I went to an Australia Day event yesterday.
And, as usual, the "Aboriginal Industry" was there to start the event with a "Welcome to Country" speech by an Aboriginal "Auntie", who proceeded to shame everyone with a diatribe about how horrible the "invasion" and "occupation" of the continent was, along with the "massacres" and other crimes-against-humanity puportedly commited against her ancestors. No to mention, the on-going oppression of her people. I guess this woman was using a different definition of "welcome" than the one I'm familiar with.
I wonder if she was paid to give that speech. And if so, by whom?
I don't know how "welcome" everyone else felt after this but I felt rather insulted at being "welcomed" to my own country. One I was born in and one which at least four generations of my ancestors have called Home. A country that didn't exist until Europeans arrived and built it, literally from the ground, up. A country that lifted this woman's people from the Stone Age to the Industrial Age in a mere three generations. Arguably, the greatest and most rapid "leg-up" in all Human history.
You know what else I found insulting? Their flag, being given the same prominence in display, as our National Flag. And I'm not just talking about the ceremony. Their flag flies on almost all public buildings and monuments. I'm not even sure if that's legal! Apart from the fact that it demonstrates that they consider themselves a separate nation, it makes nonsense of their claim, that they're an oppressed people.
I had to chuckle to myself, when she bragged about being a part of the "oldest continuous culture on Earth" (up from forty to sixty thousand years now). Sixty thousand years and still in the Stone-Age when Europeans arrived? Channeling Mick "Crocodile" Dundee here: That's not an achievement. That's an embarrasment.
I thought that, perhaps, a little gratitude might have been in order: Gratitude for the fifty thousand year* leg-up her people received. Gratitude for the good fortune of having the English settle this continent, rather than the French, the Dutch, the Portugese or, Heaven forbid, the Spanish! Gratitude for the six BILLION Dollars of taxpayers' money spent on Aboriginal "welfare" every single year! Gratitude that no one with the authority to do so, is game to demand an audit.
When I got home and started penning this essay, I realised that while I still feel insulted, I also feel sorry for this woman and all the other Aboriginal activists performing their Welcome to Country speeches. Because she's being used and she can't see it. She's what Lennin and Stalin described as a "useful fool"; someone who rallys to a cause (or a grift) without understanding what it is or what the true motivations of it's enablers are.
Does having your nose rubbed in a (mostly false and non-sensical) accusation that you, as a non-Aboriginal, are responsible for all the ills (real and imagined) that besets them, induce you to feel respect or sympathy? Or shame? Or something else? The audience was polite, but I'm guessing that the only reason someone didn't stand up and call "Bullshit!" is that, at this time, Aboriginies enjoy Protected-Species status and there are serious negative consequences for doing so.
But that's not going to last. The Aboriginal Industry's enablers - the globalists - will discard them like a used tissue the moment they're no longer considered useful. And their usefulness to that cabal is rapidly running out. Then what?
All their activism has achieved, is to alienate the non-Aboriginal community and generate disgust and distrust. Their Protected-Species status reminds me of Orwell's "Animal Farm"; "All animals are equal. But some are more-equal than others". We all know what happened to the Pigs. The overwhelming "No" vote in the Referendum should have been a wake-up call that they've reached the limits of everyone's tolerance. But when your snout's in the trough, that's all that matters, apparently.
And that goes for all the other activist groups** busy dividing our communities, demolishing our institutions and white-anting our society. The day someone calls "Enough!" to all of them isn't too far off.
Don't get me wrong. These activists deserve everything they get when their enablers throw them under the bus. My sympathy, such as it is, is reserved for the majority of innocents who have nothing to do with this, but who will suffer the backlash resulting from the activists' behaviour, simply because they belong to these minorities.
*I'm subtracting the ten thousand years it took the European settlers to make the same journey from the Stone Age to the Industrial Age.
**The environmentalists, the LGBTQ+ movement, Femminists, Climate Alarmists and all the other "minorities" that have allowed themselves to be weaponised by the globalists, in pursuit of that group's goals.
