You are most welcome. Spread the word, and here's another one for ya, if you'd like some more

Australia doesn't exist. They took the prisoners to the middle of the ocean and killed them. If you think you live in Australia you actually live on the coast of Africa.

You are basically the British. Unlike Amerimutts. Also, is there anything more to a Australia than Tame Impala and The Vines? What even is going on there?

>I've driven from Brisbane to Perth
I drove from Darwin to Sydney once. It was fucked. A roadtrain kicked up some gravel and cracked the windshield on the first day. No repair shops in the middle of nowhere so I had to drive with a huge crack directly in the centre of my vision for the next 3 days.

First act of parliament was White Australia Policy. Literally the first expression of Australia as a sovereign nation and people was to tell chinks etc to fuck off. When you boil Australian-ness down to corporate consumables like vegemite, universal feelgoodisms like "mateship" and archaic slang no wonder there isn't a good base for a literary culture

Mate you don't live in Australia so don't pretend to understand what goes on here.
I've never met any of those three above who identify as Australian even if they've been here for 3+ generations.
It's always 'I'm Italian', 'I'm Greek' or 'I'm Croatian' even when their parents and grandparents were born in Australia. It's pathetic but makes logical sense because urban suburbs are largely segregated by race/ethnicity due to the government policy of 'multiculturalism', which is an excuse to push for more immigrants and a refusal to assimilate any them.
Don't even need to mention Chinese, most of them that are born here don't even speak English as the native language.
Only Anglos and Irish truly identify as Australian and even then there is still a lot of attachment to the homeland.
You foreign cunts need to fuck off with your gay little homo comments about """racism""" and at least try to maintain a semblance of objectivity.

If you're a Murnane fan you should check out The Town by Shaun Prescott. It's a debut novel and needs a bit of polish but does a great job of echoing Murnane's style in a somewhat more accessible, often humorous way.

>>12418374
They don't call themselves Australian because they would mean identifying themselves with people like you

Give me one good reason why I should disown my parents heritage and put myself in the same class as the knock kneed cock eyed southern cross faggot trying to tell people that look like me I'm not Australian in the first place?

>>12417279
>on the same level as Europe roughly 2000 years in the past

Not even close.

>>12418374
>>12418517
It's simple.
I'm an Australian of non-British descent. Amongst Aussies, I am differentiated by my non-Euro heritage, so it becomes a more salient aspect of my identity. They might see me as non-Australian because my Australian-ness is drowned in a sea of other people's Australian-ness.
Overseas? I'm Aussie as fuck and it shows whenever I interact with anyone else, even if they're of my own ethnic heritage. I love this country and have no doubts over where my allegiance and identity is placed. I barely know my parent's own language and don't care to pass it on to my children. They'll have nothing to be other than Australian, and that's what's going to happen to all immigrants, whether it takes a generation or two. I'm seeing it happen.
Emily Rodda is the greatest Australian author, by the way.

We have great kids lit, which is all you can expect from an infant nation.

From what I've observed, the only legitimately Australian identity we have is our ties to the land, which is basically stewarded by indigenous culture. Even Anglos that don't give a fuck about the country and just wanna do burnouts in their V8s and get smashed on Australia Day come across as foreigners in their own land. Our sun literally tries to kill us with skin cancer that's how unaccustomed we are to our environment.

The only way we'll be anything more than glorified colonials is if we recognise that the source of spirituality and identity comes from submitting ourselves to this haunting land of ours. Of course, we could also just continue to be a confused hodgepodge of self-loathing Brits mixed with urbanite ethnics turning to either vain nationalism or vain consumerism for purpose, but then we'd be shooting ourselves in the foot.

>>12418821
Australians, for whatever reason, feel the need to play up every single Australian stereotype whenever they're online and have the ability to identify themselves as Australian. Every single person in this thread posting Australian slang and spouting "cunt" over and over will make perfectly normal, indistinguishable posts in every other thread they're in. The moment a thread like this appears, they will suddenly change and start talking like a tradie from North Queensland. I guarantee they NEVER will use that language in every day life either. It's honestly just pathetic.

I love this country, I love our culture and I love the people here. The way people behave online makes me question all that though.

