Aboriginals didn't have towns. They didn't even have houses (fucking obviously. Every fourth-grader knows this).
Lonely Planet knows this. They know that statement is factually... Off. But they deliberately put it in there anyway.
Look, you might think this doesn't matter, but these are the same utter freaks who insist that Melbourne "was originally called" naaaaaarrrrrmmm, and still should be (according to them). Same with nipaluna (yes, really), for Hobart, and warrane for Sydney. Even though all of those have existed for less than a decade.
You see this shit everywhere, now. On the news. In the "arts" community. On the TV. Absolutely everywhere. And it started with "woke" students and academics.
Oh, I should add: none of those places existed, pre-whitey. This isn't California. It isn't New Mexico. It isn't even Canada. Our natives were quite literally more primitive than pretty much any African tribe, when whitey arrived...
And yet, I'm told to "call it naarm, not Melbourne". I'm told that "calling Hobart by its colonial name is offensive. You must call it nipaluna (all lower case)"
I'm told that "claiming you are going on holiday to Fraser Island is offensive to the tribes who live there. Call it by its traditional name of K'gaari, bigot! Even the (woke) government recognises that is its "true" name!!"
This shit stinks. Fuck this country. These people are fucking evil.
Lonely Planet was originally founded and headquartered in Melbourne (yes, really). That's an important point. Then it was bought by the fucking BBC, driven into the ground, and bought by a photographer with zero business acumen, who literally bankrupted the company, gutted it (much more than even the BBC had managed to do), and this... Woke carcass is its barely-functioning ghost...
Fucking weird. Same thing happened to Fairfax (once Australia's second-largest media org). Dumb, entitled, "creative" idiots in their twenties, completely ruined and destroyed the business that was handed to them. Funny that...
I did a north american archeology course once. The thing that struck me most was how primitive the Native Americans were. The height of technology before Europeans arrived was having simple copper tools. Fish hooks and needles and such that could be made from raw unprocessed copper that washed up on a shore somewhere. No wheel, only basic wood and skin structures all while China was at the height of the Ming Dynasty and Europe was going through the Renaissance and even the middle East was experimenting with new and creative gunpowder formulas. Meanwhile in America having a crummy raw copper fish hook is a big status symbol. And even then, Australian Aborigines were somehow even more primitive.
It's contemptible when wokies want us to take these people's "science" as somehow equivalent to our own.
Also the traditional name thing reminds me of when they renamed Barrow, Alaska to something unpronounceable that I can't remember.
It's contemptible when wokies want us to take these people's "science" as somehow equivalent to our own.
What they fail to understand is that any worthwhile knowledge they had (plants that had analgesic properties, eating fruit to be prevent some diseases during long sea voyages) as long since just been acquired, studied and understood and is part of "our" science now.
Everything else we didn't roll into our own stuff was garbage. So if "ancestral knowledge" now says something opposite to modern science, modern science is most likely the right answer.
utqiagvik. I don't do pronunciation symbols but oot-E-ah-vik It looks funny but pronounces fine. The thing about utqiagvik is it was and still is a native village. It is not populated with white people. You can't drive there, there isn't really much industry. The only reason you'd want to live there is you really hate people, but not so much to live completely in the wilderness or you've always lived there.
That’s… Not entirely accurate, but 60% native is very high, yes.
The rest of what you said is… Mostly accurate.
I’m sorry but Barrow is, and always will be, a better name than something that the majority of your fellow countrymen (I presume) will never be able to pronounce properly… And that will continue to be the name that the majority of people will use, whatever woke “government officials” may decide.
I’m not sure I agree with your stance on this stuff, sorry. But you do you. I suspect you’re in the minority in that state more broadly, but I guess if 60% of the population supposedly wants it to be called that, then sure, why not…
One of those subtle language or behavioral changes that we start to notice everywhere but sleepy normies still think nothing about, and wonder why we're so paranoid about nothing. Many such cases.
Fucking LOL at "first European city", I guess they're counting temporary mud huts or clumps of branch shelters as cities? Or maybe lonely planet's expanding to include non human cities like ant colonies now.
The worshipping of aboriginals in Australia is so pathetic, and I hate there's been more of a push of using aboriginal names and doing that acknowledgement speech shit when it's a dying culture that dug it's own grave by not wanting to record anything or share infomation with outsiders.
My work in particular is nauseatingly woke. Weekly company meetings start with the acknowledgement stuff and some individuals virtue signal hard by using aboriginal greetings to each other. We even redesigned artwork that was for an Australian themed thing because "we don't want to offend abbos by imitating their art style". Oh no man not the DOT PAINTING! Whatever, helps abbos fade more into obscurity.

That has more to do with ideology; science is falsifiable-- ideology isn't, and that's the crux of the current issue.

The left is pushing for a race to the bottom.
We will all be equal when we equally have nothing.
