I do not know of any surveys about the anxieties of Australians, but you can bet that there would be similar results:

     One has to hand it to Marvel comics, they are in over-drive creating ethnically diverse “heroes,” mainly by changing old favourites like Spider-man and Captain America. Now they have a Muslim hero:

     Fortunately, comics no longer have much of an impact, having long lost out to other forms of “entertainment.” Hopefully the comic will die out, taking the pc nonsense down with it. I had collected Marvel comics since the 1960s, and through disgust with recent trends, burnt them all. In my opinion, I did not want to give them away, any more that I would give rotting food away, as the health of the public is first.

     So, if you think all of those global warming socialists are environmentally friendly, and I am thinking of you Al Gore, think again:
  http://www.shtfplan.com/headline-news/study-global-warming-skeptics-more-likely-to-be-eco-friendly-than-climate-change-alarmists_05092018

“Published in the April edition of the Journal of Environmental Psychology, the one-year study broke 600 participants into three groups based on their level of concern about climate change: “highly concerned,” “cautiously worried,” and “skeptical.” The study by Cornell and the University of Michigan researchers found that those “highly concerned” about climate change were less likely to engage in recycling and other eco-friendly behaviors than global-warming skeptics, according to The Washington Times. Those “highly concerned” about climate change were the most supportive of government climate policies (meaning they want others stolen from and forced at gunpoint to pay for their beliefs) but were the least likely to report their own individual-level actions.

     The drive to build and extend the police state is in over-drive, for sure. Here is the theory:

     A good example, no, a bad example of this, is this story about a guy who posted about his legal mushrooms getting a visit from the police, the defenders of justice:

     Fair enough; the elites and inner city chatterers fear guns and other phallic symbols, but isn’t it drawing a long bow, to be against, well, long bows?
  https://www.naturalnews.com/2018-05-17-stupid-democrats-want-to-ban-archery-because-they-claim-it-promotes-gun-culture.html

“New York Democrat Linda Rosenthal has introduced new legislation that would completely eliminate all shooting sports from New York schools, effectively disallowing students from using any form of equipment that launches any kind of projectile, which Rosenthal believes contributes to the spread of “gun culture.” Because she doesn’t like guns, Rosenthal naturally has a negative view towards the culture that surrounds their use in the United States. And if she gets her wish, New York school students will be forced to live as she does, as they will no longer be allowed to play laser tag, shoot Airsoft guns, or even participate in archery clubs at school, as all of these programs can lead to “violence,” in Rosenthal’s view.

     With mass migration comes all of the good things of diversity such as corruption and scandals, before we even get to the migrants:
  https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/12344/germany-asylum-scandal

“Germany’s Federal Office for Refugees and Migration (Bundesamt für Migration und Flüchtlinge, BAMF) will review more than 25,000 asylum decisions after allegations of corruption at its regional office in the northern city of Bremen. Interior Minister Horst Seehofer announced the audit after it emerged that a former official at BAMF’s Bremen branch allegedly accepted cash bribes in exchange for granting asylum to at least 1,200 refugees who did not meet the necessary criteria. Five others, including three lawyers, an interpreter and an intermediary, are also being investigated.”

     It looks like even streetlights, of a type, may kill us, in a way:
  http://www.shtfplan.com/headline-news/warning-5g-tech-in-wifi-street-lamps-causing-insomnia-nosebleeds-stillbirths_05232018

“A man in the United Kingdom is warning that the 5G technology found in street lamps can cause some moderate to severe health concerns.  A few of those concerns include nosebleeds, insomnia, and the more severe stillbirths. One man has decided to speak out about a sudden spike in health problems he believes are related to LED street lamps that purportedly emit 5G radiation. In Gateshead, a town in Northern England, citizens are reporting an array of disturbing side effects including insomnia, nosebleeds, and even stillbirths. However, Mark Steele has something to say about it. According to Natural News, Steele, 58, is a local resident in Gateshead and reportedly is a member of the IEEE, an organization which describes itself as “the world’s largest technical professional organization dedicated to advancing technology for the benefit of humanity.”

