Australia is a settler colonial project built on the genocide of indigenous populations, its in the bones of your country like it is in the US, and like we inspired Nazi Germany to be

In the best of cases overcoming this history would be difficult, but we live in a world where this is not the best of cases, and where for most of history the ruling class has gone the other direction and misinformation and lies are more common than learning real history
