We all know about how "Advance Australia Fair" was first performed in the middle of a outbreak of race riots, right?
As @LukeLPearson points out here, the cosmetic change of one word is pretty pathetic.
But we've genuinely forgotten the context in which the song was written: an outbreak of anti-Chinese violence in 1870s Sydney, which ultimately led to
Here's the Sydney Morning Herald's account of its first performance on St. Andrews Day, 30 November 1878:

On the adjoining column is an account of an incident the same week when two well-dressed men in black coats and white shirt-fronts brutally attacked a Chinese man in Essex Street in the Rocks with a hammer:
This wasn't an isolated incident. In fact, racist anti-Chinese agitation in November 1878 in Sydney was a crucial turning point in Australia's Federation as a unified country.

I wrote something (ostensibly) about the change to Australia's national anthem, swapping 'young' for 'one'.

Britain, the UK, or whatever you call it, is an Orwellian construct, based on lies, deceit & a regime of rewards & intimidation. And so too is every so-called #NationState, including, & most importantly, the USA.
This is the truth. Either we face up to it, or we perish.
Who do I mean by "we"?
I mean, our civilisation, which, because it is global, effectively embraces everyone on the planet. Many will survive, but many more will not, & many animal & plant species will be driven - are being driven - to extinction.
I'm not the only one who recognises the peril we're in, but I may be the only one who understands it well enough to offer advice on how to avoid our civilisation's self-destruction. My understanding is not perfect, but a lot better than that of people like #ElonMusk & #BillGates.
Reducing carbon emissions, to combat #ClimateChange, as important as it is, only addresses a SYMPTOM of the CANCER that is our grossly materialistic, mercenary, rapacious & DRIVEN global economy, which is inherently unsustainable on our finite, vulnerable & overpopulated planet.
ALL civilisations rise & fall. Ours is only exceptional in the size of its population, the heights to which it has risen, & the scale of devastation that will accompany its fall, which is fast approaching.
This is the truth. Either we face up to it, or we perish.
#BritishIdentity is now based solely on #BritishValues, many of which I do not share.

Most importantly, I do not share the British value that British nationhood is multi-racial. To deny the natural racial foundations of nationhood is, in my view, Orwellian.

Incitement is speech that is:
1️⃣ intended to cause, and
2️⃣ reasonably likely to cause
3️⃣ imminent
4️⃣ lawless action
It needs all 4 elements
If any of those 4 are missing, it's First-Amendment protected speech
And constitutionally protected speech is never sedition
No
Immediate is imminent
4 minutes from now is imminent
4 hours from now might be imminent but probably is not
4 days from now definitely is not

Overturning the election would be a lawless action, wouldn't it?

And what Trump is trying to get Pence and Congressional Republicans to do on January 6 is imminent, isn't it?
I would think this qualifies. But you're the expert.
There's a mountain of evidence which is abundantly clear that this election, multi-faceted, is fraudulent.
@housegop @SenateGOP @VP must object to the results!!
@realDonaldTrump must triumph #January6! ❤🇺🇸

BR Ambedkar announced to accept Buddhism on 14th October, 1956 in a press conference.
He formed a new sect Navayan inspite of following pre existing sects such as Mahayana, Vajrayan and Heenayan. pic.twitter.com/gQgYtSDzf7

when your idea of India is rooted Hindutva, no Hindu is anti-national. if your idea of India is rooted in humanity, no person would be anti-national - nationalism is *an infantile disease* (Einstein), *cruel epidemic of evil that is sweeping over the human world* (Tagore)
people from times immemorial have used religion for its spiritual valence - radical, progressive political leaders have used theology & spirituality to advocate emancipatory politics rooted in love, universality, look beyond superficial differences that power leverages to divide
every single religion I can think of is rooted in patriarchy & horrors have been perpetrated in its name, words can't capture the shame & barbarity - but until nonreligious spiritualism & morality is widespread, we have to contend with religion, its resonances & internal shifts
danger with leveraging religion instead of religion-agnotic spiritualisms is what you see happening today - absurdly grotesque formations - RSS, Gandhi's own murderers, claiming Gandhi while refashioning his religious spirituality of ahimsa into political religiosity of violence
religion has significant but ultimately limited political value, where someone can use religion to draw on universal values of love, fraternity, morality to advocate for progress, the other can use the exact same language to justify hate, genocide, heterobrahminical patriarchy
Killing Gandhi was an act of patriotism? https://t.co/VIGzUR3GC7
