The West has lost the plot.

The West is on the way out.

By importing the Third World, the West will soon become the Third World.

Mass immigration, multiculturalism and people who can't speak English properly or at all.

All self-inflicted. Can't blame the people lined up to come here with the invitation to carry on the same way they did in the alien society they come from.

I have similar thoughts watching ABC Q&A which seems to be a bleeding heart competition. I'm now inclined to boycott businesses which proclaim their guilt over First Nations displacement. Feeling somewhat parched I was about to enter a coffee shop in a country town then read the sign on the door. We hereby acknowledge the so-and-so people as the original inhabitants. Well give it back then.

Posturing over supposed injustices is a lot easier than solving real world problems. The people who got gay marriage over the line should now solve housing affordability

I wonder how many of the "so-and-so" people patronise that coffee shop. I wonder how many non-aboriginals would decide to go elsewhere for their coffee. Did you?

ttbn I walked up a steep hill to a deli to get a drink. A more likely scenario is going to an event where the woke organisers ambush the crowd with an acknowledgement of country. In one case there had been no indigenous people there for a least a century. Next time it happens I'll make it clear I think the organisers are not based in reality.

Good on you.

I wonder if ever we are unavoidably plunged into a welcome to our own country, it would be OK to turn our backs to it, as aborigines were seen to do at Rudd's 'sorry' ceremony.

We live in a world of difference.
To negotiate this difference, we need TRUTHFUL, strong, and realistic principles to guide us.
We need to be able to compromise too.
But not too far.
Never forget who we are.
Never forget our basic principles.
Don't go too far off the beaten track.
Perhaps that is what we are doing?
Losing our identity in the chaos created by trying too hard to do the right thing?
We need to avoid distractions, and get back on track?
No more minority groups with absurd amounts of control?
Keep it simple seems to be a good principle.
