It's terrorism, they don't want a fight. So it's up to the feds. If people want to help they can report neo nazi activity to the White Rose Society. Who are well-equipped to pressure intelligence agencies and do great work even if not widely reported. Their work has resulted in charges and arrests

They literally avoid any Antifa groups, Sharps etc. They run away every time. They only engage groups and people they think they can comfortably attack without retribution. Melbourne has a vibrant and capable, world-class anti-fascist movement.
