TW: Racism, genocide, Australians who don’t know fuck all about the history of this country, just a massive trigger warning for the government in all honesty

OH FOR FUCK’S SAKE

You know, within the time spent to make this this macro- you could have easily read a bit about the often erased Indigenous cultures and identities of Australian and Torres strait Islanders.

And way to fucking go with the generalisation and erasure of the near 800 tribes and 250+ dialects and cultures shared between these communities all before the British invaded and kicked off a 200 year long genocide.

On top of that- look no further than the prominence of the woomera, the boomerang, concepts of sustainable irrigation protection of land (which were maintained for well over 40,000 years, in comparison the few decades it took white settlers to pollute the fuck out of every fucking water source available), efficient hunting which sustained the populations of the animals hunted, advanced concepts of birth control and abortion with the effective usage of tools and herbs available according to each region (information shared between neighbouring tribes btw), far more superior concepts of family planning an genealogy which managed to sustain immunity in such harsh climates for such a damn long time (and avoid incest and so on)  *breathe* the tribes in the NT were recorded to have done a fair bit of trade with the folks in Indonesia and China for a damn long time before White settlement, let’ also not forget the vital importance in knowledge of topography as demonstrated in the dot art (with specific notice to the CA crew) 

AND

IF YOU ACTUALLY PAID ATTENTION TO THE AUSTRALIAN CURRENCY

SPECIFICALLY THE 50 DOLLAR NOTE

THAT’S THE FACE DAVID UNALPON OF THE NGARRINDGERI PEOPLE ON IT. PROMINENT AUSTRALIAN INVENTOR AND PROLIFIC AUTHOR OF INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT INDIGENOUS LIT

YOU DECIDED TO BECOME A FESTERING PIECE OF SHIT.
