r/australia currently in meltdown and peak levels of cope as the right wing party will probably win the election.

Just look at this shit.
Somebody made a fucking cake of ALP (the left wing party): https://www.reddit.com/r/australia/comments/bq2e54/a_special_cake_for_a_special_night_3/
jesus christ
for those who don't know, heres a bit of background. r/australia is the most out of touch sub on reddit. no exaggeration. they think the liberals (centre-right neoliberals) are fascists, and the green party (think AOC but less retarded) is really popular amognst all age groups (spoiler: nobody but progressives and old hippies vote for them).
now, exit polls initally showed the labour party (left wing, but not as far as the greens) were going to beat the liberal party.
e.g.
https://www.reddit.com/r/australia/comments/bq1c44/galaxy_exit_poll_5248/
with some juicy quotes like: "Great news. Hopefully the margin is even larger than that."
"I’d actually like to see the Greens get more seats to show govt and the rest of the world that Australia takes climate change seriously."
"please be accurate"
cope here too: https://www.reddit.com/r/australia/comments/bpzb40/victorian_liberal_candidate_argued_against/
and https://www.reddit.com/r/australia/comments/bprsst/final_ipsos_state_2pp_polling_nsw_vic_qld_wa/
eg "Jesus WA.
That's what a bunch of bogans in hi-vis being force-fed Sky News in their mess rooms leads to."
and "On behalf of WA:
I'm so fucking sorry :("
basically r/australia is full of chapotards so yeah lmao dude upside down lmao

The only point you'll ever have is that you represent the sad, fedora-wearing, bloated face of capitalism in the 21st century.
Unfairly made famous and rich through copied ideas and appealing to kids. And yet is driven by some bizarre need for attention to spout insane, teenage edge lord style views. You are clearly not all that up on politics (or anything, maybe you can code?) yet your wealth has given you an oversized platform of confused 12 to 16 year olds to yell "sjwjjwjwj" at over and over again.
Honestly, I don't give a shit if you've been driven mad by fame or some bullshit. When I see amazing creative people dying depressed in poverty every day and you get to sit on twitter and make half assed 'now yur the nazi' comments, it's fucking sickening.

She started yelling and swearing at me and I slammed the door on her. I’m so distressed right now I don’t know what to do. I didn’t mean to do that to my mum but I’m literally in shock from Antony today. I feel like I’m going to explode. This can’t be happening. I’m having a fucking breakdown.

If this election has taught me anything about people, it's taught me that they won't let anything get between them and their riches.
The planet will die.
The diversity and the creatures and the life will diminish and rot.
I had hope last election for our planet. I had hope when this day began.
Now I don't.
The liberals don't give a flying fuck about animals, the environment, or the planet, and apparently people are willing to toss nature in the bin for a tax cut.
I don't hate the liberals, but I love nature, and I can't remain an optimist after this. I'll keep doing my part, but I give up believing in people.

Yeah I’m not a ‘stralian but from the wiki it seems like it’s been a shitshow for over a decade

1 trump_banged_ivanka 2019-05-18
Because both parties are still very centric. The current Conservative party legalised gay marriage after they put it to a poll.
1 allendrio 2019-05-18
They only put it to a poll because they honestly though there was a "silent majority" that was seething about those gays.
1 trump_banged_ivanka 2019-05-18
Should have just kept ignoring it like every other responsible government does
1 liquidtension 2019-05-18
I don't think that's true. They saw the writing on the wall, and it allowed them to do what they knew Australians wanted without pissing off their core vote because they can say they abided with a plebiscite. They were mostly concerned with pushing the more right wing voters to minor parties if they were seen as betraying their interests. This came after Bernardi launched the Australian conservatives and One nation had a resurgence.

In Australia everyone, whether you're 20 or 80, has the boomer mentality. I'd argue Australia is the most conservative Anglo country in the world, maybe outside of the US on some issues, we don't care about Christfaggotry or the gays but they do care about illegal migrants.
1 Wheretheflowersgrew 2019-05-18
Conservative as a whole? Nah, I'd still put America ahead.
1 Dramacel1 2019-05-18
You're right, if say Australia is conservative, but not ideological about it (don't care about Chesitfaggotry for example), our migrant system would be called Nazism in the US and make even Republicans blush.

Australians are very confused people because they live upside down. The current conservative government is responsible for recent legalisation of gay marriage and the highest record of immigration on record (mostly from China and India).

my good an unironic boomer brain calling others a bootlicker, the irony is so painful im going to have to pop a fenatyl.
The gas tax was a law that was passed because the french government wanted to cut carbon emissions, i will put it in terms you probably understand, harry potter has magical documents that force people to do things, there are also non magical documents that do nothing but look nice and say thing like "i promise to cut carbon emissions" the paris accord was the latter.

