I prefer ANZAC day anyway
I have roughly 7 minutes before this post is over due.
Australia is one of the better countries in which to live. We take our freedom from danger for granted in a world where daily, citizens of other countries such as Sri Lanka, East Timor and Sudan are faced with appalling violence and terror. For this we must be grateful.
This is the kind of sentiment that, while valid, really helps opiate us against perfecting our own society. While we may have a human responsibility to improve the lot of other people, we really can’t allow that to distract us from cleaning our own nest first.
I’m sure that those conservatives who are taking an active interest in Australia’s politics relish the idea that we jump up and down about other nations’ misfortune. Lambast me for suggesting a conservative conspiracy as much as you want, I’m not really all that convinced myself. My point here is that we can’t let our own country go to shit because we’re too busy being grateful we aren’t somewhere else.
Also, penis.
