No, they came to grab the land which they claimed was vacant because they did not count aboriginals as human. This denial continued into the 1950s and 1960s when survey teams reported the Maralinga nuclear test site as "clear" because Aboriginals in the area were not counted.

Musk’s gesture wasn’t a Nazi salute. His savant-like brilliance is overshadowed by bullying, psychopathic traits, drug use, isolation, and unchecked power. He’d thrive under authoritarianism and abuse power without hesitation. A dangerous figure, morally bankrupt.

Russians dying in Syria isn’t the problem, Russians killing Syrians is. We should not express regret over Russia showering Assad’s regime with money, but over Russia showering the Syrian people with bombs. For generations they will curse the Russians who murdered so many.
