>Anon asks "what's life like in this [largest and most important city with 200+ years of continuous cultural importance to your nation]?" >"NNNOOO that metropole where 1/4 of our entire national population live, all our national media is from, all our academia is located in, and which generates all of our economic activity doesn't represent mah country and REAL CULTURE!!!"Genuinely why is this sentiment so common online? You'll see some retards saying "Paris isn't the real France" or "Milan is not Italy!!!" and admittedly a lot of Aussies pretending that Sydney and Melbourne don't define this country.
Modern big cities are all globohomo so you can't look for the local culture there

>>225039624That just means Globohomo IS (or will soon be) your culture now
Beautiful angel sent from heavenI didn't read your post btw
>>225039577Sydney absolutely defines Australia on the global stage. Melbourne not in the least. Foreigners know it as an item on the Economist's hecking walkable cities index, but there's no iconic scenery or cultural export that actually appears in foreign media as a symbol of Australia in the way Sydney does.
>>225039577Its common everywhere.Large metropolises have always been the most globalised cities in any country
>>225039673Yes this is true too.100 years ago no one from Spain would know about the democratic-republican dispute in the USA, now everyone knows
>>225039783True, but still the point is that despite our wishes, "Australians" just aren't bush ringers for the most part, we are overwhelmingly a bunch of gay city people and by 2077 probably be Chinese or Indian
>>225039871>we are overwhelmingly a bunch of gay city peopleCan I live in Australia?
>>225039871No arguments there. The "white" "people" of Australia are the gayest, most pliant little bitches you'll ever meet. Personally I'd rather be conquered by China than India but it looks like The Experts have decided and it is my job to trust the science.
>>225039577It's unironically true in our case.
