Changes are afoot!
There are several groups of people on this planet who have a clear sense of identity. They look at each other and see something similar, hear each other talk, and respond in similar ways.
Differentiating these groups is easy enough to do. No, not skin colour and, no, not ethnicity. The way to know who is like you are the principles and values which define your society.
Most large groups of people are composed of a wide variety of languages, cultures, religions and histories, and it is the principles which make that group cohesive.
Religion is often used as a group identifier but is not necessary for group cohesion. Analyse the standards of living and rights of people within that group to determine what you find appealing about that group’s fundamental principles.
A good comparison is Iran vs China vs Cuba vs Poland: religion vs statehood vs community vs national identity. Each ideology determines the welfare of the people.
Australia was settled illegally by the Christian British and a century of genocide ensued. Assimilation was handled with brutality. The Doctrine of Discovery was repealed only in 2023… a fundamental change in values for western Christian countries.
The Mabo vs Qld case in 1992 revealed that our Supreme Court does not have the power to rule it has no power. What does this mean? It means that Australia does not have true jurisprudence over itself.
We also never succeeded from the UK. We are in fact a federation of states in rebellion. If not ‘rebellion’, then, perhaps, impudence? Aversion to accountability runs deep in this culture.
What is Australia now? What are our principles? Who are we?
Globalism has changed our ‘fair go, mate’ culture into one of ‘gotta be in it to win it’. This change from doing the right thing to financial opportunism is reflected in the world’s highest per capita personal injury law suits.
With mass immigration, the government’s promulgation of ‘we are the most successful multicultural nation on Earth’ is directly contradicted by the Bondi Massacre and the woke Free Palestine movement.
Franck Zanu provides an excellent insight: where a nation has no homogeneous principle, it cannot but fail.
Earlier I noted that different cultures can be identified by their shared principles. Islamic Iran holds the principle of religious law applied with brutality. Australians share the principle of secularism. However, mass immigration is not merely diversifying the national identity, it is dividing it.
If we were to write our constitution today, how would it be written? Would it have special considerations for one religion and not another? Would women have supremacy in the law or be restricted to home life with minimal education, as they are in Islamic Iran? Would transgender people be given privilege in primary schools or hospitalised? Would non-straight people be protected or targeted?
Or would it be based in objectivity, accountability, reason, impartiality, and least possible harm, the values which have continuously improved this society?
The changes in demographics alter the identity of the people. People who view secularism as evil and sectarian violence as the mechanism to gain dominion have principles contrary to safety.
Australia has cracked and divergent forces are operating here. Eventually, Australia will become one nation again.
I love feeling safe when walking down the road at night. My principle is maximum safety for all. This is the one nation I want.
