Coz we’re living in the digital age. This is the internet of THINGS. &#xA;&#xA;We want our stories punchy and we want them relevant and we want them now. &#xA;&#xA;And they have to be in the feed, man. Because it’s not real unless it’s in the feed.&#xA;&#xA;And plus that’s where everybody’s at these days. Nobody’s hanging out analogue anymore. &#xA;&#xA;And it’s no use writing about something that happened last year. That’s done, that’s over. That’s yesterday’s news and nobody wants to know about it. The Modern World exists in a 24 hour News Cycle. &#xA;&#xA;So it’s Fiction, but Fast. &#xA;&#xA;That’s why I smoke cigarettes and write stories on my iPhone. Because from my small island nation I can reach the world. &#xA;&#xA;And at first I found it strange that my Australian-Centric Semi-Fiction got shared internationally. I was surprised that people in New Zealand, Canada, America, and the UK, related to what I was saying. &#xA;&#xA;But now I know why. &#xA;&#xA;Global corporations are working with national governments to control Western citizens. &#xA;&#xA;And for some reason most companies are owned by Blackrock.&#xA;&#xA;And for some reason it’s beneficial to Blackrock if you cut off your dick and become a communist. &#xA;&#xA;And they’re also trying to put fake indigenous people in power.&#xA;&#xA;And speech is being censored like never before. &#xA;&#xA;Weak people get off on the thought of the government controlling what we say. But those of us who are capable and intelligent know that that’s a slippery slope. &#xA;&#xA;And plus we don’t want the government interfering in our lives. &#xA;&#xA;And I think we all owe a debt of gratitude to Elon Musk for paying $44 billion to save free speech. Without him we would still be living in 2021 where the truth was silenced. &#xA;&#xA;Now on Twitter we can actually have conversations and, finally, people can say things that are controversial. &#xA;&#xA;So I write Fast Fiction. &#xA;&#xA;And it makes some people mad. &#xA;&#xA;But they don’t understand that I just write shit I think is funny. &#xA;&#xA;And when some blue haired they/them gets triggered it makes my day. &#xA;&#xA;I think that communists will destroy Australia.&#xA;&#xA;I think Lidia Thorpe is a terrorist. &#xA;&#xA;I think Louis CK is funny and I think COVID was a scam. &#xA;&#xA;I just want to move to the Cayman Islands to pay no tax and leave Albo behind me. &#xA;&#xA;But my wife won’t let me so I need an outlet. &#xA;&#xA;That’s why I write Fast Fiction.</html></oembed>
