About 300 people opposed to the mosque broke through police barricades and started punching anti-racism protesters on the steps of the Bendigo Town Hall on Saturday afternoon.
Seems like the Nazis were the one doing the punching. But than again we also have militant antifa in Germany (love those guys) - that's just not a very effective way of fighting an ideology. People don't change their believe after getting punched in the face - go figure.
Eh it was pretty even, but yeah they had buses of people and we only found out they were coming on the day so certainly outnumbered and the cops were not helping us that's for sure.
Maybe, maybe not. In the end the mosque was built and they stopped coming down. The result was all we could ask for.
Oh and mad respect for German Antifa. You guys literally invented it.
Sorry for antagonizing you, you seem like a decent dude - a bit radical for my taste and we disagree on bunch of topic, but at least we agree that nazis are bad. I take it.
Yeah, nah you too mate! I’m certainly a bit of a dickhead, so I won’t blame ya.
I always grew up being told I’d get less radical as I got older but iunno I just look at the state of the world post 2000 and I’m seeing all this shit come back that I thought was left behind 100 years ago. It’s tiring.
Its an ideology that uses an idealised, aggrandised historical basis to promote nationalistic attitudes, often using a perceived threat from a scapegoat minority who are both strong enough to be a threat to regaining said past, while also being weak enough to easily eradicate. Where people are rallied behind authority figures who promise to fix the issues plaguing the citizens today, whilst greatly personally gaining from the hierarchical social structure they implement.
