I swear it wasn’t until the last ten years that it started to bleed over into the mainstream. 

Before then, I remember distinctly that it was basically granted that people knew and acknowledged that Indigenous nations had suffered as a result of colonisation,  but also also generally accepted that history was nuanced and one couldn’t just disregard the entirety of colonial history and the significance of the First Fleet as “white man bad”.

It feels like the way this is is discussed now has shifted into these vile, binary, oversimplified terms and we’re entirely worse off as a nation for it.

Hell, I remember being in university in 2010 and having an African lecturer in a history course telling us that “ We should acknowledge the damage that colonisation has caused, but I also think there’s a problem in living in and enjoying the fruits of a country that was developed through a process of colonisation and, while insisting that colonisation was entirely negative”.

I can’t imagine anyone with a platform being able to say that just over ten years later and being able to get away with it.

the date of Australia day was never even controversial yet now it's treated like a day of massacres when not one Aboriginal was shot on January 26 1788; the garrison weren't going to point their rifles away from the convicts for a fucking second, don't kid yourself.

They hate Australia day because it's the day white people started living here, lol, the self-hating white lefties don't actually care about blackfellas
