I don't because the evidence is overwhelming.

Each time I see a proudly flown Union Jack or St George's flag, I see, as well as aggression, ignorance & self-delusion. People telling themselves a tale about a make-believe past whose sporadic positive aspects weren't what the tellers believe. Squalid fingernails clinging to an idiot's fairy tale.

"We stress again that the plate we supply to these companies is sold under licence approved by" war criminals and human rights abusers (the Australian government) is not a defence except in a court appointed by and whose laws are written by war criminals and human rights abusers.

World's first sex worker statue returns home after 30 years Joy, a sculpture by artist Loui May, was erected in Sydney's Darlinghurst in the late 1990s. After hundreds signed a petition for its return, a bronze version was created and placed in the spot it once stood decades ago.

On top of this, consider all the appeasers and exploiters of the condition.
