Although more people are openly expressing opposition to Australia's extreme immigration numbers, some people are still afraid to speak out, or even to admit there is a problem. How has self-censorship become so effective in silencing objection to the excessive volume of immigration that is driving rapid population growth and cost of living increase in Australia?
The takeover of state and commercial media by big-business interests that want rapid population growth, works in a very similar way to the old theocracy of Church and State. Government and mass media in modern Australia have cleverly stigmatised criticism of high immigration numbers on any grounds, framing all criticism as 'racist.'
Like medieval labeling of masturbation as a universal sin, treating all criticism of immigration as 'racist' shames dissenters into silence. This dynamic is reminiscent of historical theocracies where monarchy and church promoted shame, guilt, and paralysis over sexuality. For instance, it was a medieval masterstroke to define masturbation as a sin, since nearly every human experiences thoughts about masturbation, often leading to actions.
You had the choice of denying your impulses, lying about them, privately doing penance for them, but if you gave into them, you lived in fear of disease, madness, and social condemnation.
Similarly, in Australia today, criticism of what amounts to a bureaucratically organized invasion by numbers (half a million annually in a population of 27 million Australians), gets labelled 'racism.' If you grew up believing that immigration is a right that supersedes the rights of the host population, then to express or even think against this, makes you a 'racist,' even when your objections have nothing to do with race. This belief has been cultivated in Australia with religious fervour.
Indeed, the Church has provided a stock of ideological motifs to prioritise immigrant rights, notably the promotion of 'welcoming the stranger,' as if all immigrants were refugees. There is no balancing of the host's rights, no questioning of numbers, no acknowledgement of wealthy immigrants with dual nationality, or of political courting of the immigrant vote. There is even an onanist facet to the modern immigration dogma, in that not 'welcoming the stranger' is framed as 'selfishness from privileged inhabitants of a big wealthy country,' even when the growing threat of homelessness should call into question this assertion of great national wealth.
This all encourages self-doubt. Doubting your motivations can make you feel deeply flawed, leading you to refrain from voicing your concerns outside the modern confessional, or counselling environment. The mainstream media plays a role akin to that of the medieval Church, instilling shame and fear, thus silencing public discourse.
When people went to visit insane asylums like Bedlam, Salpêtrière and Charenton, in the 18th and 19th centuries, they believed that many of the sick people kept there in degrading conditions, were there because they had masturbated. Those touring these 'insane asylums' could point to them and mock them as monsters, victims of their own sinful and stupid ways, deserving of imprisonment and chaining in violent and filthy conditions.
The March against Immigration on 31 August
In modern Australia, many spectators and critics will take similar positions about the upcoming March for Australia, often termed 'The March Against Immigration,' because they have been coached to see those intending to march as giving way to the moral turpitude of racism and privileged selfishness. Perceived as racist, they are considered monstrous, undeserving of a voice. The mass media and influencers on social media have warned the public not to attend these marches, linking them to neo-Nazis and White Supremacists. Not only does this attempt to stigmatise the marches as purely racist, but it also creates a fear of violence.
It is, indeed, possible that the right-wing and left-wing underground thugs who traditionally serve the elites by wrecking democratic protest, will be deployed there, thus fulfilling expectations of violence, whether or not Nazis and White Supremacists actually march in the end. No-one will be surprised then, if the police step in and charge marchers with various crimes. It does not matter that the organisers of the march have stated and restated that the march is against the numbers, not the immigrants themselves.
Nonetheless, many comments on social media and YouTube suggest that people feel compelled to march due to Australia’s worsening economic situation, characterized by rising homelessness and poverty amid disproportionate demographic increases that are driving up demand and the cost of living.
