I think we can safely say people don't CHOOSE to become totally and utterly demoralized.


Note: this is not the demoralization of eg, Nazi concentration camp guards, this is the demoralization from loss of self-esteem.

― Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning



Some things are within our power, while others are not. Within our power are opinion, motivation, desire, aversion, and, in a word, whatever is of our own doing; not within our power are our body, our property, reputation, office, and, in a word, whatever is not of our own doing.

Let’s talk demoralisation for a moment. 6 million Jews were systematically murdered while their demoralised families were only allowed to watch.


Their families were not demoralized, note my comment that the demoralization of Nazi death-camp guards is not equivalent to the loss of self-esteem caused by total defeat of one's culture/way of life.

Quote:
These demoralised families were dispossessed of their humanity and homeland and are still subject to a particular nasty form of racism.


Correct, but they never lost their self-esteem (though some did lose their faith in God....) 

Quote:
Today this demoralised remnant has become a self empowered community that’s a (global) force to be reckoned with.


Yes, and addressed above: self esteem maintained by the survivors of a 4 year holocaust, cf. total demoralization of loss of culture over 2 centuries of cultural displacement and economic destruction.

Quote:
Meantime .... NotsoGreat wants to to spend another entire day wanking online about a culture he knows nothing about except for what he has Googled. Idiot!


I think that is what is known as a gratuitous ad hominem attack. 

Whereas if I say your vicious, "deplorable" survival of the fittest/individual sovereignty ideology is destructive and delusional, it is not a gratuitous attack, but a reasoned one.

On, dearie, dearie, me, Matty such a tired old refrain you sing all the time.  Never a solution passes your fingertips, just endless criticism.  Don't you get it?  We all accept what your claim, its just excessive in the volume and a WOFTAM.  There is never any evidence presented by you about your Cannibalism claims.  I wonder why?  Could it be because there isn't any?   Tsk, tsk, tsk...  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes


There is plenty of evidence - historical accounts up to 1990 that dead babies would go "into the pot" - the late Dr C.G. von Brandenstein, who learnt at least four Pilbara languages, said that in hard times, dead infants would routinely go ‘into the pot’.


Prove it, Matty, quote this learned man.  Whats the betting you won't because you can't.  Tsk, tsk, tsk...  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

Quote:
There are plenty of accounts by respected anthropologists about Aboriginal cannibalism, e.g. Elkin, Roth, and the two Berndts. Even Manning Clark attested to the practice.


As I and others have shown, all your quotes refer early the last century, rather than modern times.  It seems you seem to think people never chance, what does that demonstrate about your thinking, Matty?  Tsk, tsk, tsk...   Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

Quote:
But what about all the raped babies now?

you say nothing - I was there I saw it and I didn't see you.


Because I am not disputing those comments, Matty.  You seem unable to understand an argument.  Tsk, tsk, tsk...  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

Quote:
They are 15 to 20 times more likely to commit violent crimes than non-aboriginals


All Indigenous Australians, Matty?  What about the thousands who live in modern Australian cities around the country?  You are being Racist.  Most Indigenous Australians are law-abiding, peace-loving people.  Time you learnt to differentiate, Matty.  Tsk, tsk, tsk...  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

Quote:
There is no solution for their behaviour they will not behave - Lidia Thorpe will never behave - it in their DNA


Funny, there seems to be thousands of them who have learnt to be peaceful, to be law-abiding, to be good people, Matty.  You're a Racist, pure and simple.  Tsk, tsk, tsk...   Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

OMG! You’re a bona fide Anti Semitic POS!

Who do you think you are to make ANY call on the self esteem levels of 6 million murdered Jews and/or their families who escaped the physical trauma and torture but not the enormity of the mental agony and legacy of it all?

And I’m struggling to comprehend the little you appear to know about modern or ancient history. Right now I suspect that you deliberately ethnically cleansed the Jews out of your sanitized and depraved version of history so as to minimise the very existence of the Jews.

Dear God you are beyond help!

You have absolutely no shred of credibility left Groggy/Bwian. Not even under that idiotic id!

Quote:

That's what deluded  RW/mainstream ideologues in British Labour said about Jeremy Corbyn; I'll take your slur as a badge of honour. Defending Palestinians against vicious Israeli paranoia always elicits cries of antisemitism from RW ideologues.  

Quote:

Here we go; ....fake outrage in spades. 

Extinction at the hands of a murderous ideology doesn't destroy the SELF-esteem of the survivors - witness Palestinians taking their case for a Palestinian state all the way to the UN, their self-esteem is intact. Same  for Jews who survived the holocaust, those who maintained their sanity also maintained their self-esteem. 

Whereas the 2-century-long creeping destruction of the Oz h-g culture did destroy morale, being more insidious for the natives - there was limited actual direct murder of blacks (disease was more deadly), just creeping dispossession of the h-g culture.  Some are still fighting to reclaim that lost culture - an impossibility.   

Quote:

Refuted above.

whereas I recall hearing one Jew who survived the holocaust, who said "there is no God....."

Quote:

The moralizing of the simple-minded, blind RW ideologue, incapable of understanding the awful complexities of life; you are not qualified to adjudicate between Palestinians and Jews.

See UN resolutions 181 and 242.

Give 'em all a job where there's no mandatory work and that'll solve all their problems since those are based on poverty... not based on the way they choose to spend their money, eh?

Again - I live in THE lowest household income village in NSW - (our net worth is in the fish, prawns and crabs caught - sandy beaches, drinking rum every night) our crime rate is so close to zero you never notice it... it could actually be negative given that Brian and I cut the village grass for free at times... though some wankers reckon that's a crime... must be robbing the invisible council workers of a job, eh?

I'll be attending a lecture by a professor who has studied the former CDEP and its outcomes etc.....I'll report back in due course.

Well ...depending on the unemployment rate in your village,  cutting the village grass might be a good JG job.....and you will have more free time to go fishing....


But not everyone is living on the coast -  with access to "free" sea food.

Sorry but yes they do. All the assistance in the world & still not good enough for over 60 years.

You are simply delusional as to why this continues.
