I once had to save a couple of German tourists from Aboriginals in Brisbane.
They were playing a didgeridoo they had bought without the Aboriginal's permission.

R'uh r'oh
look at the picture again.
You've all missed a CRUCIAL detail.
Really.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Saw this coming tbh. I saw he'd got dreads in the news the other day, and I thought then give it 24 hours... someone will be screaming "cultural appropriation!".
It's just a fashionable term to throw at people now and it's getting bloody irritating.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
