✋Ahhhh mate, it’s the day Captain Cook discovered Australia
✋🏾Nahhh, it’s not Actually, that was in April in 1770
✋Oh well, it was when Australia was first discovered by white people then
✋🏾well no, that was in 1606, and you know there were people here for thousands of years before?
✋Yeah, but it’s when we became a nation, we became Australia
✋🏾Sorry, no that was 1st of January 1901, and there were many First Nations here long before
✋Well mate, it’s a bloody tradition alright, let me have my beers, beach, and barbie
✋🏾Well it’s actually only been a national holiday since 1994, so it can’t really be a tradition. But we have traditions here that date back over 60,000 years
✋What does it represent then?
✋🏾Well, it’s when convicts came over and the British Flag was raised in Warrane (Sydney Cove). It’s a National Day of Mourning for the First Nations people of this land. A day that marks the beginning of massacres, genocide, dispossession, Frontier Wars....You’d think a nation with such rich cultural history could recognise and respect their First Nations people, and at the very least, Change the Date.....? ✋✋🏾
Before you blindly follow the Elites State Propaganda, at least do your own bloody research and use your moral compass to decide “Am I on the right side of history?”
Because I can tell you right now, if we follow the Colonial Christian Philosophy of “an eye for an eye” then what happens when we make the whole world blind?
We need to use our brains, and come together in unity, and unconditional love to celebrate our species survival not divide and conquer into further labels and catergories of oppression.
We are one, but we are MANY!
All truths are but half truths.
Respect is earnt, not given.
Do what thou will shall be the whole of the law. Law under Love ✊🏽
Always was, and always will be!
