The nation state is everything that's wrong with the world.

@@kaczynski2333 No, it is the people dont respecting there is nation states that is wrong with the world.

Compared to other countries, we get a pretty good deal here. I served in the military, with a view to keeping things fair for all. I don't neccesarily agree with all of our governments choices, but in the grand scale of things it's one of the better places to be.

Yeah its bad if they stop leaking, means they have run out. I have a 4x4 gs as well.

@@TheAussieRepairGuy 😆👍

I've been married to an american for over 10 years, even she cringes at that patriotisim. I don't always put flags up, but when I'm around other ex-serviceman it helps to get along.

Some peoole take objection at times, I've had a few vandalised. At a caravan park, I like to get a feel for the other guests first.

There's a wide variance of personalities and perspectives in both countries. The "cringe" part is when excessive enthusiasm is combined with a narrow viewpoint. As Australians we are bombarded with american content, much of it does not translate well culturally.

To add an example, capitol riots guy with the horns would be viewed as cringeworthy, much like someone here with a VB cape and aussie flag running topless down the main street of melbourne advocating for pauline hanson. But perspectives vary as I said.
