Australia becoming a "Hermit Nation"

If you catch a wild animal, who is used to being on its own for its survival and the survival of its pack, then stick them in a cage. At first, they want to get out and be free again. But after a while, they are conditioned as they now have everything provided for them and they don't have to do anything but play with the toys the zookeepers left in the cages to keep them busy. Now, these animals may at some point have some offspring and the offspring will be more willing to accept it as that is all they have ever known. So you now have an entire generation that is all they know is this captivity and don't think of anything different. Eventually, if this keeps going you end up with no free or wild animals.

While some still remember what it was like to be free and continue to resist, eventually they are separated from the rest of the herd and put in their own captivity, away from the rest.

Sound familiar with anything that might be going on today?

Australia wants to shut down for ANOTHER ENTIRE YEAR!

It's silly to brand Australia in that way. It's also absurd, because it deals only with physicality, and that's not what hermits are about.

And I'd like to see how you'd be mocking the idea if the people who loved best were dead or incapacitated.

Well...bye. Australia is going to learn that it needs the world more than the world needs it. After all, they have 5,214 of the world's 3,478 deadliest creatures.

Traitor Joe would have done the same if not for the 3rd world deadbeats invading our country, forcing us to keep the borders open.
