"Australian nationalist"? genuinely? that's fucking bizzare

[–] [email protected] 32 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (10 children)

hey that's not fair they uh actually have um their own uniquely innovative type of sushi that they er, invented or something of that sort

https://www.theage.com.au/goodfood/eating-out/yes-australian-sushi-exists-get-over-it-argues-adam-liaw-20231123-p5em7w.html

it's like regular sushi but they don't cut it
wonderful stuff coming out of Australia

they also put sprinkles on bread. which is an A-level gastronomic innovation in the Anglic realm

I'm pretty sure the dutch invented the sprinkles thing

[–] [email protected] 21 points 9 months ago (1 children)

my whole life is a lie thought up by the dutch

I'll die before I give up my fairy bread.

Death to Australia, though.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 9 months ago (4 children)

Yeah, Australians are such bigots. I hate them all.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 9 months ago

this but unironically

[–] [email protected] 17 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Every Australian I've met have been pretty racist yeah

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Its only as bad as any other anglo country.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 9 months ago (1 children)

In 1900 New Zealand was given a choice to join Australia as a state and one of the commonly cited reasons against joining was that NZers were worried that Australians were so racist that they would cause another war with the indigenous Maori people.

Not that NZers at the time were treating Maori people with fairness and dignity, but Maori could at least vote and Australia was actively genociding the Tasmanian aboriginal people at the time so...

Not exactly as bad as all other anglo countries.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 9 months ago (1 children)

there's something very funny to me about turboracists who nevertheless draw the line somewhere.

like NZ in the above story, or like the countless very racist northerners in the ACW who certainly did not want to live next to black people or treat them as equals, but were nevertheless willing to fucking die to end slavery.

how do you get this kind of brainworm?!

[–] [email protected] 17 points 9 months ago (2 children)

At that time NZ Settlers had just gotten out of a very destructive war with the Maori. Maori people fought exceptionally well and some historians credit them with inventing proto-trench warfare.

The white settlers had to cry to Britain for help, and the war was so expensive the Brits basically told the settlers that they weren't getting bailed out again. In other words the KKKrakas were afraid that the dipshit Aussies would kick off round 2 with the Maori and get them all killed.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago (2 children)

So the Aussies weren't more racist. NZ settlers were just trying to keep things on the DL. Being afraid of repercussions for being racist isn't being less racist.

NZ is like Canada. The government is systemic racism personified but they say sorry as they twist the knife.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago

Trying to read up on it now, but to my knowledge (which is out of date by a few years) neither Australia nor Canada have nation-wide programs which are analogous to the Treaty of Waitangi claims process which has paid out significant compensation and granted rights to indigenous peoples?

The closest I can find is some local land back program in Tasmania (where most of the Aboriginal people were already genocided) and some vague mentions of modern treaties between the Canadian govt and First Nations groups surrounding limited rights and land back.

Like yeah maybe the average NZ KKKraka isn't any less racist than an Australian or Canadian (debatable imo, but not falsifiable either way) but NZ seems to still be the least bad Anglo settler colony because it's still trying to do something tangible to uphold the original treaty between the Maori and the Anglos.

Obviously it's not enough and will never be enough, especially with a historically flawed process and a new right wing govt. Least bad is still a loooong way off from good.

In true Australian fashion, they’re more open about it

I followed your link and i think those thieves probably stole the idea from the Dutch https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hagelslag

[–] [email protected] 14 points 9 months ago

Damn. Imagine having to copy culinary ideas from the Dutch.

It's actually OK to make new kinds of sushi. All the good sushi isn't authentically Japanese anyway.

I think everyone should experience such a mindset (splattered all over the pavement and photographed as a piece for MoMA)

[–] [email protected] 22 points 9 months ago

It truly is something uniquely European, to go somewhere that is not Europe and then complain that there are too many non-Europeans.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 9 months ago

It really isn't that bizarre. "Australian nationalist" just means "neo-nazi" but too cowardly to say it.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 9 months ago

It's weird to be a nationalist for a nation with a foreign head of state.

Most normal white person: thinks about his imaginary wife sucking BBC and then getting angry about it

[–] [email protected] 33 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Dude I hate it when my imaginary wife sucks off the British Broadcasting Corporation :(

I always think something else when people use the acronym for Bath and Body Works.

[–] [email protected] 50 points 9 months ago

and here we see the "Muh Historical Accuracy"-nerds shed their paper thin pretense and say what they actually always mean when they utter those words

Gonna make a video game called White Genocide and it’s just a dating sim where there are no pairings between a white man and a white woman

[–] [email protected] 19 points 9 months ago

One pairing between a white man and white woman and you find out they're both trans 3 hours into their arc

[–] [email protected] 33 points 9 months ago

THE GAME IS SET IN A MIAMI PASTICHE OF COURSE THERES A LOT OF BLACK PEOPLE????

[–] [email protected] 31 points 9 months ago

That's just so fucking embarrassing, imagine posting that

[–] [email protected] 31 points 9 months ago

It's Miami, not Naperville

[–] [email protected] 29 points 9 months ago

I love when dipshit racists get mad. They're such losers.

GTA vii should only feature whites if they’re antagonists

[–] [email protected] 17 points 9 months ago

Gta7 should be a Michael Lewis adaptation where white people are just committing financial crimes against each other .

I thought people played video games to escape reality?

Just like that time people were raging and seething over women in war games because of "muh realism"?

Uhh did they forget about GTA San Andreas? The most popular GTA game before GTA V had a billion re releases?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Complete aside, there are clearly some mayos in the top right.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago

these people have never been to miami ever

you can absolutely be in parts of miami and the outlying neighborhoods (like liberty city or little haiti) and not see white people at all and i know this because ive been there

i bet these assholes would complain if you goto bakeries and cafes in miami in the game and nobody speaks english, which is another common thing in miami but you learn a few spanish words if you want the best coffee and pastries money can buy