"Our voters" = a small number of people genuinely struggle. The majority are really quite comfortable, just cant live the instagram lifestyles theyd like to.
Australia is cashed up as fuck. All you have to do is be willing to move out of inner cities and there are high paying jobs for anyone. Companies are hiring from overseas because they literally can't fill positions.
We have comprehensive social welfare, albeit you will survive, not thrive on it.
People are upset they cant buy houses in the 3 biggest capital cities and my heart weeps for them when housing near where most of the available work is, is cheap and often supplied by the employers.
There are genuine tragic tales and some people really need more help. But it's always watered down by middle class woe.

This is some quality satire
1 overyourdeadbody 2019-05-18
This is interesting. Do you have a source? An article or something I could go about? Thanks.

Well Kazakhstan is the greatest country in the world.

No it wasn’t lol
Why are there so many delusional people in here?

I live in Australia and have never voted Libs but the ALP want to put us into so much debt so had no choice really
1 BriefSquirt 2019-05-18
one nation all the wayyyy
1 Zyzz_4655 2019-05-18
The way I see it you either vote labor and liberals because the minor parts won’t get a say
1 BriefSquirt 2019-05-18
well occasionaly other parties DO win, like centre alliance got a seat, greens occasionally get seats etc. but pretty rare.
​
senate youve got a chance of getting smaller parties in though
1 pie_throwaway 2019-05-18
bruh you realise that debt literally quadrupled under libs right?
Imagine owning your own economy to own the labs
1 allendrio 2019-05-18
I wouldnt call the liberals center right, steady diet of murdoch and coal lobbying has turned them into republicans but without the religious fundamentalism.
1 ImJustaBagofHammers 2019-05-18
Why did this happen though?
1 allendrio 2019-05-18
murdoch is australian, he controls the media pretty strongly to steadily boomerize the population.
1 SQLerection 2019-05-18
Aussie boomers practically live off Sky News.
1 allendrio 2019-05-18
he also controls most of the papers and all the non murdoch stuff isnt even left wing its "lets give both sides a go" so the boomer usually wins the arguments because they just shout about shit really loud.
1 zhcyiDnein 2019-05-18
Sky news is owned by News Corp.

1 Obstinateobfuscator 2019-05-18
That is such a weak argument. Anyone who holds different opinions to you must be vapid and brainwashed.
If that's what you need to think in order to sleep at night, more power to you.
1 Helter_SkeIter 2019-05-18
Cope. This is like Trump crying about fake news lmao
1 allendrio 2019-05-18
If you unironically claim murdoch doesnt control the media to have a boomer narrative then you are probably boomerized.
1 KittehDragoon 2019-05-18
Because Labor is always talking about taxing things that your composite Liberal voters likes to they too will have one day.
20 years ago it was private school fees. 10 years ago it was power stations and chemical plants. This time it was tax credits on shares.
1 zhcyiDnein 2019-05-18
Resident Ausfag here — currently watching the elections unfold on tv. For our international friends who don’t follow Australian politics (and tbh why would you if you aren’t a fellow ausfag) I’ll fill in a few details.
There’s probably going to be a lot of COPE because of these results. A lot of labor (left) party supporters were really looking forward to a victory, because the liberal (right) party has been so autistic lately. However, as of right now, the ABC (Australia’s main news channel) is projecting a liberal party victory.
Personally I’m a somewhat indifferent left-leaning voter, and all the people I spoke to at the polls were literally on the verge of tears at the thought of a liberal victory.
Even though my preferred party may not form a government, I can rest easy knowing that the value of Australian Drama Coin has gone up in global markets, thanks to the COPE of my political peers.

1 fistacorpse 2019-05-18
I got drunk instead of going to vote today. The $80 fine that I will get is merely the price of radical centrism.
1 zhcyiDnein 2019-05-18
It’s only $20. Go open a tab with that $60 you just saved.
1 Dramacel1 2019-05-18

1 CuntNiggerFuckWhore 2019-05-18
A fine for being drunk?
1 fistacorpse 2019-05-18
Ye, I was drinking at home lol
Voting in Australia is mandatory and you get a fine if you don't vote.
1 Wheretheflowersgrew 2019-05-18
Only if you register and dont have a valid excuse.

