I'm from the states and I'm not trying to be a dick but Australians think of their country as a player in the great games of statehood? Like... how? Is it because y'all speak English, too?

billytheid@aussie.zone 8 months agono, I’m talking about Australians and their culture. Australians acts like their state is a vital and respected world player, in reality it’s just cemented its place an arrogant and largely irrelevant post-colonial meme that will be completely subsumed by a more powerful Asian neighbour in the near future. The sad hilarity is that all we’re trying to save back home is petty white hubris.

Australians are profoundly simple. Go through this thread and take a look at all the nit-picking around our ‘totally not racist’ claims; it basically boils down to “we let wealthy people come here so we can racially vilify them for political expedience”.
more then 60% of the country just voted along purely racist lines. we are racist, very racist. people coming here should be forewarned.

I really liked Kath and Kim but are you telling me that their depiction of the average Australian is correct? yikes.

Australia is already subsumed by the United States.
