I think we're generally okay for people to have some success ... as long as you stay humble , don't flaunt it , do some good things

[@dudoklasovity2093]

this is common in most of Europe and South America as well. It’s not envy. It’s people generally don’t like someone stand out. (Maybe it’s 10% envy)😂

[@ApolloArcher1]

I think also we prefer to respect people’s privacy too and so very few of us actually go up and ask for photos and autographs and such which means they can feel more comfortable just being out and about right? Also I feel that the way we are raised is a big thing, it’s much like Isaac was saying, we’re all just normal people and we’re taught not to let ego go to our heads which is likely a huge reason why our celebrities are just normal good people

[@tbone7463]

I kind of like how supportive America feels towards success. They all celebrate each other's success all the time. In Australia, it doesn't seem as supportive, not mean, but more "every man for himself". The celebrities will only cop it if they act better than everyone else. If they are down to earth they get along great.

True story: Earlier this year Paul McCartney was in my city (Adelaide) giving a concert. Next day he strolled into a local coffee shop on his own, sat down and read the paper while drinking his coffee and having a snack. Everyone recognised him but no one pestered him. When he'd finished he politely said thank you to the owner and departed. We gave him the best gift - treated him like he was just a bloke looking for a quiet moment to have a coffee. Yes, it made the radio and the local paper but I was proud he was treated with respect like that.

Rod Stewart was in Sydney recently and he's into model railways and he went into a model railway shop and bought some model railway items and the shop owners and customers treated him as a customer not a celebrity. He then went to Bunnings hardware and was treated exactly the same. We don't go in for all this celebrity culture for we look at them not up to them for they're human just like the rest of us with all the human failings that we all have.

I have dual citizenship and am considering renouncing my American citizenship due to the embarrassment occurring in America. Australians are just so chill and laid back. Americans seem to make everything over important and intense. For example in America “I got a yada yada GPA” they get over praised by their achievements whereas here in Australia you get a good on ya mate but nobody cares. It’s just such a great atmosphere that encourages humility and prevents the dumbass mentality Americans develop in schools.

The biggest difference in politics is that Australian politicians don’t have to have rallies or pander to extreme views to encourage people to get to a polling station and vote. Voting is compulsory here, polling stations are open for early voting if you won’t be able to make it on the day, postal voting is available, polling day is always on a Saturday to make it easier. Political advertising is pretty much limited to the six weeks before election day and must state who is the advertiser, whether it is a political party, a special interest group or an individual, they must attach their name to their political ad. We don’t directly elect our Prime Minister, we elect our local member of parliament and if their party gets the most members elected they form government and they choose one of them to be Prime Minister, but we do know beforehand who the parties have as their leader. They can choose to change their leader during their term in office. Because of how our system works we have a lot more than two parties and quite a few independents.

He even made the comment 3 years earlier that it would take something like a mass shooting in Port Arthur to make Australians willing to give up their guns. How convenient. The eyewitness accounts of various people who worked at Port Arthur at the time tried to testify that there were multiple shooters, but they were prohibited from speaking. Just like the people who owned the cafe 1 1/2 hours away from Port Arthur who were trying to testify that Martin Bryant, the supposed shooter, was in their cafe at the time of the shootings. They knew him well, as he was a regular. They were not permitted to speak on the subject, and not allowed to testify, even though they wanted to. Martin Bryant had the mental capacity of a child, how could carry this out, and so many gun experts at the time were saying that it would be virtually impossible for Martin to carry big heavy bag with various guns and ammo, and shoot like was supposed to be. The precision of the gunfire was marksman level. Let also realise that the entry to the area was shut down with police patrols, who didn't know why. Ambulances were kept out, until official permission was given. Also, Martin Bryant has never gone before a court, but still sits in gaol, he has been deprived of his whole life on no charges. Oh yes, let's trust the government on this one. Now we are in a position where we can't defend ourselves from a rogue government, rogue military ,etc. America, never give up your guns!

One thing I've taken away from this video guys is that if you ever need a therapist try and get an Austrailian one 👍👍

[@caitlindavis4384]

If you want a therapist like an Australian, you'll just have to talk to some random, but polite, bloke. They'll just listen and if you want their opinion, you'll have to ask for it and they'll give it to you straight. And get this, it's free of no charge. That's right, free with no charge. Who would want a professional when half of them twist your words to make you sound like you're the problem? ...That's what I heard from one of my friends and cousin when they got psychological therapy

But yeah, I understand what you mean. It'd would be pretty naive for someone to take it even 70% of what I said in my previous comment seriously.

I think lobbyists are more effective than a vote these days. Eventually lobbyists can affect each political party's stance on an issue. You may have heard of the "gun lobby". In Australia there are the lobbyist that asked for the increases in tax on alcohol and tobacco. The doctors' lobby.

[@ginagriffith2846]

@berranari1 Yes, a shame we're heading in the way of the money talking US, the greatest 'democracy" on earth 😅. And crazy as it might seem, I do know what the gun lobby is. Voting still makes a difference.

[@berranari1]

The Simpsons episode Lisa goes to Washington explained how effective lobbies are. And the episode where Bill Clinton and Bob Dole were replaced by alien replacements showed that votes in a two party system are useless when those parties are being influenced. Besides a single vote can't do much when an electorate is not close to begin with. There is an episode of Blackadder the third, Dish and Dishonesty, which shows us how electorates were and still are designed for one side to win. This is called gerrymandering. There are not many marginal seats. Voting is important, but my vote will not stop a candidate that I don't like being elected by people somewhere else. A filibuster is what was going on in the Simpsons episode I mentioned when Lisa goes to Washington. In Australia there is an anti sugar lobby. I actually wish that they were around to save me from sugar, but it is too late for me.

And the Sydney siege, was that the one in the chocolate shop? 8-10 years ago? I remember it because I'm a chocoholic. As far as I know and remember, it didn't take more than about 3 months from the Port Arthur incident until the new weapons law was completed and came into force, weapons were collected and life continued as before, only safer for everyone. If you try to tell this to someone from the US they will most likely dismiss it as "it will never work in the US". This genuine conviction that what works everywhere else in the world, they are too special for it to work for them is a completely unique thing about US citizens. It is a form of collective narcissism in combination with extreme indoctrination that is only seen in today's North Korea and in Germany during a period in the 1930s and 1940s. This also applies both in working life, (especially fair wages for workers), the price of health care, tuition for education, etc. The so-called "Best country in the world" is no better than they can't get simple things that everyone else gets to work in their societies to work in theirs. And it also doesn't help that the average US citizen knows NOTHING about what goes on outside the country's borders, many not outside their own state's borders. They are willfully ignorant in a world where all knowledge is a few keystrokes away. The US has become nothing more than the world's richest third world country.

I was thinking about this the other day. Oz has the Australian Electoral Commission (the AEC). That's a federal non-political body that runs elections and sets electoral boundaries. So no gerrymandering or political interference in the outcome of elections. In the US each State runs its own elections, with the running of and the judging of the outcome not appearing to be done at "arm's length", and seems to adjust electoral boundaries to favour the political party currently in power. That's not democratic, yet the US trumpets that it's displaying the benefits of Democracy to the rest of the world. Also, OZ has proportional representational voting, not first-past-the-post like the US. While more complex, this leads to less partisanship and can lead to coalitions of parties to govern. This tends to make OZ governments more centrist than in the US. And OZ has the strong influence of a convict/protesting Irish early history, so it used to be more egalitarian, against "Tall Poppies" and a place that enshrined "Mateship" and a "Fair Go" in life, with a laid-back, philosophical attitude of "She'll be right, mate". Unfortunately, OZ is less like this today.
