If the Union Jack sails to your shores, prepare for war, because violence is the only language they speak.
Incidentally, I lived on Wiradjuri land in Australia before I moved back to China. The warrior Windradyne earned (begrudging) respect from the British, and even got a eulogy in the newspapers in Sydney, because he died fighting settlers with his men. Even settler accounts stated he died wrapped in his cloak with weapons in hand. He and Pemulwuy are the only indigenous people to be honoured in the Sydney parliament house and they both happen to be warriors who died fighting the British.
It’s a working strategy