     Ireland, once a Catholic country, has now accepted abortion “rights”:
  http://www.breitbart.com/london/2018/05/26/irish-voters-say-yes-abortion/

“Ireland’s campaign to save the country’s Eighth Amendment, which bans abortion, is conceding it has lost Friday’s referendum by a landslide. The people of Ireland “weighed it in the balance and it came down on one side. I obviously would have preferred if they had come down on the other,” John McGuirk, communications director for the “Save the 8th” campaign, told national broadcaster RTE, according to Reuters. “There is no prospect of the (abortion rights) legislation not being passed,” McGuirk added. Many who voted in favor of repeal are crying “tears of joy” with the prospect of abortion access in their country.”

     I don’t normally report on Sweden because it just sets off my already sky high blood pressure, but, I notice that this nation of cucks and sissies is preparing for war:
  http://www.shtfplan.com/headline-news/sweden-warns-every-single-household-to-prep-for-war_05222018

“The government of Sweden has produced a 20-page pamphlet which they’ll be sending to each of the 4.8 million households in the country urging them to get prepared for…WAR. Although they haven’t been at war for over 200 years, for some reason, right now, they want their citizens to get prepped – and fast. This goes along with an article I wrote in January of 2018 when the government urged their people to be ready to cope “without help” for at least a week. Shortly before Christmas, the Swedish government quietly published a paper called “Resilience.” Initially, the requirement had been for people to be prepared for 3 days without help, but it seems like that was a baby step.

     The only real question is how long can the great Ponzi scheme of conventional finance keep rolling along?
  http://collapse.news/2018-05-21-global-debt-is-now-a-whopping-164-trillion.html

“Alan Greenspan, former chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank, admits that the current system of runaway debt cannot be stopped and there is no way to default on the debt because the Federal Reserve can always print more money and increase the national debt, “guaranteeing” treasury bonds that can never mathematically be paid back, which are not backed by any commodity or gold standard. As the U.S. national debt exceeds 21.15 trillion and as global debt exceeds $164 trillion, Greenspan says “there is zero probability of default.” This means that inflation will continue to destroy the dollar’s purchasing power — a tax into perpetuity. What exactly have we enslaved ourselves to? How do we exit a system that can inflate itself forever, without accountability or recourse? Governments are no longer interested in paying down debt because it is no longer feasible to do so.

     The global chattering class have singled out the US for the present attack on gun rights, having scored victory after victory across the West. Yet, the tale of statistics shows that the US is way down the list of dangerous gun crime places:

     Here is the latest case showing the decline of justice in Britain, where critics of the system get locked away, while the Other is free to do what they will with whoever, with the record processing of arrest, trial and sentencing in one hour!

“Not only that, but it is very hard to get any information at all, as the police have imposed a gag order regarding this case — obviously they know how bad it makes them look, as the darkness of Sharia-compliant totalitarianism descends upon the UK. Future generations of free Britons, if there are any, will curse the name of Theresa May as the destroyer of free Britain. Caolan Robertson is saying that this is a death sentence for Tommy because, like Britain First leader Paul Golding, he will likely be placed in the general prison population, which is dominated by violent Muslims who will be quite happy to dispatch Tommy to jahannam. Britain is finished, and its death as a free society is by its own hand.”

     Ooops, I almost said a bad cuss word … but this report made me drop the guard I keep on my tongue: the young generation are turning to socialism, big time:
  https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-05-26/socialism-no-longer-dirty-word 
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkYtsWIJl8k

“You would think that events in socialist Venezuela would knock some sense into these young people, but a new survey from GenForward shows increasing support for socialism. The report looks at how the millennial population thinks about politics and offers us a look at how the next generation thinks. Support for socialism is strongest among African-Americans and capitalism is supported by a small majority of white Americans. Among Asians and Latinos there is marginally more support for socialism. Given the support for the Bernie Sanders campaign this result is not surprising. When asked questions about whether strong government or the free market is the key to solving social problems, respondents believed that government is the answer by two to one. The majority felt the government was doing a good job with the economy, especially those that identified as Republican.

