Hey comrades I wish I was more active on here. But sadly I haven’t. I hope you’re all well.

This post is to tell you all that Australia is basically a neo-colony to Amerikkka and I hate it. ALP fully supports AUKUS and i’m sure LNP does as well and I fucken hate it.

    I can’t believe the Australian state exists, as in the “concept” of the Australian state. The idea that a bunch of people from a faraway archipelago in a completely different climate would come to annihilate the original people of an entire continent on the opposite side of the planet that could hardly be more different than their homeland is nuts. The whole thing just feels like some kind of fever dream of historic fiction, but yet it exists. What are they even doing down there? It’s like if Fordlandia in the Amazon rainforest actually worked out. So incongruent

      You see when the American colonies declared independence in 1776, Britain’s source of agricultural goods started to dry up. They needed a replacement colony because they were losing the American Revolutionary War hence the invasion of Australia started in 1788. Since slavery was abolished, they had to use prisoners as their cheap labour force.
