Tell me you've never read any history without saying you've never read any history lol.

Yeh, Copernicus, Giordano Bruno, Galileo, Darwin, Judith Levine, Bloom, Bowie all conservative types that went with the flow. Friends of the church, they all were

Isn’t the use of Hensen Park about 50/50 between RL & AFL?

In fairness, they've contributed $4.5m to this one (out of total $12.5m being put forward for the project), so have pushed this one over the line. We got $40m for Leichhardt without contributing a cent.

Governments are far more willing to spend money on projects where others are contributing.

The fact that you are aware of the exceptions only shows that you understand the rule...

99% of history is individual ethnic and/or religious groups competing for resources and/or power. Most societies throughout history were lead by minoritarian interests and the intelligentsia of said society at the time, and suggesting otherwise is just pure ideological talk.

Trying to force historical societies to conform to modern philosophical and political outlooks is stupid on face value. The concept of the left/right, progressive/conservative, political dichotomy wasn't even created until the French Revolution and modern post-war conceptualisations of conservatism wouldn't be recognisable to them. It'd be completely unintelligible in basically all other historical contexts.

Viewing history through an oppressor/oppressed lens is particularly dangerous. It's a simplistic and dysfunctional way of viewing modern societies, let alone historical ones.

Oh ffs.
This has what to do with NRL stadiums?

Why should we care about stadiums when the NRL clearly doesn't?

The NRL does nothing about the stadiums that're degrading and actually need work, whilst incentivising games being played out of shit box public grounds.

Apparently they're tolerating intimidation and crowd violence at said shitboxes again as well.
