US DEEP STATE & subverting the “anti colonial” paradigm.
In days gone by, in Australia when someone said they were “anti colonial” that automatically meant they were equally critical of both United Kingdom (Great Britain) and the United States of America and their impacts on indigenous peoples.
We also used to refer to these anti colonial Australians as “old school lefties.”
This paradigm in Australia has been deliberated changed – flipped – by Culturally Americanised Australians, who cleverly attack Britishness but don’t touch Americaness and even go the hypocritical extreme of promoting US nationalism which has colonial nasty issues with native Americans and African Americans.
It’s a very clever strategy designed to influence idealistic young Australians. The AFL, Tennis Australia, NRL, Football Australia, public service and the corporate/business sector and a plethora of Australian politicians use this clever strategy of “selective anti colonialism” which never touches Americaness in Australia !
Australia Day is banned by Australian social elites because of “British colonialism” but these very same elites regard a 19th century white American nationalist Buffalo Bill Cody who murdered Native American Indians worth promoting via Australian popular culture !
The US NFL, which glorifies the genocide of 5 million native Americans, is seen as a role model by these social and cultural elites in Australia who claim to be anti colonial and lecture others on morality. Bizarre.
BAN ON AUSTRALIA DAY
The Victorian State Premier, Ms Jacinta Allan, has banned Australia Day because of “British colonialism.” Her government hypocritically promotes US nationalism, which has its own nasty colonial issues with native Americans and African slavery.
The honourable thing for her to do now is to immediately cut funding to Australian sports bodies, the AFL and Tennis Australia which promote US nationalism via their respective sports of Australian Rules Football and Tennis.
Glorifying the likes of Christopher Columbus and in particular Buffalo Bill Cody, a 19th century white American nationalist who exterminated native Americans, makes the Victorian government look morally obscene as well as a hypocrite.
Historians estimate that anywhere between 4 to 10 million native Americans were exterminated in the United States.
