Hypocrite is correct!


Look what you said just now:

Quote:



YOUR private property is based ENTIRELY on British law. It is no less 'stolen land' than any other part of whatever Aborigines called this continent before the British arrived and gave them laws, sanitation, and all the rest of the stuff the Romans did for the People's Popular Front of Judea.

You "support the discrimination by the British who took away most of the Aboriginals land arsehole" when it benefits you PRIVATELY.

Then you bluster and rage like an idiot who had an electric wire attached to his amygdala.

British Law = Native Title....You want to uphold or deny certain laws you based on your stupidity....If you don't like the laws then piss off back to were ever you crawled from Fwank!!!

It's out of ignorance to presume aboriginal peoples did not have laws before 1788.

Not only did they have laws, but many of those laws are amazingly complex.

Marriage laws within a tribal region are incredibly complex.

Tribal territory laws existed.

Dietary laws, laws governing the conduct between male and female, men and women, elder and junior...

Laws governing the telling of tribal myths and stories.

Laws governing the sacred and mundane... and expected conduct when interacting with the sacred.

As many laws as are necessary for organised social life to exist at all among humans.

What they did not have, like all non-literate tribal peoples, including the Scottish Highlander clans, were laws requiring written title deeds to land.

By the late 18th century, with Britain careening towards the Industrial Revolution and the emergence of 'mega' cities, land reform was required to manage large-scale intensive framing to feed the population of these large urban areas.

The use of land title deeds, and laws governing land ownership, were weaponised against non-literate tribal peoples to expropriate their land wherever it was needed.

This occurred throughout the British Empire, (even within Britain and Ireland, itself), and the nascent United States, to ensure huge tracts of agricultural land ownership were concentrated into the hands of the few - landlords who could be trusted by the Imperial establishment to provide as much agricultural products as were necessary to fuel the Empire's cities' populations. Returning once unimaginable wealth to 'gentleman farmers'.

It was in this world that all tribal peoples throughout the world found themselves quickly dispossessed of their ancient lands.

The idea that the British wandered the globe like apostles, spreading the 'gospel' of British governance and its legal system as their sacred gift to the world, is as ridiculous as a two-legged barstool.

The British could not possibly have afforded to establish and pay for the maintenance of the Empire indefinitely... each colony was required to be self-sustaining and capable of transporting its excess wealth of the lands back to Britain for the British people's consumption - from food to minerals.

What the British Navy and its armies did provide (until a colony was capable of defending itself) was the protection of settlers against any force, foreign or domestic, that resisted or hindered this imperial progress.

The Indonesians, as Rocky said - had lots of practice with the West Papuans.
