    One year, in Australia, a prime minister was elected by the people, who started putting in some socialist type systems and supports. It terrified the powers that be, and they all wrote letters to each other to enact an emergency coup.

    Spoiler they did the emergency coup, and whereas usually if a person in prime ministership is removed, the next in power in that same party is then the next to take power, but they extended that they transferred power to the opposing party, nobody had voted in, because they supported the system staying as it is, funnelling all the money up to a select few, and keeping the mass populous scraping by. Some systems had already been implemented, though and after that both political parties continued on to work to slowly undermine and deconstruct as much of it as possible, whilst securing ownership of all the mass media, so they could take away the people’s own comforts and basic needs, and simultaneously convince them they want it. They had to take away the things put in to benefit people, slowly, or the game would be up.

      Bullshit.

      One year, in Australia, a prime minister was elected

      Why not write the year and the name of the prime minister.
      Your story sounds completely made up.

          You forgot the year:

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gough_Whitlam

          21st Prime Minister of Australia In office 5 December 1972 – 11 November 1975

          So maybe the reversal of those policies were caused by the oil crisis that started in 1973?
          The late 70’s were shit economically in all of the developed world including Australia.
          There is probably no conspiracy here, just unfortunate timing. Also it was half a century ago, so not that relevant today, unless you can show a trend.

          You are not arguing your point well enough to make it plausible.
          Maybe if you arguments had actual facts, that had actual sources, but it’s impossible to spend time on every crazy conspiracy story that cross social media.
          If there is no evidence provided, Occam’s razor tells us they are probably unfounded.
          Obviously it’s not up to me to substantiate your claim. Having to drag the name out of you, and you still fail on the dates, shows that you are not strong on basic facts.
          Furthermore one anecdotal story from the 70’s does not show a trend, and has little bearing on the political landscape half a century later.
