Happy Australia Day! asked by Anonymous

I can’t tell if you’re trolling me or not since I’ve voiced opinions on this before (the anonymous-ness of this point to yes,) but if this is sincere then I’m here to inform you that Australia Day is a horrible excuse for a ‘holiday’ and ‘celebration’ of Australians and their culture*.

*By Australians and their culture, I mean celebration of white culture propped with copious amounts of alcohol and sausages and Australian flag merchandising and yells of ‘FUCK OFF WHERE YOU CAME FROM CUNT’ echoed amongst my Facebook feed and actual street (so far the ratio is 7:2 for today.) It is absolutely pathetic, and there hasn’t been a single Australia Day that I have not felt ashamed for my country and its belief that our history begins with White settlement.
