That Pakistani guy that he livestreams with seems like a power level or two above him though.
That guy should just make his own videos instead of being a background character on a NeoLib's Parasocial relationship simulator.

Australia as a nation has the roots in its Identity as a Third/Fourth world periphery of the British empire whose purpose was to explicitly remove rebellious populations from the UK's own internal/Fourth world periphery's of places like Ireland and to a lesser extent the other Celtic nations and use them for what amounted to mass agricultural slave labour in (literally) the global south, In order to compensate the British burghers (Capitalists making their money primarily from private agriculture) for the loss of America which had previously served a similar purpose.
From this we can extrapolate that uprisings such as the Castle-Hill rebellion, Bathurst rebellion and Phenomena such as the Bushrangers up until Eureka weren't 'PATRIOTS SAYING NO TO THE BIG GUBERMINT' like how the Libs have desperately tried to paint it in the last few years, Or Lumpen-proletarianism but were basically slave uprisings and slave escapes.
After Eureka Australia more or less remained a Third-World periphery of the British Empire with its population mainly transforming into Urban proletariat and paid proletariat agricultural workers. Until 'ownership' More or less transferred to America after the events of the Whitlam Prime-Ministership.
Obviously we could also consider ourselves 'second world' (semi-peripheral) in the present tense as we do have the capability to perform imperialism onto other third world nations, which we do act on. But i believe as the US empire crumbles and the 'real' third world (as of this point in time) continues to develop, the US will likely become more brutal towards their 'five-eyes allies'

>>481319apparently this was once a common line of communist analysis for australia/nz's economy as a colonized part of the british (and perhaps later American?) empire, i think as late as the 1960s and maybe even 1970s, before it became more popular to self-flagellate for being first world.
perhaps also due to Vietnam, where both joined America on the bad side.unfortunately i don't remember the Australian analysis so well - the NZ one had an interesting little revival in the 1980s when there were some who thought it would head in the same sort of direction as Argentina, always caught in a crisis because they had to import fuel and manufactured goods to produce their agricultural exports, but as the value of agricultural products fell while the value of fuel and manufactures stayed steady they'd face constant crises and devaluation because they kept having to pay more for the same result each time, despite having less money to do so year-on-year.

>>481319My family migrated to Australia to mine gold - they came by choice, not as prisoners. They saw an opportunity to have a better life working on the land than in the slums of the UK.
How does that fit into this analysis?

Lmao Based Biden.

Forgetting ScoMo's name.
And now fucking up a NeoLiberal trade deal in the process.

Being the victim of an abuse of reserve powers of the GG seem like an advantage if anything.
The Australian people consistently voted for the liberals for nearly 25 years prior to Whitlam and that economy was tanking (thought this was not all of his fault) with inflation tripling while unemployment rose.
