He don't no speako no Eigo

Yeah and they don't pay it in the usa and they shouldn't. I wouldn't want to loose 75% of my wealth. So they invest it in stock instead of spending. When they do spend it they move the investment oversea's and sell it there

So what's our disagreement, I'm not sure

that the wealthiest people per cap is from singapore because of their tax's

And i can hardly find anything about their policies. It seems like it's a information black out on them

Morning all

@Ethreen42 G'day cunt

Isn't Singapore highly authoritarian?

They have little to no freedom of speech afaik

They have no freedom, correct.

i don't know. Honestly noone talks about them. Hardly any information or studies.

Reminder that New Zealand is Australian land and that only Anglo Celtic people are real aussies

nz isn't australian land. i'm australian

Ah yes, that reminds me of the **Democratic People's Republic of Korea** where everything's great and people are happy and no one commits any crime and all that.

@Kingy200 wrong but ok

Who in their right mind puts Singapore in second place on the freedom index

Must be some liberal arts student who doesn't know the difference between fascism and a pot of tea

nz is their own country recognized by the international stage. They also killed thousands of people when they tried to colonize their lands (way back). They have their own constitution which australia doesn't

the index is based on tax and freedom in market

So it's basically a meaningless index then if it doesn't account for non-economic policies

New Zealand is a Anglo-Celtic nation state that unfortunately didn't become a state in 1901, it should of and incorporating it should be a foreign policy goal for Australia

Freedom of market does account for economic policies?

Should Australia annex nz?

By force?

nz is considered our little brother? that should be enough to explain the relationship

by force? probably not because that would result in a rise of New Zealand nationalism and anti-Australian sentiment, preferably they should be incorporated peacefully through referendum

America should just annex both Australia and New Zealand

That's never going to happen. The cultures are different. The only way that would ever happen if it was by force

Yeah America annexing Australia will never happen, New Zealand being annexed though, that's possible

of course the most likely future for Australia right now is to be colonized and become a de facto puppet state of China

it's never going to happen bro. The cultures are different. You think a little brother wants to walk in the same foot steps as their big brother?

Australia is already owned by china

"it's never going to happen bro." extreme doubt, people said the same thing about Federation

What if nick Fuentes takes over America? What if he annexes the world?

people often forget that in some states most Australians opposed Federation as late as the 1870s and 80s

it only took 2-3 decades for opinion to shift from anti-federation to pro-federation

the culture of Australia and New Zealand aren't really all too different, the culture of Melbourne and the culture of rural WA has more differences then Australia and NZ

the right to have guns more than 60% of nz agree with. that's a big difference. even tho it is illegal now. only 30% of people actually gave in their weapons

by the time nz even would make a more like what you're suggesting the west wouldn't even look like what we know it to be today.
