    You said you would use the guillotine on multiple British politicians; and even went as far as to deflect the blame for the ongoing persecution of aboriginals to british citizens. Not once have you suggested you even hold Australia accountable for its ongoing systemic issues with racism towards natives, let alone yourself.

      You’re arguing in bad faith. I have literally, multiple times now, said I take accountability on behalf of my country. I just refuse to absolve yours of guilt and that seems to be upsetting you quite a bit.

      Also I forgot that Charles was a British politician and not the King of Australia, a title he holds independently due to the Westminster Act you discussed.*

        I’m the one arguing in bad faith? Yet more hypocrisy

        Edit: I didn’t feel the need to bring up Charles, because I agree with you that the monarchy needs to be abolished. So not sure why you think that would have riled me up. It’s just your hypocrisy that I find difficult to swallow

                For the Irish famine or the aboriginal persecution? try to be more specific with your questions, Block away. You refuse to acknowledge my questions let alone answer them, so I fail to see why I shouldn’t show you the same courtesy.

                    Sure, I can make it real simple and just explain the concept.

                    I don’t believe I’m responsible for stuff that happened hundreds of years before my birth; that’s a dangerous precedent to set and leads to rampant persecution of entire nations (like you inciting violence upon British people for example, and feeling like that’s an okay stance to take).

                    As for current events, I believe we do have a responsibility to call out and work to correct any injustice at every juncture, and pride myself on trying to doing so. That being said; much like you haven’t magically fixed the persecution of aboriginals in Australia, or Israel’s persecution of Palestine (which Australia is complicit in too btw…) ; there is only so much we commoners can achieve.

                    So instead of flinging muck at 70 million people because of their nationality, try finding common ground. Your abrasive nature serves nothing but sowing discord.

                    I appreciate this will likely fall on deaf ears, and you’ll probably resort to further projecting of your own feelings of frustration, so this is the last time I attempt to appeal to your better nature; I’m not fortunate enough to be retired, so I can’t waste any more energy on attempting to help you see reason.
