VicSoc is not SAlt. My criticism is of Socialist Alternative, and if you thought it was directed at you then that’s not what I intended.
I’m impressed by how organised and active VicSoc seem to be at the moment. They’re running a great campaign in Brunswick, I hope they do well. I’m looking forward to living somewhere where the two party preferred count is between the Greens and VicSoc.
@MisterFrog
I lost any sympathy for SAlt because of their habit of repeatedly turning up to rallies like the Invasion Day march, where the organisers have specifically asked political organisations not to do any campaigning, and using them as an opportunity to flog newspapers and recruit members.
But you know, if being lectured about Trotskyism by a Melbourne Uni student who is larping as a dangerous radical before going off to work for daddy’s law firm is your thing, get amongst it.

I was reading it thinking “they’ve got to be on the fediverse” and yep. Hi
@jadehopepunk, well done.

Oh, and your made-up “facts” about housing supply are also from the “they come here and take our jobs” school of economics, and it is simply not true. In the past 10 years Australia’s population has increased by 16%, but the supply of housing has increased by 19%. We’re building housing faster than we’re growing the population.
You’re ignoring the evidence and promoting misinformation about migrants. Tell me again how you’re not a fucking racist.
@FreedomAdvocate
So somehow you believe the bit where decreased supply in the labour market leads to higher wages, but not that it means that there is a, you know, decrease in the number of workers? Much smart, very genius.
Tell me more about your economics insights that show their modeling is wrong. We all stand to learn here, given that your PhD obviously comes from the University of Vibes, Man.
@FreedomAdvocate
Sorry, can you point out the part of the article where it says that ‘there will be “less workers to build houses” lol’. Your reading comprehension is as bad as your grasp of economics. Yes wages would be higher but inflation would negate any benefits to the workers.
Your claim that migrants worsen the housing crisis is not based on evidence, because the actual evidence says the opposite is true. And given the way you double down in spite of that seems a lot like it’s a made-up justification for your xenophobia. Walks like a bigot, quacks like a bigot.
@FreedomAdvocate
“Immigration is solving the housing crisis better and better every single day.” FTFY
@FreedomAdvocate Bullshit. The organisers were nazis, everyone who went along was a fucking nazi.

What a goose. None of the wildlife in Australia scares me half as much as imagining what it would be like if every bogan was packing a gun. Maybe Usians should take a look at how their gun death statistics are off the charts compared to the rest of the world and, you know, shut the fuck up.
