The Germam word for going out of your way to hypersook about pro-Palestine protests but not having anything to say about nazis leading the nazi-adjacents protests and the people they are actually violently doing harm

I don't think everyone who turned out will suddenly sign on for actual nazi duty, but I do know emboldened racism has been supercharged and the rhetoric is going to get nastier and the PM deliberately passed up his chance to show any kind of bulwark against it

The thing that most bugs me about the cowardly 'good people' and 'legitimate concerns' excuse-making is that you can mumble that those concerns are cost of living all your like, but you are 100% legitimising the primary vibe of the marches which was 'Australia should be White / Fuck off we're full'

If a violent nazi is posing for you with his fucked-up sticker then don't put his fucked-up sticker in your newspaper, hope this helps!
benjamin (@benjamino.bsky.social)
Still seems to be a little confusion over how to report on nazis, yet it is simpler than almost any other reporting: 1. DON'T publish particular words or images they want you to publish 2. DO publish words or images they don't want you to publish

I'm presently immersed in this area and have to say that is an incredibly load-bearing 'potential'. There are automation and ambient scribe use-cases within workflows where it can do some shaving, but way too early in the evidence for that degree of stretch.

The more evil the stuff I get them to say the more people will realise that although these are entirely legitimite concerns and all of their points are salient, their expression lacks a certain decorum

Sewell played this incredibly well and the decision to unmask and keep his white supremacist talking points within a margin of error from that of the Murdoch rags effectively sponsoring the marches mainstreams the nsn among the casually racist to a disturbing extent.

If you have managed to ascribe 'legitimate concerns' to people who will march with nazis and think we have too many Indians nowadays, but offered no such extension to people seeking a little less genocide, congratulations you are officially a fucking disgrace
