Hello, Veeky Forums. Today I post a thread to share my evidence that the Australians are the true villains of Modern History, and are responsible for every major conflict since Australia's federation up until the early 1980s. It is important to note that such a theory has gained no traction as it seems so ludicrous, but the truth is stranger than fiction.
>Australian culture & identity is in it's nature innately criminal and has been from it's inception.
Despite what historians claim, it doesn't matter if there were more free settlers than convicts at the time of federation, they assimilated and adopted the criminal culture.
>Prior to the 1980's, the Australian culture valued three main things. Strength, combat & a fair go. The fair go, in it's nature wasn't really a fair go in the true sense of a word. If anything it's a classic case of tall poppy syndrome, and this syndrome along with the Australian respect of strength & combat would lead the nation on a unstoppable path of destruction and war.
>A group of fanatics, hell bent on furthering the interests of Australia that formed shortly after federation, came to prominence in the 1910s, notable members were Frank Tudor (Australian MP, Leader of the Labour party), Billy Hughes (Australian Prime Minister during WW1).
>Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria visited Australia in 1893, during this trip he was accompanied by Billy Hughes, who was only a year away from entering politics. According to letters between Billy Hughes & his friend Frederick Richard Jordan, who would become Sir Frederick Richard Jordan, 9th Chief Justice of NSW & the 17th Lieutenant Governor of NSW he described Franz Ferdinand as a weak & self indulgent cretin, and wrote that if the old countries were ruled by such people, then the old countries deserved to burn. The Australian Museum in Sydney is currently in possession of these letters.
