Saw this at the supermarket right next to a $24 magazine called "ChatGPT: Start your own business!"

Things are getting bleak. Hopefully in the future the only time we see shit like this is in history books showing propaganda during the fall of capitalism

It's the one benefit of the average australian "not caring about politics" I think.

No one seems to like diversion from a very basic centrism. Maybe it's more of that tall poppy syndrome

I've always thought Tall Poppy was a false diagnosis. We fucking love success. What we don't like is the appearance of trying to be successful. Our grifter heroes tend to grift the rich, not become rich through grifting.

I'd say what we want is the appearance of being successful without effort but Sprezzatura is an awfully wanky concept to load the Australian cultural psyche with.
