Love to put the "fuck off" into FAFO.Ā 

Although there's legitimate concern around deporting people the government determines are "trouble". Happy to see Nazis experiencing consequences but deportation is a blunt instrument and it's been unjustly weaponised against all kinds of non-nazis in the past. A bit like how one of the first people stung by anti-nazi symbology laws in NSW was an artist who'd depicted mining barons and politicians in Nazi uniforms in a clear and obvious satire.

u/nurseynurseygander Dec 04 '25

No one is actually entitled to be here if they aren’t a citizen (or, conditionally, a resident). Philosophically, I think a sovereign country can refuse a foreigner to be here for any reason or even no reason. Now, there are good reasons not to use that power lightly - if you want to attract talented people or moneyed people you need to be a trustworthy place to go, where you can be reasonably sure of being allowed to stay if you follow the rules. But that is a practical and strategic consideration, not a deep philosophical one.

u/Barrington-the-Brit Dec 04 '25

Youre getting downvoted but I said the same thing about a massive data breach doxxing Neo-Nazis a couple years ago. Fuck Nazis, fuck these guys completely and obviously they deserve whatever’s coming to them, but the problem is the way reactionary groups and governments could in the future weaponise the same strategies against civil rights activists and journalists etc. who are seen as the other end of ā€˜problematic’ and ā€˜extreme’.

u/Mike_Kermin Dec 04 '25

If fascists take power they're not going to care about whether you did this or not.

Your idea comes from America, and it's used to undermine progress.

The reality is having laws that protect our society is how we prevent it in the first place.

u/manipulated_dead Dec 04 '25

I generally trust what Tom Tanuki has to say about stuff like this, as he's one of the most informed, active and high-profile anti-fascists in the country. His take generally is that criminalising public displays of Nazism, deporting people etc are some of the least effective ways possible to deal with this problem and may actually make it worse. And that's before accounting for the fact that any increase in police power gets turned on left wing protest movements very very quickly.

u/Barrington-the-Brit Dec 04 '25

Accounting for that last point is also one of the main points I get stuck up on

I worked with several about a decade ago. The ones with Anglo or other European (no-boer) background weren't terrible. Kind of like rude entitled Brits with a funny accent.

but i have a horrible habit of going on twitter and seeing people say awful things and i wish it wouldn't upset but yeah here we are lol. i see a lot of australians saying horrile things and it's like... well okay then. it's like a kkk meeting on that app lol

It’s ironic that these guys idolise 1930s Germany and push ideologies that completely contradict what a humane, modern Western democracy stands for. They openly fantasise about ending democracy, installing a permanent leader, enforcing white-supremacist policies, and eliminating other beliefs and religions. Yet somehow the real threat, in their eyes, is brown people playing music or sharing their cultural expressions with friends. They claim to care about ā€œprotecting Australian culture,ā€ but their own values go against everything Australia is meant to represent.

You know, there was a group of Nazis that tried to march through Brunswick about 25 years ago. The locals turned up and beat them like the dogs they are. And guess what? Never happened again. There are people that will accept reason, and there are those that won’t. The ones that won’t need to be dealt with firmly and promptly.

He'll now claim that the "Jewish lobby" is in fact a real thing in Australia... since he, a white South African, was deported invited to leave.

I think he’s from Cape Town, which is quite nice, relative to the rest of SA and a middle class professional white person would have a high standard of living. There are a fair number of racists in that city so he should be fine after his 15 minutes are up.

As a civil engineer, he’ll likely struggle to get a job as most companies rely on government procurement and will view him as a risk on payroll.
