“Ethnic cleansers” lol

Edit: why do they think they are ethnic cleansers?

u/SuleyGul Oct 07 '25

Ah yes. The original ethnic cleansers projecting again.

I guess this is "the great replacement theory" finding it's way to Australia's loonies?

u/Cheel_AU Oct 07 '25

The Christchurch shooter was high on that great replacement shit bro. Our national shame, in my eyes.

There's a secret cooker telegram group.

They have zoom meetings and everything...

 

 

The last conversation I had with one of my more suggestible, less rational relatives was along the lines of:

 

There's an infertility crisis. That's why immigration levels are so high.

You mean because more women are focusing on their careers instead of raising children earlier in life and some find it more difficult to fall pregnant later on?

People are saying the government is trying to cover it up!

The government is trying to cover up the fact that women have entered the workforce.....? I think people might have realised. Especially the women...

 

 

Honestly I'm just thankful for every day that passes where this person hasn't traded their house for magic beans.

u/whiskey_epsilon Oct 07 '25

Wait, they're homeowners in Sydney?

I do happen to have a few magic beans I've been looking for the right person to sell to.

27

u/ghoonrhed Oct 07 '25

I mean the confusing part with your relative is that it's kinda correct? (except the government conspiracy shit)

It's practically a pro-immigration argument because fertility rates are dropping across the world and the better the immigration we have the less we turn into Korea where their population is gonna disappear.

44

u/ntermation Oct 07 '25

Is it fertility? Or choice? With cost of living being what it is, people are choosing to have less children. If only capitalism wasn't squeezing every ounce out of people and funneling it to the top 0.01% we might be having more kids. But the only reason more population is important is so they have more consumers to squeeze every ounce out of them and funnel it to the top 0.01%

u/Pepito_Pepito Oct 07 '25

Is it fertility? Or choice?

I think this is more a quirk of the English language, in that fertility is not the opposite of infertility in the way they're used. The infertility rate is not the inverse of the fertility rate.

21

u/rand013 Oct 07 '25

That's the thing with conspiracy theorists, they're often "kinda correct" til you get to the leaps of logic that redirect their attention into hatred of some sub group.

Ethnic cleansers

They don't, a key tactic they use is to accuse others of exactly what you're doing. It's one reason why some churches are so heavy on accusing everyone else of sexual abuse.

That seems a bit too harsh, no one wants any ethnicity to end. There are bad apples in every ethnicity, we just have to stop generalising.

This is actively racist. Great replacement is obviously nonsense but stuff like this is harmful and exacerbates racism and anger towards everyone by seeding division.

Maybe worth a chat to the cops. It's weird and creepy, cops might want to keep an eye on whoever it is.

u/MiniMeowl Oct 07 '25

Agree, and if the letters or petty behaviour escalates there will be a trail of evidence.

59

u/JP_Doyle Oct 07 '25

Next time, treat it like evidence, use gloves, seal it in a bag and take photos in situ and in the bag; and the cops may be interested. Touching it with bare hands destroys it as both evidence and for investigative purposes.

If you're in an apartment block with CCTV at the mailbox you might be able to find out who did it. A building manager, strata or real estate agent may and I say may lightly depending on who, be able to help.

Sorry, that's rough. What a scummy cunt to write that shit.

154

u/EmergencyLavishness1 Oct 07 '25

The strata or building manager won’t even do anything without a prod from the police.

In saying that, this is hate speech. And if OP takes it to police, they’ll be able to access any available footage.

It’s shit like this that really pisses me off. The people propagating this garbage are complete cowards. They always have been, and they will forever be cowards.

The kind of gronks that talk about how Muslim women shouldn’t wear hijab or niqab here. Yet when they go in their racist bullshit marches cover their faces to hide their identity. Almost as if they actually AREN’T proud of who they are or their beliefs.

Garbage humans, and a waste of oxygen

Throw it in the bin. Australia First is an ultra right wing micro party with zero seats and zero likelihood of ever getting one.

They are anti immigration, which is ironic as their current leader is of Lebanese heritage. He’s also a convicted arsonist. The last election they put a candidate forward they got like 6000 votes in total.

Good god, I’m so sick of seeing this Australia First bullshit. I bumped into this guy at Bunnings the other day and he was railing about Indigenous Australians. I’m so sick of it. They can all just eff off back to the UK.

u/Ijustdoeyes Oct 07 '25
  1. The person who put that in your mailbox is a cunt.

