It's dumb to search anything when they're responding to a direct link to the GitHub page. They had no issues finding it; they were just pointing out the original comment in the picture is no longer there, with no marker meaning there's no "comment deleted" marker on the thread.

I highly doubt they meant all traces of the comment have been wiped from the internet. That would be silly; given we're looking at a screenshot of it on the internet.

Absolutely. You reminded me of an old hitchhikers guide quote;

It is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it... anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.

They're talking about the comment that asks whether the issue is resolved, rather than the follow up comment that you've googled.

If you click the link you'll see that it is indeed missing.

You think that's impressive? I've responded to a comment from someone who spoke to the friend of the guy that posted this photo.

It's the same logic Israel uses to justify it's actions against Palestine; Or how Russia justifies it's attacks on Ukraine. I can't help you understand why tarnishing an entire nation is a terrible precident to set. But equally, I think you already understand this, And are just continuing to act in bad faith.

Sure, I can make it real simple and just explain the concept.

I don't believe I'm responsible for stuff that happened hundreds of years before my birth; that's a dangerous precedent to set and leads to rampant persecution of entire nations (like you inciting violence upon British people for example, and feeling like that's an okay stance to take).

As for current events, I believe we do have a responsibility to call out and work to correct any injustice at every juncture, and pride myself on trying to doing so. That being said; much like you haven't magically fixed the persecution of aboriginals in Australia, or Israel's persecution of Palestine (which Australia is complicit in too btw...) ; there is only so much we commoners can achieve.

So instead of flinging muck at 70 million people because of their nationality, try finding common ground. Your abrasive nature serves nothing but sowing discord.

I appreciate this will likely fall on deaf ears, and you'll probably resort to further projecting of your own feelings of frustration, so this is the last time I attempt to appeal to your better nature; I'm not fortunate enough to be retired, so I can't waste any more energy on attempting to help you see reason.

For the Irish famine or the aboriginal persecution? try to be more specific with your questions, Block away. You refuse to acknowledge my questions let alone answer them, so I fail to see why I shouldn't show you the same courtesy.

Australians were considered British citizens is you initially shirking all responsibility elsewhere, which is how this entire conversation started.

Frame what as your fault? The racism? I thought you said you were taking responsibility... Now I'm just confused. Are you responsible or not?

I'm the one arguing in bad faith? Yet more hypocrisy

Edit: I didn't feel the need to bring up Charles, because I agree with you that the monarchy needs to be abolished. So not sure why you think that would have riled me up. It's just your hypocrisy that I find difficult to swallow

You said you would use the guillotine on multiple British politicians; and even went as far as to deflect the blame for the ongoing persecution of aboriginals to british citizens. Not once have you suggested you even hold Australia accountable for its ongoing systemic issues with racism towards natives, let alone yourself.
