Tasmania and what occurred there in how Indigenous were used against each other, that to me is some of the ugliest of Australia’s history. The members of familiar circles used to track others to eradicate them from that landmass.
After the “success” of securing Van Diemen’s Land, Batman moved to colonise what is now Melbourne. Through “Batmans Treaty” essentially a betrayal of the trust built by Buckley. But that is another story.
So I associate a treaty as the guise of a pavlovian method to trick into complacency of a larger trajectory. For those with the money to win more power.
Yet I am just another Sydney snob, a Brown nose.
And yes in a way I do look down on other ways of being, violence and corruption yet also understand the necessity of those ways at times my friend. Understand the impact of lack of nurture or education at the juvenile level. Which has also been a precedent set by the aforementioned Tasmanian trajectory.
As we need to not just look forward but also look backward to appreciate the day.
I understand we are all human, who require compassion, yet also know such a utopian ideal does not cater to the potential detriment of individual ego when pertaining to the masses.
As that detriment has already been placed within the machine from a few historical egos with their perceived certainty.
So all I can continue to do, is further communicate to you who my people are and have been as we all slowly go.
While I note the ships of the Marshallese docked in the port a few kilometres from me.
Knowing my story is nothing and that I am no one. Nothing and no one to history, as the stories that need to be told of those from the Marshall Islands are and may continue to be.
