Anonymous Coward User ID: 16762662 United States 11/28/2019 12:44 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | That is not who was sent to populate Australia. The worst of the worst were sent there, they emptied the prisons and asylums and shipped them there. Yes a few innocent people likely got caught up in it, but by far Australians are descendant from madness and mayhem, that's how their nation was formed, like so many other things in this reality via conflict and chaos. |

Rosicrucian1 User ID: 70585940 Canada 11/28/2019 01:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | why are they still pushing this bullshit narrative like crocodile Dundee? Australia had continuous immigration from Euorpe from early on until recent decades. I guess like the rest of the developed world it has now gone to third world immigration for its final destruction. |

And, white people. Why the hell would they ship people thousands of miles for "minor crimes?" To colonize ? Use good people to colonize. |

People got executed for major crimes. And, white people. Why the hell would they ship people thousands of miles for "minor crimes?" To colonize ? Use good people to colonize. Maybe they were 'good' in a lot of ways. Not the poachers in the song, so much, but maybe for some, poaching and other desperate measures were the only way they could feed their families. I think with the 19th century coming-on-strong of 'Mr Darwin' and resurgence of ancient 'eugenics' ideas [or maybe they'd never really gone away in the first place?]..... well-you know- like the kind of thing Alan Watt used to go on about ? : "The Darwin and Wedgwood families" and their interbreeding for generations until, according to him, they began getting some pretty 'inbred'-sounding results? And I think it was Alan Watt whom I remember saying that, for instance, by the time E. G. Welles came along [and was very intellectually gifted] , the best he could hope for was to be kind of a 'life-peer' [?], but not join the ranks of the hereditary elite, because the planned speciesization/splitting of the human race by methods as outlined by Bertrand Russell, e.g.- "Diet, injections, and injunctions will combine, from a very early age, to produce the sort of character and the sort of beliefs that the authorities consider desirable, and any serious criticism of the powers that be will become psychologically impossible." was already well-underway, it was believed 'on high' at least, at the time. I hope this makes some sense, because I'm tired out now, both from trying to write it, and from how pretentious it sounds. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 73666345 Yes. And one of the most criminalized traits was religious non-conformity, which might be a sign of 'good' , or at worst'neutral', and not necessarily a sign of poor quality. |
