‘Don’t mention Hitler and you’re sweet’: The great March for Australia deception

a year ago by Ilandar to c/australia

Anti-immigration rallies that have drawn tens of thousands of Australians are being secretly controlled by neo-Nazis – part of a co-ordinated “fraud on the public”.

They are planning another rally on Oct 19. Various locations have already announced counter rallies.

It is very important you turn up and bring along friends. If you can't make it, then make sure that other people do. Not just social media posts either.

These Nazi-run rallies are particularly dangerous because the capitalise on a real, valid anger towards our government. If we allow them to grow unchallenged, bigots will continue to be embolded. There were many reports of people being opportunisticly harassed after last rally, so if we don't outnumber them, they'll do that again. If you don't help your community to squash this, it will grow. We're at a great moment where we can still stop this peacefully. Seize this moment while we have it.

Don't just show up, bring along friends. And if you see me handing out fliers for the counter rally, tell me you're bringing along friends! We can all use a smile :)

I would daresay what happened at Camp Sovereignty was a bit more than mere harassment.

Yes but I wasn't talking about that. I was referring to the many smaller cases of individuals or small groups opportunistically harassing people on public transport, in parks, etc., which can easily be prevented just by having more people around to remove that opportunity. Simply attending the counter rally helps.

If we're aiming to prevent an premeditated gang of dozens from going out of their way to terrorise a peaceful camp, we'll need an organised force with fighting experience, or an even larger group able to mobilise rapidly. That's absolutely possible, we saw that Melbourne has the roots for building such a force, but it's a tougher challenge which involves more than just the regular public showing up.
