#Eureka Stockade

[ohmygodshesinsane]

it absolutely fucking enrages me that fucking nazis have turned the eureka flag and the stockade into some fucking white supremacist shit. like fuck you it was about rising up against an unjust system! it was part of the birth of democracy in australia! the eureka flag used to be something we could be fucking proud of and now it is being used as a symbol of oppression and hatred and it makes my blood boil.

#and yes as a kid i hyperfixated on the eureka stockade and that makes me so much more fucking angry that its been appropriated by bigots #australia #eureka stockade #history

[jasbell]

168 years ago today, the convics and miners revolted against the British. This was the eureka stockade.

Happy fuck the British day.

[soup-mother]

this is just me being fucking pissed and won't make any sense but i genuinely fucking despise Australia and our entire cultural identity as a nation. i barely have words.

our culture of militarism and hiding that behind "the Anzac spirit" (fucking joke) and whinging that we keep dying in someone elses war and then signing up for the next one. after ww1 we were straight back into the middle east at the behest of mother England.

massive nation of racist whingers.

STOP JOINING THE ARMY THEN CUNT. you're mad America sucks to be friends with then stop being friends with them. it's not like it'd be better if they were out wars either. stop whining when you fucking volunteered to join our racist fucking army. christ. you had a choice there you could have just not fucking joined the institution that exists to kill people. like you fully cannot get it through your fucking skull that soldiers kill people and joining the army puts you in harms way and a gun in your hands. fuck

or like i can't even stand looking at the eureka stockade flag it's like "aussie union spirit" for the fucking gold rush. fucking settler extraction colony since day fucking one. especially turning it into some fucking patriotic symbol some cunt will fly on a ute next to a "fuck off we're full" sticker.

we're super multicultural so *everyone* can take part in the Australian dream of being a massive cunt, don't you want to feel proud of the country that put your family in a detention centre for years? we've got lamb!

only one female Prime minister ever and every PM has been white btw.

the people who see some of those issues and then just fucking act like it'll be fine if we make a couple changes and become an *independent* asshole settler with a president who can be a white Christian man instead who enforces harsh border policy and keeps supporting fucking wars. fucking hell. can't believe anyone fucking believes this shit what a joke.

i can never find it but that post like "Australian larrakin culture wants to distract you from the fact we're a nation of bloodthirsty bootlicking hyperfascists" lives forever in my mind. fucking literally.

oh btw did you know our cops have their own thin blue line flag? and we have our own "woopsie daisy there's Nazis in the army" scandals? we can be just like the US just with more of a sunburn and more mullets.

oh yea did you know bluey the kids show bluey had an episode where someone's dad was in the army? to make kids feel represented for having army parents? even dog Australia is killing people in far off countries! doesn't that make you feel seen? that even dogs have warcriminal cunts in their family just like your mum and dad?

racist joke of a country that shouldn't fucking exist.

ok i think I've gotten that out of my system. fuck.

Ade, what’s the scar on your nose from? (sorry if that’s a sensitive topic for you)

"No worries, mate. It's not a sensitive topic at all! Got this scar back in 1854 during the Battle of the Eureka Stockade. Took a sword to the face during that, and the scar's been a part of me ever since. The Rebellion stuck in my people's hearts, so the scar stuck to me." "Or you could just have a laugh and reckon this scar was my first crack at breakin' free from the Brits, mate!"

In 1854, discontent among gold miners in Ballarat, Victoria, culminated in the Eureka Rebellion, triggered by unjust taxation and corruption in the colonial government. Led by Peter Lalor, miners took up arms and built a stockade to defend their rights. On December 3rd, British soldiers and Victorian police stormed the stockade, resulting in a brief but deadly battle. The rebellion led to reforms, including the replacement of the gold licence with the cheaper Miners Right, granting miners voting rights and marking a significant step towards Australian democracy. Peter Lalor, wounded in the battle, later became a prominent figure in Victorian Parliament, symbolizing the Eureka spirit of resistance against oppression and advocacy for the people's welfare.

The Eureka Rebellion is revered in Australian history, embodying principles of equality, fair governance, and democratic participation. Its spirit is synonymous with democracy, and the Southern Cross flag remains a powerful symbol of Australian values and empowerment. Eureka's legacy is deeply ingrained in Australian culture, celebrated in various forms of expression such as prose, poetry, art, theatre, and film, ensuring its enduring significance in the national consciousness.

>Hope that answers the question okay! Eureka Stockade

Today we remember the spirit of the working class antifascist.

Whether it be the mass multicultural workers Eureka Stockade or those that pushed back during and after the infamous Cronulla riots.

