🇺🇸🇦🇺AMERICAN REACT TO 10 REASONS WHY AUSTRALIA IS BETTER THAN AMERICA FOR THE FIRST TIME

[@VivitStudios]

To the people who are threatening to unsubscribe, the ones who has already unsubscribed, we all have an opinion, I have the right to state my opinion on whatever topic. How are you mad that I’m defending my homeland? How are you mad that im defending the country that has given me everything in life? America is far from perfect, we all have our differences. Just because I’m defending America, doesn’t mean I hate Australia or has anything against Australians. I’m pretty sure an Australian would do the same, so you can’t be so hurt over a reaction video. For the Australians that understand this and know that we don’t all have to agree on everything, THANK YOU!💯🫡

[@tacitdionysus3220]

It's not that we disagree, that's fine. It's just that the basis of your disagreement is to immediately disbelieve anything that contradicts your biases without checking what the facts are..

[@oskarraeburn3516]

Sure you have every right to your opinion, other people have a right to theirs so why are you get butt hurt over their opinion, kinda hypocritical lol

[@Rastusmishka12]

Mate, he's American and much more accurate than you think. Sounds like you're just getting butthurt and defensive.

[@VivitStudios]

Not getting butt hurt, his statements are biased

[@AdrianHarwood]

@@VivitStudios, how could he be biased, The GUY is American.

[@sybriusart6137]

@@VivitStudios it would be biased if he was from australia but he's american so he's making a comparison

[@Notric]

Only three countries in the world still use the Imperial measurements, Myanmar, Liberia and The USA. Even the country that invented that system (England) now uses Metric.

[@VivitStudios]

I’m actually from Liberia😂 that’s crazy that you mentioned it. You’re the first to even mention Liberia😂

[@Duckerzz]

It's even crazier than that, Myanmar is shifting towards the metric system but still largely uses the Burmese units of measurement not Imperial. So its really only the US and Liberia using Imperial.

[@bline5891]

Lol at “America’s the greatest country” obviously a lot of experience behind that statement.

[@boomamedia4724]

Hey Vick, I'm enjoying your enthusiasm and laughter. I'm an Aussie and I feel you have not fully understood the "calm" of Australia. We all feel safe anywhere anytime.

[@VivitStudios]

Appreciate you, and I love Australia and Australians, just had to call out some of the things he said.

You're the only American I've seen on KZbin who believes the US has a decent transport system, and he was using US dollars for both countries in the wage comparison.

[@julesmarwell8023]

WELL, looks like Australia is not the place for you.. Thank God. Cheers have a bloody good one

[@VivitStudios]

What you mean looks like Australia is not the place for me? Just cuz I said some of the things he said are lies, doesn’t mean I have anything against Australia. As an immigrant who came to this country for a better life. My parents fought hard to get to America, fleeing a very bad civil war in Liberia, west Africa, America has given me so much, then it has taken from me, it’s not a bad thing to defend the country that has given me everything. I’m pretty sure as an Australian, you would want an immigrant who has enjoyed the fruits of Australia to show some appreciation and defend Australia, and if you watch the full video, you would actually see that I said some things he said are true.

[@johnjarvis2470]

One thing he is right about……health care…….should not have not have surgery or treatment because of wealth or lack of it……..plus usa sends young people to die in war ,but they can’t legally have a beer until 21 years

[@thomas-australia]

Healthcare for sure I just got neck surgery to remove a disc and fusion (along with all the scans and doctor visits before hand) - Total cost: $0.00

[@lynnmoses3563]

I wish you people would stop critizing Vivit...He went to America from a poorer country...Its been good to him...Understandably he is defending it...why wouldnt he, so would you if you were in his shoes..Apologies for my fellow countrymen...Im a fifth generation Aussie on my maternal side...my ancestors (my 4th and 5th times great grandfathers, were African Americans, one born in the Caribbean and the other born in Connecticut...The were slaves, who came here with the First Fleet, in the late 1700's...Please leave Vivit alone....

[@paulwbafc73]

I moved from UK to Australia in 2008. I am a tradie where this is most common. It's most prevalent amongst people they know and trust. People you can have a laugh with. It is the use of racist and insulting words between friends at each other as a form of entertainment and comedy. Like dogs play fighting pretty much. My first introduction on my first day at work was to an electrician I would be working with for the next 8 years. The first thing he said to me was "I hate the British" then burst out laughing. I replied "I do too that's why I came here and is it true aussie electricians all carry their tools around in handbags or is that just the straight ones?" After that we had a great time brilliant banter and one of the best funniest work relationships I have had with any co-worker. We threw insults at each other all day everyday laughing.

[@ianhopkins754]

lol defensive much, you gotta lighten up he’s not the only American that say’s the same thing and if you got a hell of a lot of Americans saying the same then maybe you need to educate yourself on you’re own country and you just might see how right they are. Sure you’ve got the right to defend you’re country we do but we are open and honest about it we know Australia has its faults but we are safer, richer,and happier.

[@VivitStudios]

It’s not that serious Ian, I stated my opinion, just like everyone does. No need for the insults brother🫡

The minimum wage in Australia as of July 1 2024 is $24.10 per hour

[@VivitStudios]

The minimum wage varies by state here, and by profession

[@zwieseler]

@@VivitStudios The minimum wage here, and there, is only paid to people who are battlers. Not professionals. It is $7.25 in America as at December 2024. The federal minimum wage has been $7.25 per hour since July 2009. Washington and California pay above the award- $16 per hour. Some states pay less than that, too many only pay 7.25. [US Dept of Labor]

[@charliew4823]

Mate I could almost hear you chanting USA USA USA the whole time Tristan was talking, nobody in Australia thinks the place is perfect but not one child in Australia has had to do active shooter drills at school, and when Tristan did his 10 things he hates about Australia the media reacted just like you did over this one.

