- Comment on How funny, right? 3 weeks ago:
No, that’s not what this is about.
It’s commenting on the fact that sometimes abuse survivors share traumatic stories as if they’re normal or even fun, when compared to a normal upbringing they’re actually incredibly depressing or traumatic stories/memories. Because to them, those stories were the normal seeming parts.
So sometines they’ll do this with no sense that it’s a traumatic story - because it’s far from the worst things they experienced.
When this happens, it has the mood of the two characters in this gif. So hope that explains it for you.

Way to make up a stawman quote I never said.
You’ll note that most of my comment was spent saying your deceptive, and have to twist words… So the fact you responded by fabricating a quote because you couldn’t find one, is hilarious.
But no, races don’t exist… Ethnicities do. Go look it up for yourself. There’s more genetic diversity within “darker skinned people from Africa” than there is between light skinned people (what you would call “white people”) and dark skinned people (whom you might call africans).
Race doesn’t exist, it’s not a scientific concept. Ethnicity does, because it’s a mix of culture, shared history, and appearance (and no, that’s not a euphemism for race because it includes how groups dress/behave), so no, “White people” isn’t a real race… But Finnish people exist as an ethnicity, Germans exist as an ethnicity, French people exist as an ethnicity…
They all have different cultures, languages, traditions, dances, customs. Things constructed culturally.
They all share superficial bodily characteristics (as do the rest of humanity)… But there’s no unified culture or country called “White”.
Like I said. There’s more genetic diversity between “African” ethnicities than there is between white people and “black” people. But you’re just doing an evaluation of people’s skin colour and how they look superficially amd saying that’s race. Go look up whether race is a scientifically valid concept. Go find the country of “White”… It’s not a thing.
The world has cultures, histories and ethnicities, not races.
Race is socially constructed not a scientific matter of genes and procreation, that would be genetics. That’s why albino indians are still ethnically indians. They’re nkt suddenly Finnish or German just because of sharing a skin colour.
Anyways, I’m sure you’ll misquote me then pretend a misinterpretation you put in quotes yourself is what I was saying…
… because like I pointed out earlier, no matter what I say you’re going to have to twist it. Because not only are you a believer in an outdated ideas of Racism (bloodlines and purity and what not, when in actual fact we all trace back to the same people), you also have to lie and construct strawman arguments out of desparation.
It’s not surprising you don’t knkw Australian history. You also still think race is a scientifically valid concept. You’re a liar, outdated, and ignorant of the facts, as expected.

Like imagine for a sec, being a little boy in the 70s and seeing this on the nightly news:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMaRuk6pGOc
…and you’re going to pretend some people don’t have a harder cultural background to come from, or weren’t living under the threat of castration for being a different colour. You’re doing white-victimhood, and denial of racism. Grow the fuck up, and learn about your country dumb ass.

That’s because of your political views that see you blame white people
No, your political views see that REGARDLESS of what I say, what links I provide to the Stolden Generations phenomena still being on going, legally quantified and RACIALLY MOTIVATED as recently as the 1970s your still going to pretend I’m claiming your were involved with that, or that all white people, are therefore to blame.
But you probably weren’t involved with it directly… You’re just denying that it would impact modern Aboriginal people and communities still… You’re saying “the victims we’re talking about - shouldn’t feel victimized by being, or having had relatives forcibly taken from their families.”
Your saying “nah, that’s ‘equality’ - they were treated equal.”
You’re preaching cultural ignorance of the impact history has on a people.
You’re being a fuckin Racist, and that’s why YOU voted no. Because you don’t know jack shit about Australia, which is why you’re pushing AMERICAN victimhood culture here.
You’re doing a claim to white victimhood and pretending it’s about all histories being equal. I was willing to talk to you, and give you the benefit of the doubt.
But I guessed right about you from the start when I said people jump to unjustified assertions, and that’s a trend on the right wing (particularly in America)… And now you’ve shown yourself as doing exactly that.
“We should ignor recent history because I’m a dumb ass and think no ones effected by it” -Dumb ass right wing Americans and this guy.
So it turns out, yes I do think you’re a racist now, and I do think the voice was about helping communities of RURAL Aboriginal people have more of a voice (hence the name) would have been a good thing.
I’m not a dishonest coward like you, I can look history and inequality in the face without pretending it’s some attack on “white people” (P.S that’s not a real race or country, there’s no natiin by that name) or a racial take over. Bizzare assumptions you’re hiding behind, just like you’re sweeping racism within living memory under the rug - pretending cultural difference have no modern effects on people.
It’s utterly dishonest bullshit… And yeah, I’m not going to spend my time talking to scum like you.

