bandaid.friend posted:I think it's important Aboriginal Australians are the ones who have the right to set the message on Aboriginal issues, especially considering Australia's history of denying them self-determination. I'm a member of the oppressing class, here, jumping on her for saying something I don't like is joining news corp's dogpile, which is exactly what they want I don't think it's 'jumping on her' to say that her actions didn't succeed in accomplishing the stated aim of the tens of thousands of people assembled. Honestly, the way we're terrified of critiquing anything done by a POC is pretty patronizing. And I'm not talking about her tone or her dress, I'm taking specifically about the words.

Actually there are some organisers that survive for 10+ years in the same role but they're either a useless husk by then or have gone full Judge Dredd with literally nothing else to live for. e: not to mention the drinking... my god... the drinking...

Stories like that would probably make a good PR campaign for the union movement in general. If done well it could show people what unions really do and hopefully cut through some of the anti-union bullshit that's out there.

I didn't like I, but gigantic trek nerd friends of mine insist that it became excellent in the last season or two. I didn't stick with it that long. As far as post 9/11 era sci fi goes Battlstar Galactic was much better than Enterprise, but probably suffers the opposite issue of becoming weaker as the seasons go on.

The public speaker who called for violent decolonisation is not "the left being it's own worst enemy". The call to Australia that we should be violently decolonised is good - violence not necessarily (but not excluding) in the physical sense, but rather acting violently in our reaction to colonisation. This form of violence is a valid response to colonisation, which is itself an act of violence. If you're wringing your hands worried "but we actually do need to change the date sooner rather than later!": what are you worried about losing when violent decolonisation enters the discourse (and eventually, reality)? Changing the date is a means, one of many, but the end goal is always going to be: Burn Colonial Australia TTFG Tl;dr: meat pie in a white breadroll = good, land/wage theft by genocide = bad

Self-critique is the only way to develop and learn strategy. Talk about whatever you want and critique whatever you want in the privacy of a dead gay forum imo.

If you want to have a "burn Australia to the ground" rally, go for it, just try and not let it sabotage the "we'd like to celebrate living here and now, can we do it on a day that doesn't mark the start of dispossession and genocide" rally.

Whitlam posted:Not picking on you specifically, bandaid, but I think this is a huge problem: the idea that there is a single, unified, indigenous voice. There's no such thing. The issues of indigenous people in Karratha are totally different to the issues in, say, Brunswick. Since it's a Commonwealth power, it all gets treated with the same brush, and ultimately nothing gets done (also because it's just plain not a priority, but that isn't the only issue). Abbott already solved this issue, we just have to ignore the inner-city frauds and talk to authentic indigenous folk, especially the ones furthest from Canberra and with the least power to refute any paternalistic horseshit we might want to slug them with

The shopping centre I often use has a bunch of other shops, including a cinema, but has a posted 2 hours parking limit. Cue all the people who see a movie, or go shopping and have lunch in the food court, risking getting slapped with bullshit fines.
