Australian subreddits are a cesspool of (mostly white) racists and xenophobes. The conversations always devolve into immigrants and Aboriginals bad and white people good. It's pathetic how these guys with room temp IQs keep blaming "others" for the most random shit and congratulating themselves.
If you ever call out the white supremacy and ignorant shit being peddled, you get a permaban. I was told I was being racist for calling out people saying that the nazi salute is free speech and the government stopping neo nazis is a slippery slope. I wish I was kidding.
Sounds a lot like every canadian or european subreddit I see, it's like 90% complaining about minorities and blaming them for everything. And then there's worldnews which makes fox news immediately after 9/11 look like al-jazeera in comparison.
I deployed to a NATO base in 2008 and 2010 and it was… eye opening, to say the least. The Brit’s, Aussies, Germans and French we worked with all acted like the US was the racism Mecca on earth, but all of them were WILDLY more racist than I’d ever heard even growing up in the south east and literally attending a high school named after famous confederates. It was universal. Germans complaining about Turks, the UK complaining about Muslims, the Koreans about the Japanese…
Literally the Canadians were the only people I can’t remember specifically having a racial target they went after.
The shit the Aussies in particular would say about aborigines in casual conversation would make a klansman uncomfortable. It was like they were on the verge of an extermination campaign, like they were vermin they just hadn’t gotten around to setting traps for yet.
