Context: The State Premier for the (Peoples Republic of) Victoria in conjunction with the Melbourne City Council elected to cancel the Australia Day Parade (26th Jan) in Melbourne due to Covid concerns... however they DID allow an "Invasion Day" protest march to go ahead instead. People who espouse this line of reasoning seem to think that the crimes committed by European settlers should prevent the rest of us from celebrating the countries accomplishments, unity and modern culture hundreds of years later. So naturally "Far-Right" opposition in the form of the Proud Boys arrived to counter protest, prompting the state government to paint them as evil, white supreme cheese, notsees.
For some of them (my Irish ancestors included) is was a god send, suddenly you were in a vast untamed country with plenty of wildlife to catch and cook, while people back home starved from the potato famine
Notes that aboriginal australian humans are placental mammals that invaded from another continent and now I hear nothing but crickets and maybe pearl-clutching gasps
The Proud Boys is a far-right, male-only extremist group that is active in the US. Canada's Parliament on Monday passed a symbolic motion calling on the Prime Minister to designate it a terrorist group.
Mr Frydenberg said seeing men wearing the Proud Boys logo marching through his home city was "very concerning".
"I think it's frightening for us all," he told ABC Radio Melbourne.
"There is a rise in far-right conspiracy theories and a rise in anti-Semitism globally, as well as … here in Australia and indeed in Melbourne.
There isn't a single incident they can point to that justifies being frightened by the Proud Boys. Canadian Parliament designating them a terrorist group is as clown world as it gets.

"We've seen school kids as young as five being called Jewish cockroaches and swastikas on advertising for theatre productions, dare I say it, of an Anne Frank show."
Why do I have a feeling that this is not true...
It was probably a trailer for a movie that had Nazis in it (as the bad guys obv) and this is how they spin it.
"We've seen school kids as young as five being called Jewish cockroaches"
this one stands out to me.... I dont recall white people referring to Jews as cockroaches, thats a typically Muslim thing to say. If white australians are being anti-semetic theyd normally call them "Kikes" like America does... but ive never heard of a white person calling a Jew a cockroach... that name is reserved for Turks hahahahaha
Exactly. They're making it up to further their agenda, and if they were somehow caught and had to admit they didn't actually hear someone say that they'd say, "well some people somewhere actually do say those things and we started an important conversation!"

You know, with it being a former prison colony and all, I'm sure even the original Australians were not exactly thrilled to be there either.

Funny how they complain about how bad that is, but ask anyone about the Chinese...
