Australia, a prison state created for inmates, and perpetuated as such by their descendants. As a foreigner looking in, I think that Aussies would be best served by ditching the colonial prison mindset. You and the kids are allowed to have fun, if you ignore the specter of the Crown that created your nation.

Does "people who live in glass houses shouldnt throw stones" translate into American? Half of the rest of the world wakes up every day wondering if your leader has started WW3 over a twitter beef.

But no, you have fun.

Just because America is in a crappy state, is no excuse for Australians or anyone else on a given patch of dirt to allow their nation be enshittified. You should consider America as a warning, of what can happen if your politics become rotten.

The sheer ego in that statement.

Even Americans who are wholeheartedly opposed to whats happening cant stop condescending to everyone else like "If it could happen to the greatest nation on earth it could happen to you"

We know, we have always known. We're no better than the Germans, the Italians or any other nation that slid into authoritarianism or facism. America believed it couldnt happen to them because they are just so exceptional, which is why it worked so god damn well.

I recently left an Aussie company whose shot caller was someone who was massively in favour of the social media ban and kept close tabs on her teenage kids’ phones. Ran the company like that, and it’s going under.
