Does Australia need a new flag or do a handful of left whinge snowflakes want one?

People who were around in the 1950s would remember
how government policy was to try keeping Australia's
culture the same.
When everyone was supposed to think and act alike.
Well it didn't work.

Cultures have their differences. The governments of
Australia later - adapted well to the interests of
the people over the past decades by the programs they
installed to ensure social cohesion. That's why our
country is the envy of the world today and so many people
want to come here.

Australia is a very multicultural society with more than
270 ancestries. As a result it's a vibrant multicultural
country - and is also a home to the world's oldest
continual cultures.

This rich, cultural diversity is one
of our greatest strengths and is central to our national
identity. Every culture needs its own nation? In this
world of globalization? Well -
we can look with pride at the number of cultures that now
make up the nation that i today's Australia.

Britain created Australia?

It certainly gave it a kick start as a dumping ground for
British criminals and helped in the expansion of the
British Empire.

However, it also brought a wave of epidemic diseases including
smallpox, measles, and influenza which spread ahead of
the frontier and annihilated many Indigenous communities.

Governor Phillip reported that smallpox had killed half of the
Indigenous people in the Sydney region within 14 months
of the arrival of the First Fleet. The sexual abuse and
exploitation of Indigenous girls and women also introduced
venereal disease to Indigenous people in epidemic proportions.

shadow minister,

Most Australians do want their own national flag.

Foxy,

So do I. We have one already.

shadow minister,

The current Australian flag does not accurately connote
Australia's status as an independent nation. The Union
Jack suggests Australia is a British colony or dependency.

Today many people simply are uncomfortable with the flag.
On so many levels the anachronism of the flag's
arrangement has led to a discordance with Australia's
increasingly self-confident and multicultural identity.

The dominant top left quadrant belongs to a flag of another
nation making Australia symbolically subordinate to Britain,
as it was when it was first introduced. That is an
anachronism.

Answer-

I think it did work but non-representative special interests inculcated themselves into politics to corrupt the community and the community wasn't able to act against the corruption. This was a form of weapon of mass destruction against the community by the special interest groups.

Just because a small "Spec Team" can "take out" a large number of soldiers doesn't make it right. In the same way a small PR team can destroy a community. The way Foxy reduces all that Australia is to Captain Phillip and small pox is ridiculous- I'd be surprised if Foxy has even been camping- let alone created a civilization.

You can be on the right side of history but still lose.

Look at all the civilizations that the Chin Dynasty destroyed in scorched earth tactics- certainly much worse than Genghis Khan- who were aggressive in battle but protected civilizations in peace. Even Alexander The Great occupied but didn't slaughter in 330 BC. Some believe that the northern climes bred a culture of value of resources that equatorial civilizations didn't possess.

Sadly- as someone said on the forum- those that created the rope will be hung by the same rope- a return to mediocrity for humanity.

In the west today you are not allowed to create a community of your own ethnicity due to equal opportunity- they force a certain philosophy on the people without a mandate- this is considered bad government by some standards.

Immigration policy is part of this dictatorial philosophy.

It's interesting that "the changers" in community debate have an advantage because most people don't want to be involved in politics and favour the status quo- these are the silent. In debates you have changers, opposers, the silent- A win for the changers is contemporarily defined (changers > opposers). Given human psychology perhaps a changers win should be defined by formula- (changers > opposers + silent).
