I think the only difference between Australia and Germany might be the vegan sandwich part of your post. Although, I probably wouldn't try to order the vegan option one in one of our cattle-farming towns... but they would just laugh and call me a city-person, which would be true.

This thread has made it very clear to me that yet again, despite languages and regions, we're experiencing the exact same issues and rhetoric. I suspect that's true globally.

I hope we can all find a way out of this mess soon.
