Bucky Fullminster posted:Speaking of batshit excuses for racism, here's a good look at some of the narratives that are winding their way into the No campaign, specifically the intellectual journey of Josephine Cashman, if anyone wants some good ol' deep-diving independent journalism: it's pretty obvious cashman has been seriously mentally unwell since around late 2019, when she suddenly went from a relatively normal indigenous conservative to a completely unhinged lunatic who rapidly burned bridges with most mainstream conservatives by making bizarre fraudulent claims and who now has all sorts of absurd conspiracy theories about bill shorten and king charles using jewish people as a scapegoat for their plot to steal australia's natural resources for the un, and whatever this is trying to convey: https://josephinecashman.com.au/maps she's now deeply into right-wing conspiracy theories and so regurgitates parts of them (though she usually comes up with weirder, more idiosyncratic and harder to follow takes than most of them do), and other conspiracy theorists take from the nonsense she invents too. you don't need to come up with a conspiracy theory about near-defunct fascist org the league of rights being secretly responsible for any of this

There's no conspiracy theory, it just lays out the roots of the narratives that have poisoned her brain. You seem to think things happen in vacuum. Like she just went crazy, completely independent of any media she happened to consume, and all the stuff the fascist orgs do over the decades just spirals off into the ether without ever impacting anybody. It's all soup in the same pot. edit - to be clear, that's not my article, although I have worked with the author on some of this stuff

Well you'll be pleased to know I shaved a whole 6 minutes off, and changed the title to something hopefully a bit more relevant and engaging: In other news, Uluru is truly spectacular. Just imagine the first humans to lay eyes on it. Desert desert desert desert desert holy poo poo what the hell is that thing

Are there legitimate reasons for voting no other then 'it doesn't go far enough', which never feels like a legitimate argument when people use it.

Why do you think a small group of people picked by the colonizers, ruling class and their collaborators, at a meeting from which some walked away, to ask for something that won't help the first nations plight and instead set back the cause, should trump the correct analysis given by the BPU and ACP? It appears you're going with feelings and idealism, not thorough analysis of history and the material conditions.

saying the statement from the heart was a consensus is kind of telling on yourself for not actually giving a poo poo about this because it was actually notable because it was not a consensus and a lot of the black people arguing for no were in fact part of that group that disagreed with the minutae of what it entailed

True. I got that bit wrong. There was a small group of dissenting voices, as there always are. But again, if the majority agreed on the wording in the statement. In your decision making on how youre going to vote, what puts their voices behind a smaller groups who dissented/walked out?
