    I read “Emus” and thought “what the hell is an e-mus??”

    I am Australian.

    I think it’s worth saying that “hahaha australia is a dangerous place that wants to kill you” jokes are (subtle) colonial propaganda

    they depict australia as a wild, unlivable place to be tamed, a common colonial argument (the same was said of the american west), when the reality is it’s been inhabited for millennia

    (not blaming you OP, or anyone else who made those jokes btw, it’s not obvious that they’re colonial in nature)

      well at this point it doesn’t work because all it does is prop up Australians as badass people who deal with giant spiders and snakes like they’re mosquitoes while we scream when we see a cockroach. and since we’re not looking to tame Australia as new settlers anymore i don’t think there’s any harm to it today.

    To be fair it would probably have worked better if they let the farmers do it themselves.
