If I had his money, I'd start hiring hitmen to take out all of the politicians imposing the 'new normal'
shareThey deserve it, even with all the vaccines, medications and new knowledge about the disease they keep with the dictatorship and it is only getting worse.

I think we are looking at Muhammad Ali type of situation.
He's using the platform to make a statement and make Australia and the new normal look ridiculous/insane.
More than that, it's allowing us - those not in the new normal mindset - to gauge the situation. If the polls are correct, the vast majority of Australians are fully on board with the new normal and all that it entails. In that regard, it's a dangerous country to be in and I don't think that would have been quite as apparent if Novak did not make a stand and suffer for it. That poll would not have been undertaken.
Speaking of Ali - Anti-war sentiment was growing and it was thought that a stern rebuke of Ali would help put out the fire. In fact, the opposite took place. Ali’s brave stance fanned the flames.
We can only hope that something similar results from this. Quite a few massive protests are being scheduled within the next 30 days worldwide - let's see where they take us.

ha - i wish we had riots. BLM riots led to numerous changes pretty fast (if only because corporations were on board nearly from beginning).
As far as new normal is concerned though, everyone is calling for peaceful protests which lead to nothing.
Imagine if people protested Nazis with peaceful protests - where would the world be now, I wonder?
I think January 6 protests were also a joke and it's a telling sign how the politicians and the sellout TV news anchors are treating the protesters as 'terrorists'. We are also currently seeing a similar treatment of the unvaccinated.
It is all rather interesting to observe from a distance. You were right in pointing out just how little the protests have accomplished in the past - and how long it took for them to lead to any sort of change. Truth is, peaceful protests are bullshit. Then again, violent protests are bullshit as well (those were numerous in the decades prior to 1917). For a swift change, you really do need to remove the key people - and do it in such a way that the replacements become hesitant to lead the same way. I don't think that's ever been done before though -

You mean 'to what end?'
When the key proponents of the new normal are removed, the situation might change quite swiftly. We might indeed see the military take over the government roles - or, if lucky, the opposition will take over.
You'll note that the opposition to the new normal in most countries appears to be pro-freedom, not vice versa.
If, of course, yet another proponent of the new normal takes over, that entity will have to be removed in a similar fashion.
The bigger issue that we are facing these days is not just the leaders, but also the people. The talk of 'mass formation' is legit. The 24/7 fear propaganda has drastically changed the perceptions of people worldwide (other than Africa, where the tools of propaganda dissemination are not as commonplace as they are in technologically advanced countries, with everyone carrying a smartphone). They've been indoctrinated into believing that masked and highly vaxxed society is by far better, safer and smarter than the unmasked/unvaxxed one - and they'd actually fight any sort of change back to the 'old normal'. That's where we are right now. This makes the situation by far worse than anything we've seen before.

Speaking of revolutions, I am reminded of this passage in the 1984. It helps to explain what goes wrong with most revolutions.
The aims of these three groups are entirely irreconcilable.
The aim of the High is to remain where they are. The
aim of the Middle is to change places with the High. The
aim of the Low, when they have an aim—for it is an abiding
characteristic of the Low that they are too much crushed
by drudgery to be more than intermittently conscious of
anything outside their daily lives—is to abolish all distinctions
and create a society in which all men shall be equal.
Thus throughout history a struggle which is the same in its
main outlines recurs over and over again. For long periods
the High seem to be securely in power, but sooner or later
there always comes a moment when they lose either their
belief in themselves or their capacity to govern efficiently,
or both. They are then overthrown by the Middle, who enlist
the Low on their side by pretending to them that they
are fighting for liberty and justice. As soon as they have
reached their objective, the Middle thrust the Low back
into their old position of servitude, and themselves become
the High. Presently a new Middle group splits off from one
of the other groups, or from both of them, and the struggle
begins over again. Of the three groups, only the Low are
never even temporarily successful in achieving their aims.
It would be an exaggeration to say that throughout history
there has been no progress of a material kind. Even today,
in a period of decline, the average human being is physically
better off than he was a few centuries ago. But no advance
in wealth, no softening of manners, no reform or revolution
has ever brought human equality a millimetre nearer.
From the point of view of the Low, no historic change has
ever meant much more than a change in the name of their
masters.
1984
George Orwell
People expect equality only from those that are superior to them.
