I'm tired of being told we are all doomed when I see cultural awakening all around me. Custodians are returning to thier waters. Entire families are camped out on thier Lands, far away from media view The Sovereigns are waging a quiet war on colonisation. Always Was, Always will be Aboriginal Land.

The Palestinians are being asked to sign a peace deal that will end with them giving up land to Israel, even though Israel has been breaking international law since 1967 by occupying land in Palestine. Why should Israel’s illegal occupation be rewarded by this deal?

When your premier things the word Toxic refers to being intoxicated…. No mate. It means its poisonous/kills cells. I dont think all the dead fish are dead because the algae is suffocating them and no other effects. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

SA Premier says algal bloom is not 'toxic', despite word appearing in official government advice

I imagine the tribes that cultivated those lands for thousands of years and knew every inch of country felt like that as they were slaughtered and subjugated. We see them.stateless. white supremacy harms all.

If you want south Africans to have a better reputation campaign your community not ask us to turn a blind eye. I don't judge anyone from where they are from, but I have never met a non racist yt sth African. I'm not saying they don't exist.

It doesn't matter where you are from. It matters that you differentiate yourself from the stereotypical sth Africans first by acknowledging the racism of colonisation and realising why they are seen like that.

Nah I agree, only ones more rabidly racist are Israelies but the funny thing about being Australian, is you can be from anywhere, but if you are white you can just be an Australian. Colonies are like that.

First they took people dying from terminal diseases off of sickness benefits, gutted the NDIS and now , in the time of long covid, disabled people work or starve. I'm not kidding. This is Tory policy 101.

They are using the same tropes as the UK. Lobbyists and corporations are not bidding to enrich Australia, but are directly rubbing politicians pockets.

There are pockets of ye olde settler racisms but these racisms are new, and ideologically driven by parliament and its arm in the media.

The initial crime was horrendous. The outcome handed down by the courts is apartheid. The man got a punishment reserved for first offender teens misdemeanours like shoplifting for murder , and boasting about it using language reserved for a hate crime.
