So the issue is that a sign which is not pointing at a statue that, as far as we know, isn't problematic could be seen as a sign that could be pointing at a statue that we may find out is problematic someday? Insanity.
So the current problem isn't fixing the current issues, its the time wasting trying to avoid future issues that lead to nothing getting done and creating more issues and extreme time delays. Its how government workers work on the same project for 15 years, when originally it was only supposed to take 8.
Automatic people: like Abraham Isaac and Jacob.
It was just the other day that I realize that every religion has absolutely perfect founders Jesus Mohammed Buddha and Confucius
But the founders of Judy and have not been washed with a perfect brush.
My question is: "why the heck does it matter?". The statue is 500 meters away. It's only considered "pointing at it" if you reeeeally want it to be.
To be fair, I was expecting to hear how the land for the schools and churches and local communities of which Sir Stanford was so supportive was acquired.
its australia, it was generally easier to just wait till someone in the indigenous community died, then they'd all leave and you could just occupy the land
“Expanding trading routes” also didn’t sound all that safe.
The writers do a really good job on this show.
Since I discovered Utopia on RUclips I’ve been dying to watch the whole thing. I think it’s hilarious. Even thinking of getting Netflix just to do so. But I tried to get my partner into it and no can do. Too much like work, he said!
What are you on about? It's free to watch just make an account on ABC ITV Australia... everything free just need an account.
like some old tweets, lol
This show is only funny because it absolutely true.
why does no one ever, just say nah mate, and ignore these parasites
lmfao
Sure Ash, a guy on a horse must be Damien Oliver. 🤣
😂 Well, he does deserve a statue, imo
LoL 😆....
Just like Mr Macquarie and other "pioneers" 😁
Sounds about right 😂
I swear these systems and practices’s are thinly veiled public purse gouging excuses.
By today’s standards you could find anything wrong with them.
Maybe this still seems comical to you Aussies. But here in the States, I can't tell you how many times I've seen a statue and researched who it was and found something I didn't like, then looked for a sign nearby and found out which administration built the sign and then called for their impeachment. It's like every other week these days.
it's making comedy out of real issues..........
Not exactly. To be more precise, here in the states it’s organizations like the United Daughters of the Confederacy (who venerated the KKK) who wanted to commemorate Confederate soldiers with statues…60+ years after the Civil War.
See, the South is still fighting the Civil War and believes in “States Rights” when it’s convenient for them, and big government when it’s also convenient for them. They think the Civil War was a “just cause” when in reality they were insurrectionists and treasonists who lost the war, and by default; Losers.
So, the South romanticizes the war, and slavery, which is what the war was fought about, or to be more precise, it was the reason why 7 states seceded from the Union, even though Southerners and Conservatives alike continue to claim it wasn’t about slavery at all.
See, my dear Aussies, conservatives (here in the states) are ignorant and afraid of history and literally make it illegal to teach history (as seen in Florida, per Desantis) and continue to claim victimhood, all while perpetuating heinous things, while blaming those very things on BLM and an imaginary Antifa. They’re really quite the joke.
It’s a hilarious to be honest. All historical figures will inevitably have something in their history that is unpalatable by today’s standards. Your capital city for example is named after a slave owner. Alexandria in Egypt was named after Alexander the Great who was no angel. History is history. One day America will have the Trump Library 😂😂😂😂
We laugh at what we find funny and you do your thing.
Must be exhausting 😉
@@chmelnitsky Oh yeah we never sleep. It's why we're called "woke". 🙃
That's why we can't have nice things.
Wait till you hear about Captain Cook l😅
it seems captain cook is blamed for everything even things that have nothing to do with him particularly in Australia
wish I could watch this but it's not in america.
Seriously same here
even tried a VPN, but that didn't work.@@magnusroberts5079
I think it’s on ABC or Hulu.
not in america@@icevariable9600
Have you used a search engine to find whether you can watch utopia (australia) in USA?
Statues to people you think are bad nowadays, is just reading books by people who are butthurt.
People make up lies for legends
"Imagine if we discovered anything... problematic."
There'd be quite an egg on the face if they proudly proclaiming a statue of a dude that rounded up dozens of Aboriginal women and children, shot and desecrated their bodies. Was kinda hoping that something like that was going to be found in the episode. "Oh, God, it's Jimmy Saville all over again!"
Sums up the Western world. We cant build that Bridge because we cant properly name it.
Looks like a lot of nebulous "problems" that an angle grinder and shotgun could solve ?
We don't use angle grinders or shotguns on annoying people.
@@ribbonsofnightAh, see, that’s your problem right there
Tell China the West is not sale. Keep the statue.
This is so funny but so sadly true of most Australian fed, state, territory and local government employees, their taught everything in history is wrong and needs to be hidden or deleted.
Watching these, yeah, i fully support AI president/ PM/ king. This shit is not getting better.
Im generally there…apart from the nagging feeling that AI might make conclusions about the future viability of the human race that we might not like.
As someone just said on Twitter, the world runs on denial & fossil fuels; mostly denial.
Whoops. Forgot. This is a comedy thread ;)
It’s funny how we can’t apply the same standards to the living…….so many politicians, public servants, bureaucrats, corporate donors and prime contractors would be jobless and even incarcerated.
Generally Auspost won't put living people on stamps in case they turn out to be .... problematic
Exceptions are made for race car drivers and athletes. You know, the important people.
this is not fiction. the rubbish that goes on is beyond belief.
Hate these guys - Worried by something being offensive even though no one is complaining.
Tearing down statues is the same as burning books. You dont want to erase history.
Don’t completely agree, but I believe statues should give context, you can celebrate people’s achievements while acknowledging their failures. Also statues celebrating hate should be moved to museums where they can better be surrounded by context without becoming a beacon of hate… or melted down into cannons, free canons for everyone.
Hence all those Hitler statues still standing around Germany right? Oh, that's right. They pulled them all down when they realised who he was.
@labibbidabibbadum good example. I dont want people to forget who he was though, because then we are doomed to repeat the mistakes when another person like him comes to power. Even if you destroy every remnant of his presence in history, hes still in the bible.
@@labibbidabibbadum Yah that's not the same thing contextual.
So the UK was wrong to pull down statues, road names, etc relating to J!mmy Saville?
virtue signaling is australia's nationsl sport. hoping it makes the brisbane olympics. meanwhile aboriginal voice voted down.
