With Trump v1 I hoped Australia's eternal arse kissing of America
might become at least a bit less blind. Nope, still with 'em all the
way. Same this time no doubt - Australian intelligence agencies will
be the last ones to stop sharing every little scrap of info they get
on anyone to the USA where they officially don't give a stuff about
the rights of any Australian. Trump will keep the deal to sell us
nuclear subs going, but that won't actually happen until after he's
long gone anyway (out of office, and probably also died of old age by
then).

Sweden is also turning into a surveillance state as well, so maybe this

Australia or Sweden. About 35 years ago I was more or less living off the
grid and got talking to a man at the laundromat who was in the same
situation. I'd been interested in Australia for a long time. It turned out
he had returned to the US after living there for several years. According
to him no matter how much freedom the US had lost Australia was much
worse.

This would be my idea of australia today. I thought about moving there 15 years ago or so, but in the end didn't.
