We were meant to be a British colony before we told England to fuck off so we could find our own path.

Now we're an American colony.

The answer is no.

I mean England doesn't have direct command of our country anymore. If they went to war again with Europe tomorrow, it'd be our decision to decide whether we wanted to jump in or not, not a forced conscription like it was before.

I've always seen Australia as a southern Canada of sorts. We don't really have a national identity, but we do have different cultures at the provincial level. Quebec is an extreme example of this, but the other provinces have it as well to varying degrees. Is there anything like that with the Australian states?

Australia is basically like a country where 99 percent of it is like the American red neck south with different accents, just replaces the trucks with utes the American flags with Aussies flags.

Then the only places normal people live are Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.

And if you go more than 20ks outside of any of those places it's like the south of America.

Australian Culture

Australia = shit version of California with worse accents and like 10 years behind. If you hate Californians you will really hate Australians.

Australia is a floating version of Bakersfield.

>>72699499
Yes, but it's much less pronounced than others. Australia is a really young country that, unlike the US, never really fealt a need to break away from the mother country. In time, it will become more distinct from Britain, but right now it maintains strong similarities

>>72702759
Like take these nepalese people and they go to an Aussie... "This is my culture it goes back 100's of years and is a strong part of my peoples identity"


Than the Aussie goes "Yeah, mate we got culture like that to, what we do is get drunk and watch sport.. that's our version of the same thing"

Can you imagine how ridiculous that would sound to them?

Bogans love Australian v8 muscle cars.

Yeah, I hear this no-culture meme a lot since I live under Comrade Trudeau but it simply isn't the case.

The most different country is probably the US though, then Canada. Australia and NZ are a lot closer to the UK than we are but all of us are pretty similar.

In some senses the US is more "British" than the UK. For example, continuing to not use metric and sticking with imperial. Pretty based imo.

What do you mean? Our institutions are the products of colonial rule and the core of our populace were settlers and convicts from the UK. Of course Australia has become much more since then with the intake of various peoples and cultures into our daily life. But, ""Australia"" as a thing is a slice of Britain circa 1788 plonked onto this landmass that has since developed into its own entity, it didn't just come into existence as its own independent entity.

>>72699499
The only thing about Australian culture that I can think of are those cool looking hats and kangaroo roundels on your planes. But aside from that, there is not much culture.

Not in the food, no, it's southern usa canjun cousine.

But the decoration is pure australian culture, at least in the brazilian restaurants.

I remember the first time I went to outback an a kid. The stylish wooden facade and interiors (pic related), the dark ambient inside with yelloish lights hanging on every table, nice comfy furniture, the walls stuffed from to bottom with rugby jerseys, australian flags, boomerangs, abo paddles, crocodiles, landscape pictures and postcards from australia, koalas, cricket and rugby memorabilia, british stuff, funny road signs with odd animals, outback hats, iced tea, steve irwing-like things, kangaroo plushes for the kids to play with.

Australian cuisine is slowly developing, I think more of our chefs need to leave the city and really discover the native ingredients in our forests, coastline, desert and bush. One of the best restaurants in the world (Attica in Melbourne) is Australian cuisine.

Do you guys have netflix alredy?

You should watch the Alex Atala episode of "Chef's Table" (season 2) That's exactly what he did with brazilian cuisine. Very interesting stuff.

He goes himself into the rainforest to fish and discover new ingredients, then he employs indigenous tribes to supply for his restaurant in sao paulo.

>>72730181
Yes I've seen it, I love that series. It inspires me to discover more about my own country.

It kind of looks like Australian colonial architecture but something is quite off and not quite genuine looking about it.

>>72730019
Heard of that one. Thing is, it's ridiculously expensive and not everyone can access it. We need our own versions of street food, or something like a national dish to cook at home that we can be recognised by and then develop more dishes from there.

And sometimes the food culture of other regions and countries is overrated, like the whole balkans region is mostly meat and potatoes but they give it different meme foreign names.

>>72729871
Do any Australians work there?

I see what you mean
it's like they put the design through a burger filter

>>72730522
no. It's an american chain and the employees are all brazilian college students.

