THE PSYCHOLOGIST : Welcome to Australia

Welcome to Australia

Well, it’s official, just shriek ‘refugee’ and you’re in (and aren't the lefties all falling over themselves over this one)!

Yes, thanks to that useless sack of treacherous rubbish (mister ‘safe seat’ himself), Petro Georgiou, who’s done bugger all for anyone much - ever - the ‘open door’ is once again very much in business. Yep’, all you have to do is bring in a child and say ‘refugee’, (who cares the grounds, because after all, why would you lie about something like that), and you’re in. Safe as houses.

REBEL Liberal MP Petro Georgiou says he's happy with the deal struck with Prime Minister John Howard over immigration detainees. . .

Rebel, huh? 'Swine' is more like it. But let’s see how rebellious (and happy) you are if the comfy seat of Kooyong gets pulled from under your rather ample ass, hey, Petro? Seriously, this guy needs to lose preselection – immediately. Because if this is all he’s good for, then he needs to be pissed off as quickly as possible.

I’m sick to death of the lies being peddled here; the notion that Australia gratuitously locks up refugees. Australia does not lock up refugees. By population, Australia is one of the largest welcomers of refugees on the face of the globe. Australia locks up people who arrive uninvited, without travel documents, or who overstay their visas and won't leave. That’s it. And just because someone screams ‘refugee’ when faced with the boot ('oh, but why would they lie') doesn’t mean they are (but just try telling that to your average, jack-boot lefty).

But enough of this.

Quite clearly, the only way to respond to this BS, once and for all, is to commence an immediate campaign to tighten Australia’s visa regulations, and particularly when it comes to high-risk nationalities (and you can stick your ‘racism’ tags where the Sun don’t shine. I even made it easy for you: check out the pretty red).

And when I say ‘tighten’, I’m suggesting something akin to an Eagle's ass in a power dive.

Here are just a few suggestions (feel free to add a few of your own):

Q: You have one or more children you wish to bring into our country on holiday with you? Yes?
A: Dear God, will someone turn off those alarms! No. No child visas; no exceptions. We’ll consider you, but your kids stay at home while you’re on ‘holiday’. Don’t like it? Try France. I hear the Riviera is nice.

Q: You have relatives living here with whom you wish to visit? Yes?
A: Sorry – you can just forget the whole deal right there.

Q: You have elderly relatives back home and to whom you are the only relations? Yes?
A: Woohoo – you must be kidding! Piss off out of our Consulate immediately!

Q: You have large assets (provable) back home, in the form of bricks and mortar, and which you would entirely forfeit were you not to return? Yes?
A: We’ll give that one some thought. . .

Update: scuttlebut has it that Petro might be facing some challengers, with a number of contenders looking to take him on over preselection. Good. The man is completely useless to his electorate (just ask them - any of them), and even more useless to us.

Background

The essence of conservatism is caution. The essence of Leftism is anger

This blog is written solely by John Ray, who has a Ph.D. degree in psychology and 200+ papers published in the academic journals of the social sciences. It does occasionally comment on issues in psychology but is mainly aimed at giving a conservative psychologist's view on a broad range of topics. There are very few conservative psychologists.

The blog originated in Australia and many (but not most) posts discuss Australian matters. Australians have an unusually good awareness of events outside their own country. Australian newspapers feature news from Britain and the USA not as an afterthought but as a major part of their coverage. So Australians do tend to have a truly Western heart, which is the reason behind the old name for this blog. So events in Australia, Britain and the USA all feature frequently here, plus occasional coverage of other places, particularly Israel.

A primer in American politics for non-Americans:

SCOTUS is the Supreme Court of the United States, the highest court in the land

The "GOP" stands for "Grand Old Party" and refers to the Republican party. The GOP is at present center/Right, while the Democrats have been undergoing a steady drift Leftwards and now have policies similar to mainstream European Leftist parties.

The ideological identity of both parties has however been very fluid -- almost reversing itself over time. In the mid 19th century, the GOP was the party of big government and concern for minorities while the Democrats advertised themselves as "The party of the white man" -- an orientation that lasted into the mid 20th century in the South. The Democrats are still obsessed with race but have now flipped into support for discrimination AGAINST whites.

Was Pope Urban VIII the first Warmist? Below we see him refusing to look through Galileo's telescope. People tend to refuse to consider evidence— if what they might discover contradicts what they believe.

