White-Aboriginals

I’ve been pointing out for years that you cannot distinguish many people who claim to be Aboriginal from people with British ancestry. You even have people like lily-white Bruce Pascoe, who are proven to have not a jot of Aboriginal in them, prancing around in souvenir-shop fur and waving a K-mart spear. It would be a joke if there weren’t the serious question of power acquisition involved. These white-Aboriginals obviously have grown up and been educated in normal white Australian society. They’ve been given the playbook of Aboriginal agitation, which they mindlessly reel off at the slightest provocation.

Really, are they surprised at someone parodying their fakery?

Does the West have the will to survive – to confront the barbarians at its gates?

This is a question Ayaan Hirsi Ali urgently puts to the people whose ancestors – Europe’s Germanic tribes – created the modern world. She is worried it hasn’t. She’s worried the West is surrendering to its ideological and uncivilised enemies.

What is the Australian character and culture?

Many Australians are reacting fiercely today to threats to Australia’s character and culture from ideological or national groups. What character and culture, some are asking? Indeed, the more extreme deny that such a character and culture exist. In the final chapter of my book, PRISON HULK TO REDEMPTION, I sketch what I understand as Australia’s character and culture.

An excerpt from chapter 19, ‘Cultural Continuities in 1900’, Prison Hulk to Redemption, available through Amazon.

From the outset [of Prison Hulk to Redemption], I endeavoured to depict a new, independent nation emerging from Captain Phillip’s seminal act of planting the Union Jack in the soil of Sydney Cove. In a remarkably short time, the inaugural members of this new nation began to refer to their land and themselves as Australia and Australians, though still closely connected to their origins in the British Isles. The fiery and intemperate William Charles Wentworth embodied those who experienced no doubts about themselves and the new nation they were forging. But what, precisely, does this Australianness entail?

Australianness represents a profound modification of Britishness, the unifying culture of the British Isles—England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland—rooted in the broader culture of Christian Europe. Although Australians retained many traditions, customs, and social and political institutions from Great Britain, as well as the arts and literature, and were content to do so, their experiences led them to develop fundamentally distinct identities from their counterparts in the British Isles. The varied physical environment contributed to the emergence of a unique, independent expression of Britishness. Consequently, all traditions, customs, and institutions brought over by the First Fleet were transformed, regardless of how subtle these changes might sometimes have been. Although this transformation began as soon as Captain Phillip planted the British flag, it was not until the 1880s that overseas observers began to notice a distinctly Australian character.

It’s a total farce – a big con

Most of those calling themselves, or being called, Indigenous, First Nations (the preferred term because of its connotations), and less often Aboriginal, have demonstrably had the same upbringing and education in the same social environment as most Australians.

Their behaviour, speech and educational level give them away as belonging to the mass of the Australian population with the same social gradations. There are poor, white, uneducated people, as there are poor, uneducated people with Aboriginal ancestry, a great many of them indistinguishable in appearance from Australians with British and European backgrounds.

This is less a case of race relations than it is of the usurpation of power by one particular body, party, club – call it what you will – in Australia. And it’s hurried along at great speed by the Marxists in the ABC and SBS, the great apologists for all things woke. The ABC and SBS are on the frontline, promoting the First Nations coup, which aims to reshape Australia according to their concocted Aboriginal culture and history.
