[Tweet] "Another part of Australian culture that Americans don't understand, is that we don't fear our government." Claire Lehmann, founding editor of Quillette (archive.md)

Pretty sure it's the exact opposite. The land that doesn't fear their government is the one that gives it guff and resistance, that questions its choices and inspects its sources.

Australia is terrified of their government. They don't dare make a peep out of line. Let alone out of line, they don't dare make a peep even in-line.

Asking for sources, checking those sources, and bringing up in public if those sources have questionable elements isn't fear, Lehmann. It's an expectation of honesty and respect. NOT asking, NOT checking, NOT bringing anything in public, NOT investigating, NOT watching over their actions, that's the sign of a beaten dog, not a brave and fearless culture. Australians are cowards and fearful yes-wymxn.

"Yes sir, whatever you say sir, don't let it be me next sir." isn't brave, sniveling worm.
