- Comment on [Video] Australian attorney-general Michelle Rowland confirms it is now illegal in Australia to say Israel is committing genocide. 6 days ago:
the wiki says its a movement to establish a jew only land in current Palestine.
More or less, yes.
How come they have so much power over protestant countries?
Long story short, they proved themselves in the 1940s to be a powerful force in the region. The Middle East is known to be rich in resources such as petroleum oil, and it also has major trade routes like the Suez Canal (I’m sure you saw the impact of the Evergreen blockage) and land routes through Afghanistan, Iran, etc… One can see how important the region is in China’s Belt and Road Initiative. So, having a military outpost able to credibly threaten this region with overwhelming force is a very powerful tool for Western imperial powers like the US and (historical) NATO allies.
So, the Zionist Regime has influence over these countries because they want the Zionist Regime to help us keep power in the region.
CXORA mentioned the Evangelical Christianity aspect of it, which is real, but I consider that to be more the cultural propaganda reason than the underlying material reason.

Let’s not give Israel all the credit for the Australian governments’ complicity and the weapon parts we send over.
Australia is an imperial power too, you just hear less about the islands our police occupy.

These are flimsy slogans: The prison colony of Australia always had wardens in charge. And if you consider Australia to be “authoritarian”, what states aren’t authoritarian? Wouldn’t we at least be siding with Russia, Iran, and North Korea? Australia sides with the Zionist Regime because of our imperialism; because our rich can get richer by war profiteering.

No, it doesn’t. They’re not omnipotent.
And it would honestly be helpful if you have evidence of any alt accounts, because those will need to be banned.

At this point, it’s clear that the ongoing genocide is not a retaliation. The Oct 7 attacks were simply an excuse to escalate their genocide and complete the occupation of Palestine. This is common practice in invasions and wars, there’s very rarely a solid reason for war beyond seizing resources like land or oil.

- Comment on Why are the Populist Right Surging in Australia? 1 week ago:
IMO, this video feels like a recount of politician events rather than answering their title question, or analysing the rest of the situation. And I point that out because the title question really is an important question to answer if we want to counter the rise of One Nation’s populism.
- Comment on Why are the Populist Right Surging in Australia? 1 week ago:
But the right/left vote is not shifting that much.
I haven’t looked deep into it, but the polling for two-party preferred vote (which should approximate left-right) has been shifting. The Wikipedia summary chart of ALP:LNP has pretty consistently shifted from around 58 : 42 last June, to around 53 : 47 - a large shift. If we naively extrapolate the trend, the two-party preferred vote would be tied in around three or four months.
- Comment on One Nation overtakes Coalition in major new poll 1 week ago:
Yep, that’s how they do it.
We all know that social media bubbles can pull people further into different news and different social circles, which becomes normal to them, but once the neo-Nazi circles take their masks off, it’s properly insane what they believe and what they think others are ready to believe. At some point, the hypocrisies and delusions become ridiculously obvious, you’ve already mentioned a couple.
The NSN is one big exercise in projection: all the problems we face are caused by others conspiring to destroy us!
- Comment on One Nation overtakes Coalition in major new poll 1 week ago:
Thanks.
Obviously I hate Murdoch sites, but this is a rare case where it’s the better of two options.
- Comment on One Nation overtakes Coalition in major new poll 1 week ago:
Noticer News is a neo-Nazi news outlet.
I am not exaggerating or using that term loosely.
Their front page makes it pretty obvious, with articles such as “How the NSN deradicalised Australia”, “Australia needs a Royal Commission - into the Jewish lobby” and calling Joel Davis a “political prisoner”. Furthermore, “the noticer” is a meme from 4chan’s /pol/ board, referring to “noticing patterns” which they claim confirm their racial conspiracy theories - this is reflected in their publication which constantly overreports any incidents involving their scapegoats.

- Comment on Woman wearing ‘globalise the intifada’ jacket among three arrested at Sydney protest against US action in Venezuela 3 weeks ago:
the intifada was globalised in Bondi
Islamic State are anti-Palestine. In fact, the Wikipedia page on IS lists and explains why they’re an active opponent of Palestine and its political parties. Those nutjobs clearly had nothing to do with the pro-Palestine resistance.
How come the warriors against Zionism never choose to attack military, police or state infrastructure
This is, frankly, a weird thing to say. Anti-Zionists in Palestine and other countries are literally attacking the IDF military, even protesters here in Australia have targeted weapons production for years - that’s where Hannah Thomas received an eye injury by police.
I don’t know what social circles you’re in, but they’re clearly not showing the full picture if you honestly think anti-Zionists haven’t been focusing on military infra and police defending it.

