dameyon @dameyon.bsky.social · 28/10/2023The elite capture of FN disadvantage mobilised by high follower accounts through rage farming techniques thus increasing individual social & financial reward through neoliberal approaches by exploiting & catastrophising suicide, racism & cop brutality for profit—disaster capitalism at its most foul. 000
dameyon @dameyon.bsky.social · 28/10/2023Over on platform X, it’s genuinely vulgar the FN folks of high follower count who use racism, suicide, disadvantage, incarceration and injustice as means to fundraise their enterprise/s. The grifters’ tell—a donate link is not too far away. 000
dameyon @dameyon.bsky.social · 27/10/2023I see this, “It makes white people feel good, that you’re helping a poor Aboriginal child,”…very thing happening in Indigenous suicide to raise money, and yes, “it’s sickening.” Warren Mundine wants an audit of Indigenous funding.

The result of the referendum has left leaders feeling "rejected". 000
dameyon @dameyon.bsky.social · 22/10/2023Some cashing in are FN social media types who a) didn’t support the Voice, b) were ambivalent while dragging it or c) “changed” to yes, rattling their gofundme grifting cans or the like.

Almost all of them focused on Indigenous consulting work, the kind of work the Voice to Parliament would have overseen. 354

Voting booth data shows they backed Yes in large numbers. 001
dameyon @dameyon.bsky.social · 16/10/2023The Blak Sovereignty movement and the Progressive No betrayed remote communities across this country. Communities and FN people most disadvantaged and who would have benefited the most from a Yes vote were hung out to dry by inner-city Blak crusaders with idealistic slogans and chants. 200
dameyon @dameyon.bsky.social · 16/10/2023We are in the era of the elite capture of FN disadvantage—a time that began in the wake of George Floyd and BLM Australia that birthed the GoFundMe grift. FN disadvantage has been hijacked for individual careerism in an age where profitable rage-farming has spawned FN neo-liberalism. 210
dameyon @dameyon.bsky.social · 16/10/2023It’s a week of mourning, yet there are the usual suspects of FN people panhandling on Twitter. If it’s not rage-farming racism, it’s giving suicides the poverty-porn treatment for crying out loud. For just one week, give it a rest. Remote communities are grieving—it’s not an opportunity for gains. 000
dameyon @dameyon.bsky.social · 10/09/2023📷 The last 6 weeks as I’ve clocked over 12,000km, visiting remote and regional NT communities and towns invited to talk about sex, sexuality and gender diversity, and the power and role of family and community acceptance in FN LGBTIQA+SB suicide prevention. Around 1,800km to go. 051
dameyon @dameyon.bsky.social · 20/08/20238,000km was a bit of an underestimation, with three more weeks on the road & having clocked 8,170km as of this morning. By mid-September & at the finish of this contract, I’ll ratchet up just under 12,000km over the seven weeks I would’ve been on the road. saferspaces.lgbt 000
