Probably South Africa - all the asshole Aussies that I’ve met were originally from South Africa.

While I see what you're driving at, and there are a lot of assholes from SA (usually of the caucasian persuasion), no.

I'm talking about Aussies from 'stralia.

My daughter's boyfriend is from Australia.  He's here on a visa with his parents, who have all been here for eight years.  They were big BLM supporters.  His older brother graduated from Tech two years ago and went to work for Schlumberger.  He went back to Australia to visit and they wouldn't let him back into the U.S. I'm expecting them all to be deported any day now.

I’ve run across several whose families moved from South Africa to Australia as apartheid fell apart. That’s a special bunch of assholes.

No doubt.

Every SA white person I've ever met just needs the barest of excuses to go full throated defense of apartheid.

I'd rather hang out with the SA Indian diaspora folks.  At least they know how to cook and carry on a decent conversation.

They may get to them, but we've seen their priorities...

Este.  I lived in Australia in 94, when a lot of the white SA were immigrating as apartheid fell. Every white SA is 3 beers away from saying racist things so vile it would make someone from South Carolina blush.

The SA white people are back in government for the first time since Apartheid now that the Democratic Alliance is in coalition with the ANC. So I guess the ones who remained behind have reconciled themselves to some extent.

The one who left probably left for a reason.

lol Prop 13 is wild. 

 

I looked up my grandparents home in San Luis Obispo, and it's worth 1.37 million, and the taxes paid on that in 2024 was $1,520. When Grandma passed about 12 years ago, the home was given to her oldest son, who was over 65 at the time, and he was able to retain the cheap tax rate they had. He still lives there and gets to enjoy this silly system. 

You should not be able to inherit a tax rate, that is incredibly stupid.

Reminds me of Jim Jefferies (Aussie comedian for those who don't know him) description of a South African accent. 

"Many of you can't tell the difference between my accent and a South African accent.  Here's the difference... picture my accent, but I'm punching a black person"

South Africa is our absolute escape plan. There are areas around Durban that I would move to in a heart beat. Also, my company has an office in SA, so possible work opportunities.
It’s as far away from Russia and the US and I can get that is somewhere I’ve been.
