    Just yesterday I was reading about how Australian techniques for combating wildfires have been very inefficient. Well what do you know, the aboriginals have been dealing with this shit for hundreds of years so let's appropriate their knowledge without compensating them properly

      It's the same way in america. They still don;t want to admit we are just now barely coming around to understanding what Native Americans have known and been trying to explain and practice for centuries. But they'll let thousands die every year in California wild fires before acknowledging that maybe it isn't good to try to build a home in a place that catches fire a lot and then keep it dry,

      When you said "Australian techniques for combating wildfires" I thought "But indigenous Australians have been doing it for thousands of years". I read weirdly.