But they do import their decorations from australia

>>72730504
I completely agree. We need to have our native herbs, vegetables, fruits and meats easily accessible in markets.

I commend Attica for pioneering this, I just hope it filters down into the everyday Australian's diet. And there's hope yet, Brazilian cuisine didn't take off domestically until very recently and it's currently undergoing somewhat of a renaissance. It's only a matter of time til that happens here, I just hope I'm around to see it.

Good point about Brazilian cuisine. I hope attica inspires similar and more affordable restaurants and more aussie produce in supermarkets. I know we will get memed to shit but using kangaroo and emu as substitute meats could be a starting point.

There was a fairly thriving rock scene here in the 70's and 80's, this sounds quite similar to a lot of the other bands of the time (Hunters & Collectors, Crowded House, Triffids etc.). Of course all Anglo countries share musical influences, as does the Spanish speaking world.

>>72701211
Ahahaha I bet you're one of those faggots who cry about muh British oppression muh Gallipoli

Guess what cunts there were more FRENCH troops in Gallipoli than Australian and kiwi troops combined and about FIVE times as many Brits there as Australians and kiwis

>>72731236
not to mention one of the greatest rock bands ever is Australian
>>72731242
because it's on your doorstep and you had about 10 times the population of us at the time you dimwit. that was a huge slice of our population.

>>72731236
>Of course all Anglo countries share musical influences, as does the Spanish speaking world.
Yeah fuck that. I can not place it, but for me dire straits has something very uniquely australian. It's not an anglo thing.

>>72731374
Dire Straits are British though. There's a lot of crossover with Australian and British blues rock. Certain Clapton songs sound quite Aussie too, but it speaks to the whole shared musical influence of the Anglosphere.

>>72731432
So you are all the fucking same? Shit man.

>>72731463
Buena Vista Social Club could be from Mexico as far as I'm concerned, to an outsider they all sound similar. Doesn't mean it's not great music.

Because it's a cheap looking replica. It wouldn't use the exact same materials as an Actual Australian building. So there is that. But if Brazil finds it cute then Brazil finds it cute.

>>72700436
Not really, Queensland is our Texas but their population is low enough that they don't have much of an influence at a national level. WA went through a secessionist phase for a bit but they're even more irrelevant so that would be a disaster.

It's pretty much an extension of Victoria with a couple quirks (slightly different architecture, unique flora and fauna, colder climate). In my opinion it would be a great place to retire, and if you miss the city life you're never more than a $50 flight to civilisation.

For a start Dire Straits are British, and another thing is they sound like any other Anglo rock band from that era. Britain, Australia, Canada and America have all shared and been inspired by eachother in terms of rock music. Britain and America being the two big players in this and it'll be these two countries which will have unique or standout sounds for certain bands.

A humongous fruit, perhaps?

What does it matter? Australia might have less culture but its a lot more recognizable and influential than other countries.

Anybody would recognize a dude dressed like a bush ranger as Australian. Show some dude dressed in traditional Cambodian culture and nobody but seasian would recognize it. And Cambodia has a lot more culture than Australia.

How much culture you have doesnt matter if you are too irrelevant to export it. Thats why "cultureless" places like Canada have recognizeable flags and clothes and food while culture-rich places like the baltics or central asia are complete unknown to most.

You can't call British influences foreign, they're your shared culture. We are one.

>>72748666
I don't, but at our core we try to be like everyone else.

Take former Minister for Education and Training Christopher Pyne. His plan to make Australia great was to follow the American model for university tuition. That's not unique here. We're possibly the last country in the world that still genuinely thinks the US is a model nation to follow.

You're the ultimate end goal of the leftist agenda, self-loathing and nihilistic and worse you want everybody else to be like that. We have people like you here too. And they say the exact same thing about Canadians in almost the exact same format.

>>72749366
Wouldn't the right wing agree? Rather than lie to ourselves about where our media and values come from, if we recognize they're largely American and British then we can start developing a standalone Australian identity.

The alternative is much worse. If you're willing to import everything about your nation, then your identity is built on loose ground and can be heavily influence by demographic changes.
