- The settler can't conceive of land not belonging to someone!

Wild as fuck mask off chauvinism. This is why I am advocating defederation from that whole instance because that mfer is one of the admins.

I'm from that god-forsaken country and I agree, any Aussie that considers "Australian" to be a part of their personality is an absolute shit removed.
-
we could always just make them a comm here or on lemmygrad for any of their non-reactionary users I guess if we can't get that dipshit replaced.

I don't see why we'd need it. Anyone who makes an account on "aussie.zone" is probably not worth interacting with, and they can make an account on another instance. It's just full of white supremacists, like that one guy who kept showing up here and saying he was Aboriginal, but regurgitated every single right wing racist talking point about how the non-whites are inferior. Any "australia" comm will be a right wing cesspit, because "loving your country" over here often means that you're a shithead racist who acts more like an American than an Australian.

I haven't browsed in a few months but it was notably less fucked than r/australia, for which I was thankful.
That said, the national brainworms here seep through into everything, lemmy included

they were able to conceive of it when the land belonged to australian natives...
how curious

"If I don't steal it, someone else will steal it."

That part isn't crazy -- for example, it doesn't make sense to say Europeans stole land from indigenous peoples unless the indigenous peoples owned it in some way.
-
-
Europeans often had a different version of land ownership than the people they colonized, but Europeans were not the only ones to develop the idea that people could have rights to use land, or use the fruits of land, or destroy some of the wealth of the land -- all property rights that can be stolen in the sense we talk about stealing lands from indigenous people.
There were also huge differences in land ownership philosophies among the many distinct societies outside of Europe, and plenty of these had land ownership laws that were not radically different from European laws.

"Colonized people knew they had rights to the land so everyone at the time knew it was stolen" is apologia for colonialism now? Really?
Beyond that, being accurate about history is inherently important.
