cause aims to stop the world from exploding, from billions of lives being destroyed unless the cause acheives a naive poorly understood political outcome and public action.

The cause doesn't matter, because it's not the cause that drives the hysteria. It's the immature teenage drivers all humans crawl through on the way to adulthood.

I want everyone to love me, respect me, follow me, agree with me, comfort me, hug me.

I want to express my self-inflicted anxiety, fear, hysteria, depression and other teen stresses caused by watching the news, Home and Away, being oppressed by my parents, teachers, authorities and stressors caused when my phone dies in the middle of a Tweet or Text, when I can't find a phone charger, when I get less than 10 Likes, when someone says something negative to me on social media.

But I don't want to earn it honestly, because that takes effort, struggle, sacrifice, patience, diligence, intelligence. Oh it's all too hard. Earning respect and acheiving valuable goals is harder than cleaning my bedroom or doing the chores for mummy and daddy.

It's much easier to Tweet, Facebook, Instagram and email from the comfort of my messy bedroom or in class at school.

When I join a Cause, I'm no longer alone. I'm respected. I belong somewhere. I'm fighting the evil authorities and the evil corporate world, the evil patriarchy. I'm a Warrior!

I'm smart. I'm superior. I'm a Hero. I'm infallible.

But oh yeah. I'm also a victim. I'm down-trodden. I'm oppressed. I'm treated like a child.

The Cause may be real. Climate change, rising sea-levels, global warming, may all be actual scientifically verifiable events. They seem to be, if you scan mainstream science and political action from international organisations like the UN.

However, the veracity and value of the cause is NOT the point for Millenials like Greta.

The point is the fundamental point of any teen, any Millenial.

I want something great for nothing.

That something has to be a huge cause that creates a band wagon of brothers resisting the oppressive authorities and in doing so, allows me to express my teen angst, exhibit my awesome childish wisdom, my moral and intellectual superiority, and turns my weaknesses into awe-inspiring strengths.

Contrarily, I want to follow causes that are laced with as many oppressed minorities as possible.

Minorities who have one, some or all of the following lifestyles or conditions:

1. Austism.
2. Veganism.
3. Gender Confusion.
4. Homeopathic medical treatment.
5. Alternative Lifestyles.
6. Homosexuality.
7. Allergies.
8. Transgenderism.
9. Disabilities.
10. Minority religious beliefs.
11. Minority ethnicity.
12. Immigrants: especially asylum seekers.
13. Obesity.
14. Annorexia.
15. Depression.
16. Anxiety.
17. Phobias.
18. Environmentalism.

Millenials like Greta seek to check off as many of these items from the lifestyle shopping list available these days.

None of this stupidity would matter, if it wasn't for a couple of serious problems for society now and in the future.

1. Adults support them.
2. Politicians support them.
3. Their stupid ideas become law, policy, societal tenets.
4. Children grow up thinking they are equal in wisdom about the world as adults or even more wise.
5. Children grow up thinking you can get anything for nothing.
6. Real wisdom and deserved respect are devalued right down to low levels.
7. Mediocrity is celebrated, promoted and is the highest standard. No higher standard is required.
8. Bullshit is treated like the truth.
9. Educators grow them.
10. They share the same platforms as real intellectuals.


Why are we adults being dictated to by naive children who know nothing about the world, nothing about the complicated co-dependent systems that struggle to keep our shitty world intact?

Has anyone noticed why no political or corporate organisations are lead by children?

Has anyone noticed why no children are Judges, surgeons, engineers, published research scientists?

Where do we find great works of philosophy written by children?

The world is far more complicated than your simplistic view imagines.

You haven't had sex, children, serious intimate relationships. You haven't suffered the harsh lessons of a long life: failed marriages involving kids, chronic physical illness, inability to pay bills, balancing your budget to sustain a household, struggling to find work and keep your job because you have dependents, struggling through years of formal study, saving for a mortgage and struggling to avoid a default. You have no idea what suffering is. You know why?

Because you haven't lived yet.

Being a child does NOT automatically grant you a life-time of wisdom.

Being a child does NOT make your understanding of complex systems like government, law, politics, sociology, psychology and human nature greater than that of leaders, experts, your parents.

Being a child makes you as simple-minded and ignorant as your short life has made you.

Parroting the latest Cause jargon doesn't fool anyone either. Big adult words you hear on TV are well-known cliches and vaccuous policy slogans used by fraudulent adults to fool adult morons.

