@NovaPeris @plalor not questioning the sentiment but good history does not depend on who wrote it.

@prior_robin@NovaPeris@plalor I'd argue it's not possible to step outside of civilisational context & write neutral history from nowhere. -
@Honxqp@NovaPeris@plalor no but it's possible to strive for objectivity. I'm sure we all fall short but most try -
@prior_robin@plalor agree the effort's essential, I love The Later Roman Empire by Ammianus Marcellinus for his commitment to that struggle -
@prior_robin@plalor ..also in a smaller way how Tacitus manages to honour the vantage of British chieftains who saw the Empire as a plague. -

@NovaPeris What did the Aborigines celebrate before Australia Day? Anything? It's better than nothing isn't it? Don't you like celebrations? -
@_Lan_Di_@NovaPeris Australia Day on Jan 26 wasn't a national celebration until 1994. Why did this date need to be chosen? -
@anthonyqld@NovaPeris Because that was Captain Cook's birthday

@NovaPeris@Confused_Maud history is always written by who won.but winners can later be losers -
@NovaPeris very true. -
-
-
@NovaPeris@Elusive_Sausage. Agree. They also say it was their previous generations who did it and not them. Then why commemorate ANZAC day? -
@qland12@NovaPeris@Elusive_Sausage Why 'their'? Why can't we all just be 'us'? -
@cuznate@NovaPeris@Elusive_Sausage. Wish it could be but perspectives of the history are very different. -
@qland12@NovaPeris@Elusive_Sausage History is the problem here... how about we be the future, make it about 'us' as a whole. Not white/Aboriginal Australia.#changetheattitude

@NovaPeris It was a fantastic day, glad to have been there#changethedate -
@NovaPeris@FightingTories Wouldn't it be wonderful to see a series of research on life prior to British landings and then of interactions -
@NovaPeris It's not invasion day !!!!!
