    They’re not posts “about aboriginal people”. They’re posts about Australia day.

    It should be a day to celebrate indigenous people and indigenous history, from Tullamareena for burning down Melbourne jail, to A. M. Fernando for protesting covered in skeletons outside of Buckingham Palace.

    I think Australia Day is used to celebrate the wrong things, and I’ll downvote posts I think do that. That’s my business and you’re not the fucking moral police of me cunt face.

      Don’t you think it’s kind of gaslighting to tell people they should just forget it’s a day of death and suffering and celebrate like everyone else?

        One of the people I mentioned was literally protesting the genocide dumb ass. See this is the thing Australians have no clue who any famous or legendary aboriginal people are.

        A M Fernando was literally say “these skeletons are all that you’ve left of my people”… And you think learning about that is “forgetting it’s a day of death and suffering”.

        Fuckin Australians on Australia day are the fucking worst.
