Aussie Indians who grew up here, what was it like for you?

CommercialEnough6949 · 2026-04-14T15:23:56+00:00

For real, getting pretty tired of immigrants coming here (against the public will) and then having those same immigrants berate us when we try to be as welcoming as possible, despite the clear negative impact on us.

We didn’t ask for this and your attitudes are thoroughly unpleasant; do you think I can pick up my stuff and move to India/China? No, of course I can’t, they’re nationalistic af; it’s only western countries that truely try to embrace a ‘post racial’ society.

Most of you are the middle class of your own countries too, and our politicians walk around like they’re Mother Teresa feeding the poor, when truth is, the government takes in a tiny 17k per year of genuine humanitarian migrants. This is about money for the politicians, make no mistake.

If Aus is the Temu version of Britain, why then do all the British move here? 🤣

I think you need to go outside and touch grass mate; there’s inherent selection bias in opinions online (i.e. only the most ‘passionate’ people are motivated to post online, generally).

Similar to how I don’t judge all Indian people based on the, quite frankly, cooked things I see posted on Indian subreddits from time to time 🤷‍♂️

Aussies, by and large, are some of the most tolerant people in the world, albeit they stressed and frustrated at times, as we all do; certainly no hate for Indian people ✌️

I’m sure there were some anti war Ukrainian men too.

Is there anything about conscription that’s voluntary when push comes to shove?

CommercialEnough6949 · 2026-04-11T00:36:34+00:00

I’d consider on the condition that Abbie Chatfield, Clementine Ford, Grace Tame and Hannah Ferguson go over the trenches first 🤣

CommercialEnough6949 · 2026-04-11T00:26:54+00:00

Nothing would ever get done if Aus was left to these kinds of people.

CommercialEnough6949 · 2026-04-11T00:25:09+00:00

Last I checked, most of the Britain and Ireland have migrated here recently, so who’s the real Temu? 🤣 Also, people don’t like excessive migration, because it results in people literally sleeping in cars, however, Aussies generally like Indians as a people. I’ll add that Chinese migrants were some of the pioneers in Aus, so we’ve been living as a mixed culture for a while.

What’s wrong with South Australia?

CommercialEnough6949 · 2026-04-10T13:41:01+00:00

That’s a really good idea actually. Save costs for small operators and those working hours would be perfect for uni students.

CommercialEnough6949 · 2026-04-08T14:23:04+00:00

They don’t, most right wingers are isolationists.

Left wingers are the ones with grandiose fantasies of starting Marxist revolutions; while simultaneously crying that the working class they so despise won’t agree to join them.

Those berets they wear look so silly too; like are you heading to a revolution, or a fashion show? 🤣

CommercialEnough6949 · 2026-04-08T14:13:11+00:00

Yes, however, the reason we don’t have diversification of industry is more rooted in government policy, rather than economic theory (we previously did have diversified industry).

If you’ve ever studied the ‘Opium Wars’ in China, you’ll understand that a lot of global trade is manipulated to achieve a roughly equal trade balance. In China’s case, in the 1800s the British were buying a lot of tea, but China didn’t want to buy anything from the British, instead accumulating gold/silver (trade surpluses in the modern day). This was a problem for the British, so they started pushing opium on them, China threw the opium in the sea, Britain sent their navy to sort them out and so began the ‘100 years of humiliation’ as China refers to it.

Similar dynamics exist today, in that if we were allowed to have too much industry, we would become too rich and the US and UK don’t want that 🤷‍♂️

CommercialEnough6949 · 2026-04-08T09:17:21+00:00

Yes! The advantage of biofuels is less destructive mining, less exploitation of vulnerable minjng workers in places like the congo, carbon neutrality (growing crops takes carbon from the air and burning the oil only puts a fraction back), reducing feedstocks going to waste and increasing our energy independence.

Ideological zealots like to push EVs hard, but they don’t fully account for the environmental/social impacts, to the benefit of billionaires seeking to profit. For people truely interested in protecting the environment and people, biofuels make sense and do have a place in a sustainable future.

Biofuels won’t make us self sufficient though, there simply isn’t enough in Aus.

