King charles Heckled in Australia

[Albaamy121]

Did anyone see that King Charles was heckled in Australia this week by an Australian senator, Lidia Thorpe.

She shouted at him "you are not my King, this is not your land, you have stolen our land".

Any thoughts?

I didn't see any thread on it, so I started this one.

You still haven't answered the question @sheri99.

How interesting!

You're deflecting because you're embarrassed that you can't answer it.

No honey, you didn’t. You’re having that conversation with someone else.

Shit. Maybe have a nap and come back when you’re less fatigued? Just a friendly suggestion. I haven’t been speaking g to you or anyone about colonialism haha!

Maybe instead of money they (the royal family) could just go through their priceless collections and give back all the artefacts - including the gemstones, art, parts of actual people - that the colonising forces stole? That wouldn't cost them anything.

Well maybe not morally bankrupt, that’s taking it too far but in terms of just their entitlement and their history that they’re also so proud of and continue to promote and stand on.

Brits having a reputation worldwide for being drunk, sexist and racist is a stereotype, not racism, by the way.

And you ask what Aussies are known as? Probably beer drinking, bbq-ing, overly relaxed? I don’t know. As I said, I’m neither British or Australian. I’m Russian, I’m used to everyone hating on me and thinking I’m going to steal their money or poison their drink. It’s all good!

Jesus can you not remember what you said two posts ago.

I asked that other poster a question about colonialism.
She said to me "you are unable to read well"
You then joined in.

You then quoted her reply to me and you said To her about me

"Honestly, they’re just looking for an argument. Either that or their comprehension skills are severely lacking. Pretty much honing in on one word in an entire paragraph to suit their narrative. Embarrassing. Don’t argue back, isn’t worth it x"

About me.

I then said to you. "Well can you answer the question then"

Negative stereotype is racism.

And a negative stereotype about Australians is also that they are known for being sexist and racist.

That's why I laughed on here when an aussie girl on this thread, called all brits sexist and racist.

I was like., do you not know the reputation that Australians have - for being sexist and racist.

Realistically, Britain can't afford to pay reparations to each and every country it invaded, so whether it should or shouldn't is academic.

I know that Australia and Canada's governments have paid some reparations, as they should, although I have no idea as to their adequacy.

Are you going to answer the question @sheri99?

Sheri99 thinks that colonisation is a GOOD thing as it helped the people to become more civilised.

She glosses over the mass murders of the people that were colonised

Charles can handle his own feelings.

Maybe instead of money they (the royal family) could just go through their priceless collections and give back all the artefacts - including the gemstones, art, parts of actual people - that the colonising forces stole? That wouldn't cost them anything.

Yeah, something like this would be a good start.

And give them to who?

The country that they came from

But who?

Haha! Lesson one: read one sentence out of an entire paragraph, remove all context from it and then try and begin an argument on your one sentence taken out of context.

I would love to continue the discussion with them but it’ll give me a migraine.

What do you mean who..

Depends who it's from.

If it's aboriginal art from a certain part of Australia. They could give the art back to an aboriginal museum in that area of australia

Why do you call a singular person "they" and "them".

Very odd!

And to answer the thread shes an idiot that failed to declare her links to organised crime.

Wind up merchant.

I think it’s more accepted in the UK because her working class just accept their lot in life and that they will always be working class. The aristocrats feel entitled to be born into wealth and given a title just because of who their parents are. Australia just isn’t like that culturally and the idea of a King is quite odd.

This seems like an outdated stereotype to me. I'm not British but I don't get the sense at all that working class Britons accept they’ll always be working class. Like Australia, there has been a gradual expansion of university education over the last 50 years that has lifted many working class people into the middle-classes. Class is less rigidly defined in Australia perhaps and we don't have an aristocracy but the mythology of the classless society in Australia is just that, a myth.

I’ll call you them because I don’t want to assume your gender and cause another argument

Its a perfectly easy question.
