Savages.
A barbaric culture located in the Antipodes and founded on primal principles of violence continues its bestial celebration of failed attempts to annihilate the world’s oldest surviving peoples from the face of the Earth.
Every January 26 these brutal creatures, ironically subscribing to mythologies of “Enlightenment” and “Civilisation”, choose to spend the day getting ratfaced and starting race riots rather than providing evidence of their basic humanity.
This twisted death cult ritual is perhaps unsurprising for a culture which glorifies the sacrifice of its most vulnerable for the Gods of profit.
Nonetheless, you can’t help but hope these heathens would evolve from their crude customs of cruelty and instead spend January 26 mourning the genocide it represents, and honouring the immense, courage, dignity, and fortitude of the First Australians.
