Indigenous

*Brought to you in part, by my new mouse*

I was met with an interesting question, after someone being indignant that “English” people (meaning white) weren’t allowed to kick other people off “their” land. They were also annoyed that the “English” people, under international Law are not protected under Indigenous Laws.

It really is a simple answer. The English of NOW aren’t indigenous to England. Just because your white, just because other white people took over the Britannia. England hasn’t even always been called England. England has always been multicultural, essentially, lol

England has had Vikings, Germanic Tribes, Scots, Celts and Romans. Which most of them are white, guaranteed, but they came from other lands and other cultures.

The England we know now, really didn’t start to happen until about the Middle Ages. Most “English” people now, although white, don’t come from the beginnings of England now, lol. Does that make sense?

Indigenous Australians, “Americans”, etc. Have mainly been there since the beginning. Does that make sense?

Indigenous Peoples are distinct social and cultural groups that share collective ancestral ties to the lands and natural resources where they live, occupy or from which they have been displaced. The land and natural resources on which they depend are inextricably linked to their identities, cultures, livelihoods, as well as their physical and spiritual well-being”

The English people of now, are not distinct enough. Sorry, racists, lol. The people of England have also not been displaced. England has been the one displacing others.

Amendments

So this is what “Amendment” means:

“a minor change or addition designed to improve a text, piece of legislation, etc.”

In others words…The word Amendment means it CAN be changed. Any of them. I was thinking about it…I am sure that the American forefather made it those words, so things can be changed. Although I was “told off” and told that the Government can’t touch the Bill of Rights…So why call them Amendments if they can’t be changed? Or if the people really want something changed, it can’t be? Or is it an American thing where everybody else has the same meaning for the word “amendment” and American just HAS to be different with it?

Did you know?

*I thought that this Law in Germany is quiet interesting, considering what’s happened the past week*

In Germany they have a very strict law regarding certain symbols, that have been very present by a certain group of people in the US.

Strafgensetzbuch section 86a

Breaking the Law down:

The relevant excerpt of the German criminal code reads:^[1][2][3]

§ 86 StGB Dissemination of Means of Propaganda of Unconstitutional Organizations

(1) Whoever domestically disseminates or produces, stocks, imports or exports or makes publicly accessible through data storage media for dissemination domestically or abroad, means of propaganda:

1. of a party which has been declared to be unconstitutional by the Federal Constitutional Court or a party or organization, as to which it has been determined, no longer subject to appeal, that it is a substitute organization of such a party;

[…]

4. means of propaganda, the contents of which are intended to further the aims of a former National Socialist organization,

shall be punished with imprisonment for not more than three years or a fine. […]

(3) Subsection (1) shall not be applicable if the means of propaganda or the act serves to further civil enlightenment, to avert unconstitutional aims, to promote art or science, research or teaching, reporting about current historical events or similar purposes. […]

§ 86a StGB Use of Symbols of Unconstitutional Organizations

(1) Whoever:

1. domestically distributes or publicly uses, in a meeting or in writings (§ 11 subsection (3)) disseminated by him, symbols of one of the parties or organizations indicated in § 86 subsection (1), nos. 1, 2 and 4; or

2. produces, stocks, imports or exports objects which depict or contain such symbols for distribution or use domestically or abroad, in the manner indicated in number 1,

shall be punished with imprisonment for not more than three years or a fine.

(2) Symbols, within the meaning of subsection (1), shall be, in particular, flags, insignia, uniforms, slogans and forms of greeting. Symbols which are so similar as to be mistaken for those named in sentence 1 shall be deemed to be equivalent thereto.

(3) The exceptions from §86 subsection (3) and (4) apply accordingly.

This means that the symbols that were proudly placed around the “protests” in Charlottesvilles in America last week, are actually illegal in the country from where they originated from. They take it VERY seriously as well. They do not mess around with these symbols in Germany.
