What exactly happened on invasion day? And why is it celebrated, I'd prefer to get all the facts before passing final judgment on what I think about it.
January 26th, 1788 the first of 11 convict ships landed in Sydney cove, rose the Union Jack and claimed a new colony for Great Britain, 18 years after James Cook 'discovered' Australia - The official name for today being 'Australia Day' (how very original, might I add)
It should be recognised as the date that begun the obliteration of an entire culture and race. Australian aboriginals (like most indigenous peoples of 'new lands') have been royally fucked over for the past 200 + years, and I don't really feel the need to celebrate this fact like most of the rest of the country does. National propoganda and patriotism is disgusting, makes me feel sick.
RJ, the obliteration of other peoples and cultures has been going on for millenia, not the last 200 years or so. People after people have conquered and destroyed each other, it's not something that has only happened to Aborigines and Native Americans, it has happened to others world wide since the beginning of civilization.
Your point being... what exactly? RJ is australian, seems reasonable that's the country he'll get worked up about. The australian aborigines have been fucked over and are still being fucked over. A bit of historical repetition doesn't change anything.