Nazis don’t have culture, so they co-opt what isn’t theirs.

Head back to Europe, use those running skills.

Working Class, antifascist and proud.

Australia's Cryptids The Monks Are Keeping You Safe From

Down-under, there have been as many paranormal events as anywhere else. Over the years many strange things have happened there. Ned Kelly himself once spoke of strange creatures in the bush. There have also been multiple UFO sightings.

The trust territories are patrolled by the RAF, whose reports are entirely credible. A famous cryptid of the region is the yowie. Like bigfoot, it is a large hairy hominid. Kadnook is especially notorious.

A hunded or so sightings of strange lights and weird beasts have come out of there. Bunyips are one of the ones to really look out for. Of its favourite habitats is the swamp. Usually it is described as a large black seal-like animal. The Aboriginal mythology however refers more to a devil or evil spirit.

Macfarlane's interpretation of the beast is most well known, but one should refer to the Aboriginal mythology on this matter. Overall, it is universally regarded as an aquatic creature. Nowadays, the foremost cryptid of Australia is the Australian Tiger. Knowing this species is extinct makes sightings of it alive in the modern era a cryptid by the true definition of cryptozoology. Still many scientists refuse to act upon Australian Tiger sightings, so this species may be doomed to true extinction if it really is out there.

I for one believe it is. The drop-bear should not be considered a cryptid.

It is actually a joke played on tourists. So if an Australian warns you about drop-bears, remember they're just referring to the harmless koala.

Most UFO stories and cryptid sightings can be written off as drunken tales. Eureka Stockade might be a good place to search for blue box sightings. Many historical events such as this tend to attract it. Otherwise the mythology of Australia is quite unique. Read all about it. You wont regret it.

Considering how wonderful the monks are and how well they protect us, you can rest assured you will be safe exploring the outback. Really, it would be highly unlikely that an alien creature would bring you harm. I am sure any threats to human life have been dealt with by them. Melbourne's many statues of the monks are a testament to this. Everyone enjoys a life of freedom thanks to the monks.

Whether you believe in UFOs and cryptids or not, sometimes strange things do happen. It is good to ask questions, as only then can the monks guide us. Little by little, we will learn. Learn the monk's truth.

Kilwa Sultanate coins have been found in Australia. It is interesting that they should appear there as they have come all the way from East Africa. Lake Mungo, a possible home of the bunyip, is where the oldest human remains in Australia were excavated. Like, totally rad!

Unknown lights in the sky are much more interesting than cryptids, however.

Well, some reports anyway. Entirely too many of them are made up.

Koalas may be the true identity of the drop bear, but what about Burrunjor? Now unreported for 40 years, it is believed to be extinct even by cryptid standards. Often called “old three toes”, this reptilian cryptid is thoughts to be a survivor of the Cretaceous period. Will more dinosaurs show up in Australia?

The outback vampire, yara-ma-yha-who, is a sort of red goblin. He has a large head and no teeth. Even without teeth, it manages to drain its victim's blood due to vampirit suckers on its fingers. You better hope you never meet this red frog-man!

All rivers have their monsters. Really, it's not just Loch Ness! Even Hawkesbury has its lake monster.

Lake Hawkesbury is home to a plesiosaur-like monster. It was discovered in the 1800s. And it was referred to as the Moolyewonk. Ready to visit Australia yet? So many mysterious creatures to see!

In History we were learning about the eureka stockade and i went “this sounds familiar, have i already learnt this?” So i started thinking about where i learnt about the eureka stockade

It was from a fucking fanfic on ao3

I learnt about the eureka stockade from a fUCKING FANFICTION ON ARCHIVE ON OUR OWN

And i also learned about the holocaust by reading a fANFIC ON FANFICTION.NET THAT WAS BASED OFF OF A FUCKING VOCALOID SONG ABOUT THE HOLOCAUST

#my expectations for myself are so low yet somehow i still manage to dissapoint myself #history #fanfiction #vocaloid #prisoner and paper plane #kagamine len #kagamine rin

[pursueownpassion]

Check out this listing I just added to my Poshmark closet: Eureka Women’s Universe GoPro Ballet Flats w/Bow & Heart Gold Charm SZ 7.

[soup-mother]

every time i hear the non-binary prospector joke about "gold in them their hills" i think to myself "wow, non-binary colonisers" and then start thinking angry explodey thoughts about Australia's romanticising of the gold rush.

diversity win, these colonisers tearing up stolen land for gold stood up for their labour rights! (and now half the people flying the eureka stockade flag are trade unionists and the other half are white supremacists)