Fined for not voting WTF
"Give us your support or pay the consequences, peasant."
1 fistacorpse 2019-05-18
Well, you can cast a blank or invalid vote (which is called a donkey vote) and that's fine. They only fine you if you don't turn up to vote at all.
1 tripp_hs123 2019-05-18
They do not fine you for not voting for a specific party just if you do not vote at all for anyone.
1 CuntNiggerFuckWhore 2019-05-18

This is so good. I always see r/Australia hit r/All and its always shitting on Liberal. Now they're going to seethe and we get to watch.
Personally, as an Australian, I've lost hope in either party. One is owned by the banks and big business while the other is owned by Chinese billionaires. Shorten is little more then a union thug who likes his fancy dinners with billionaires. Sco-mo and his party are nothing short of inept.
In light of this advancement, I'd like to share some pretty funny political tiffs we've had.
Previous PM calling opposition leader a sycophant:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pOcU8dHtgw
Gillard giving it to Abbot for misogyny:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihd7ofrwQX0
There's a couple more but I forget.
1 BriefSquirt 2019-05-18
anything tony abbot does or is involved in makes him look like a retarded fuckwit and therefore is hilarious.
​
also yeah i voted for literally every other party than lib/alp/greens just hoping ANYONE else would get in lmao
1 AnyoneButObama2012 2019-05-18
What were the elections for? Isn't Daddy Xi already the president of the Southern China province?
1 HarryD52 2019-05-18
Great overlord Xi likes to let us still hold mock elections so that we can be angry at people who aren't our glorious Chinese overlords.

1 Tom_Myers_Agent 2019-05-18
True, thanks for sparing with me.
1 MotherOfLore 2019-05-18
I think everyone tries to be a good person, they just get a bit confused. However, this has been tested by the cartoonishly evil behaviour by the alt-right. I just don't understand it.

1 PraisePerun 2019-05-18
How the fuck am I supposed to know
1 Stacybcrazy 2019-05-18
By knowing what you’re talking about before speaking anyway. It’s very typical of the right.
1 TomatoShock 2019-05-18
Holy shit they're even doing the "I'M MOVING TO CANADA" shtick but with NZ. That's hilarious.
1 BriefSquirt 2019-05-18
I would vote in a party that deported all wokecels to nz tbh
1 mik3 2019-05-18
That's hilarious considering how there's an election here this October and it is definitely going to go right wing because nearly everyone off reddit hates Trudeau.
1 Wheretheflowersgrew 2019-05-18
Australian citizens can move to NZ and get welfare, it doesnt work the other way though.
1 RochelleH 2019-05-18
Yes, and they should fucking do it. We have a joint residency agreement with NZ. Both nationalities have the right to live and work in the other country... Which makes these kinds of comments even more ridiculous than the Americans saying they want to move to Canada. We Australians can just up and move to NZ tomorrow.
...Yet Australia is full of Kiwis, and NZ is not full of Aussies.
I've got nothing against NZ, but economically and employment-wise, Australia is the far better place to live. These people making comments about moving to NZ and not immediately doing it just makes them look even more idiotic.
1 RochelleH 2019-05-18
Australian here, and for a whole year for downvotes for anything that isn't wildly pro-greens and pro-Labor, or for any questioning of actual economics and logistics behind two parties that promise the sky and stars without saying how it will be financed, today is the one day I can feel some redempmtion and a giant "fuck you" watching that fucking useless, out of touch shitshow of a Circlejerk sub melt the fuck down.
What a beautiful day.
1 zhcyiDnein 2019-05-18
Cheers to that.
1 BriefSquirt 2019-05-18

There are a lot of fun minor parties:
1 The_Reason_NaMo_Won 2019-05-18
Wait for 23rd May when Indian general elections will be announced. You will see even bigger cope on r/india.
1 BriefSquirt 2019-05-18
which party will piss off that sub the most so i know who to support?
1 The_Reason_NaMo_Won 2019-05-18
BJP. The name Narendra Modi is more than enough to make them reeeee. They equate him to Daddy while in reality he is opposite to him. That sub ironically sing praises of Congress, the party responsible for almost genocide of Sikhs and several communal riots.
23rd is gonna be so much fun on Reddit when you will see thousands of galaxy brains reeeing at worldnews.
1 ChevalBlancBukowski 2019-05-18
ya but /r/India never makes the front page unlike /r/Australia so the drama will be less
1 The_Reason_NaMo_Won 2019-05-18
The drama will be on r/worldnews where they have same mod team like r/india.
And if by any ultra rare chance that BJP loses, it will be r/indiaspeaks that will be on suicide watch.
