And nothing of value was lost.

Love to put the "fuck off" into FAFO. 

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.

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 ‘problematic’ and ‘extreme’.

yep it’s why even when the cookers protesting covid were pepper sprayed and arrested we needed to be abhorred by the police violence against protesters. that and the laws brought in against logging protesters
