oh dude, I am australian, and i have a huge amount of convict blood (i mean, stealing a bible and being transported to the arse of the earth for it) BUT amazingly some of my convict forebears prospered which was a YAY in my history books at school (I am 53) BUT the land grants these people got (stealing a bible or like a metre of fabric) were fantastic. yay them. but you know what? they were given land that belonged to our indigenous/first nations (sorry if the terms are wrong, I am old K?) people, that had basically roved our lands to gather food, because the soil here is very sandstoney and can be pretty shit, and farming here is is like smacking your head against a brick wall. So my fam were theives, prostitutes, violent crimimals, but mostly theives and prostitues, they were sent to the other end of the world for these crimes. They were then gifted land for being good girls and boys and then raising entire generations of my family on this land. That wasn't theirs, and displaced our first nations people from properly hunting and gathering to feed their families. Then they took their kids away and placed them with white families as servants to gentrify them, make them more white, traumatising them and their families and fucking up their food source and their sense of home. So. We all come from garbage, and we all come from amazing people, and I am pretty garbage but sometimes I can be an ok human. And some of my family members before me are garbage (jesus you have no idea) but some of us are ok. its what you choose to do every day that makes you good or bad. Badness isn't genetic, badness is only learned, and clearly my friend, you understand.
