#decolonise

4 posts3 participants2 posts today

4 days ago someone made a post in the Orange Community Facebook group complaining about "indigenous kids on illegal motorbikes distributing methamphetamines in my street", detailing how he'd called the cops who were doing nothing and now he was "going to go to the papers".. a lot of responses were talking about "the good old days when cops would give these people the old phonebook treatment".

Yesterday an anonymous post appeared to warn people they'd found a cable wire tied across the street at chest height (they'd taken it down, but someone might put it back up), and people in the comments defending the action saying if the cops won't solve the problem that they might have to.

Australia is a racist fucking cesspit.

"Why do we need to celebrate something over a period of time to promote consumerism and capitalism that perpetuates colonialism which, at the core of it, goes to the root of the exploitation of Indigenous lands?" Janis Makokis, via @Songstress28@Twitter
