whether you agree or disagree with the guy prosecuting someone for words is outrageous . <| sep |> I can see how the concept could be unsettling , if it were completely valid . The machine IS A MACHINE , so if it ' s pulling on recorded memories from the human brain , it ' s going to show them asis , not romanticized , like how humans recall their old memories . If what it was showing wasn ' t true , the video it was playing back would have glitched . So , either the locations got fucked up in recorded history , and the old man AND the genocide of whoever are both telling the truth , or a horrible injustice has just been revealed , thanks to technology . <| sep |> As I keep saying , nobody celebrates the landing of the First Fleet on Australia Day . It didn ' t even happen on the 26 th . There ' s no point moving a day that ' s not about celebrating the landing of the First Fleet to another day , in order to make it not about celebrating Federation . Australia day is the 26 th of January . It is the day to celebrate being Australian . Things that also happened or more accurately didn ' t happen on the same day of the year in the distant past have nothing to do with that .
