    jesus-christ I decided to see how it’s going with Peter.

    CW for screenshot with plenty of racisms and chauvinisms but in particular his attitude towards aboriginal culture makes me wanna pull a bush maneuver on him.

    I’m starting to really understand that we’re just an older more successful (are we tho) israel. Australia has to go.

      It makes perfect sense for a giant continent in the southern and eastern hemispheres to be anglo and christian in culture and genetics. those are the people that should be there. (indigenous people are also fine i guess but they don’t relly matter as much as the glorious anglo.) asians? people from cultures other than the british isles and northern europe? people from the southern and eastern hemispheres even? people from places very close to the australian continent? that’s completely ridiculous. the big australian continent lay fallow and devoid of churches and shopping malls until one day the anglo appeared and made australia what it always deserved to be: anglo, pink, drunk and christian

      Ah yes…the classic “We built culture and you didn’t have any beforehand so that justifies a continent-wide genocide (please ignore all the culture that previously existed we destroyed systemically and intentionally).”

      How many languages with their own stories and songs were wiped out completely from existence we’ll never know? How many landmarks and historical sites were burned down? How much art was trashed? Like there’s a giant-ass cave system with thousands of years of history where Aboriginal people lived after carving most of it out. How many similar cities were erased from history?

      Guess it was all worth it so Australia could have McDonald’s and Starbucks put in their place.
