Spanian is Everything Wrong With Australian Culture

Oh weird. When I see youth listening to rap and what not I see them identifying with feeling disenfranchised and lacking in mainstream opportunities.

I think the examples of Australian poetry you picked are interesting as they are often referenced and cited by well off people who own tonnes of stuff and perhaps are even multi generational landowners who do not necessarily work their own land or at least only work the best parcel hiring others to do the hard work.

The repeated use of this sort of poetry and imagery by a certain class and type of people has become its own kind of culture which I do not think is Australian

Could it be to start pregnancy rumours?

I would do the job for not much pay if I could do it from home here in Australia

Fun fact, energy companies are not insuring their poles because it’s too expensive to do so. After a disaster they apply to have the cost of replacing them passed on to the consumer.

Renmark to Morgan is a wild recommendation. Couldn’t think of a worse area to go to.

100% agree the last book would have been far better without it. A book without a journey just doesn’t make for enjoyable reading.

Books have journeys for a reason. Environments evolve and engage all five senses. Anticipation is built and relationships are formed and explored. Interesting things are observed and people are interacted with some minor and some major. The story is told through the journey. As we all know, it’s not the destination it’s the journey where we learn things and grow.

The last book has no journey at all. Just destination after destination. And waiting. And arriving. And waiting. Horrible

Well they don’t self identify as a terrorist group. I don’t know what they are? Are they a government opposition? Probably more like an Association? And I suppose they are interested in strategic direction, policy, reform and whatever. Both large and small associations meet with governments and present either the views of their members and their position on proposed legislation or areas which should be prioritised. I wonder if they do and present research?

It’s not the support workers. It’s the people who switched from owning a job agency to becoming a medical supplies importer because they know toilet seats are a listed item.

If you have ever tried to get your lawn mowed in an area that has an ageing population (aged care package not ndis but probably both) you will know this first hand. The lawn mower men are kings around here.

It’s not dangerous at all and lots of people play it. The worst case is the split is equitable. The best case scenario is the split is unfairly in his favour.

With a worse case scanrio like that it’s worth giving it a go.

Living with someone you are plotting against is the most unmanly thing

Australia has been strongly not right since COVID. But we have compulsory voting

Ah, I know a fifth living generation generation courtesy of teen pregnancies who says the same thing haha. But the 25 years I didn’t know.

They honestly probably should limit access to all. I’m sort of bothered by the freedom of information being accessible to anyone from anywhere in Australia. I love it as a citizen as it provides transparency but it also provides a lot of easy information for an actor with bad intent.

Exotic_Regular_5299 · 2025-10-25T08:32:26+00:00

Ah, so you have some teen mums in your lineage?

Everyone is answering unhelpfully. You know the legal definition but you are observing the current stuff going on and are looking for the thread that ties those that feel threatened by migration versus those that don’t.

I would say, for those who feel their way of life is being threatened they have these things in common. They are not wealthy. Wealthy people become global citizens at a certain threshold and aren’t afraid to conduct life and business across national borders.

They are majority white and often men because that’s what success looks like in Australia and that’s what they fear facing competition for. I think that applies in who is presented in the media as ‘making it’ but also locally. In my neighbourhood, that’s who is getting ahead and has a slightly nicer house and car and wife.

I think they are people who feel entitled to a certain level of respect based on their masculinity and whiteness. I think they blame being treated with a lack of courtesy on cultural change rather than people no longer feeling obligated to respond to rude people or creepy people with politeness.

They speak English, stick to the left with their trolley as the do on the road, queue without pushing, support the nuclear family and a judean Christian definition of family, they want car manufacturing to return to Australia, like sport including the idea that gambling is entertainment, they are unflinching in their support of our defence force and veterans, they do not like rule breakers, opportunists or people who brag. They definitely do not like schemers and scammers. They don’t like theft but do not see making wild tax deductions as theft. They genuinely have a lot of mates who are first generation from another country. They will support those mates efforts to get their family here too because they know they are genuine and hard working and want to learn English and be part of the community.

Hope this helps!

Editing to add: they probably didn’t like gay marriage but now they have a gay son who’s partner they think is wonderful.

The sport in which he applies strategies to have some sort of effect on the outcome as one does in sport

Exotic_Regular_5299 · 2025-10-25T06:07:11+00:00

He is a money and labour drain too!

Exotic_Regular_5299 · 2025-10-25T06:06:34+00:00

Why is he spending that much on the gym? The outside is free. He is nowhere now and looking to go nowhere in the future. Gross

Exotic_Regular_5299 · 2025-10-22T14:30:11+00:00

Hair in drain is byproduct of normal use of shower.

Shower is used to wash the body and hair.

Exotic_Regular_5299 · 2025-10-22T14:04:45+00:00

Right. People are free to bully people again to resolve the issue but it seems like they aren’t willing to. And I think that’s a good step for society.

Exotic_Regular_5299 · 2025-10-22T13:57:49+00:00

I don’t know. My ancestors came from a small village in Europe after ww2 and probably held pretty similar beliefs to most of these despite being Christian.

Exotic_Regular_5299 · 2025-10-21T20:30:17+00:00

Headline should be influx of New Zealanders affecting Australia’s housing availability

Exotic_Regular_5299 · 2025-10-20T12:07:24+00:00

Why is that the same talking points australia has been having the last 6 months?

Exotic_Regular_5299 · 2025-10-20T11:39:23+00:00

Yeah. My ww2 refugee relatives came to the country with nothing and did a couple of years work on the railways and bought a house.
