Hey comrades I wish I was more active on here. But sadly I haven’t. I hope you’re all well.
This post is to tell you all that Australia is basically a neo-colony to Amerikkka and I hate it. ALP fully supports AUKUS and i’m sure LNP does as well and I fucken hate it.
You see when the American colonies declared independence in 1776, Britain’s source of agricultural goods started to dry up. They needed a replacement colony because they were losing the American Revolutionary War hence the invasion of Australia started in 1788. Since slavery was abolished, they had to use prisoners as their cheap labour force.
Fellow Australian here. Australian politics is a shitshow. AUKUS is just the most visible (and expensive) cringe element at the moment.
I’ve seen memes about everything in Australia is upside-down/opposite compared to the rest of the world
is it worth moving to AUS from the UK, work fucking pays nothing here
I’ve been seeing recent events and stories about the UK collapsing under the current government there. I don’t know about you, but I doubt any of the parties in the UK will stop whatever is going on there. poverty is on the rise there supposedly. It could be worth moving to Australia. But honestly ALP isn’t doing too much. The housing market here is still very fucked.
I keep on hearing about how scary most of the animals are there, from various venoumous arthropods, the emus that took land back from colonizers, and kangaroos. Is animal control a respected position in society like a fireman?
Honestly it’s just a meme. We have deadly snakes and spiders but the death count each year is like single digits. They also just keep to themselves and will only attack if you’re a dickhead. Crocodile and shark attacks too are rare. Kangaroos will only fight you if you walk up to one swinging.
Most fear of Australian animals comes from residents of NA but I’d rather my Aussie creatures than the NA bears, wild cats, wolves, moose (meese?) Etc.
