Let’s go literal shall we. Do you have issues with a place having multiple histories at once. Or are you too scared about there being more than something beyond “yours”.
campaigner brigades love to s**t on things to pretend that they are “free thinking” individuals. Funny thing is that they all slap each other on the back and reinforce thousands of years of racist unthinking hegemony
Dumb campaigners
Yeah nah. If one was to pass a law banning this petition it would clearly violate freedom of speech. If you don’t actually get that …it’s a bit sad. You can throw around the word cancelling as much as you want - but you’re not getting it.
But you’re entitled to continue not to get it and I’m...
People are entitled to their opinions but shouldn’t be untouchable for stating them. Freedom of speech is a conversation not a snowflake land for dumb bigots who want to say stuff loudly but can’t handle hearing responses.
A petition to get him off the Hall of Fame …is actually an exercise in...
These idiots love false equivalencies. Someone who is questioned about their views in a robust democracy (“cancelled”) somehow would be placed on the same level as your legitimate and concerning real consequence for someone just doing their job.
Maybe it’s not pushing - it’s keeping up with what the market wants - and precious right wing snowflakes see politics where others just see football engaging it’s market audience…
Is it possible that by saying the AFL should not engage it’s audience and increase its market share to the wider...

Work together to pick on gay people and non whites to overthrow democracy so they can stay rich

If you start with the premise that gender is a construct yes
If you accept that anatomical and chromosomal sex do not always fit strictly within a dichotomy of male and female …
then yes
If you’re a narrow minded ******* then no
You don't think things that have been in place over the last 70 years (both here and dare I say it in Israel where a nation state has since been created in in that time) are relevant to the plight of both sets of people? In the case of Indigenous Australians we are talking about removing...
Sorry - multiple misunderstandings (including GRRR's misunderstanding of my post). Internet forums are not always the best for understanding what people are saying.
Apologies
And there are actually countless examples of colonisers deliberately spreading disease anyway:

In fact, when compared to similar situations of oppressors leaving after centuries of rule ie Yugoslavia etc, Indonesia is actually pretty amazing. 250 Million people. Democracy. Multiple islands, religions, languages etc
I am constantly amazed by the relative success of Indoensia
(Still...
Yep - and the fact that Indonesia adopted Bahasa as the national language rather than the language of the dominant Javanese speaks volumes for the founding of the country being based on pluralism after years of Dutch oppression. And before this there are plenty of years of Buddhists, Hindus...
Your people ultimately got a leg up (compared to Indigenous Australians) by getting a country and a s**t load of military support from the most powerful nation on earth. And your argument eats itself when incorporating these facts. The past is indeed the past. Analysing the present is important...
