..gets many sub-topics.. all of which suggest that a distant set of The Orange Menace's DNA has infected ... that. far. South. :-/
Condolences to static et. al.
Years ago ( unfortunately ) I viewed some V. dark videos--apparently produced as-if "movies for entertainment"; some of these would have been dubbed snuff-flics in these parts ... naturally I wondered IF Aussies' gene pool had been corrupted via similar *ancestors*--Slavers.. *grifters.. conscience-free marauders??-- akin to our Puritan (plus other sects thrown-out of Europe as ~incurable Dicks), and who poisoned the early-USA as led to such as Drumpf having power.
* (of course I was aware of Oz's gestation as a prison colony.. but even from that handicap it's not necessarily the case that successors would not weed out/diminish the authority of: the truly fucked-felons, over generations. My ignorance is large as to that history, but ... :-/
Alas, there are disturbing parallels 'twixt our two unhealthy terminally-anti-social sub-tribes.
Needless-to-say--but wtf--Oz's 'take' on planetary salvation, creation of a both 'democratic' and socially sane culture appears to be in as much jeopardy as in the dis-US. ... ... I see that I have to delve bit deeper (when I can stand that.)
tl;dr:
Shit!
