Also, I forgot to mention: enforced “tall poppy” syndrome, which basically means…
“Conform, and keep your head down, or we’ll mock you mercilessly and attempt to ruin you.”
The exact opposite of the “entrepreneurial spirit” which theoretically America used to have…
In fact, it has far more in common with the Nordic “Jante laws” than anything our “fellow colonials” might employ… 😑
It’s very… Weird, when you think about it, but it’s also why many, many young Australians leave, move overseas, “make it”, in a more… Ambition-friendly environment (or burn out along the way, like me), make some money, perhaps meet a foreign partner (because Aussie women suck), and then, maybe later, but not always, move back to this dump and invest their hard-earned monies into our revolting property market, which ONLY EVER goes up, in the major cities… Meaning that the rest of us never even get to buy an apartment, let alone a house…
That enough of a blackpill for ya??
Australia is doomed, dude. 😕
Perhaps more so even than the US, or the UK, right now… 😑
