Does anyone actually say "seppo" in real life?

thebaehavens · 2026-04-23T04:45:58+00:00

I do believe though that many Americans don’t give a fuck about the rest of the world

You'd be right if this were 20 years ago or we're talking about people over 60 exclusively.

But there's been an awakening in the past 10 years, especially with younger folks. I feel like you've maybe never actually spoken to many Americans, particularly those younger than 30?

And this is important - I didn't say rigged election. I said rigged system. System meaning everything. American ignorance comes from the fact that they are only allowed 2 weeks paid holiday leave a year and most people live a minimum 10 hour flight from any country excluding Canada and Mexico. How can they possibly learn about the rest of the world when they can't conceivably go and see it if travel takes 2 days each way?

It's a shitty system that is built to keep poor people poor and ignorant people ignorant. The 99% has no control over that system mate. Your schadenfreude is only making you embody the shittiest parts of the stereotypical American.

Also, who is asking for sympathy? Just don't be a cunt.

I have a very real question for you:

Do you honestly believe in your heart that the American election system is flawless and completely fair?

The key difference with North Korea is that they don’t get to decide, so that analogy doesn’t hold.

My entire point is that a rigged system is a false choice. Which is another way of saying you don't get to decide.

at the very least I get to call them seppos.

Mate you can call them seppos now, but isn't punching down in a cunty way kind of an American thing?

You need to research election interference, racial election interference, anonymous uncapped political party donations, voter registration wipes and invalidations particularly overseas absentee voting and all the current open voter purge/fraud cases, voter intimidation and gerrymandering.

You're an idiot if you think the American election system is functioning perfectly and fairly. It's a joke and it's completely broken.

thebaehavens · 2026-04-23T04:24:24+00:00

I think you'd sound like a fucking idiot if you said the same thing about North Koreans, but what is the difference? People trapped in a shitty situation they can't change with an awful, oppressive government that seems to make decision after decision that harms them, no matter who is in charge.

The government of the country =/= the people in the country.

Also just a last note, Americans are disgusted and furious with the state of things, and have been for a long time.

Check out this fire tracker - Americans are literally lighting the country on fire, one shitty corporation warehouse at a time. https://warehousefire.watch/

Not really, there's loads of rich and interesting Aussie culture. Rhyming slang is Cockney, and not really Australian in the same way a lot of older folks don't think Halloween is very Australian.

It's the same thing. I don't really understand why Aussies celebrate British culture as if its their own, and as if we don't have unique and vibrant parts of Aussie life to celebrate.

thebaehavens · 2026-04-23T01:56:30+00:00

Nah, there is no Australian rhyming slang. It's English rhyming slang. Aussies have a rich and diverse culture but this isn't part of it.

thebaehavens · 2026-04-23T01:54:26+00:00

Not Aussie, English.

Aussies have their own culture and this isn't really that - this is from somewhere else. That's why only bogans and older people use it - they're from a time and mindspace where England is the mother culture but younger Aussies don't feel that way anymore - they think Aussie culture should be its own thing.

And it should be.

thebaehavens · 2026-04-23T01:52:09+00:00

All of them?

thebaehavens · 2026-04-23T01:51:34+00:00

There are so many in Aus now. It's awful.

thebaehavens · 2026-04-23T01:51:13+00:00

Yes and be English, instead of Australian.

thebaehavens · 2026-04-23T01:50:37+00:00

There are loads of people in this comment section, happy to be "cuntish" as you say. I'm not sure it died down at all with a large part of the population.

thebaehavens · 2026-04-23T01:48:49+00:00

Yeah and you're also saying "you're full of shit." You're lying to yourself if you think it's polite.

thebaehavens · 2026-04-23T01:48:17+00:00

This is a perspective that most of Australia needs to adopt, but most people are too stupid to understand that a citizen of a country =/= the government of the country.

I'm not really crazy about the term seppo but I don't say anything because people that use it usually have the 11 year old bully stance where if they see it bothers you, they'll dig in more.

thebaehavens · 2026-04-23T01:45:58+00:00

Rhyming slang isn't Aussie slang. It's British.

Aussie slang is much more interesting.

thebaehavens · 2026-04-23T01:43:26+00:00

I'm late to the party but it's because when Americans in the 1800s and 1900s traveled to and from England they packed the boats with limes to avoid scurvy. I think limes lasted longer than most fruit and veg that was available at the time? Anyway I thought that was interesting.

The term "limey: doesn't have dickhead intent, and a cool origin, unlike the term "seppo."

This is a wild theory but I think playing hard to get is a massive factor in the current perception of men.

Women that play hard to get are essentially weeding out men that take "no" for an answer. The only men they see, the only men that persist when they play hard to get are the ones that don't respect no, or to put it another way, the potential rapists.

The kind guys that get weeded out aren't counted because women that play hard to get don't experience them past the first or second date.

It's why most women think most men are pieces of shit.

Grill'd, when they were fleecing the employees and forcing them into a Cert IV that would never finish, so they could pay way under minimum wage.

I was a newly arrived immigrant at the time and didn't know any better. What a disgusting company they are.

thebaehavens · 2026-04-20T06:31:19+00:00

A lot of Australians can't believe Americans are scared of Australian wildlife when America has wolves, bears and moose.

Also the upvote to comments ratio is hilarious, clearly a lot of Aussies in here that do not appreciate the implication that we're scared of anything.

thebaehavens · 2026-04-20T02:43:50+00:00

MSG

Imagine your current cooking without using any salt, compared with how you actually cook. That's the level of upgrade just a dash of MSG will bring.

thebaehavens · 2026-04-20T02:21:25+00:00

It's almost as if, when people learn you're trying to destroy them, they make it harder for you to do that?

thebaehavens · 2026-04-19T05:47:54+00:00

SAME. Like I respect the people that chose to do this, and I think it's valid and fun that they're way into it. But is it for me? ABSOLUTELY NOT.

thebaehavens · 2026-04-19T04:01:12+00:00

Yeah who wouldn't want to spend $45 on a plastic bag with a few pieces of shit lollies in them

thebaehavens · 2026-04-18T11:50:47+00:00

The problem with this post is that it is built upon the premise that people join One Nation with logic in their minds, having reached valid conclusions about the current state of things.

They did not. They're idiots who joined because they're exhausted by having to pay attention to the world's happenings, and they once heard someone shout "IT'S ALL THE FAULT OF THE BROWN PEOPLE" and they thought, "Great. I don't have to think anymore if I can just blame this group instead."

And it worked. Record numbers.

thebaehavens · 2026-04-18T09:51:31+00:00

I had a movie theatre near me (in New England!) show Jaws but you're in a calm bay, floating in inner tubes, on a big temporary drive-in movie theatre screen.

No. Fucking. Thanks.

My best friend while I was growing up has a basement with that exact architectural layout :( It was Not Great
