I have been saying this for years, but really Australia could live well if the rest of the world disappeared, magically. Just follow the thought experiment, if some Cartesian demon eliminated the people of the rest of the world, we would have food, water, resources to live as high, or higher, than now. Some bs tech we would not need because its aim is for globalism, but if we thought localist, and nationalist, we would never be globally humiliated by the likes of China. We would know freedom and national pride, instead of being worms.
