Was this something which was like, this is part of Aboriginal culture and now all of a sudden you've got colonizers with their police saying, that's public fighting, that's wrong.
In Ireland at the moment, we're dealing with what they've done in Ireland, which is so fucking frustrating, right?
So we have immigrants in Ireland.
These are very poor people from Afghanistan, from Syria.
And Irish racists are waving... The thing with Irish nationalism, and this is what I love about Irish nationalism...
Our nationalism is never we are better than you so we should take over.
Our nationalism has always been can we just please survive?
Can we just be ourselves?
Can we have our language, our culture?
That's what our nationalism is.
For the first time we're seeing people taking our nationalism and they're saying we're being invaded again.
They're equating Syrian and Afghani refugees with the fucking Brits.
And the thing...
We've the benefit of being fucking... Within the system of race, we are considered white.
Within that construct of privilege, we are considered white.
Which means when we fucking speak...
All those other people that are considered white have to listen.
So we've got a lot of power there.
And 800 years of fucking colonization is no crack.
And you have to do something positive with it.
