Compliance is a short-term fucking game. You will be rewarded for your compliance in the short run, but in the long run the authorities or the people in power look at a compliant population with absolute fucking contempt and disdain.
Ever felt like the rules are just a bit too much? In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', comedian David Boyle doesn't hold back. He dives headfirst into his frustrations with the Australian government's policies and the public's willingness to comply. From getting fined for using his phone while driving to the exorbitant cost of cigarettes, Boyle's got a lot to say about how things are run Down Under.
He argues that Australians need to wake up and start questioning these rules instead of blindly following them. Boyle believes that compliance is a short-term game and that the authorities view a compliant population with disdain. But it’s not just about fines and taxes. He also touches on how night curfews have sucked the life out of Sydney's once-vibrant nightlife, turning it into a bland, cookie-cutter version of its former self.
Boyle encourages listeners to take action, challenge these policies, and not just sit back and accept them. With his usual mix of humor and raw honesty, this episode is a call to arms for anyone tired of feeling like they're just another cog in the machine.
