Why Are Aussies So Hated?

Apart from the white supremacy, wholesale environmental destruction, widespread apathy, corporate laziness, idiotic parochial governance and deeply entrenched sense of white entitlement.

All available in similar or higher doses in every other western country.

I mean, come on now: Brexit, Trump, Twitter->X, fracking, shit in the rivers and how many countries have far right wankers in or close to power now?

The only difference is the racism here is mumbly mumbly save for a couple of EDL marches but look at the crazy shit that child minder was happy to throw up on her Facebook during the recent checks notes fucking race riots!

Populist/right wing governments have their day but almost always fail unless they manage to make the transition to authoritarian/dictatorship to really secure their tenure.

Look at Poland and PIS followed by Tusk, but then you have Italy and Hungary.
Thankfully we have got rid of ours for a bit.

I guess. But the cycle of it is still scary. Trump running again ffs.

I think the difference is life is so easy here compared to everywhere else*. Aussies haven't got a fucking clue how lucky they are.

*Unless you're indig, obvs.

My fave... [Aussie flag] Fit in or fuck off

I really need to remix that with an indig flag.

You live in QLD though, right? That's basically Aussie Kentucky.

Mississippi more like, yeah, point taken. First time I drove through Morayfield I thought I was driving through Clarksdale, MS; Big box stores, fast food signs everywhere, three lanes of traffic in each direction.

The arse end of Deception Bay near me is pure Mississippi back country, I love it. Shame the suburban sprawl is going out that way, lots of subdivisions springing up all over. The country gets pretty wild up here, it's beautiful, man. And full of meathead rednecks who will kill you if you pick Holden instead of Ford, or vice versa

That does sound a bit like where I grew up (I mean, you'd never get killed for liking a Ford, but you might get some shit about it).

But remember, we don't have football teams to kill each other over so we had to pick something. :D

I've never been riding in Oz and had someone unloading automatic weapons or shooting into the ground in a layby or threatening me with "I'm a hunter you know" because some other cyclist had thrown or squirted a bottle at them before.

People suck. Australia can be nice and it can be shit. Same as this shithole :)

Haha. Reminds me of when I was boring my mechanic mate about buying an imported Subaru, I was getting quite anxious about the whole thing.

"Get a Ford Falcon, you fucking poof!"

FYI He is the gayest man I know. Gay, disabled, mechanic, guitarist, singer, bonviveur, raconteur and freemason. I don't know how he fits it all in. Fnar.

Possibly my favourite Australian. He is why Aussies can still be awesome.

Definitely get a Commodore. ;)

Actually, I used to watch Bathurst. I fucking loved it when the Nissan Skylines came over and trounced all the local cars. Then they banned them. Haha :D

Godzilla!!

Yep!

I almost bought one when I was working in Melbourne. Tested some out but realised they're way to fucking small for sprinter thighs.

My American cousins refer to Ford as ‘Found on road - dead’

Fixed Or Repaired Daily

Don't get a Just Empty Every Pocket.

Biiiiiig money now.

Yeah, coz most of them were destroyed by people like me back in the day :)

My brother had one. He was mocked relentlessly for it.

But there are large areas of the island where no knows (well the immigrants) what is there.

We have better maps of the moon.

I can tell you what's there. Sand and flies.

And a metric fuck tonne of very small very poisonous things.
