We get the country we deserve: Stand up and be free. Stay quiet and you will be a slave. It's your choice!

The following was shared with me today and it inspired me to share it with you too! Far too often, we are led to believe that we can’t change anything. The truth is - we are the ONLY ones who can improve our lot. Waiting for someone else to do it for us is futile. It’s all down to you and me, baby.
Here is what I read - I hope you like it as much as I did!
I've been in France for three months now. Their approach to this is simply fantastic.
I'd like to share a bit about it.
A very well known supermarket here decided to go cashless.
A group of 50 people got together and agreed that they would all do a big shop on the same day. Pilling their trolleys to the brim and each person getting to the checkout - the human check out, not the machines - and having everything scanned before bringing cash out.
The staff were absolutely overrun. There management in a complete tizz, everyone repeatedly, calmly and in a very organised and polite fashion acting as if they knew nothing. No edges, no rudeness, no humiliation.
The supermarket reinstated cash.
.....
Petrol stations : filling up with fuel then only having cash to pay.
......
Restaurants : groups of friends going out for dinner and nobody taking phones or credit cards, only cash ...
.....
They are doing it in every single area of France. Simply refusing to be part of it.
France has been rioting for months! The mainstream media, when it covers this situation at all, says that it is only about a 2-year increase in the age of retirement. Pardon my French (definite pun intended) but that is absolute bullshit!
The French value their Freedom and their heritage more than Macron and the rest of his WEF cronies imagine. They had a revolution before to overthrow a tyrannical regime and they are absolutely capable of doing the same thing again.
Australians seem to be a different breed entirely. The attitude of ‘she’ll be right’ has led to a type of complacency which is endearing in good times but in times like these, is downright dangerous.
I don’t want to be trying to explain to my children why I allowed their rights and freedoms to be ripped away and I don’t think you do either.
I can see local groups organising to do exactly what is described above should shops decide they will no longer accept cash; or won’t let people in if they are not jabbed; or unless they QR Code or…any range of other iniquities we have been told to get accustomed to.
When the time comes, will you stand up or will you cower? That is the most important question we all need to ask ourselves right now.
Problem is, there is nothing for us to rebel against at this exact moment. I am tired of being told to resist. I resisted while there was something tangible to resist, in that I refused the jab, refused the masks, refused the tests and refused the lockdown. But that simply meant I was alone. ALL the shops, ALL the medicos, ALL the clubs, everyone else complied. So while others were allowed to shop and sit in restaurants or see health professionals, I was not. That is all over for now, but do I expect Australians to resist next time? On past evidence, no, I don't.
The French solution requires humour and spirit and intelligence, and a sense of togetherness, of shared purpose, which are features of a strong and proud culture such as France. In Australia, we no longer have a strong and proud culture. So, yes, we already have the country we deserve, and we deserve it because we allowed our pride in this wondrous land to be destroyed.
I wish I could find some simple way to focus energies. But I cannot even keep myself engaged.

Viva La France. I wish the same would happen here. People weren’t interested in hearing about Dr Phillip Altman who ran at our local election. They just turn away from any talk of jab injuries. As I drive around and see more and more surveillance surreptitiously appearing, I wonder what happened to the Sydney and the Australia I grew up in. What will be the thing that gets them angry enough to protest? The French have always been good at pushing back.
