You misunderstand my post. Pay attention.Why are you here then?
Simply asking people if they consider themselves a separate nation isn't the proof for whether they are in fact a separate nation.

I'm not "asking" anyone because that's not a sensible metric for anything. I'm applying a broad criteria for what constitutes a nation state.
You seem to have sympathy for indigenous folks declaring themselves a separate nation along racial/ethnic/tribal lines.
Would you have similar sympathy for a bunch of white Australian bogans in Cronulla doing the same?
We had a White Australia policy. Do you support that kind of ethnonationalism?

Must be ... tho in my defence I haven't learnt gibberish yet.Omg are you that thick!
1) a defined territory, 2) a permanent population, 3) a government and 4) a capacity to enter into relations with other states.No, I understood your post.
That is your point of view - and that is a 'sensible metric'
Why are you assuming I sympathise with it just cos I acknowledge it?No, but he sympathises with han chinese ethno nationalism because he stands for being woke and edgy thats it.
Is there a distinction? You consider that kind of declaration to be a valid assertion of nation status?Why are you assuming I sympathise with it just cos I acknowledge it?
Excuse me? What’s my “attitude “? This is straight from the ABC.If attitudes like yours are typical of your club (and they certainly seem like it) its no wonder the only indigenous player you lot have had in decades is JUH. If youse don't change your ways he'll be out the door at the first opportunity.
Nations and states are two different things. A nation state is a state with the ability to broadly identify with a nation. but a nation isn't necessarily a state. This isn't a controversial definition either, its pretty well accepted.I'm not "asking" anyone because that's not a sensible metric for anything.

That's not "my point of view". That's international law. It's the declarative theory of statehood under the 1933 Montevideo Convention.
Or do you think any group of people that simply declares themselves a nation automatically becomes a nation? We should just ask them and that's all that matters?
Just pause for a second and take a deep breath before you say something stupid.

And if these knuckleheads declared themselves a breakaway nation would you be on board with that?Nations and states are two different things. A nation state is a state with the ability to broadly identify with a nation. but a nation isn't necessarily a state. This isn't a controversial definition either, its pretty well accepted.
I've got a mate who was a 'Bra Boy and is probably still affiliated with them. Not from Cronulla but close enough to what you are getting at. I don't object to that stuff unless it starts down the road to ethnic cleansing.
And presumably we should reject that kind of ethnonationalism.My dad was black and arrived here during the White Australia policy. He couldn't become a citizen until it ended.
What standard do you propose for the establishment of a nation? Simply saying so?You're talking about a state, but not necessarily a nation.
International law is now simply a "point of view".Sorry mate you are putting forward a point of view, quaint as it is.
Agreed. That's why we have international law.It ain't up to you mate, settle down with your preciousness.
Agreed. That's why we have international law.
Consider how dumb your position must be that you have to renounce international law to defend it.

You've done your dash.Why are you so angry, just pointing out that you have a point of view....chill enjoy it stop with the cheap shots. I read your posts and think jeeez he knows his law, knows what he is talking about - interprets is so well must know their jurisprudence. We are very lucky to have the insight provided by your posts.
You've done your dash.
What's the difference between the Bundjalung nation and the Bra Boys becoming a nation?Breakaway nation implies they will be creating a separate state and all the associated institutions. Its not gonna happen for the Bra Boys. Bundjalung might be in a position to do it. Some of their institutions still exist.
Could I as a white fella show up to the Bundjalung nation and become a citizen?One that uses excluisivity as the basis for discrimination? Sure.
That's too general to be meaningful.This is the generally accepted definition of a nation:
A nation is a group of people who share the same culture, history, language or ethnicity.
That's "or" not "and". So it doesn't have to be all of those things. (Obviously or the "ethno" in ethnonationalism would be redundant.)
So yeah, basically saying so.
Do you sympathise with gravity?Is there a distinction? You consider that kind of declaration to be a valid assertion of nation status?
No?
That's a dumb analogy. Gravity is physics. Which part of your nebulous criteria for nation status is physics?Do you sympathise with gravity?

Under that definition, the Bra Boys are absolutely eligible to declare themselves a nation and you'd presumably consider the assertion legitimate?
You are getting confused.That's a dumb analogy. Gravity is physics. Which part of your nebulous criteria for nation status is physics?
What does that mean?Effectively? Their ability to maintain themselves.
How would I qualify for Bundjalung citizenship?If you just rocked up? Of course not. Did you miss the bit about sharing something? Something cultural, historical or maybe you've been exposed to their language and it genuinely moves you.
What a load of rubbish. This renders the term meaningless.Of course its legitimate. They aren't a state but they do control some territory. I dunno if they are an official micronation but it could apply informally. If they made that assertion. AFAIK they haven't.
I don't recall saying Chinese ethnonationalism didn't exist.You are getting confused.
Gravity exists. So does Chinese ethnonationalism. Acknowledging they both exit is not the same as sympathising with them.
