It was a quid pro quo with the Trump transition team. He gave them a big win and made Biden look ineffectual on the way out. Then Trump got into office and rewarded Bibi with a very very favourable outcome

The red flag was when Trump learned it was called the gaza strip and started talking about how it was a ‘beautiful’ piece of real estate
He was also cornered on this since Chrystia Freeland was so loud about Ottawa needing to take action
Except he’s staking the country’s future on being an ‘AI superpower’, so there’s no chance he does anything to piss off big tech
Disappointing but understandable since the reports are saying other government officials, including his foreign secretary had to step in. I’m sure the argument that his personal reputation or issues with Trump destroying the Colombian economy was compelling enough
It might be misleading to say they were the first out of Africa
I didn’t say they immediately arrived in Australia, a place they couldn’t possibly know existed. But it’s not disputable that Aboriginals were in the first wave of humanity to leave Africa.
They might have been able to walk due to lower sea levels at the time.
Yes, the sea levels were lower and they may have walked for some of their journey. But they did have to sail across the open ocean and did have to construct vessels that would allow them to do that. Let’s not denigrate the technological achievements of these people by saying they just walked it.
Homo sapiens (in this case aboriginals) hunted mega fauna to extinction
What’s really misleading is to just say they hunted the megafauna to extinction when they lived with them for 17,000 years. If you also compare that to the few hundred years it took for the American bison to almost be eradicated after Europeans arrived in North America, you’ll see that these people were still great stewards of the land. Even if, like all Homo Sapiens, they spell disaster for other species around them.
[…] Men in boats arrived on the edge of the known world to embark on that new experiment. And just like astronauts arriving on Mars those first settlers would be confronted with a different and strange world, full of danger, adventure and potential.
The aboriginal people were the first of Homo Sapiens to leave Africa. They used the rudimentary technology of the era to sail to Australia. When they landed in Australia the ecosystem was even more more dangerous than it is now. They had to survive alongside giant reptiles and other megafauna for 17,000 years. That’s in addition to everything else on that continent trying to kill you.
If anyone in Australia is a pioneering adventurer to be celebrated, it’s these people. Yet the colonialist mind is so brain dead that they’ll denigrate these people and their culture, while celebrating the arrival of a group of psychopathic plunderers who arrived at a land that was already settled by humans.
Their comment history is literally just Fox News. Covers the full gamut from trans athletes to Hunter Biden conspiracies. I didn’t know these people existed on Lemmy
