australia is 'rehabilitated'.

the u.s. is run by repeat offenders.

USA 🤝AUS

Indigenous genocide

The US was actually founded through a proxy war funded by the French.

Most of those 'crimes' were just... being too poor to pay their debts. Shipping off the poor made England look better.

The 'criminals' of Aus are, at least in this respect, my brothers.

Shit, At this point we need the tax evader gang to rise up. Like wtf am I even paying federal taxes for at this point?? I live in a deep blue state for a reason and every opportunity to remove federal funding is being taken against us here, I’ve been kicked off my disability benefits (I have cystic fibrosis and I’m post lung transplant with debilitating PTSD from both) I also happen to be a woman who’s country is actively disenfranchising her, yet I’m paying federal taxes? For what?? No taxation without representation and I’m sure as fuck not being represented

Still better than a country run by criminals.

At least they didn't elect a pedophile to their highest office...

The taxes were a small reason. Big reasons were continuing slave owning and genociding the indigenous population.

Australia is our cool, and weird, brother. Canada is our little brother that's sick of our bullshit. England is the father we've all disappointed but has to rely on because he's too old to rule the world anymore. And we're the kid that had a semi-promising start, but got into drugs and crime and is now a mob boss.

My country was founded by "Please, Mr. Big Empire, please stop hitting me!"

(I'm Romanian. We've been invaded by everyone. Interestingly enough, never by the British Empire. You'd think we wouldn't miss that one. Bit odd, innit?)

There was criminal colonies all over the British empire

A lot of rich Brits also colonised Australia after the basic infrastructure was there

I like how you have no idea that the territories of the us looked very different when it was the 13 colonies

We had to go to war--those tea prices were outrageous!

Yeah, aka rebels who stood up to the bourgeois. Look out, mate, or we'll pull a bush ranger on ya.

Georgia was a penal colony as well

Great Britain actually sent a lot of criminals over here.

West Virginia should be red as well
