Australia's Woke Mind Virus

Australia is depicted as increasingly vulnerable to what is referred to as the 'woke mind virus,' contradicting the laid-back, irreverent image often associated with the country. This susceptibility is attributed to a cultural proclivity for authoritarianism, where Australians have historically shown a willingness to accept strong leadership, particularly during crises like COVID-19. The conversation highlights a misconception that Australians resist authoritarianism; rather, it suggests the culture’s openness to such ideologies has paved the way for wokeism to take root. This signals a departure from traditional values, as the country faces challenges associated with recent shifts in immigration and identity politics.
