    You know, as an American, I’ve always felt like Australia was like even bigger Texas. Obviously, this isn’t based on any firsthand experience, just my perception based on media, stereotypes, and memes. Like I said, I’m American.

      Most of Texas is a conservative racist hellhole.

      AFAIK Australians are orders of magnitudes better.

        Compared to the US, probably, but in general Australia is a right wing conservative place, when compared to neighbours like NZ.

          Have you seen the Governembt NZ elected and what they’re doing to the Treaty ?

          While as an Aussie who mostly agrees Australia is a conservative ass backwards shit hole, it would appear NZ is now aspirationaly Australia.

          Having conservatism without the racism is like a pipe dream in the US