>>12418484
because you should reject the culture you're parents fled for supposedly something better. unless you're just some chink who's parents bought a bunch of land then fuck you

>>12423024
Eh, the playing up stereotypes thing is annoying but people from every culture do that as a way of distinguishing themselves, especially when there isn’t something obvious like a different language or physical appearance. Bear in mind that people from non-anglophone countries also make indistinguishable posts most of the time, except for the occasional spelling or grammar whoopsie.

An interesting example of the whole playing up stereotypes thing is Chinese people from Cantonese-speaking areas vs mainland mandarin speakers. Cantonese people fucking HATE Chinese and will play up the stereotypical differences - such as that mainlanders are dirty, uncouth, loud, abrupt, rude, uncultured... and cantonese are refined, tidy, elegant, educated, ‘british’ etc. Even Cantons who come to Australia will (if they think you’re safe to talk to about ‘racist’ stuff) tell you all about how awful it is being in inner-city Melbourne or whatever and being surrounded by filthy borderline retarded international students from the mainland. Was pretty surprising to hear the first time someone told me, happened after i asked an accountant from Hong Kong what it was like seeing all the Chinese shop signs in the city.

And i’m not sure you’re right about how Australians speak IRL. I use... i guess you could call it international English when i’m typing online but tend to use a lot of ‘aussie’ English IRL, to the point I have to watch myself a bit with clients at work. Typing out slang words or fudging grammar in text just feels fucking retarded for some reason, I can’t explain it. I am from North Queensland though so maybe it’s because I’ve grown up around people who talk like that.

I do agree with you actually. When I'm talking to people, I'll use a decent amount of slang and I won't use proper grammar. If people exclusively used that same style online then I wouldn't have a problem with it. It just seems so contrived when Australians on 4chan ONLY start talking like that when they have an opportunity to identify themselves as Australian though. They deliberately make a shift and often do it to such an extent that I genuinely doubt they'll use half the words in real life. Cobber is a big one there. I've never heard a single person under 80 say cobber, but it's not uncommon to see it in threads like these or in >>12423021

You don't see kiwis writing like "aw chur bro sweet is hey" on 4chan and I see no reason for us to do the same.

>>12423360
Aus/pol/ is the worst I've seen for what you're talking about, but those threads are filled with guys who have pretty sad lives. NEETs, doomer students, guys who lost their jobs, divorcees... a lot of them probably find pride in their AUSSIE identity because they don't have much else.

anyway, the comfy irrelevance of Australia is what's great about it. The lack of literature means there's a lot of unexplored territory and no burden of heritage. I think people who bemoan the mundane and ordinary should be careful what they wish for. The same goes for within australia itself: living in Melbourne and Sydney looks unbearable to me no matter the wanking about the """vibrant food scene""" and the artisanal coffee boutiques

I just wish our politicians would stop selling away our rights in every moral panic. No freedom to roam despite being a fuckhuge empty country, alcohol is taxed to shit, literally no official freedom of speech, cant even defend myself with a knife, and now this retarded encryption law

We were targeted early and aggressively by international Jews. We have huge amounts of natural resources (including a significant portion of the planet’s gold) and were - prior to subversion - >99% white. We were developing our own culture as the country grew, and it would have continued to mature and develop. Unfortunately it was deliberately erased and replaced with globohomo consumerism and multicult ethnic cuisine and mosques.
The same people are responsible for taking away our guns, banning freedom of speech and self defence, undermining internet security, taxing everything and locking people out of every bar at 1am except the ((casinos)).

This is pretty much the mentality of non-whites in this country.
We'll see how the country turns out when it's majority asian or majority arab.

Yeah I bet you do, chong. I'm sure Australia is infinitely better than the third world commie country you came from (you can thank the European settlers and my ancestors for that, mate).
>Nobody complains about this country like the insecure white faggots
Yeah because while the country is good for illiterate peasant muslims and billionaire Chinese, Australian natives are worse off due to the immigration and hence people complain that the country has changed and is not what it used to be anymore.
There is a reason that 70% of Australians want a complete stop to all immigration.
>Asians are the new elite
Heh ... yeah. I'll just say enjoy it while you can and siphon as much money from our property market as you can while you still have time.
Once Aussies realise they are being out-competed by foreigners in their OWN country and realise that they can't even afford a house because the politicians have been bought and sold by the Chinese, they are not going to be happy and they are going to be looking at this so-called 'elite' as the ones responsible.