But even adult morons have an advantage over you. They have suffered for real, they have substantial life experience.

Before you go and change the entire world with your Tweets and your ranting balling outbursts and school-wagging protests, how about you go clean your fucking bedroom, do the dishes and read a book first.

Wisdom comes with age, not watching TV or reading Tweets.

Wisdom comes from learning, suffering, adapting, experiencing life. That takes time, a long time.

And you children by definition don't have time.

The various Causes you latch onto are often very serious issues that should be actioned, discussed, analysed, broken down into their component sub-systems for debate and resolution.

The Causes you support may indeed be real, but that doesn't automatically mean you understand them. Nor does it mean you have the intellectual capability of doing anything about them, besides screaming and wailing about them like a fucking retard throwing shit at cars on the street because they're noisey and scarey.

We have one final thing to say to Greta and her childish fraudulent pathetic self-victimised, depressed anxious autistic deluded idiots of her immature ilk:

Grow the fuck up.

Until then, shut the fuck up.

Millenials - The Future

Can you imagine a future with Millenials at the helm of our societies and governments?

What characteristics define Millenials?

1. Ban all words and practices that offend anyone.

2. I deserve a high paid job no matter what.

3. Hard work does not lead to success. The rewards of success are attained by right.

4. All negative statements, acts, discussions are anathema and must be prevented, stopped, opposed and punished, without condition.

5. Everyone's a winner. There are no losers.

6. The rights of the individual outweigh the interests of society, authorities and government.

7. Anything that makes you feel bad or sad is wrong.

8. Nothing is worth war or conflict.

9. All discussions must be positive and include nothing negative.

10. Equality means equality of outcome, not opportunity.

11. Conventional beliefs are to be challenged always and doubted due to their origin in archaic, patriarchal and obsolete authority. E.g. international borders should be abolished.

12. Authority is a false concept and its manifestations are to be destroyed.

13. We are all victims and victims of multiple causes. Therefore, we all need our victimisation to be addressed by destroying the cause of our victimhood.

14. Everyone is the same, in value, in capability, in treatment.

15. If you disagree with me, you are offensive and aggressive and wrong.

16. I must have the right to speak freely, but no one else does, if they disagree with me.

17. Everyone is good, no matter what they do.

18. There are no facts, only opinions.

19. We should not sacrifice or compromise in order to achieve a greater good for society or for ourselves.

20. All men are violent and aggressive and oppressive.

21. Sexual gender is a choice.

We could go on.

But this is enough to make the point.

If our leaders, our influencers, our law makers and policy makers and our government follow the Millenial tenets above, we need to plan now for the consequences.

What is Justice?

As usual with important concepts, the term "justice" gets bandied around in conversation, statements and debate with little explanation.

If you ask anyone on the street or even lawyers and judges, you will hear a range of distinct, vague and inadequate answers.

That's because people don't discuss the meanings of terms.

People say things like, "Justice has been served." or, "We did not get justice."

As far as We can tell, there are two popular but distinct uses of the term "justice."

Legal Justice:

What is just is what the law says, especially how it is interpreted by lawyers.

Moral Justice:

What is just is what accords with someone's morality.

Legal Justice is what occurs with the conclusion of legal proceedings: the verdict, the ruling, the sentence, the outcome.

Moral Justice occurs when someone agrees that an act accords with their morals, what they think is wrong or right.

The problem with Legal Justice is that the courts, judges and lawyers are fallible and thereby may be mistaken in their decision. So, what was just may not be just.

The problem with Moral Justice is that it is subjective, so that two people may think the same act is both wrong and right respectively, just and unjust.

So, the term now appears useless.

We want justice to be objectively true despite fallible rulings and despite personal morality.

Now we see that justice will not afford us what we need it to be.

The pursuit of justice is therefore futile.

Justice is tied to subjective personal morals and so cannot be sought for its independent objectuive truth or certainty.

There is no justice, only morality.

Freedom of Speech?

There is a movement developing currently that says it supports free speech, but.

This movement contradicts itself by supporting concurrently statements X and not X.

Hate speech is a common phrase used today to limit free speech. If you say something contrary to this movement, they will attempt to shut you down by referring to your speech as hate speech, and speech that incites violence.

This movement is expressed by a logical fallacy.

At the same time, there is an overlapping movement to protect victims proactively from having their feelings hurt.

These vicitmisers argue that free speech limits statements that "might" offend someone.

The problem with this movement is that if you can only say something that doesn't offend someone, you cannot say anything.

How is that freedom of speech?