[@VivitStudios]

😂😂😂 nahh, it’s just that people experiences differs, depending on where you live, what state, city, neighborhood, all that.

[@VivitStudios]

The wage here ain’t as bad, it just depends on where you live.

[@nevillewelsh6393]

@ it’s just your minimum wage of $7.25 USD I think makes it look bad Here in Oz our minimum is $25.25 ASD which converted is $15.75 USD

[@hershalkrostofsky825]

ok dude, you need to listen up and accept criticism and some cold hard truth. The US is not the "best" and can learn a lot from other countries. But hey, keep drinking the cool-aid and believe the hype if you want. Your loss.

australia.............. THE AMERICAN DREAM according to 9000 americans.. who now call themselves Australians in 2024

[@VivitStudios]

I would love to live in Australia, I love Australia and Australians, but I wouldn’t let someone talk down on the country that has given me everything.

[@clivegilbertson6542]

G'day Mate! OK... There are a few things about working here that Tristan did not include...Annual Leave at leaset 4 weeks often 5-6 paid for everyone and that includes a 17.5 % loading on top of Normal pay rates...Penealty rates:- most workers are paid extra for odd hours like an extra 15% for after 4 pm ( my shift for many years!) extra 50% on Saturdays, 75 or 100% extra for Sundays and Public holidays...You don't need to tip here because the staff get paid enough to live on... Long service leave:- After 10 years service you are entitled to 3 months extra paid leave and pro rata thereafter! When I retired I had nearly 1 year paid form my long service leave... Mate America is a great nation but it is not perfect and could learn a lot from other 'first world' nations like Australia... Cheers!

[@shaneedwards6704]

Sorry m8 it doesn't look like you are ready to learn of other countries or are you butthurt another american is speaking the truth of his experiences and it goes against your beliefs that you believe are worth no debate

thank you for answering. Truth is Aust and America are probably two of the closest friends on earth. we are in a different hemisphere different country different continent different people,. I respect you for your love for your country which is as it should be.. we answer back because we hear you and listen. THAT IS HOW WE LEARN. no country is perfect we all have faults. just remember we are people living on a rock. the thought of arguing is not my style., however I am entitled to voice my opinion.... If you ever visit Australia you would be welcomed with wide open arms... Just remember some things WILL BE DIFFERENT> SOME GOOD SOME BAD. Australians are famous for SAYING IT AS IT IS> WE DON'T HIDE BEHIND THE BUSH. Please keep blogging so as I CAN LEARN FROM YOU OPINIONS... Thank you sir,.

[@VivitStudios]

Yes, but some of the things he’s saying is biased😂😂

[@farmerJ-zp9dj]

Not biased , he's giving you the straight facts 💯

[@johntaylor6654]

Hey Vick you are entitled to your opinion, like Australia, I'm sure there's many things to like about America, and you are entitled to defend it. The fact is despite the lame second amendment explanation, there was 48,000 gun deaths in the U.S. in 2024 and 20,000 homicides by shooting, so just because it's in the constitution doesn't make it right, our kids don't have gun drills at school. Secondly we aren't scared of being shot by our police force, when we are pulled over for a traffic offence, or treated badly because we are black. Our health system isn't perfect but it's light years ahead of yours. As of 2024 when the average Australian retires a male gets $435,000 in superannuation paid for by the employer during his working life. He was wrong about the minimum wage it's $24.10 per hour. That's three very important reasons why Australians are better off than Americans. Is Australia better than America ? well it is in those three points at least, overall well they are probably both great places to live and America is probably better if you have enough money, if you are money challenged Australia is better.

[@RootedMate]

Been to the USA and gladly say probably won't go back. Australia is the way better version. Deal with it

[@nolamullen1889]

Don't worry. He'll come round.

He’s already converted the currency, dude. Yes. teachers wages are higher in Australia. Google is your friend.

[@pierrep2137]

The audacity to claim the other American bloke is bias because he prefers Australia, while claiming America has the best parks in the world and you haven’t even been to Australia 😂 The American delusion continues

[@tacitdionysus3220]

You really need to look at facts. I've never seen a dude so much in denial. Anything that contradicts your beliefs is rejected without checking. No society can improve without honestly reviewing their performance. Australia is not perfect; but I've travelled extensively in the USA and Australia and much of what he is saying is true.

[@i.aladdin]

I don't understand your baseless cynicism of his perspective when he was clearly stating his experiences in both the US and Australia, you were dismissive of his comparative views when you haven't had the same experiences without having any reason. It was like an immediate knee jerk reaction of defensiveness without any concrete backing or substance as to why.

[@julesmarwell8023]

hey mate, do they teach you how to dodge bullets at school ???? btw DO NOT GET SICK

As an Aussie I don't think your prepared to learn About Aus , you seem offended ,I enjoy your channel but you getting butt hurt makes you look bad, " America no 1 " it's this inward thinking that's makes Americans hated around the world, I drive an American car ,date an American , love from Aistralia,but know there's other country's doing much better than yours.

[@VivitStudios]

In your words in order to be prepared to learn about Australia, I gotta accept bad things that are being said about America? I was never mad in this video, was just pointing out some things he said, I’m allowed to do that sir. It’s a reaction video for a reason, and USA is the country I live in, just cuz I want to learn about another country, that doesn’t mean I have to slander another. If you watched the full video, you would see that I agreed with some things he said.