I never said you were racist, I joked about Aboriginal people showing up with a deed to your house.
You feeling blamed when I’m saying it’s a historical injustice, not a matter of modern theift, isn’t the same thing as me having blamed you.
I don’t even know you, you’re just some stranger on the Internet.
Pointing out this history of the country is just being honest. The people who can’t handle that are the ones being dishonest.
Anyways, if you need to lie and misrepresent the basic position if discussion, and the terms involved - I think that shows you’re not operating from reason.
So like I was saying, there was no reasonable case mafe by the No campaign during The Voice.
You feeling accused, isn the same as a reason, because reason operates on general and substantial facts, not mischaracterisations and tangential FEELINGS.
It’s normal to have feelings, so sorry you let yours cloud your judgement of the facts. In that particular case (and that alone as far as I can tell) you ARE guilty. Guilty of having a fragility on these issues.

No shit no one alive “did anything”*, it’s a euphemism for a part of history, it’s intended to impart a general understanding of the transaction in a brief amount of words that sums up events. It’s not intended to accuse modern people of litteral thieft.
It’s okay insecure white man, no mob is going to come a knocking with a deed to your property. They didn’t have a system of written language and your property didn’t exist.
That said there will still be people alive today who either were involved in the forced separation of Aboriginal children from their parents, and/or whose grandparents and so on were. Samantha Armitages family, and probably Gina Rhineharts… That’s part of the psychology of why some are paranoid on the issue.
Paranoia is by definition an irrational fear. The voice simply isn’t about reparations.
As for the idea it will give some racial groups more power than others - again this isn’t true because it wasn’t just about race. Does nothing for big city Aboriginal people for instance.
It was SPECIFICALLY about people from very remote Aboriginal communities who barely count politically and are unlikely to have any affect or contact with the PM otherwise. People who can’t just mount a protest in a capital city.
So it was about addressing a disadvantage caused by distance, cause by just how large Australia is.
So nah, addressing the unfortune of being a small community that goes ignored isn’t a function of over powering them or risking racial supremacy.

Terminator 6, Jurassic Park 8… Just stop, no one is asking for these. They’re a product of Hollywoods monopolistic business model, a formula by which they know they can get X amount of nostalgia dollars and free advertising through name recognition.
Same thing (for much the same reasons) is starting to happen with videogame sequels too.
- Comment on If Australians knew the whole truth about Indigenous history, Lidia Thorpe’s royal outburst would not have been a shock | Celeste Liddle 4 weeks ago:
Rightwingers always have these stupid teleological arguments that just completely jump the gun to extreme “civilization ending” conclusion that are never ever not even once accurate or even remotely true and it looks dumb as dogshit ever single time.
Social welfare is Communism!
Gender equality will cause the fall of Rome!
Immigration is white genocide!
…And what’s this, a new contender; the Yes vote was explicitly going to create a racial supremacist society!
No, the PM would just have to listen to some Aboriginal leaders now… Wouldn’t have to agree, or do what they said. Just he’d be mandated to every now and then, listen to the people we stole the country from.

There wasn’t any good reason to vote no, other than you didn’t want rural Aboriginal people to be communicating with the Prime Minister… As that’s all the voice was really about.
Also, a yes vote would have been a step towards becoming a Republic. So these issues are intertwined.

They’re owned by The Moonies, a Korean Fascist Cult whose aim is to take over the world.
