      All the fun wacky parts, but without most of the cruel authoritarian shit. Except for being racist towards black people.

        From what I’ve read, it’s already moving that way.

          Well aware. Spent a bunch of time over there and my wife lived and worked in Victoria not too long ago.

          Still, when it comes to public policy around health care, woman’s rights over their body’s, access to weapons, the transition to renewable energy, etc, they make the US look like Max Max Fury Road.

            Technically abortion isn’t actually legal in Australia. Technically. And in some places nearly impossible without driving a real long way.

              To be fair, lots of stuff is nearly impossible without driving a long way in Australia. That’s just Australia.

        99% sure the only reason we rarely hear about Australian racism is because of how successful they’ve been in segregating natives from colonizers.
