Australia feels so much better than the U.S. I like being here. It’s still neolib af don’t get me wrong, but on a personal level I feel much safer here than when I’m back home in the U.S.
My little sister is in Straya for school, and yalls’ minimum wage and wages in general pay better than here. Now, housing and prices are fucked but they got fucked up where I live and there’s been no concomittant increases in wages.
To be fair a lot of white people in Australia absolutely abhor the yanks, culturally at least. And not just “haha weak beer and worse version of football”.
Any time a business tries to introduce tipping and the local Facebook page erupts in Anti American Aktion. They’ll fall for similar Murdoch pushed myths, they’ll even believe Qanon/Qanon adjacent conspiracy theories, but my god olmate down at the pub will body shame the penis size of someone he sees driving a Ford 150 Yank Tank at the pub to his mates.
One of the regulars at the pub I worked before I moved back to China was having a rant about how the US better not drag Australia into yet another war in Ukraine or the Middle East.
There’s a real unique love-hate relationship with the Yanks
Yeah. I get that feeling too. Like in ten years something it’ll just be just as bad. I’ve noticed white Australians are way more racist than I expected.

Fair enough. That’s valid.
I just see how unique this country is and hate how much the white ppl here want to bulldoze over every Koala and turn us into the US

In the eastern states the further north you go, the more racist they are. Plus in Perth it’s full of white flight South Africans.
