Today we are covering the fact that wokeness, formerly called political correctness, has now infiltrated the harder sciences. Archaeology sits on the borderline of hard and soft, but is a target of the Left since it can furnish refutations, by historical evidence of most of the received Left wing ideology about human nature. There are many examples of this dealing with race, discussed below, but relevant to the Voice referendum is the idea that the Aborigines were the first inhabitants of the continent of Australia, based upon 40,000-year-old fossils found at Lake Mungo. That claim does not receive challenge today, while everything centred around European origins is subjected to deconstruction, basically along the lines, that Europeans do not exist, only migrants, so do not resist the Great Replacement, since you don’t exist except for purposes of punishment via the racism industry. Hence, with the universities no more that arenas of Leftist tyranny, it is a good idea for counter-thought to be underground, at least until the present academic system collapses from its own internal rottenness. Then comes the great rebuilding.
