I don't think you grasp quite what i mean or what daily oppression looks like to indigenous people.

Climbing is kinda like the TV show Neighbours... and there's no big family of blackfullas on Neighbours.
... this is why every time i go climbing, no one ever gets my jokes. *boom tish*

Most of our lives we (blackfellas) go about the world in an alien society/culture that is completely different from the life we experience at home/on country. Language, humour, fashion, food, etc. Everything.

... another interesting subconscious behaviour.

The fear, that once power and control is given up, that abusing positions of privilege, might result in repercussions, and the associated paranoid belief, that those that were oppressed are now only seeking to reverse that oppression and abuse in order to exact some kind of revenge. Kinda like FOMO? :P