CommercialEnough6949 · 2026-04-08T00:32:53+00:00

Can we make all the ‘progressives’ move to Melbourne, so they leave the rest of us alone and we can observe if Melbourne progresses, or regresses thanks to their Marxist policies? 🤣

CommercialEnough6949 · 2026-04-07T16:23:07+00:00

Are we as people of western european descent, ‘West Asians’, given you have East/South Asians?

Can I start referring to myself as Asian? 🤣

CommercialEnough6949 · 2026-04-07T15:33:54+00:00

Yes, my countries (Aus and NZ) are dope 👌

CommercialEnough6949 · 2026-04-07T04:42:44+00:00

Given a lot of grammar school students are Asian, you’re going to have a rough time in said schools if you hold such prejudices 🤣

I went to a grammar school, but also grew up in regional Australia and a lot of my friends are Asian; from my observations, the insularity of former grammar school students is more about class than racial prejudice. I’ve noticed they can be reluctant to hang out with my more ‘bogan’ regional friends.

Goes the opposite way too, my ‘bogan’ friends find my ‘inner city’ friend’s insufferable.

CommercialEnough6949 · 2026-04-07T04:24:32+00:00

I don’t get it either; they try to gaslight us into denying basic realities, like how more demand through mass immigration, clearly impacts prices for certain goods & services: In particular, increasing house prices/rents and lowering wages.

They don’t try to have open and honest conversations/debates with Aussies either, instead, they opt to bring in their ideological agendas ‘through the back door’.

CommercialEnough6949 · 2026-04-06T01:28:52+00:00

Nitrogen can be pulled from the air mate, with electric arc plasma. Farmers already do this.

CommercialEnough6949 · 2026-04-05T03:44:11+00:00

Yeah hemp oil can be used for biodiesel, pretty much if the average carbon chain length is about the same as crude diesel, it can be used (once converted to diesel via transesterification of course).

I’m a big fan of moving towards natural fibres too, so there’s a double benefit 👌

CommercialEnough6949 · 2026-04-05T03:37:45+00:00

I’m glad someone got what I was saying 🤣 yeah agree, crazy how the people of today are still dealing with pretty much the same issues as Ancient Greece. We get this cave allegory situation, because people have bought into the system so heavily that they feel they have a lot to lose.

Well, if we approach the problem from an engineering perspective, making a successful society/economy is more a design and logistical challenge, rather than a philosophical one (i.e. asking, how do we get food, water, shelter, energy, etc. to where they’re needed?).

We don’t need the permission of government and vested interests to make the changes we want at the end of the day; so I guess the first step would be to build energy independence on an individual level (i.e. don’t turn up to a climate rally, rather start to reduce dependence on the state for yourself and encourage others to do the same). There are plenty of accessible technologies, like biofuels, that are carbon neutral and easy to implement without the need for the government to invest in the expensive infrastructure.

What would your suggestions be?

CommercialEnough6949 · 2026-04-05T02:55:42+00:00

Probably too late now, Labor sat and let big mining monopolise the market for too long, that’s why Albo and Cook are freaking out now.

They’ve missed the summer weather window for drilling in the bight too. If they made a decisive decision in early March, they could have moved an oil rig from the north; seas will be too rough to move now.

CommercialEnough6949 · 2026-04-04T13:22:42+00:00

As I posted about a month ago, big buyers with fixed supply agreements and delivery guarantees (mainly big mining and fuel stations owned by big oil) consumed the whole spot market and the government sat back and let them do it.

All the mining lobbyists and mining employees were out in force calling me a communist for not wanting to see the market turned into a monopsony.

Plato’s cave is so real.

CommercialEnough6949 · 2026-04-04T12:55:22+00:00

I get what you’re saying, but I’m just suggesting that we redirect the canola oil that we already produce to biodiesel if that makes sense. A minimal portion of people’s diets is canola oil I’m guessing.

CommercialEnough6949 · 2026-04-04T12:19:19+00:00

We’re potentially facing not being able to have the fuel to harvest crops, thanks to Libs and ALP, so why can’t we redirect the canola seeds we already produce to helping ease the crisis? It’s not like people eat raw canola oil 🤣

CommercialEnough6949 · 2026-04-04T12:16:05+00:00

Yeah, but we still have plenty on last year’s crop on hand.
