But Joyce says that we must feel guilty and call it an invasion, and call you Mzzz, and use huggy-fluffy terms that the bottom-feeders of HR dictate.

As stated above, abolish that whole department, and get back to being an airline.
Never said people should feel guilty, they’re your words... and they are pretty common words coming from the priveliged who think things done in the past should not be put right because you think it’s trying to make people feel guilty. It’s a lame and vacuous argument that is quite obtuse.

No, we should not feel guilty for what was done from 1788 but as a decent, moral and just people and as a modern nation we should feel guilty that infant mortality and life expectancy in indigenous communities are well below average and more akin to a third world country than one of the richest in the world while we live as the descendants of the colonizers on the indigenous populations’ land that was taken without compensation.
