This is a disgusting affront to the memory of my Grandparents and their children who survived WWII in a remote village in Europe. Yet alone to all who were tragically, systematically and cruelly killed by the Nazis. It is sickening to see this coming up again.
https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/mar/20/victoria-to-ban-nazi-salute-after-anti-trans-protest-melbourne-australia
The Andrews government will move to ban the Nazi salute within months after the gesture was used at a protest attended by neo-Nazis at the weekend.
Victoria’s attorney general, Jaclyn Symes, says the proposed law will take “some work” to get right.
Anti-transgender activists clashed with pro-transgender rights activists outside Victoria’s parliament on Saturday after an event held by the controversial UK gender activist Kellie-Jay Keen. A group of about 30 men from the Nationalist Socialist Network marched along Spring Street, repeatedly performing the Nazi salute.

Nazi are stupid

As an Aussie, there’s no room for this disgusting shit in our country. As a straight guy, leave my LGBTQ brothers and sisters the fuck alone

The police should have checked the IDs of those Nazi pieces of shit. That would reduce the tendency for this to happen again.
rayliehm
Some of them are already well known. Thomas Sewell, for example, who was leading the group AFAIK.

I'm a disgusted Victorian. If anyone knows these bitches, dob them in to their work places.
StevieTheAussie
They’re a bloody affront to what is to be Australian, and to be a bloody human being.
MaverickEsq
The thing that makes us all Australian is choosing to be. To embrace the values of mateship, community and larrikinism. These people don't.
MaverickEsq
There is nothing in this nation that makes me prouder than our diversity, that we can make a community out of so many peoples.

We have far more cricket bats down here, and they're better used on heads. Ya can get a good upswing to the jaw or downswing to the dome.

Fucking punch the cunts
CaptCrobar
Look at them hiding behind masks. Losers and cowards.
dyskordian
Do you also say that about antifa black blocs, or is it just bad when you disagree with those using the tactic?
MapleSyrupMafia
Is antifa in the room with us right now?
dyskordian
I dont know. You see they wear these black clothes and masks, just like these nazis just did, and it makes it difficult to identify them.
MapleSyrupMafia
If they chant "Fuck nazis", it's pretty easy to identify... Antifa is not a group, it's just called common sense to counter-protest nazis...
dyskordian
I can literally buy branded antifa merch.

As a Victorian I am conflicted about this. I hate that Nazis exist at all here, but banning the solute makes it harder to know who to punch
kojenk
Only by itself if you don't follow it up with other action to target and expel them. Which is probably the case here though.
dyskordian
Thank You! Speech laws just make it harder to know who has what views. They don't remove the bad they just cover it up.
BitRoyal
My thoughts generally on banning things like this. Let them easily and instantly let those around them who they truly are.
ThisIsMyUsernameNotMyComment
Yeah nah, they actively recruit through the exposure this news gets them. Typically with fringe members of society that are easily persuaded
TarynnosaurusRex
Metalsmith21
Yes! Don't criminalize the salute. De-criminalize the assault that happens to the one giving the salute!
AfterTheRainComesTheRainbow
They'll probably still do it, or make some new obvious dumb salute we can use to ID them
Pegaxs
Fucking cookers…

We're looking at blocking entry to Keen because of this. She was supposed to speak here, too.
notanactualccount
They’re not affiliated?
rayliehm
KJK has been courting extreme right elements for a while now. And the NSN clearly knew who to side with.
notanactualccount
Which ones? I can’t find any (not saying they don’t exist)
rayliehm
Her event was sponsored by CPAC, for a start. Binary Australia (rebranded homophobes now focusing on transphobia) backed the event.
rayliehm
She gave an exclusive post-event interview to Avi Yemini, a "reporter" for the far right Rebel News and convicted wife-beater.
NZSheeps
Not sure, personally, but if they're not she certainly attracts them
hyjukilo
That bitch should be denied entry to our country. If she's let in, especially after that Aus fiasco, our immigration leader should resign.

Has transphobic rhetoric, says trans are bad because nazis counter protested them, and threatened our PM if her visa was denied. Lunatic.

It shouldn’t be banned - a law should be passed recognizing it as the new national symbol for “please beat me with a stick,” giving the rest

Yup. Nazis should not be protected by laws in any manner. Those are for decent human beings only.

threatened with expulsion. Was give a pass after vote 18-11. Another example of LNP being in lock step withe GOP far right.

AFAIK the vote to expel her isn't happening until next week, Monday IIRC.
Dinwiddie
Oops! Sorry... I read it wrong. A vote was held to delay Monday's vote, and that failed 18-11, so not such a bad result after all. I first..
Dinwiddie
read that as deciding not to hold an explusion vote.

Agreed. I also disagree with the masking, but I disagree with the masking in general not just those I disagree with.

Here's the thing, neo-nazis don't want to be identified otherwise they'd lose their jobs. Counter-protestors do that because someone who's>

Wonder why they're afraid of that? Perhaps because it's obviously vile behaviour normal people don't want to tolerate

That's odd I thought they were "proud"

Just like the Antifa bitches that hide their faces. Both scared of being held accountable for their actions.
DefinitelyNotDownvoting
Stolen troll account.
MapleSyrupMafia
Neo-nazis hides their faces to avoid losing their jobs... because they know they're shitheads. Antifa isn't a group.

How come you dislike antifascist groups?

So it's ok for people we agree with to wear masks but when we don't agree with them, they are bitches because for wearing masks? Got it.
AngryBagOfBones2
HEY DIPSHIT. IT WAS MORE THE POINT THAT THEY WHINED LIKE LITTLE BITCHES DURING A PANDEMIC ABOUT WEARING A MASK. "ANTIFA" DID NOT.
DocWats
Man you're going through a lot of effort to stand up for these fascist fucks. I asked what your deal was with antifascists. Couldn't answer
bigshoeydugless
If you can point out where I stood up for them that would be great. Just pointing out the obvious hypocrisy.

As an Aussie, these assholes make my blood boil.

The only proper reaction to assholes like you.
HighMagosSquidward
Eradication isn't viable. None of them were born as nazis. They were just babies corrupted. Education is the route, imo.
MaelstromSama
Perhaps fewer Nazis means less potential to educate future Nazis?
Margrave9000
While progressive education can prevent ppl from becoming a Nazi, Nazis themselves can't be reeducated. Just get rid of them, permanently.
imissmaplesyrup
There are some amazing podcasts out there interviewing reformed KKK members. I’d imagine same for Nazis.
HighMagosSquidward
Agreed. Death to individual nazis, they are irredeemable. However, Nazism as a whole cannot be eradicated through violence.
imissmaplesyrup
That’s what they would say too…
NomadUniverse
Funny when I pointed this out I was labeled a nazi, downvoted, attacked, muted...its a strange word on here

The price of freedom: Eternal vigilance. It's shitty but for now not really to be changed.
Margrave9000
Still, we must do our best to solve the problem finally. An effective final solution would be a glorious milestone on the road of progress.
alt86er
What do you propose? Genetic engineering?
Margrave9000
Nazism is not a genetic condition. It's an untreatable, unreformable state of mind that inevitably causes great harm to society.
alt86er
And I ask you: What do you propose to _reliably_ prevent it from occuring? I don't see a lot of alternatives to a genetic safeguard.
KoRplussomeletters
Hmm, yes, but also: phrasing.
