What do you dislike the most about your own nation?

[Teutone]

What's your opinion of the National Socialists?

Insane euthanasia practising, mass killing and eugenic fanatics that tried to overthrow the old order of Germany as much as communists would do.
They perverted the right-wing philosophy of the conservative revolution.

But some things were objectively better than Weimar and BRD.

Its just something I rather not talk about due to possible legal issues.

Still the ultimate and pure order of Germans was the German Empire.

So how would you distribute votes and based on which criteria?

If at all a democracy, then this f. i.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prussi...lass_franchise

But there are plenty of possibilities and I don't want to derail the thread.

-Too much apathy, a lacksadaisical view about many important things, reflected in our politics.
- A lack of appreciation for high (European) culture among the general populace. Related to the the more recent lack of appreciation for our British/European heritage.
-Cultural Cringe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_cringe
-The general PC anti-white rubbish and 'multiculturalism' that is pervasive in every Western country is also in place here, in recent years we are expected to worship Abo's and their 'culture', while forgetting or vilifying our own history/heritage.
-The media/film industries here are a goldfish bowl, small cliques who pat themselves on the back a lot despite not being very talented. Australian films in recent years have poor, the most talented people go to America early.
-In recent decades the culture has become highly Americanised, and it most of the influence these days is poison
-Foodwise: there is no distinct cuisine here, traditional Australian cuisine is mostly just a variant of standard British fare, and a little unadventurous. It's not really a complaint as I still like it, and the quality of food produce is excellent, best in the world. There is loads of ethnic foods to choose from anyway, authentic or otherwise.
-State organisation: the states are outdated entities, and have proven to be especially problematic during Covid, they have too much power compared to federal and local government
-Too much Asian immigration, an immigration ponzi scheme going for years, and an attempt to Asianise the country.
-Property prices are a joke, and always rising, in large part thanks to Chinese investors
-The government sold out to China for years, sold large tracts of land for China's use, and selling our uranium reserves and other natural resources, rather than developing our own industries efficiently
-Live export of animals to the Muslim world (I'd rather we send them poison)
-Art: Too much reverence for childlike Abo art, and of course Modern/postmodern art
-Architecture: same proliferation of soulless, ugly modern architecture as everywhere else. Although the traditional architecture in this country is beautiful.
-In terms of sport - Australians are good losers generally but terrible winners, really obnoxious
-The sense of humour and banter is a bit basic compared to British people, crudeness is often a substitute for wit. But Australians are more good humoured in general than the British, so I can't complain.
-'Australian nationalism' is a bit of a forced and empty thing of the last century, and especially when people incorporate 'multiculturalism' into it
-Most of the landscape of the country is ugly, barren, hot and dry. But being a continent we luckily have loads of beautiful places too, so no complaint.

Agree

I guess the general shallowness and laziness. People seem to care very little about religion, heritage, and quality. Consumerism of low-quality, foreign junk is rampant. Everything seems to revolve around what people own, how they appear to their friends, and what's most convenient. No one cares about morality and principle. I think these are modern problems that probably exist across the West, but that's what I hate most about America right now.

We are a new country and hence very susceptible to the pressure of capitalism and hedonism.

mentality/culture: Generally speaking, I can't stand the "woke" culture. There are no morals here anymore. We have slut walks, BLM/ANTIFA (was decent for maybe a week) Idolized secular social-lites, Extremely sensitive reactions to semi-controversial topics. I strongly oppose the mentality in Urban America.

work: We have an abundance of jobs and I appreciate that. If you have the work ethic, you can do well here. Our major issue is that welfare is way too easy to get, and a lot of Americans feel entitled.

state/organizations: Even though it's far from perfect, I feel like our country is pretty good in terms of political organization.

food&beverage: Aside from fast food, I like how diverse the cuisine is here. I'm sure a lot of it has been "Americanized" but it's nice to have so many options.

art: The Art here is a joke. Our museums are filled with paintings, sculptures etc, that were created by Europeans. What is done by Americans would be considered Modernism, Contemporary,etc. which tends to be secular or minimalist which I am not a fan of.

architecture: Other than old churches and barns, the U.S is filled with modernist/contemporary city structure buildings which I find to be boring for the most part.

That is an interesting thread, it is interesting to see you guys perspective on your countries.
What I dislike the most about my country Brasil :

- Violence.
- Misery and poverty of many.
- Economy heavily based in destroing our own land to plant soy or corn (for animal feed) or to irresponsable mining.
- Too much reliance on trucks for transport of goods and with that very dangerous roads.
- Sex as a strong cultural aspect.
- The auto depreciation of my fellow countrymen upon themselves and their country (sindrome de vira lata, the idea that brasilians are inferior to other people).

I have to disagree about American art. Our art may be more recent, but it is not bad. Norman Rockwell is a champ in my opinion. I'm no art aficionado, but I also remember learning about the Hudson River School of art, some really beautiful stuff. The same is true of a lot of our culture (music, literature, architecture). People don't think about how rich it is, but that's just because it's not what's being celebrated at the nadir of American civilization.
