I’m from Australia, lived a decent portion of my life overseas in various countries, and traveled extensively (never lived anywhere more than a year in my life). I’ve always noticed Australians in general are very easy to get mad, take things the wrong way, etc. I’m constantly surprised by how many of my friends have so much loud hatred for things that seem so.. trivial? I’m constantly made fun of for being a “hippy” and “not caring about anything” because I prefer to always try stay positive and as stress-free as possible. Of course this is a vast generalisation, but it’s purely my experience and something I’ve distinctly noticed too, and I agree it seems to be getting worse. I don’t think the nations history has anything to do with it though. I don’t know where it started but I think it’s just a cultural thing that spreads like most cultural things.
