#auspol #covid19aus fighting a pandemic virus with political beliefs is like bringing a knife to a gun fight. There’s barely a word of this bilge from Hildebrand that isn’t a disgusting testament to the death cult of modern libertarianism. /1

‘Battle’ with Covid isn’t prioritising NSW businesses over peoples’ health. That’s completely surrendering to the virus, doing nothing to fight it. Delusional rubbish. This suggested increased appetite for ‘risk’ is just the latest conservative weaponised spin. /2
Their version of ‘battle’ with Covid is the mindless, suicidal ignoring of it, while we go on with our banal ‘economic’ lives. There’s no battle there, it’s like an episode of Blackadder, sending us all over the top into the path of the German machine guns, carrying bayonets. /3
The pandemic was always going to get to a point where our deepest underlying beliefs were exposed. It’s a damning judgment of political libertarianism, just look at the UK and US, who the NSW Government and federal LNP ape so relentlessly. /4
For imbeciles like Hildebrand to suggest we use their beliefs to fight Covid, after the hundreds of thousands dead there and their complete social and economic chaos - how much real evidence needs to hit a libertarian head-on for them to recognise their beliefs are idiotic? /5
Unfortunately we see the answer. No amount of evidence fixes them. They would rather you and I and everybody else die, than change their minds. It’s in Joe’s title. For the people of NSW, this sadly means Covid is coming for you. Every single one of you. /6
You can’t manage the exponential curve. Ring-fencing it won’t work. Blabbering about protecting our ‘freedoms’ is the virus’ favourite stand-up comedy act, Gladys is its favourite comedian. NSW will discover what all other libertarians have, but won’t accept…/7
…that whether to ‘lockdown’ isn’t a choice you make. It’s all that works. You do it early, and save lives and economies. Or you do it late, and kill thousands, and your economy. NSW has chosen the latter. Buckle up, you may be asked to die for their political beliefs. /end