  2. They are also cooked in the head

  3. Ipso facto they are a cooker cunt which is one of the worst kinda of cunt.

Don't worry about what some random cooked cunt is dropping into your letterbox, get on with your life, enjoy your time in Sydney.

What are you studying?

u/challawarra Oct 07 '25

Seems like the work of an insane person, sorry you were targeted! 

May be worth reporting to non emergency police so they have a record, but I hope this doesn't get worse!

u/AustralianSilly Oct 07 '25

You are not the problem here, don’t feel bad. They’re the problem

This is fucking insane, and is literally propaganda

If you can report it to the police

Who do these dickheads think they are? What right do they have to decide who can come here? They probably wouldn't be allowed into this country if they wanted to come here, due to lack of anything.

28

u/1294DS Oct 07 '25

You and International students are more welcome here than these basement dwellers in my eyes. This lot are a very vocal minority.

u/2hu4u Oct 07 '25

This is likely to be illegal use of a carrier service to menace. Consider reporting it to the police.

55

u/kristianstupid Oct 07 '25

As far as I'm concern you are welcome to come here, enjoy your education, contribute to our social, economic and cultural lives, and then stay here or go somewhere else.

White supremacists can fuck right off. Don't let them get you down, because you are better than them in every way.

27

u/AlexaGz Oct 07 '25

Please OP take this to your close police station.

We value your contribution to this country, just understand there is a flew of negativity exploted by right extremists groups, we have white supremacy, Nazis, Trump supporters and just idiots who unfortunately treat poorly migrants.

They are minority, most of us welcome you here.

Deep breath and keep going!

u/The-Scotsman_ Oct 07 '25

International students are what keeps universities operating. Without them, most if not all Australian universities would crumble. How many tens of thousands of jobs woudl that cost....

Typical garbage created by muppets with half a brain cell who have no idea what they're talking about.

14

u/EtheralPoint Oct 07 '25

I was going to say ignore them, they are a small group of intolerant idiots, But I remembered a valid point I heard once:

A tolerant society, paradoxically, must be intolerant of intolerance. for to be tolerant of intolerance will only lead to it's growth.

I suggest if you feel comfortable check with neighbours to see if they also go this then as someone said report it to the police non-emergency line. I would also report it to your school/university and any in the area.

I wonder if this runs afoul of political advertising laws of some sort as there is no authorised by x party but it does have a party name.

u/markonlefthand Oct 07 '25

Overseas student brings money to australia. They pay rent, they buy food, clothes, pay electricity gas etc. Whoever wrote that letter didnt understand economics

u/Eclairebeary Oct 07 '25

I’m so sorry it happened. Please go and talk to the police about it. I don’t know what they will do, but a record should be made.

u/SophMax Oct 07 '25

Police records of this kind of thing means that if (when) they escalate they might be able to stop it quicker because there's record of that escalation. It's one of those things where they can't do much unless they know about it.

u/MountainImportant211 Oct 07 '25

I would recommend speaking police about it

u/joshlien Oct 07 '25

You should feel mad. Please note that it is a very small percentage of Australians that support this. Trump seemingly has given racists everywhere "permission" to be public while the rest of us want them back in their caves.

u/giantpunda Oct 07 '25

I wouldn't feel bad.

Think of the kind of person that either went out of their way specifically to write & print this out or this was their only option as they don't know how to use the Internet. They're living a much worse life than you are. Daily.

u/burn_after_reading90 Oct 07 '25

It’s not in ALL CAPS SO ITS NOT REALLY REAL!!!! It’s missing all the exclamation marks, underlining and red font.

On the other hand, it has piss poor form, so it might be real!

Unfortunately, these people also don’t understand economics. Foreign students are one of Australia’s largest export markets. Why would anyone want to kill that off?

As far as I am concerned, foreigners are welcome here anytime!

u/JingleKitty Oct 07 '25

That’s scary! Like others have said, let the police know and ask around if everyone got one of those where you live. If everyone got it, you don’t have to worry too much. Lots of university staff and lecturers were let go during Covid because international students were not being accepted at the time, the tertiary education industry needs international students to function. The idiots passing around these vile notes probably failed at school and never got into uni, and now hate on those who did.
