Australia is the greatest Anglosphere nation and it's not even close.>Starts as a British outpost in one of the most inhospitable environments on earth>Sydney, the first British settlement, was named after Thomas Townshend, 1st Viscount Sydney, he was responsible for devising a plan to settle convicts at Botany Bay in Australia>Melbourne was named after Lord Melbourne, the Prime Minister of Great Britain at the time>Brisbane streets are named after British royal>Sydney is a gorgeous natural harbour with stunning oceanside cliffs and a pleasant subtropical climate with crystal clear blue waters, world famous beaches, and right next door to the Blue Mountains >Melbourne was briefly the wealthiest city on earth on a per capita basis, thanks to Victoria's Gold Rush >South Australia was the one Australian colony founded exclusively by free settlers with no convicts>That penal colony has now surpassed just about every country in the world by nearly every objective measurement
>>18662656The US is unironically better and I’m someone who moved here 25 years ago from there. It’s safer with better nature, more money making opportunities, an actual nightlife and civilisation littered in small towns/cities beyond just having the population concerted in the concrete ghettos of the capitals. Plus gun and freedom culture.I’d move back if there wasn’t a legitimate chance of me being graped by an ICE agent.
>>18662656>That penal colony has now surpassed just about every country in the world by nearly every objective measurementListen man, I like Australia, but, such as?
>>18662656It could have been, but instead it's just another Canada. At least it doesn't have a population of French settlers that are pandered to more than the natives.
>>18662670How the fuck is the US safer than Australia in any way
>>18662790An armed society is a polite society.>I don't have a gunSucks to suck.
>>18662981You’re allowed to own guns in Australia retard. Outside of your headcanon the US is much less safe than Australia
>>18662997How easy is it to get guns though?
>>18662790Ausfag here, the crime where I live is massively higher than most parts of the US, there are methheads everywhere, and you can do literally nothing legally to defend yourself. I don't know why you lied about being able to own guns because only sports shooters and hunters are allowed to (self-defence is not a valid reason, and you need a valid reason), and since Bondi you are only allowed to own 4 guns and they have to be the right type for that purpose, and you have to demonstrate use in that context to keep your license.
>>18662997Oh really? What type? Fully automatic? Large magazines?
>>18662656>most inhospitable environments on earthPeople keep saying this shit because they obviously have literally never set foot in Australia.Coastal NSW and Victoria are very pleasant, green, temperate climates, if anything it's a fucking paradise and life on easy mode.Victoria especially feels very similar to England, actually. If you ride the train from Melbourne to Ballart or Bendigo you'll see green pastures and grazing European breeds of cattle as far as the horizon.
>>18662981The US has a higher murder rate than third world Argentina lmao get real bro. The only dangerous place in Australia is like Alice Springs and Darwin or some shit.>t. American Working-Holiday fag living in Melbourne's "ghetto" suburbs rn
>>18663642So I can go swim in any river or beach and not worry about dying in those areas?
>>18663642>these areas are paradise on earth as long as you don't get stung by box jellyfish or bitten by sea snakes or deadly funnel web spiders>also, ignore the gigantic un-survivable wasteland that is 80% of the island
>>18663696Yes, actually. Saltwater Crocodiles are only up north in Queensland and NT, New South Wales is already too cold for them and Victoria is outright freezing cold for a reptile like that. Obviously sharks are a thing, but it's not like sharks in the Atlantic Ocean made the USA inhospitable either.>>18663732Aquatic creatures were literally irrelevant to 99% of people in the pre modern era, going to the beach for a swim as a holiday is a very modern thing, farmers in the 1800s weren't being terrorised by Jellyfish.Yes the outback red dirt is huge, but that fertile green 20% of Australia is still more km^2 than the entirety of England or Germany. It's a big fucking country, even if only a margin of it is temperate it's still an enormous amount of land.
>>18663604>the crime where I live is massively higher than most parts of the USWhere
