    Yeah, Ned Kelly was harrassed his whole life by rich land owners, and corrupt officials, in my opinion, Ned Kelly was a working man who's had enough. He was a criminal there is no denying that, but only when all other avenues in life were blocked by the corrupt. A man can only get stepped on so many times before he steps back, at least that's my opinion.

      Crowe Man you have no idea have you Crowe. There were no squatters in the Greta during the Kelly outbreak. The police were not corrupt as the Royal Commission found. The only people that were trodden on was Kelly's victims who he abused terribly. Kelly complained about the police who were rightly investigating his stealing of 280 horses.

One activist told German news outlet Deutsche Welle that women have been putting up with street harassment and sexual assaults since long before the refugee crisis began:
      “Because refugees are now a burning topic, the media all of a sudden report about these events, but what nobody wants to admit is that these things happen all the time. I’m sorry to break this to you, but German-born men also harass and rape.”"

    So a bit of background about what's going on here. Why are they such jerks to the Kelly's (aside from the fact they're poor)? Because at this time in Britain and her colonies there's this belief that criminality isn't a choice as much as it's natural and instinctive, you inherit it from your parents. Here's Ned Kelly son of that thief Red, right? Makes sense that he's a thief too, or at least in this view. In fact so prevalent is this belief it's one of the reasons they colonized Australia, they wanted a place to ship all these criminals away from Britain to clean up the gene pool so to say. It's better than killing them outright right?

    And this is why you don't push a normally good person until they runs out of options, because at some point, they will snap and things will go VERY VERY VERY bad for everyone involved.
    Because someone who has always leaned bad will gloat and flaunt and eventually get caught or betrayed. A good man turned bad is a lot less likely to end up like that.
    You REALLY don't want to push a good man to their breaking point, it's not pretty.

At least that's what I can glean from it, it's my first time hearing of this myself.

      Yeah, Ned Kelly in Australia is almost always treated as a heroic figure, or at best told in a somewhat balanced manner.
      Very few cast him as an outright villain.
      Robin hood is an apt comparison in terms of legend. I wouldn't say Ned Kelly had any of the grandiose noble aims that are attributed to Robin Hood, but it's more in how the stories are told, rather than the details that makes them seem like similar figures.

      This is very true even today. Where a person out of jail tries to live an honest life but with his criminal record he can't find work and if he did its hardly sustainable. So in order to survive they have to go back to their life of crime. The only ones I know that have beaten this catch 22 were people with a very good skill (e.g. electrician) set and even then they have to work much harder in order to keep their job.

      You want to know what a bad person looks like? look at someone when they both have power, and when they have none, and see what they do in both situations. Take into account the situations and culture they find themselves in before judging actions.
      If you ask me Ned Kelly broke under the weight of an unjust system and did some horrible things as a result, but at least managed to maintain some dignity towards the end from what little I've read. Ned Kelly was no hero, but under the circumstances I can't judge him as being a "bad" person.

It was just you and a wall of feathers anywhere you went. Crazed, those birds. Crazed. It was like Hitchcock meets Zulu and I was Michael Caine. So does it matter? Does that suicide mission dressed up as a war matter to farmers now? Why don't you ask the boys, from farm hand owner, whose souls went back to the Lord on the field at Campion.

    • @extrahistory
      @extrahistory  7 років тому +10

      As an American who is also used to hearing "squatter" associated with poverty, this threw me for a loop as well. ;) In Australia, colonists who arrived early and/or had a lot of money would go out and build ranches on "unclaimed" land. The British Crown considered that land the territory of their government, hence these people were squatting on government land... BUT they also got to build these big ranches before anybody else did, which made them even more rich. By the time the colonial governments in Australia got around to trying to reclaim that land, the squatters had become very well established and successfully fought off (most of) the government's attempts to take their property back. Many felt that they had earned the land by risking their necks to settle it - Australia has always been famous for its deadly wildlife/climate/etc. Eventually, the word "squatter" came to be associated with rich people whether or not they'd earned their property by squatting on it. Look up the "squattocracy" ("squatter aristocracy") if you want to learn more about it!
      NB: All of this is a pretty Euro-centric summary of what "squatters" were. The land they were squatting on belonged to the aboriginal people, which they refused to recognize. -Soraya

    You just know that one of those rich neighbors was Robert Walpole, fleeing to Australia with his remaining wealth. Haw dare you, Robert, they were innocent people!

    A couple of points (minor ones). You didn't include the part where Ned meets up with Wild Wright (who stole the horse that landed him in prison) and had a 21 round bare-knuckle boxing match with him and won (the two became friends afterwards). Additionally Ned didn't work as a blacksmith, he was a "treefeller" (another word for lumberjack) and was actually very successful at it. He also worked for a time as a bricklayer and the overseer at a sawmill. Not major stuff as you can see, but just little touches that help shape Ned's character in this period of his life. Otherwise I'm loving this series!

    When you push a man, never be surprised when that man pushes back harder.
    Ned Kelly retaliated against a system that was stacked against him from the beginning.

      Arrow. So please tell us how the system was stacked against him. He stole more than 280 horses, mainly from poor settlers. Kelly was never pushed as you claim.
