So many people are "leftists" until Indigenous people/rights/activism/inclusion is brought up. Not even land back specifically, just "we don't deserve to be murdered by cops and doctors, have our children taken by CPS for no reason, and be forced by society to remain in generational cycles of poverty and trauma" is a hot take that a lot of "ACAB, be gay do crime" leftists just can't handle

I've learned the hard way to ask the hard questions straight away and avoid working with leftist organisations like these unless absolutely necessary. I encourage non-Indigenous people to do the same. Challenge them on their ignorance, but if it doesn't work, find somewhere else. They're not worth your time and they won't get anywhere without solidarity.

okay actually I'm going to make a separate post about this because too many people ignore it on all my other posts. When referring to Aboriginal peoples (First Nations peoples of so-called Australia), you ALWAYS capitalise the A because we are a PEOPLE, proper noun. SECONDLY, "aboriginies" "abo" and any use of a phrase ending in "caste" ie part-caste, half-caste, etc ARE SLURS. DO NOT USE THEM. If you see other Aboriginal peoples using these words, it's ours to reclaim and not permission for you to use. Finally, Aboriginal people are Black and refer to ourselves as such, regardless of blood quantum. That is a fact, non-negotiable for 100s of years. It's not complicated. When in doubt just call us First Nations, or Aboriginal people (with a capital A) because that's who we are. Again, please respect Aboriginal peoples.
