Oh no you don’t Abbie Chatfield. No one is buying your performative bullshit tears.

I genuinely cannot think of a place I’d rather NOT be than Coachella, but I haven’t stopped thinking about what Justin Bieber did on that stage on Saturday night. Everyone who expected spectacle left disappointed. Everyone who understood what actually happened left in tears. The commoditisation of every part of our lives has finally hit a wall, and it’s a 32-year-old man with a laptop that might be the most perfect antidote. Millennials understood the assignment…

The Full Federal Court ruled that a women-only app illegally excluded a biological male. 2 of the judges were women. The law, written by a woman. A Sex Discrimination Commissioner who is a woman. The legal architecture that once protected women was not dismantled by men. It was dismantled by women who mistook the performance of compassion for the substance of it. This is what suicidal empathy looks like in practice, and women are paying for it with their safety.

For transparency, I did cut out his long pauses and his “ums” just so I could fit it in the reel. I did not change or fix his speech in anyway. You can find the full clip on the Internet. I can’t believe this was going to sway people from one nation. @senatorpaulinehanson ONE NATION Hanson🇦🇺

We need to have the uncomfortable conversation about violent crime in Victoria and in Australia at large. Last night, two boys, 12 and 15, were murdered with machetes in Melbourne’s west. That headline alone should shock you. But it’s just the latest in a long line: a father stabbed 11 times in the face during a home invasion, a man nearly losing his hand over a phone, a doctor murdered in his own home. This isn’t just “bad luck” or “isolated incidents.” This is the product of failed policy, soft bail laws, and a culture that emboldens violent youth because they know there are no consequences. I know this firsthand. I was the victim of a home invasion. My car was stolen. My equipment—my livelihood—was taken. I haven’t felt safe in my own home since. And every time I speak up, I’m dismissed as a cooker or a right-wing nutjob. But I speak up because I care about my community, my state, and my country. It shouldn’t take you watching a loved one lose a limb or worse, their life for you to realise that silence and apathy come at the cost of all our safety. Edmund Burke said it best: “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” And too many of us are doing nothing. If you believe that we should have the right to defend ourselves in our own homes sign the petition for Castle Law in my bio. Every signature matters. Every voice matters.

People like Anthony Albanese and Grace Tame came out of the same cultural movement. They speak the same language, signal the same values and built their reputations on the same moral framework. Which is why watching them turn on each other is so revealing. This isn’t really about personalities. It’s about a movement that spent a decade dividing the world into good people and bad people, and labelling anyone who disagreed as far-right, dangerous or worse. Eventually a lot of ordinary people just opted out. They stopped arguing and stopped engaging. And when a movement runs out of external enemies, the only people left to fight are the ones standing next to you. History shows this pattern over and over again. Movements built on moral certainty eventually fracture, and the people who invested the most belief in them often feel the most betrayed when reality intrudes. What we’re seeing now feels like the early stages of something familiar — the moment where the revolution starts turning inward. The revolution always eats its own children. And I don’t think this is the last time we’re going to see it happen.

For the record: I don’t enjoy making reels like this. I don’t want to be the angry voice in your feed, but I cannot sit still and be quiet while people dance around the obvious. This is a cultural problem. Young people are murdering each other. Hardened, violent criminals are repeatedly let back into the community on bail. A soft-on-crime judicial approach pushed by woke ideology has created chaos across the Western world, all in the name of “compassion.” Meanwhile real people and real victims are paying the price. You can call me racist, a bigot, a Nazi, I’ve heard it all before and it doesn’t change the facts: people are being stabbed, raped and killed while our institutions look the other way. I’m not calling for violence. I’m calling for courage, honesty and consequences. Stop being politically correct. Call it what it is. How many more have to die before we stop pretending this is working?
