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...
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.