     The gun banners continually rattle on about the loss of lives from guns, but if they were sincere they would be accounting for lives saved by guns. They could still argue on balance that guns are bad, but at least then they would be honest. Anyway, for what it is worth, here are some rennet stories where people with guns survive the onslaught of bad guys, where the police would not have reached them in time. Sometimes, it is even off duty cops who have to defend themselves.

     I am not a big computer bloke, but this seems to be a problem, even to my mind:
  http://thebridgelifeinthemix.info/technology/cor-vpro/#sthash.VGVbewAQ.dpbs

“The new Intel Core vPro processors contain a new remote access feature which allows absolute remote access to a PC all of the time, even if the computer is turned off. And if you thought not connecting your PC to the internet solves the issue, think again, the wifi system can do it for them. Core vPro processors contain a second physical processor embedded within the main processor which has its own operating system embedded on the chip itself. As long as the power supply is available and in working condition, it can be woken up by the Core vPro processor, which runs on the system’s phantom power and is able to quietly turn individual hardware components on and access anything on them. Real world use for Core vPro processors will involve the following :

     Sweden is basically a running joke, a parody of political correctness, laughing all the way to the grave. For example, the authorities issue a warning that rape season is approaching, and that women should not go out alone:
  https://www.jihadwatch.org/2018/05/sweden-police-warn-lots-of-rapes-will-happen-this-summer-and-advise-women-not-to-go-out-late

     However, to further batter already emasculated white Swedish men, a new law on rape has it that one is essentially guilty until proven innocent:

     I hate mobile phones too, which have captured the minds of the young and are probably going to lead to a rise in brain cancers, if not the rot of all things decent:

     If there really were definitive studies demonstrating a cancer link, do you think the system would do anything about it given the money involved? We live in environments full of dangerous chemicals, chemicals that suck away manhood and destroy testosterone, but the system says that is the price of modernity and consumerism. Social problems like this one is merely water off of a very large duck’s back:

     This is a sensitive topic for women, so let me address it as an old woman who is “fat,” or as I less brutally prefer to say, “overweight,” mainly because the arthritis in my back and knees limits the amount of exercise I can do. As well, my diet was too grain based before I moved to a basic vegan diet, so the weight stayed on. For most people, given wrong nutritional information by the Big Carbo companies, even with many so called “health foods,” over the years, the weight piles up, just like debts. This is not going to end well, as this report details:
  https://www.afp.com/en/news/2265/world-faces-staggering-obesity-challenge-study-doc-1590mi1

“In 27 years from now, almost a quarter of the global population will be obese, researchers said Wednesday, warning of the mounting medical bill. If current trends continue, 22 percent of people in the world will be obese by 2045, up from 14 percent last year, according to research presented at the European Congress on Obesity in Vienna. One in eight people, up from one in 11, will have type 2 diabetes -- a form of the disease that generally hits in adulthood as a result of being overweight. “These numbers underline the staggering challenge the world will face in the future in terms of numbers of people who are obese, or have type 2 diabetes, or both,” said researcher Alan Moses of Danish healthcare company Novo Nordisk’s research and development department. “As well as the medical challenges these people will face, the costs to countries’ health systems will be enormous,” he added. In the United States, the researchers found obesity will increase from 39 percent of the population in 2017 to 55 percent in 2045, and diabetes from 14 percent to 18 percent.”

     The AK 47 assault rifle (the full auto version, not the mere semi-auto civilian one) has become the terrorist small arm of choice, being used in numerous attacks in Europe. Terrorism also shades into gang violence too and there the AK rules supreme. The reasons are simple; there are literally truckloads of these weapons available and as well, the AK is very reliable and cheap:

“The National Observatory for Delinquency in Paris has estimated that, based upon known seizure rates, the number of illegal weapons in France has been increasing at a worrying rate over recent years. In 2009, French police reportedly seized more than 1,500 illegal weapons. The following year, this increased to 2,700, while in 2013 approximately 3,500 weapons were seized – around 3% of them capable of automatic firing. Firearms controls have been “tightened” and the EU has made the disruption of firearm trafficking one of its key law enforcement priorities through to 2017. But the European Commission has openly acknowledged that there is “a lack of solid, EU-wide statistics and intelligence”, which makes dealing with the problem even more difficult.
