Isn't Australian society very similar to American conservative crap?
Yes, alas pretty much
They are. In fact, we can thank America's largest spewer of hate (fox) on one of their homegrown assholes, Rupert Murdoch.
Hey now, he might have been born here, but he's not our arsehole. And he hasn't been for 40 years.
He doesn't even have Australian citizenship, does he?
Yeah exactly. He chose to get rid of it 40 years ago this year.
Only because he forfeited it.
I mean yeah, that's what I was getting at. He can't even live here, he's not our problem anymore.
Not nearly to the same extent as America, but in general, yes. Same direction, just less extreme.
We also voted against the Trump crap last election, I'd imagine if America had preferential and mandatory voting they would have too
No, Australia is already outright owned by plutocratic mining corperations. In the US they have to go through all the lobbying and buying millions of trumpcoin.
Riiiight, Australia is the one that's outright owned by lobbyists, and America is a bastion of free speech. Yeah, alright mate.
Unlike the MAGA movement, most of Australia's right wing are neither Vatnik, nor Fascist. I mean, there are those as well, like Clive Palmer, but he is a spam pest and a joke - most people think he is ridiculous. So no.
No.
