Hello Patrons!
This week we've got another early video for you. It's something Jordan has wanted to do for a while: sum up things you can do that will actually help make this country a better place.
Positivity — what a shocking departure from the norm.
We should be back with something resembling a normal schedule this week, stay tuned for the updates and thank you for your continued support!

Excellent, excellent, excellent. Thanks!!!

Perhaps FJ should do a whole episode in the "A Current Affair" style but targeting the libs instead of wellfare cheats. That would at least be amusing.

Really funny video but I was wondering if you could make a video outlining the corruption of the LNP in a non jokey way so that I can show my older relatives? They usually stop listening after the first joke or swear. I understand it goes against ur usual style of content but it would be extremely helpful to get the older population to stop voting for the LNP.

Nice one changing the name and opening, MAGA was dog whistle, haha.
Andy James
Thanks Amelia, that's what I needed much appreciated

Not sure on the audio effect (pretty easy to simulate on audacity with pitch bending and reverb or just search 'triggered' audio lol) but it's just negative/colour inversion.
Andy James
Random question, but when he says "Cut your hand off cunt so you can't bother me any more" Can anyone tell me what the name would be for the editing effects on screen when that happens? It's like opposite colour and voice distortion?
I've managed to convince a few mates now. If they trust your opinion, they will listen to the facts. They were also fairly apolitical but felt like they needed to do more

It hasn't been published publicly on YouTube yet - no idea why - it's been a few days now, early Patreon access generally only gets you a day's early viewing of a vid
Holden
But I can click the link from Patreon and get it fine

By the way Jordies Crew, I can't see this video on my YouTube feed for some reason, have I caught a ScomoVirus of some kind?
Holden
Ecosia is a great start, any ideas on how to make it better or tangible alternative ideas to support besides adblockers? I get the feeling that people who get the $$$ from adblockers are just feed some weirdos with a human trafficked soul in their lounge room in Belarus for some reason, or maybe that country Craig Kelly went to.

excellent . high time Australia had a journalist that didn't suck mudoch's rancid cock. BTW, the vid ensured that even tho work is patchy, short term contracts ,thanks to the liberals (AKA: the thieving traitors party) i'm about to sign up to the CFMEU.

Great video as always, thanks Jordies. Personally I wish you'd stop plugging Ecosia though! They're just using search results from Microsoft Bing, and the majority of their revenue comes from the ads Microsoft pays them to run on those Microsoft search results. So, you're getting shittier results and directly enriching one of the most evil companies on the planet. Ecosia also does not plant a tree for every search. It's more like 1 tree for every 30-50 searches you make as an individual. Then there's also the much more contentious topic of how impactful tree planting is in the first place. How well is Ecosia is monitoring and maintaining the trees it plants? Maybe you've heard about how 90% of the 11m saplings Turkey planted recently died? Kinda awkies given that we probably need to plant more than a trillion trees for the whole tree-planting thing to really make a difference. But the PR department of Ecosia is probably not going to talk about those things. Just like the Tesla PR department chose not to talk about the environmental impact of buying a Tesla with bitcoins. Put differently, when it comes to environmental justice, I think it's gonna be EXTREMELY hard, perhaps impossible, to find quality examples of "doing well by doing good" in this late-stage capitalism hellscape we're all trapped in. Aaaanyway, I might be salty because they fired me at the beginning of this year, after only being there for around 3 months. I'm a career programmer who's seen how the sausage is made at a few different larger organizations now (and also has not been fired from anywhere else, in case you're wondering!). Ecosia was by far the worst I've seen, and I've worked in chaotic ~15-30person early startups. If you want to encourage your viewers to do something "easy" in order to help push the needle, I feel that. I'm sure the ToS you signed with Youtube, Patreon etc sadly prevent you from encouraging your viewers to burn down the nearest NAB branch. Perhaps encourage people to install adblockers (except when watching Jordies videos on Youtube, of course), switch away from Google (without needing to actually put your name against an alternative and end up with dickbags like me in da comments), spend less time on the established "engagement"-factories like FB,Insta, etc. That's much more likely to at least inconvenience the capital class, rather than reassigning 0s from the Google quarterly statement, to the Micro$oft one.

Join a general one, submit a complaint today Aussie Unions.
George
Same jordies, I’m an employer and I’m a member of MEAA, they called me up to ask if they could help me cos of covid and I told them I tapped out at the start of Covid, no longer a muso by trade, I’m basically just there to show my support.
Ryan Lago
I'm going to sign up to my union and i've already convinced my mum who voted liberal last election to vote labor next time
Alex Isaac
It's more the point that they stick together and because of that they earn more for Thier families. Rather than letting the boss buy a bigger boat the next year it gets spread around.

I needed a break from the Red re-record anyway
Brazoree
Holy fkn loud you bastard
John Smith
Where’s all of the links I’m supposed to click on?
Eirinn Ske Comics
Same for me right as he says “data” it stops. Kind of ominous.
Barial
Good re-tread on old ground, definitely needed even if a lot of us already know :)

Told my mum that murdoch ruined her business with the negative gearing hysteria, she unsubscribed from a murdoch owned paper, and turned on the liberal party and now promises to kick the LNP out next federal election. For clarification, the negative gearing made the investors she worked with, too spooked to start new projects. Which led to months and months of little or no work. And to her selling assets and incurring debt. Once she saw the link between the reporting and how it affected her business, she saw red.
Octavia
Great stuff. I’m so torn with my (niche) union. I support unionism (even been a union rep multiple times) but they’re run by industrial relations amateurs thanks to hiring within the industry instead of paying for someone with a law degree. I also have indisputable evidence that they actively and knowingly facilitated a convicted p@3dophile to submit a statement FROM PRISON to get his wife (whom he admitted to abusing on the stand in his sentencing hearing in which she was a witness for the prosecution after he confessed his crimes to her during the marriage) fired from her job as revenge. I don’t know what to do to change my union to an organisation I can support again. Any advice would be welcome.

It keeps stopping half way!
Shane Petzel
Also, thank you for calling out the divide and conquer shills. No Labor are not as bad as the Liberals - that's a case of pattern recognition being a step too far for your cognitive abilities.
Shane Petzel
Been doing high risk sustainable since I could pick and choose in 2010. Its been doing so well that I am almost convinced to spruik coal to keep it a secret. Also, what sort of fool is in a retail fund - may as well just pull your pants down and let a random NAB trader have his way with you.
Daniel Stafford
Can DuckDuckGo get an honourable mention for being carbon negative?
Stevie B
My partner was very disillusioned with the election process and would throw her vote away. I've joined the Labor party and successfully convinced her to give a damn and vote Labor as well!
Anthony White
I have successfully convinced another person to vote Labor. They had previously thought that the two major parties were 'just the same' and was going to vote Greens or Reason Party. I convinced them through Labor's track record and environmental policy..
Keith
I dislike the pitch that Union workers get paid more. That’s all my uncle would talk about and it came across as greedy. But I really like how they can support the little guys with legal and a bit of lead in their gloves.
