Being "not as bad as USA" is the excuse Australia uses.
Homelessness, police brutality, medical costs, University debt, etc.
It's the excuse not to solve problems.
Been hearing it all my life, whenever someone complains that's how they get shut down.
Then come online and see people like the guy you were referring, letting their own freedoms be taken away because they fell for the scapegoating migrants and blaming foreigners for USA's problems psyop.
It just blows me away sometimes how propagandised we all are.
