👋 this is a #repost of a post I made as recently as two days ago. I’m still learning formatting a Mastodon post!

When is a war not a war? The Allusionist explores how the English empire has used language to create legal loopholes around violent conflict with its colonies.

And the second #highlyrecommended podcast is ABR episode on how Australia has silenced #FirstNations #Indigenous especially those who have fought and died to protect their countries. And has ‘name dropped’ some books for further exploration into the topic.

Listening to both will take approximately an hour out of your day 😘 Something ‘fun’ to do for #AustraliaDay #InvasionDay 🙏

When is a war not a war? The Allusionist talks about how language is used to change how historical events can be interpreted.

Only when it is recognised as a war and memorialised as a war it will never be entirely over. The ABR talks about Australia’s uncomfortable history with war. And how language may be outright silenced to change how historical events can be interpreted.
