Liberal folk are often more capitalist & upmarket than Conservatives. I can't stand 'liberals', honestly. Gimme a socialist over a liberal, any day. I don't mind working class Conservatives in Britain, as they just hate 'The Labour Party' and their wokeism, more than anything else. They don't like globalism either..
We get both types migrating here to the "antipodes" and I have worked socilaised with both types.
I've mentioned it before but liberal Brits who might have spent their 20s squatting in flats in London and being part of the alternative set end up becoming inner city bourgeoises in Melbourne and Sydney. Sipping caffe lattes and pretending to be better than everyone else.
But the working class conservatives who come to Australia become the Australian conservatives here in Oz. They very quickly assimilate into that mode because they were already hate immigrants, hate wokeism and want to create little Englands here
I personally find that even Conservatives in the UK are almost universally in favour of limited immigration, unless they are of the lower IQ variety, in which case they want to "send them all back" in some cases.
You cannot create a 'Little England' in the UK, because already, 15% of the population are 'people of colour'. Unless you are in a rural place outside of London - immigrants are everywhere & almost everyone accepts them for the most part (though they are still oppressed in terms of capitalist earning potential). It is 'normal' in the UK to talk to & socialise with persons of colour. I was exposed to immigration from a very young age. My primary school friends were mostly persons of colour.
Most people of colour I know are hilariously more racist than white people. I have been (jokingly) called a "f*****g cracker" and all kinds of things. A Muslim guy at university told me he genuinely thought Hitler was a good leader for white folk & I had to debate him and tell him he was wrong on that one.
Reality is a lot different from what is portrayed in the mainstream media, for the most part, in my experience.
It's mostly left-wing folk who are entitled and think they are 'better' in my experience. Especially hipsters.
They'll be like "yeah, but man, I have read like 3 books which say you are wrong about your lived experience, why are you so ignorant, maaaaaan."
"My beanie hat says you are wrong. Now buy me an expensive coffee or go away, you lowly brute."
