"Optimism is essential; it draws us toward the best possible futures. But when it turns into wishful thinking, it can blind us to the consequences of our present actions. In the worst potential case, the results could be collectively suicidal."

Yeah, mass population/migration is just crazy. I think the governments do it just to keep the big companies happy, more people coming into richer countries means more money spent on buying their products, = higher quarterly profits for their share price.
As CEOs always claim along the lines of, "we wouldn't be doing our fiduciary duty to our shareholders if we didn't do everything in our power possible to keep this going"
When looking at Australia via google maps satellite-view almost every piece of flat green land has been cleared of its trees and is now farmland. The only spots where this isn't the case are hilly/mountain spots where its obviously just too much work.
But this seems to be common just about anywhere in the world. For the western style quality of living we enjoy today there really isn't any more space, the only way to make it "work" is for the poorer to have less and the better lifestyle for the rich.
I think SA/Adelaide is a good example for this (aside from RE) as you can just see every spare inch of land is farmland practically till it hits the desert https://goo.gl/maps/9jKnRcwACH92
One day in the future I can't help but think a steak dinner will be considered something only rich people eat, the thing I wonder is will the "programmed-poor" even notice they are now well below what was considered normal foods for everyone, the evidence suggests a big no.
Melbourne has changed massively over the last 10 years or so, its just chocoblock full of people, and when I ride around in the inner areas of Melbourne I see a lot of miserable frustrated people, lots of cars honking, lots of people yelling at each other for tiny things, I honestly believe the people crush is killing them.
I live next to a park, I used to always walk through a lovely duel row of aligned trees, was my favorite walk.
But since there have been so many new apartments put in the area there have been more people in the park. They placed a public-park toilet right in the middle of the row of the trees, my favorite path. Now I have seen UberEats/Deliveroo people ride up on their bikes at night and just pee on the outside walls of the public toilet, I am not joking.
Now that whole park area smells like a sewer. It's almost like some powerful politician is playing some kind of sick joke on me, 1984 style, trying to ruin the little things I enjoy.
When watching Australian ABC news (which is a similar political spectrum as CNN or BBC) they often talk about the great virtues of mass immigration etc.
These MSM groups abuse their power on what they can inject into peoples minds, they have so many people viciously protesting for open borders, or at least near open-borders policy.
And it's these same people that also then complain about unfair low wages and way overvalued home pricing.
This is MSM abuse of "knowledge power". I am calling it media "Spectrum Privilege", this is caused when all media is not on the internet via an evenly available source (like all video media being on YouTube via web-browser).
The TV spectrum can be reallocated to 5G mobile now, the sooner the better in my eyes.
While CNN is cable based, it still falls into "Spectrum Privilege" because the cable it travels over can't be used for general internet access, as in the bandwidth/spectrum it uses is locked into delivering CNN only.
With MSM constantly pushing mass immigration, this is where ABC/BBC/CNN are cancers on this world, they don't tell people basic stuff like economic basic "Supply & Demand Law".
I been trying to think up an easily absorbable way to explain it, because explaining this is crucial and key.
Maybe I can get some feedback on this description below.
Watch this video https://youtu.be/GqeRnxSuLFI
Then watch it again but replace "Bananas" with "Houses".
And there's the problem. Folks are programmed to viciously fight for open borders as mainstream-media has been brainwashing them that its fantastic, but they don't understand that its the CORE problem in causing house price over-valuation. People need somewhere to live somewhere, there are NO exceptions to this rule!
And then again, watch a typical news report video on low wages https://youtu.be/Sds8F7ukkJQ
Then watch the economics "Supply & Demand Law" video again and swap "Bananas" with "Jobs". And it's the same problem again, people are fighting for open borders just to ruin their higher wages demand potential!
More available workers = lower demand for any available worker = lower value of the worker = lower wages.
In the rural areas of Australia its been shown that when there are fewer workers available, businesses have been taking on unskilled people and training them for the job while paying them, that's massively different, that's when the "demand law" sits on the other side of the spectrum.
The Australian government is trying to convince people it would be OK to have even a bigger surge in mass migration with the ABS constantly pumping out memes like this on social media Facebook/Twitter

People are easily programmed/dumb and I think they are being betrayed. My only real hope to fix this problem is all media merging onto the internet only and being equally available via the standard web-browser.
This way people can easily choose wider sources of information rather than the traditional "TV, hit the remote button and be told what to think" method we have today, this model has turned into cancer on peoples quality of living. Getting rid of this old model and forcing people to be internet only will force people to more habitually search and think for themselves, rather than being told what to think via CNN/BBC/ABC.
I have been using this browser model for "TV" my self in the living room. I just have a 65" HTPC with a wireless mouse as my "TV remote", I can't stress enough how much I love this setup. https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=2731691#r5
This is what I love about emerging popular alternative media on Youtube, it's more direct, wastes less of peoples time and is more informative. The old establishment media like CNN are constantly trying to get news sources even like PJW banned, there's news on it almost every day.. I think PJW YT channel is banned in some euro countries.

But I am expecting internet-only based "free market content" to get a lot better as the time goes on. MSM via its "Spectrum Privilege" will never try to get better, it will rather just try and entrench themselves and try and block competitors to the very end rather than compete.
I made a meme, it could be considered provocative to minds overly "programmed" but I think its really quite a fair statement.
It's a picture of, migrants traveling across Europe, a picture of UK housing which I understand is almost as expensive as Australian housing, and a picture of the typical leftist CNN/BBC/ABC protestors unknowingly but viciously fighting to lower the living standards of their own lives, by ignoring basics like economic Supply & Demand Law and listening to MSM.
I would have thought most people have seen this video. But obviously not. And I am constantly surprised how many people haven't seen anything that I would consider common knowledge. This is because of course, MSM will never show videos like this, people still sit there in front of traditional MSM TV expecting to be shown useful information, but they won't.

You can see this guy has been talking about this subject for years, here's a similar speech from the same guy from about 20 years ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t976q6CeN8Q
Obviously with the "Immigration Gumballs" video he has been thinking up new ways to make his point of view as easily absorbable as possible. Yet only a tiny amount of people have seen it. 5million in the scale of things is nothing when people like PewDiePie get that many video views in a day making garbage videos https://www.youtube.com/user/PewDiePie/videos
And I must say I am enjoying Lauren Southern visit to Australia.
Her latest video proves she isn't allowed to walk down some public streets in Sydney. Basically, because it would be a breach of Sharia law, which is a non-western culture. Which is suppose to be ABC/MSM's dream of multiculturalism.
