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.
Edit: Australia gained Responsible government (IE: making their own rules independent of the UK; though subject to higher laws like taxes etc) between 1855-1890… with full autonomy granted in the 1930s.
So you lot have had around 100 years; and the treatment hasn’t budged… Let me guess; still not the Aussies fault eh?
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?
Edit: Also, no, the Westminster Act was not full autonomy, it was the dual Australia Acts in both countries parliaments in 1986 that granted that.
You’re still deflecting. The current treatment of aboriginals is wholly down to your country. I ask again, why haven’t you got your guillotine out yet?
Exactly. And your inaction during the ongoing issues in your country aligns you with our common ancestors who did nothing way back when; so when’s the guillotine coming out?
What the fluff makes you think that I fail to act? You know literally nothing about me. I can both take responsibility, blame YOU and your country, and act to change things for the better. I am pretty consistently out protesting, and out there donating my time and money to causes looking to change the status quo, even though I am disabled and on a pension.
THIS attitude is why people blame your shitty country for these things. Grow up.
Now, with all of that emotion about how I know nothing about your activism, try applying that same logic to the British people you’re so vehemently against.
This entire conversation has been an attempt to point out your hypocrisy.

“as well”.

There’s no statute of limitations on genocide.

Ohhhh you’re so close to getting it.

No.
