Anyone else out there in BUGland disgusted by the extent of the childish, anti-nuclear memes now flooding social mediocre in the wake of Peter Dutton’s seven-nuclear-power-stations policy announcement?

Yes, there’s not nearly enough of it, don’t you reckon? May it blossom like extra eyes on Blinky-Bill and a fucking carp as the memes work their magic to frighten just a small section of the Australian community who can be convinced such nuclear power stations are intrinsically dangerous to our health.

I love the notion, spread by the likes of Michael Rowland on ABC News Breakfast on behalf of the Opposition and Jack the insider, whoever the fuck he writes for, that opponents to Dutton’s plan can’t chew gum and walk at the same time.

That while frightening the bejesus out of some, they can’t convince the vast majority of Australians that renewables are already the cheapest and most effective way to go to power Oz in the future and combat global warming in the decades ahead.

And are these memes childish? Of course they fucking are! But was there anything more childish than Dutton during the Voice referendum campaign as a gutless racist he is, refusing to comment on the No case’s gutless, racist and divisive arguments against such an innocent proposition as a non-binding voice for first nations people on matters that affect them?

Stayed largely silent while the mainstream mediocre did the No case’s bidding, except of course when he spent time proving he’s not a leader’s arsewipe by shouting along with Michaelia Cash that “If you don’t no, vote No!”

So as far as I’m concerned, may the gutless, racist Dutton be completely covered in memes depicting multi-eyed variants of various Australian fauna.

Besides, just how wrong are those who might be swayed by these childish memes? That living anywhere near these seven nuclear reactors could be very injurious to one’s health, one way or another.

Let’s consider this war with China, that many in the mainstream mediocre and Deputy PM Richard Marles are convinced is coming? Appreciate it may not be straight away, what with China being reasonable people and all that. I’m told they’re happy to wait until we have all of our AUKUS subs; after all, I think any decent war should last at least a few weeks, right?

But when this war does come – presumably after the US has ground itself to a decades-long civil war after Donald Trump’s failed presidential bid for an unprecedented third-term – does anyone think it’s a good idea that Australia’s power supplies will be concentrated in seven, easily targeted, nuclear power stations?

I thought there might have been some reasonable strategic, nation-protecting argument for a widespread national network of wind, solar and green hydro power backed by state-of-the-art batteries, even if our mountains and plains look shit, are totally devoid of birdlife, and all our whales, dolphins, sharks, sunfish and other marine life are dead.

Bit of security there, hmm? Just a thought. At least give us a fighting chance against president for life Xi Jinping or his chosen offspring? Extra few weeks before the white flag, what!

Unpatriotic? Sorry, I’ve got Covid at the moment. So maybe I’m not thinking too straight right now. When I’m feeling better, I’ll grab a broom as a pretend rifle and spend time in the back yard moving in review order, by the centre. I’ll be gun-ho again before you know it.
