No, that’s not the real question. The real question is, why is this in “Australian Politics”?
The article doesn’t even mention Australia in passing. We’re well aware that our politics is linked to the USA but that doesn’t make all USA foreign policy worth posting in this community. This is a federated platform, most of us see posts from other communities where this post should be made.

I want to raise a point on the “Nazi talking points” response:
- On one hand, it’s certainly more useful when a report is more specific, yes. I know plenty of fascist talking points which aren’t common knowledge or obvious.
- On the other, it sounds like they’re talking about Lebensraum - “living space”. If we look at it technically, it was a common concept in German politics decades before the Nazi Party was formed. And it’s a far cry away from the various social reforms implemented in the Third Reich you mentioned. But in context, I think it’s clear that someone on aussie.zone reporting a post for “Nazi talking points” is reporting that a post is fascistic, supporting the supremacist aspects Nazism is famous for. People surely aren’t going to report pro-vegetarian posts for this reason, or even anti-union posts (despite the crushing of worker’s organisations being core to fascism).
Lebensraum is a relatively infamous policy, and one which neo-Nazis like the NSN explicitly invoke. They’re never holding up banners saying “protect the wildlife”, “support animal rights” or “fast roadways now!”, this is the bigoted supremacy generally associated with Nazism and carried on by neo-Nazism.
If you delete all the users from your politics community that you don’t agree with, what is the point of the community?
But this isn’t just “all the users you disagree with”, or even just disagreement - if someone, when discussing an expansionist regime, tries to justify “living space”, that makes me think that person might well want me thrown in a camp and killed. It’s no smoking gun, but it’s a loud wolfwhistle.

I don’t see the point in beating around the bush.
A glance at the homepage tells us that Nazism would break the first 3 instance rules, there’s no reason to expect it to be allowed. The difficulty comes when bigoted rhetoric is subtle enough to go unrecognised, or has been normalised. So it would help to know which comment is repeating which talking points.

This is a user on aussie.zone on the meta community of aussie.zone talking about a user of aussie.zone.
And it’s bizarre and ridiculous to claim that lemmy.ml allows Nazis.

The behaviour being described is insane. If this legislation filled a legal gap which enabled this sort of behaviour to be prosecuted substantially beyond just stalking and harassment, then it’s great to see it’s finally in action.

It’s the correct link, it’s just blocking access for you (my guess is they’re blocking either non-Australian IP addresses or maybe VPN)
- Comment on How are we feeling about the UN guys? 1 week ago:
When does the lunacy cease I wonder.
If history is an indicator, it won’t cease on its own. It takes power in the hands of people to truly pressure a government to act smart, or to replace it with a better system.
- Comment on How are we feeling about the UN guys? 1 week ago:
The United Nations organisation shouldn’t be understood as a neutral entity, and the fact that one of its core founders, benefactors and yes, historical funders is so brazenly rejecting it is just another signal that they have less and less interest in the facade of diplomacy.
It’s hard to say to what degree it might be replaced or salvaged (e.g. if the US elect a Democrat government), as it’s inherently used to hostile nations. I don’t believe it will be replaced through a split - the whole concept is that it’s a global organisation, not a bloc.
- Comment on Pauline Hanson censured over remarks there are no 'good Muslims' 1 week ago:
And given the fact that Australia has seen recent pro-Zionist terrorism (e.g. bomb threat in 2024), I think it’s a reasonable comparison to make.
(yes, zionists ≠ jewish people, just like Islamic State agents ≠ muslim people)
- Comment on LGBTQIA+ teens bashed and filmed in IS-inspired Sydney attacks 2 weeks ago:
I say this out of curiosity, I’m not arguing:
What should be done to stop this, beyond arresting and charging known attackers? (Obviously we’re talking about government and police, not community efforts.)
- Comment on LGBTQIA+ teens bashed and filmed in IS-inspired Sydney attacks 2 weeks ago:
Shame this will be ignored
Ignored by who? Just from skimming the article:
Five teenagers have so far been convicted over the bashings.
Similar attacks have been reported in the ACT, Queensland and Western Australia, but police say many more incidents go unreported.
With a Victorian parliamentary inquiry into so-called Grindr attacks announced last week, there are now calls for a national response to anti-LGBTQIA+ hate crimes, as well as urgent measures to protect events like this weekend’s Sydney Mardi Gras.

- Comment on ADF member who trained with neo-Nazis allegedly caught with child abuse and extremist material 3 weeks 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.

- Comment on Police seize art posters depicting Trump, Putin and Netanyahu in Nazi uniforms from Canberra bar 3 weeks ago:
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 3 weeks 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. 1 month 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.
- Comment on [Video] Australian attorney-general Michelle Rowland confirms it is now illegal in Australia to say Israel is committing genocide. 1 month ago:
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. 1 month 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.
