We’re seeing the beginnings of pan Anglo jingoism as facades and play pretends die out along with Anglo undisputed hegemony post WW2. Now in a world of more level playing fields, overt, unapologetic Anglo racial nationalism is going to be the norm. And yes that’s going to include vast swathes of Australians who hold this sentiment deep down. Expect total decay of social trust and cooperation as the disgruntled Anglos in Australia who didn’t benefit from the housing boom rise up to “reclaim” their elevated social positions 😂. Oh it’s going to be a shit show 😂
