Jordan Shanks-Markovina (hyphenated last name invariably exposing either an absentee or feminist cuck father) is by far the most effective propagandist in Australian left-wing politics. Where his contemporaries largely concern themselves with preaching to the choir, his FriendlyJordies project distinguishes itself by marketing Labor voting to the politically incorrect sensibilities of the “everyday Australian”.
Jordan’s pragmatic calculation checks out. Woke moralism is already monopolised by the left and winning as many votes as it can, even if Labor is only scooping them up as preferences from Greens and Teals (and now, moderate Liberals). Only by marketing Labor voting to a demographic that would otherwise be alienated by woke moralism, selling them an economistic narrative that cuts through the supposedly trivial veneer of “the culture war” to a battle between organised labour and capital, can Labor hope to contain White working class defections to One Nation.
His recent video accusing this publication of intellectual inferiority to the Daily Stormer for being too soft on wogs was hilarious. This is what makes Jordan so effective, he is genuinely funny, and intentionally makes content that appeals to people like us. He softens you up with a barrage of lowbrow casual racism, gets you laughing at Drew Pavlou, then smoothly slips in a deeply disingenuous bullsh*t narrative on immigration policy that you want to agree with so you can keep laughing along.
One Nation, for all its faults, has a net negative immigration policy. Labor, for all its reforms to the terrible immigration system it inherited from the Liberals, has broken the immigration intake record that existed before it took office every year after taking office. These are cold hard facts. The first fact Jordan completely ignores, the second he copes about by blaming the Liberals.
This trick of blaming everything bad that happens under Labor on the Liberals was an effective propaganda angle for Jordan over the years, because the Liberals have been just as pro-mass immigration, woke, pro-censorship and anti-free speech as Labor have been in recent decades. So, the argument could be made that at least Labor will give workers a better deal within the two-party system, that the culture war was superficial Sky News hype with no implications on policy, and so we should vote based upon class.
The problem with all this, of course, is that One Nation is not the Liberal Party. Millions have defected to vote One Nation precisely because they want an alternative to Labor and Liberal, an alternative which actually puts an end to mass immigration.
As Jordan’s idol Bob Hawke admitted after retiring from parliamentary politics in the early 1990s, there was “an implicit pact between the major parties to implement broad policies on immigration that they know are not generally endorsed by the electorate” and “they have done this by keeping the subject off the political agenda”.
Pauline Hanson might be a retard. But she is our retard, precisely because her party is a vehicle by which immigration is forced onto the political agenda.
And at the end of the day, it is in the executive power of the Home Affairs minister to cap visa approvals arbitrarily. Section 85 of the Migration Act grants this power. The government of the day can limit immigration with total discretion. Labor was not forced to let in all these migrants after 2022 by previous governments, they freely decided to do so, despite promising before the 2022 election that they wouldn’t.
Jordan knows this, he isn’t stupid, he just doesn’t care. The point of his content is to get you to vote Labor, the guy was outed with receipts as a paid shill a decade ago. If he had a problem with mass immigration, he wouldn’t devote his professional career to shilling the Labor Party to the goyim. And he probably wouldn’t marry an Asian woman if he had any fidelity to maintaining Australia’s White majority.
Jordan clearly sees the world through the pragmatic lens of class conflict. He is too much of a realist to see any viability in overthrowing capitalism, so he believes the best we can rationally hope for is organised labour negotiating a good deal for the working class with the capitalist elite. What he doesn’t understand is those of us who identify as patriots instead of workers, as Australians instead of deracinated economic entities.
I’d much rather cut taxes on mining for Gina Rinehart in exchange for net negative immigration and free speech, than get reduced to a demographic minority and jailed for angrily posting about it on social media in exchange for subsidised solar panels and free TAFE.
And the fact that Labor retains far more billionaire donors than One Nation, and enjoys the overwhelming support of corporate Australia for its mass immigration program, is of course something Jordan will never acknowledge. Because a convergence of interests between Labor and the capitalist elite he will always excuse, while he disingenuously reduces anyone else with a billionaire donor to being a mere instrument of capital’s whims.
Immigration is not simply about economics though. If it was, then Labor wouldn’t be making it easier for Indians with third world educations than the millions of Brits who want to come here to immigrate to Australia. Kos Samaras wouldn’t be banging on about how the Indian vote will deliver Labor the victory over One Nation if Labor’s immigration policy was simply about addressing our perpetual “skills shortage”, that the immigrants are too unskilled to ever solve.
At the end of the day, if One Nation gets in power and rug pulls us on immigration, they will lose their voter base as rapidly as they gained it. Labor rug pulled us on immigration in 2022 and then nothing happened, because they are now the party of immigrants, not the party of workers. Their voters like mass immigration, because they largely are the mass immigration.
The One Nation shills on social media might be a pack of low IQ grifters who’ve never actually read a book in their lives, and they make easy beatdown material for the far more sophisticated and intelligent FriendlyJordies. But the brute reality of Australians wanting Australia to remain Australian means they’ll hold their nose and vote for Pauline, because a retard who defends your interests is preferable to a non-retard who pisses on you and tells you its raining.
Note: Since I wrote the above, Jordan has come out with his latest One Nation hit piece. Apparently his latest reason why you shouldn’t vote for One Nation is that they’re a bunch of alcoholic lackeys of the state of Israel. As if all sides of Australian politics haven’t been full of pissheads and Zionists since forever.
Jordan, incredibly, tried to claim that One Nation is “in the pocket” of the Jewish Lobby because it enjoys the support of the only pro-free speech Jewish organisation in Australia, an organisation which is currently being ostracised by the rest of the organised Jewish community for breaking their “longstanding boycott of One Nation”.
The ECAJ and their ilk hate One Nation, because One Nation supports free speech, and therefore won’t go along with the Liberal and Labor uniparty agenda to ban everyone they don’t like from participating in Australian democracy. These far more powerful Jewish lobbyists are behind the federal and state Labor governments that Jordan shills for, who have dutifully passed myriad laws designed to police their opposition out of the political process.
Pauline Hanson might not care about Palestine, but neither do most Australians. And yes, many Jews are making the rational decision to support the anti-Islam party, especially after a bunch of Islamists just massacred them on a beach. But unlike Labor, Pauline stands against the mainstream Jewish lobby’s Labor-funded and implemented anti-free speech multicultural police state agenda.
Meanwhile, Gina Rinehart’s ad hoc proposal to give Israel free land to build combat drones was never endorsed by anyone in One Nation, and was shot down by Senator Malcolm Roberts, who said neither Pauline nor the party shared Rinehart’s view.
Of course, Labor has many more billionaire donors than One Nation, including Zionist Jewish billionaires such as Anthony Pratt, Harry Triguboff and Frank Lowy. But you’ll never hear a peep out of FriendlyJordies about that.