I’m not around Naarm but I’ve heard about the Catalyst Centre. It’s a cool initiative with some nice projects.
FNB up here are great, they’ve been catering some of the recent protests too which is great to see.

www.bbc.com/news/articles/c87lnn09yj8o - “Trump says US will keep or sell oil seized from Venezuela”
No-ones theorising about a closed door conspiracy here. They’re seizing oil tankers and making speeches about oil, while attaching the country with the largest proven oil reserves in the world.
Countries waging wars for resources might as well be the default reason for war throughout history. It’s pretty funny that you’re dismissing it as a “left wing conspiracy theory”.

- Comment on Greens Preferences Flow to Labor – 2010 and 2025 Compared | Antony Green 1 month ago:
Sure, although this article is talking about the overall two-party preferred preference flow in electorates, with Labor vs. Liberal/Nationals as those two parties. So purely in this metric our valid votes will flow to ALP or L/NP even if we preference them as our last options, and even if our local electorate doesn’t elect ALP or L/NP. If the two winning candidates in an electorate are Greens followed by One Nation, the two-party preferred preference flow chart will still only record whether you preferences ALP above L/NP.
And you’re still right, that absolutely can change, and we have some power to change it, but it takes more than us directing our own votes to make that change.
- Comment on Greens Preferences Flow to Labor – 2010 and 2025 Compared | Antony Green 1 month ago:
Yet they seem to share voters.
Please clarify how that’s relevant, I don’t understand the point that’s being made here.
People have limited choices of House voting (and in my experience, a huge amount have a limited understanding of parties or policy) so voting for a party cannot be assumed as endorsement of policies. Greens aren’t my favorite party and I’d enjoy seeing Labor leaders walk off a wharf, but I’ve lived in electorates where they were my 1 and 2 respectively.
(Note: “the voters are all wrong” is a hyperbolic statement)

- Comment on Jillian Segal misleads Senate over neo-Nazis - The Klaxon 1 month ago:
It’s refreshing when an article can just write:
This is false.
, and then, of course, prove it.
In fact, highly recommend reading the article. It’s a simple, firm breakdown of Segal’s job requirements and proof that they are not being fulfilled.
I’m glad to hear the Senate is actually asking about this blatant, public misuse of office. It would be trivially easy for Segal to have just pretended to do the job and put out a statement against the literal, self-declared neo-Nazis making public speeches at their March for Australia events. And even simpler to score an easy win to denounce the high-profile neo-Nazi flash mob explicitly targeting Jewish people. But the message is loud and clear - Jillian Segal’s job isn’t to combat antisemitism.
Segal is paid over $1,000 a day in a position costing taxpayers over $1 million a year.

- Comment on 'Dirty, disgusting money': The heiress giving away her entire fortune 1 month ago:
Yeah. Unfortunately I see a lot of people just writing platitudes like “money makes people corrupt” or “corrupt people make money” without any thoughts on how or why that’s a trend. Engelhorn starts of with an insightful point - a typical wealthy life alienates one from most of society, “They’re disconnected idiots”. This is the kind of wealth where you can pay other people to do any daily work and chores, they have as much understanding of the typical person as most of us do to a Roman citizen - sure we can read some historical facts about them (or gleam a few bits from fictional films), and can try and empathise with what we know about them, but it’s ultimately an alien life to us and we’d sure sound ignorant if we tried to write a newspaper for them.
And a reminder, this is only ~44m AUD - at least a lifetime worth of money to us, but as close to one billion as a five dollar note is to a hundred note. And some of the people who own media companies control tens and hundreds of billions - Gina is estimated at $38 billion net worth. These people have strong political power, yet no understanding of the people they rule over.

I suppose Red Flag are claiming the tactics used are why it’s not broadly supported? I’m not sure.
Where does one get anti-fascist combat training? I don’t know about any projects in Australia, apart from possibly LIFT Collective in Melbourne. There are probably a few affinity groups without internet presence rather than open organisations, maybe a SHARP might know.
Contrast with other countries with loud and proud red gyms and open martial community defense projects like 0161.