Global warming

Calibrated in whole degrees. Larger graph here

Climate scientist Lennart Bengtsson said. “The warming we have had the last 100 years is so small that if we didn’t have meteorologists and climatologists to measure it we wouldn’t have noticed it at all.”

The term "Fascism" is mostly used by the Left as a brainless term of abuse. But when they do make a serious attempt to define it, they produce very complex and elaborate definitions -- e.g. here and here. In fact, Fascism is simply extreme socialism plus nationalism. But great gyrations are needed to avoid mentioning the first part of that recipe, of course.

Two examples of Leftist racism below (much more here and here):

Beatrice Webb, a founder of the London School of Economics and the Fabian Society, and married to a Labour MP, mused in 1922 on whether when English children were "dying from lack of milk", one should extend "the charitable impulse" to Russian and Chinese children who, if saved this year, might anyway die next. Besides, she continued, there was "the larger question of whether those races are desirable inhabitants" and "obviously" one wouldn't "spend one's available income" on "a Central African negro".

Hugh Dalton, offered the Colonial Office during Attlee's 1945-51 Labour government, turned it down because "I had a horrid vision of pullulating, poverty stricken, diseased nigger communities, for whom one can do nothing in the short run and who, the more one tries to help them, are querulous and ungrateful."

Defensible and indefensible usages of the term "racism"

The book, The authoritarian personality, authored by T.W. Adorno et al. in 1950, has been massively popular among psychologists. It claims that a set of ideas that were popular in the "Progressive"-dominated America of the prewar era were "authoritarian". Leftist regimes always are authoritarian so that claim was not a big problem. What was quite amazing however is that Adorno et al. identified such ideas as "conservative". They were in fact simply popular ideas of the day but ones that had been most heavily promoted by the Left right up until the then-recent WWII. See here for details of prewar "Progressive" thinking.

R.I.P. Augusto Pinochet. Pinochet deposed a law-defying Marxist President at the express and desperate invitation of the Chilean parliament. He pioneered the free-market reforms which Reagan and Thatcher later unleashed to world-changing effect. That he used far-Leftist methods to suppress far-Leftist violence is reasonable if not ideal. The Leftist view that they should have a monopoly of violence and that others should follow the law is a total absurdity which shows only that their hate overcomes their reason

Franklin Delano Roosevelt was a war criminal. Both British and American codebreakers had cracked the Japanese naval code so FDR knew what was coming at Pearl Harbor. But for his own political reasons he warned no-one there. So responsibility for the civilian and military deaths at Pearl Harbor lies with FDR as well as with the Japanese. The huge firepower available at Pearl Harbor, both aboard ship and on land, could have largely neutered the attack. Can you imagine 8 battleships and various lesser craft firing all their AA batteries as the Japanese came in? The Japanese naval airforce would have been annihilated and the war would have been over before it began.

FDR prolonged the Depression. He certainly didn't cure it.

WWII did NOT end the Great Depression. It just concealed it. It in fact made living standards worse

Joe McCarthy was eventually proved right after the fall of the Soviet Union. To accuse anyone of McCarthyism is to accuse them of accuracy!

The KKK was intimately associated with the Democratic party. They ATTACKED Republicans!

People who mention differences in black vs. white IQ are these days almost universally howled down and subjected to the most extreme abuse. I am a psychometrician, however, so I feel obliged to defend the scientific truth of the matter:

The average African adult has about the same IQ as an average white 11-year-old and African Americans (who are partly white in ancestry) average out at a mental age of 14. The American Psychological Association is generally Left-leaning but it is the world's most prestigious body of academic psychologists. And even they have had to concede that sort of gap (one SD) in black vs. white average IQ. 11-year olds can do a lot of things but they also have their limits and there are times when such limits need to be allowed for.

America's uncivil war was caused by trade protectionism. The slavery issue was just camouflage, as Abraham Lincoln himself admitted. See also here

Did William Zantzinger kill poor Hattie Carroll?

Did Bismarck predict where WWI would start or was it just a "free" translation by Churchill?

Leftist psychologists have an amusingly simplistic conception of military organizations and military men. They seem to base it on occasions they have seen troops marching together on parade rather than any real knowledge of military men and the military life. They think that military men are "rigid" -- automatons who are unable to adjust to new challenges or think for themselves. What is incomprehensible to them is that being kadaver gehorsam (to use the extreme Prussian term for following orders) actually requires great flexibility -- enough flexibility to put your own ideas and wishes aside and do something very difficult. Ask any soldier if all commands are easy to obey.
