And then in the last year woke musicians (not necessarily classical ones) including people I went to school with, started referring to the city, the city, by its conlang name, which has only existed for... Less than five years. Insane...
Are you doing badthink about retiring the old badthink names, comrade? That's doubleplus ungood!
More seriously ... Did the aboriginal inhabitants build the city? If not, isn't their appropriation of the name just as bad imposing "Ayer's Rock" on something they themselves named?
Oh, silly me, I forgot whitey is untermensch and must be removed in the name of kindness and fairness.
Yeah, you get what's going on here, just as I do...
Hell, if they didn't have utter, bald-faced hypocrisy, they would have nothing. Which is, perhaps, where I began to smell something... Rather fishy, about the whole thing...
It's remarkably similar to what happened in parts of (now) Poland and the Czech Republic/"Czechia", after the fall of the Nazis and the expulsion of the Germans... Also "Kaliningrad"/Königsberg, of course...
Also India and China, post-whitey. India, I guess, is the most similar, given that places like Calcutta, Goa and Bombay were founded by le evil huwhite males...
However the difference here is that it is whitey doing it, at the behest of these minority activists. In a place that is like... 95%+ white. To appease less than 2% (!!) of the local population...
That... "Self-own", if you will, is remarkable. You don't really see that very much, outside the Anglosphere, lol.
NZ, Canada, Greenland and Alaska are worse than current Aus, though I think only two of those have actually started "renaming" cities, so in that sense, I guess we are "behind" the eight ball...
shivers I really don't see this ending well. For anyone...

I'm fairly sure those white activists simply do not regard themselves as the same population as you, and that, left unchecked, this will manifest itself in far worse ways than merely renaming places.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner!
