      Australian “I got mine” mentality at its finest. Too much lead poisoning (my leading hypothesis. You don’t elect someone like Pauline Hanson unless there is something seriously wrong) to realise it’s a race to the bottom. When enough people do something at the expense of others, what a surprise when others also do it at the expense of you, and it all turns to shit.

      It’s this absurd country of “Christian” values, except not the part of caring for others, “fuck that socialism hippie shit, except for China, which is cool now because they meddle in our elections… Or, they meddle in favour of my team! We need to do something about the socio-economic situation! What, unions? No fuck that Marxist shit you commie!”

      It’s still an example of the American Christian mentality, even if this example is in Australia. Like Trump supporters are examples of the Nazi mentality even though they aren’t actually–ok bad example there.