Population growth has always been one of the key geopolitical tools nations have used to stave off potential foreign threats. More people = bigger economy, more guns, more soldiers, etc. At the time in the 50s and 60s, fears of communism were very real, and with Australia being only a stone's throw away from Malaysia / Vietnam / China with their fuckhuge populations and communist agitation, there was a lot of political motivation behind getting in as many people here ASAP

Honestly as en environmentalist and something of an anarchist I don't agree with these decisions, but I understand why they were made.

Would it change your mind if you knew my personal life was in perfect order? I’d guess not, then you’d go back to some other thought-stopping cliche like telling me i’m a racist redneck and Chinese are the real aussies or something.

Why wouldn't someone who was raised in Australia and behaves like an Australian be considered Australian? Australia was never an ethnostate you know. This is American "white race" tier revisionism. Kys.

>>12424143
Look, I actually agree with you those are big problems, but the cause of them isn't Jews, it's just the reality of living in the world we do. I know it can be tempting to try and find a "singe cause" for why the world is so shit, but unfortunately there isn't one. All we can do is do the best with what we have and be grateful we have it in the first place desu

You really don't understand basic economics do you? Without immigrants, the Australian economy collapses.

Without immigrants, Australia was a heavily underpopulated country in the middle of a very dangerous part of the world that could easily be invaded and subjugated. To quote Arthur Calwell (immediately following the war and before the jewish influence your image attempts to pin on our immigration laws), Australia had to "populate or perish".

Yes to all 3. Also

>>12424323
I actually do think we should be more restrictive with our migrant intake

>>12424342
Then I’m surprised you aren’t clearer on the problems they cause. Wage suppression and housing costs are a massive problem everywhere in the western world because of high immigration.
In a similar ironic twist, women’s liberation caused waged suppression - although the workforce was effectively doubled, the demand for workers wasn’t. So we ended up in the current state where running a modern household requires 2 full-time workers instead of 1.

>Wage suppression and housing costs are a massive problem everywhere in the western world because of high immigration.
Yes, and this is by design, it's better for the captains of industry to have an expendable, low-cost workforce than a limited workforce that actually requires long-term investment. So long as economic growth is the driving force of our civilisation, this will never not be the case.

Is capitalism anti-natalist because natality cuts down on the size of the workforce (due to mothers taking time off to raise kids)?

The missing piece in this explanation is the modern obsession with refugees. It’s literally the most sacred of cows for the neoliberal elites in charge; Emmanuel Macron has gradually extended the list of topics he’s willing to ‘discuss’ with the yellow vests. He’s even willing to talk about reducing skills-based immigration of workers. The only thing that’s off the table now? France’s unsustainably high refugee intake. Ask yourself: why the fuck would a soulless lizardman investment banker like Macron have any interest in helping a bunch of IQ 70 rape-happy welfare parasites? They don’t work, they don’t integrate, commit violent crimes at 10x the rate of whites and just generally act as an opposing force to the infinite economic growth model of society. A genuine concern for refugees also doesn’t make any sense at all - It’s physically impossible to just resettle and pay for every citizen of every conflict-riven shithole that wants to leave. Charity dollars are far more efficient elsewhere.

The only plausible answer (besides Macron having a serious BBC cuck-fetish problem) is that the actions and behaviours of African and Middle Eastern refugees are considered desirable to Macron and his elite ilk. They WANT rapists. They WANT welfare parasites. They WANT millions of low-IQ black babies being born into the welfare cycle. They WANT native French to live in fear and be randomly beaten to death for their wallet while walking to the store in a once-peaceful village. Why? Well, I’ll leave that as an exercise for the reader.

To bring this in an interesting twist back to /lit/, Aristotle wrote about this in his 'Politics' over 2000 years ago.
"The very best thing of all would be that the husbandmen should be slaves, not all of the same race and not spirited, for if they have no spirit they will be better suited for their work, and there will be no danger of their making a revolution"
One thing that has relentlessly come of mass migration (and especially in France) is terrorism.
What comes necessarily as a result of terrorism? Expansion of state surveillance of the population and an expansion of the police state.
Terrorism has led to a massive expansion of the state apparatus and justified government pervasiveness in many aspects of life. Was this an accident or did terrorism just so happen to positively affect the government and allow them to expand their power? What do you think?
