- Comment on ADF member who trained with neo-Nazis allegedly caught with child abuse and extremist material 1 day ago:
Honestly, I’m only half surprised. I know of at least two instances of child-abuse plus neo-Nazi material being discovered in German police groups (the first linked article is of an investigation of a far-right police chat being discovered when searching the phone of an SEK officer after finding pedophilic texts). As far as I’m concerned, the links between police jobs, neo-Nazism and child abuse are not mere coincidence, there are material reasons why this triangle appears repeatedly.

[Senator Hanson’s comments] that she felt “unsafe” and not welcomed in the area.
After the decades of garbage Hanson’s said about Muslims, continuing to this day, the fact that they’re welcoming Hanson to break bread is outstanding.

disagreeing with what is considered art is fascist
Fascism certainly is a nebulous concept, but this is just diluting it. Censorship is not fascism, even if fascists support censorship.
- Comment on Police seize art posters depicting Trump, Putin and Netanyahu in Nazi uniforms from Canberra bar 2 days ago:
It’s pretty silly to pretend it’s strange that people would react differently.

- Comment on [Video] Australian attorney-general Michelle Rowland confirms it is now illegal in Australia to say Israel is committing genocide. 3 weeks 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.
- Comment on [Video] Australian attorney-general Michelle Rowland confirms it is now illegal in Australia to say Israel is committing genocide. 3 weeks ago:
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? 4 weeks 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? 4 weeks 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 4 weeks 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 4 weeks 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 4 weeks 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 1 month 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 2 months 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 2 months 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)
