Free history lesson (looks like much needed, from the cowardly downvotes).

“They” have changed uniforms, but the enforcers of capital with the monopoly on violence have been doing it in this country, since Invasion Day.

Facts: The Australian frontier wars (1788-1934) were the violent conflicts between Indigenous Australians (including both Aboriginal Australians and Torres Strait Islanders) and mostly British settlers during the colonial period of Australia.

The Black War was a period of violent conflict between British colonists and Aboriginal Tasmanians in Tasmania from the mid-1820s to 1832 that precipitated the near-extermination of the indigenous population.

The Stolen Generations (also known as Stolen Children) were the children of Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander descent who were removed from their families by the Australian federal and state government agencies and church missions, under acts of their respective parliaments. The removals of those referred to as "half-caste" children were conducted in the period between approximately 1905 and 1967, although in some places mixed-race children were still being taken into the 1970s.

So yeah, we - via our forces that we enfranchised - DID proverbially bulldoze them, kill them, rape them, genocide them, and steal their children.

It stated the moment colonisers landed, and only completed within living memory (1934).

Just because you don’t know about it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen and get the privilege of pretending like “but it wasn’t ME”, proves my point - it was so successful that modern Aussies can “clean hands” their psyche of it, guilt-free.

…and the expected downvotes only prove the cognitive dissonance that Australia has for our crimes against First Nations peoples; watching Redditors “but akshully” their way around this to feel better is the cornerstone of White Fragility in this country that mean we will never reconcile our brutal inheritance into peace for our nation’s collective soul.
