As for the executions, well I’d love to get my hands on Charles! #NotMyKing

You don’t need to look that far back in all honesty. The Australian treatment of aboriginals has been abhorrent; and continues to this day.
Time to get your guillotine out.

Australians were considered British subjects right up until the ‘Australia Act’ of 1986. I still very much blame Britain for much of the way Indigenous Australians have been treated. In the same way that I put a lot of blame on Britain for the current war in Gaza. Or the escalating conflict between Pakistan and India.

Well yeah, it’s an easy cop out to blame a country the other side of the world for your fellow countryman’s treatment of aboriginals.
Introspection is hard; but deflecting the blame will do nothing to resolve the issue.

I never said it wasn’t Australians fault as well. This is a really reductive take that shifts the blame for colonisation. Fluffing hilarious that you’re a feddit.uk user. Cope much for your country destroying the world?
