I grew up with this book on my family bookshelves: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51WviHMBjIL._SX349_BO1,204,203,200_.jpg
as forrest gump once said
stupid is as stupid does
My mum was an anthropology student.
"the social meaning of petrol sniffing in australia" tf?
Outback petrol bowsers were locked in cages at the time.
I wonder why majority of petrol sniffers are aboriginal
Never actually read it.
petrol sniffing in australia is the patriarchy
But it was a known problem at the time. No idea now.
Nah man its still a thing
The situation of Aborigines in Oz is tragic though.
Properly so.
There is no easy solution.
let people kill themselves. its what nature wants
The problem is they live in isolated communities, where they can't get the same levels of treatment as if they lived in one of our major cities
suicide is contagious
you'll do more damage than the opiod crisis
It's much worse than just isolation.
It's complete and utter humiliation.
the more people commit suicide, the more other people want to commit suicide
solve the social isolation
How are aboriginals humiliated?
don't just allow people to top themselves
is OD from drug use really the same as suicide?
By the original conquest. The reality that they were living in the stone age.
it can be a way to commit suicide
i mean the damage it would do to society/the community as a whole
but its not the same
unless ya know
it was intentionally a suicide by od
people dying makes other people want to die. I guess the human problem on earth is self correcting, wonder how we ever got here
For me, that's a massive humiliating fact that underpins ongoing problems.
if it was intentional, then it is suicide and not a simple OD
Hmm I think their act of wanting to tie in their ancestral homes to the modern day is admirable but misled
