  • Nah man sorry. You’re just wrong in this case. You’re missing the forest for the trees.

    Communism was the conspiracy. China. Vietnam. Laos. Cuba. Yemen. Somalia. Congo. Mozambique. Afghanistan. These were the countries succumbing to the worldwide conspiracy he was talking about.

    Not to forget that Kennedy increased US involvement in Vietnam to prevent the spread of communism. He sent more troops and military advisers to South Vietnam to fight Ho Chi Minh’s forces. His brother also served under McCarthy as his father was a major ally and raging anti-communist.

    Also regarding religion, Kennedy was a devout Catholic, which was a massive issue for him during the election, giving him good reason to try and dissuade people from considering it as an issue for him. Back then Catholics were often questioned on their loyalty, with people concerned that the president would be answerable to the pope. Crazy I know.





  • I don’t understand who people they’re dunking on when they mock distinctive indigenous words.

    Ballaarat means meeting place. Djilang / Geelong means tongue of land as in the edge of the bay. Wirribi / Werribee means spine, as in the river being the spine of the land. Garidwerd means mountain range created by Bunjil. Wahroonga means home.

    Even Humpybong comes from ngumpin bong, meaning empty houses in Ninghi Ninghi referring to the failed colonial penal colony that the settlers abandoned.

    All these words have true meanings that connect to the land and our history.
