S2E1 Rude Britannia & Australian Values

There is a fantasy that very polite people hang desperately onto.

It is the pretence that what is so is not so—that the fortune; the titles; the servants and land; the privilege and status you enjoy, were not stolen by you or your murderous, barbarian ancestors . . .

and that what is not so, is so—that the world is cucumber sandwiches for tea; silk dresses; that the forelock tugging minions admire and respect you; and the divine right of robber barons.

This has been going on for many hundreds of years and it hides, masks, disguises and conceals the truth. It is the home of social deception of which we all are to some extent guilty.

But beneath the mannered courtesy, refinement and elegance is the stinking river of malignity in which we bathe. Because that is from where has grown our modern civilisation and unequal wealth.

We look at the polite world to find the barbarity that has bred and succoured us and the source of polite culture.

And we understand how Australia, Australian Values and Australians have mercifully escaped the worst of the bullshit culture of fake politeness.
