Australia is a Godless country, pls don't romanticise it.

[Anonymous No.19154342]

While you use your best endeavour to immortalise in verse
The gambling and the drink which are your country’s greatest curse,
While you glorify the bully and take the spieler’s part
You’re a clever southern writer, scarce inferior to Bret Harte.

If you sing of waving grasses when the plains are dry as bricks,
And discover shining rivers where there’s only mud and sticks;
If you picture `mighty forests’ where the mulga spoils the view
You’re superior to Kendall, and ahead of Gordon too.

If you swear there’s not a country like the land that gave you birth,
And its sons are just the noblest and most glorious chaps on earth;
If in every girl a Venus your poetic eye discerns,
You are gracefully referred to as the `young Australian Burns’.

But if you should find that bushmen spite of all the poets say
Are just common brother-sinners, and you’re quite as good as they
You’re a drunkard, and a liar, and a cynic, and a sneak,
Your grammar’s simply awful and your intellect is weak.

I hate this country and want to see it nuked into oblivion. It took everything great about it, then destroyed it and caressed evil in its place.

Whenever we have an aussie /lit/ thread everyone's near universally despairing the state of our country, I'm not sure what that says about us.

Jesus fucken Christ on a cross cunt stick learn how to fucken write. Aussies a dried up bitter cunt’ll leave you die on disso with a mouth full of rot while a Detective Senior Inspector burns your son and rapes your heroin daughter with a Prominent Sydney Racing Identity.

We’ll rack your rent and and tell you we’re egalitarian notice no Greek academics? We’re full sick cunts drop a doughie and no jobs for anyone except the cocksucker and the bosses son.

But sure if you’re white and a bush fires cummen I’ll fix your tyre.

Imagine being an antipodean writer like Katherine Mansfield, Patrick White, Elizabeth Jolley, or Gerald Murnane, who goes unread by the broader Anglosphere because of nothing more than the caprice of geography. And also unread by most Australian posters on /lit/ if these gay threads are any indication.

It's even worse than he said because I think those authors are the ones with some international recognition.

Almost like he doesn't think gay people are bad and is just using a generic negative word... like literally everyone who uses it... huh...
