And that's the thing right? What more reason would there be for national pride than to erase history? And that is a classic fascist move. People are always easier to control when they make their country part of their personality.
@Ball Fondlers, it's the same in most European countries. Many of the western ones have a colonial history that they tend to sweep under the rug. Australia seems to at least publicly process its history.
It's mostly just brainwashing. They don't know why they are proud, they are just told to be. Turn on the tv. Go aussie go. Proud aussie. 100% australian. blah blah blah
But I can acknowledge the difference between an intrinsic bond with your local region and politically instigated national pride like we see in India for example. To bring the topic back around.
This band's profile is 'invisible', meaning that it's much less prominent on the site - either because it's incomplete, or maybe doesn't entirely fit MS format.
