Notsilvia Night:
Australians seem to be far more like us Europeans.

This is not true. Europeans show much more extremes like Communism and Fascism. Our system is more like a Fabian socialist ideal.

Australians (or New Zealanders) are very fortunate than other English speaking countries like the United Sates and Britain. Unlike these countries where some of there citizens know both American and British history, some of us Australians (or New Zealanders) also know about Australian history as well. We are taught at school about our colonial history and our stable democracy (one of the longest in the world). This does make us generally more humane. The death penalty is barbaric as torture is barbaric. With all of it’s paradoxes and illusions, we still have a robust liberal socialist (leftist) democracy.

I believe in Anarchism (for the trolls – non violent) but I fully aware that at this present time, that there are many people who have no self governance of there own behaviors and can easy be swayed to follow mob rule.

Interesting times we are in.
