Australians have resoundingly rejected a proposal to recognise Aboriginal people in its constitution and establish a body to advise parliament on Indigenous issues.
Saturday’s voice to parliament referendum failed, with the defeat clear shortly after polls closed.
As an American, it’s nice to know we’re not the only pieces of shit out there.
Oh it’s not just us.
UK, and Canada have sordid pasts as well.
Where do you think the US learned it from?
Where do you think Australian colonialism comes from?
You can throw the French, Spanish, Dutch, and Portuguese in there too
You mean… the UK. Given that the USA, Canada and Australia were all British colonies, ergo the same past.
Yeah but no because we are talking about today and not the 1700s.
“sordid pasts”
“bUT WE’re tAlkiNg aBouT TodAy!”
🤦 goddamn you’re an idiot.
eLOquEnT
So, are we talking about the past or today? Make up your mind. 🤦 seriously, how do you remember to breathe in the morning?

Yeah but this is the present.
Canada is actively shitty to their indigenous people.
I’m from the UK so I can vouch that the government are actively shitty to it’s not rich people.
As is the US. Let’s have a threesome!
Down 😊
It could be ignorance, but as a Canadian of European descent, I’d have claimed we were passively shitty more than actively shitty.

Sorry to yell you, but Canada has been, and still is, actively shitty to the indigenous peoples. Just more polite about it in public.
And that is why I am soo embarrassed, and shocked, and dissappointed, and
Pretty much any white person who doesn’t live in Europe is guilty of these atrocities.
That’s not how generations or guilt works.
We’re both born from Western colonialism and converted into capitalism
Western colonialism was capitalism, have a wee read about the East India Company for starters

Finland also has quite a bad history with Sami people. Not quite as savage as US and Indians but still.
It was a vote on whether one specific group of people based on race should have a say in parliament that no other race would have.
A lot of people in Australia seen that as racist and a way to divide the population.
Australians voted to remain in a system where everyone has an equal vote and voice in parliament.
The headline is very obviously misleading and not what people who voted no actually thought.
It’s important to note a lot of Aboriginals voted no and we’re campaigning for no. As such the left/internet whoever have jumped on the bandwagon about something they don’t understand.
You moron everyone else has a voice: it’s called the house of representatives. This was a body specifically to advise on indigenous issues, primarily because they live in remote communities and are therefore under-represented. A lot of money goes their way each year from the federal budget for purposes decided by old white men who live in cities, so why not have an indigenous body advise on where that money gets spent? Seems a lot less wasteful to me.
American cultural hegemony tends to influence the world. If we go farther to the right, the world tends to follow. If American exported cultural propaganda didn’t work, the world would have condemned us years ago.
If I never heard again about an American being grateful/surprised/emotion that other humans are just like the humans from the US, I would begin to suspect that simulation theory is real and that there’s a huge glitch in the matrix. So, thanks for confirming this is all very real again, I guess.
