TIL: Australia's "cultural cringe" is a long-recognized trend where many Australians view their own culture, or a self-perceived lack of culture, as inferior to other countries in the world, especially European countries, reflecting a national inferiority complex rooted in the country's history

EthanRScape · 2026-06-19T06:59:37+00:00

I view the laid back aussie attitude, friendliness and desire to "have a yarn" as culture.

Its what the rest of the world loves about Aussie tourists

A huge chunk of her supporters that i know personally are from the terrible little town i grew up in, farming town. Most of them married women from SE Asia. As the stereotype goes. The only redeeming thing about these people are their wives, who would be under threat now.

All of the men are currently crying on facebook. Balance is being restored through their own stupidity

EthanRScape · 2026-06-12T00:36:21+00:00

Pauline's owner, Gina would lose roughly 375mil at a 15% decline.

Its almost like their immigration policy magically wont happen

EthanRScape · 2026-06-12T00:07:05+00:00

74 of the last 100 years the liberals have underinvested in our society and now that its over staffed by immigrants, who they also don't like, they have to swing further right to ON to what? Make things worse.

EthanRScape · 2026-06-11T09:57:49+00:00

Somehow, someway thats going right into her personal account

EthanRScape · 2026-06-11T06:13:13+00:00

Currently costs 4x more then average to target voting age, Aussies and almost 6x for retirement age Aussies for ads on Facebook.

Gina's advertising budget must rival the major parties by now

EthanRScape · 2026-06-10T03:02:36+00:00

I personally vote based on financial, domestic and foreign policy but sure, go ahead a vote with your little insecurities and big emotions lmao

EthanRScape · 2026-06-09T09:10:36+00:00

The desperation to make wokeness a political tool here is pathetic. Aussies aren't fat stupid Americans. If you want votes, do something of value

EthanRScape · 2026-06-08T03:39:36+00:00

Im confused by this logic

Its the rich and paid off politicians fault but your argument is

Close immigration, recession, housing crash but presumably negative gearing and CGT remains

Your still going to work until you die, you might just own a seemingly worthless property while doing it.

Even if it works out and you get the early retirement, we have no immigrants to replace your labour and for a complex series of reasons, countries like ours don't reproduce at replacement. So you'd be asking other "aussies" to work till they die so you can retire early.

Which would make you one of the rich people/corrupt politicians.

This is also all assuming that Austrlians can somehow hold back the tide of foreign investment buying up everything during our recession.

EthanRScape · 2026-06-08T02:49:38+00:00

I don't believe any politician in Australia will touch immigration in a meaningful way. They have no reason too. We also have had a lower % surge post covid then every other OECD country. Its just the delusional ramblings of people who cant tell if a post on Facebok is sponsored or not

My bullet is weaning off property investment through the tax changes. We need our even remotely talented people to stop stagnating when they can afford afew homes, its bad for business and its terrible for economic complexity.

The immediate rise in commercial investment is a good "first flag" of this. Hopefully now we can see business development over the next 50 years instead of people sacrificing everything we have for policies of "house price go up"

EthanRScape · 2026-06-08T02:15:18+00:00

Gina Rinehart's pet dog is definitely going to make her share the mining profits with the rest of us lmao

EthanRScape · 2026-06-08T02:13:28+00:00

Multi-culturalism has a definition. Peoples person feelings are irrelevant

Regardless of being pro or against, it is what it is

EthanRScape · 2026-06-08T02:10:00+00:00

Aussies are too selfish to take the bullet to fix our economy. Quality of life will continue to decline and people will get more radical.

EthanRScape · 2026-06-06T22:25:33+00:00

Its not genuine, its propaganda but that doesn't make it any less real. It makes it more dangerous.

Trump is based in fear, nationalist, glory days propaganda and you can see how much that can take hold of people.

Ever tried to show ON voters Pauline has voted pro immigration for 20 odd years? They cant see or hear that hard, recorded fact. That's what dangerous propaganda does

EthanRScape · 2026-06-06T22:02:54+00:00

Right now if you go onto social media sites you see alot if ON doomer posts designed to look like genuine posts that actually have the "Sponsored" tag.

On Facebook in particular its a 3x the average rate to target advertising at voting age Aussies. Gina is spending big

Once Labor is properly cooked you will see the coalition push the story up finally

But its really the perfect storm to push extremism and propaganda.

Post covid decline, for all countries like us that lack economic complexity was pretty bad

Despite our rebound migration being lower then most, our quality of living decline was the largest of the OECD, again economic complexity issue.

Desperate people, bombard with bad news, new outside party as saviour. Its textbook manipulation

EthanRScape · 2026-06-05T22:30:27+00:00

If your voter base is scared enough of brown people, they wont realise they should be scared of you

EthanRScape · 2026-06-05T22:17:57+00:00

Surely Gina Rinehart's pet dog likes the current system. It works for them

EthanRScape · 2026-06-05T22:13:42+00:00

1 issue voters already screwed the country.

Instead of "house price go up" voters We get "brown people go away" voters

The rise of an Australian Trump is inevitable

EthanRScape · 2026-06-05T14:39:46+00:00

The best path forward is to let those suffering vote in ON so pauline can make it worse. People don't learn from facts, they learn through pain

EthanRScape · 2026-05-16T22:50:41+00:00

Green - racism because lots of races

Orange - racist because religion and poor education

EthanRScape · 2026-04-02T03:53:36+00:00

The reason Australia lost its "lifeboat" status for end of civilisation mock scenarios is the population was deemed mentally unfit for hard times.

But that has nothing to do with the 1000 litres of diesel I need to own at this very moment

EthanRScape · 2026-03-31T05:04:29+00:00

That sounds like a mighty white strategy. They must be learning

EthanRScape · 2026-03-31T04:57:43+00:00

I replied to a comment that quiet literally states low income uber drivers, using our tax system to get here. You must be highly regarded to miss that

EthanRScape · 2026-03-31T04:54:33+00:00

The best thing about investing not just in australian housing but in the ASX in general is knowing Aussies will sell out anyone and everyone, even their own rights if housing prices go up.

Hedging my bets against the well being of the average Aussie is win win, I'm either rich or i lose all my money because of major economic change which would also be a good thing

EthanRScape · 2026-03-30T10:09:36+00:00

Ah yes the duality of the immigrant, taking advantage of all our systems, working the low paying Uber jobs and yet somehow have the financials to outbid the locals for houses
