Australia. I grew up there, spent quite a few years abroad working and eventually got not “home sick”, but wanted to be with my people. Returned in 2010 and it slowly got worse year over year to the point I can’t even tell you what Aussie culture is any more other than gambling on the #HousingPonzi and demanding to be governed harder.
Covid was a massive degradation, suddenly the Karens were fully emboldened and apparently in charge of society which was completely at odds with what I thought the culture was.
Then I remember going to the mall 2 years ago and I couldn’t recognise it. There were maybe 5-6 white people there amongst a thousand Indians and Chinese. Couldn’t even walk around the mall because those people all walk on the right whereas Aus walks on the left; something so basic that you literally are a foreigner in your own country when you are so outnumbered that basic social norms are being reversed and you’re metaphorically swimming against the tide.
