Australia: Victoria Becomes First State to Ban Swastika

One of the greatest threats to Australia is a group of people who lost a war the better part of a century ago on a different continent and hemisphere.

BBC:

Victoria has become Australia’s first state to specifically ban the display of the Nazi swastika.

Under a new law, people who intentionally exhibit the symbol face up to a year in jail or a A$22,000 (£12,300; $15,000) fine.

Victorian Premier Dan Andrews said “nobody has the right to spread racism, hate or anti-Semitism”.

Hope this guy took all his boosters

Like many places globally, Australia has seen a sharp rise in anti-Semitic incidents in recent times.

Victoria already has anti-hate speech laws – but they have been criticised for having “gaps”.

A push for reform intensified in 2020 when a couple raised a swastika flag above their home, angering the local community.

State officials called the new legislation a “proud moment”. Three other states have said they will introduce similar laws.

“The Nazi symbol glorifies one of the most hateful ideologies in history – its public display does nothing but cause further pain and division,” said Victorian Attorney-General Jaclyn Symes in a statement.

There are exemptions for showing the symbol in historical, educational and artistic contexts. It can also be used in Hindu, Buddhist and Jain religious contexts – as it has been for millennia.

People will be prosecuted only if they defy a first request to remove the symbol.

Anti-Defamation Commission chairman Dvir Abramovich – who campaigned for the law – called it a “thunderous blow” to the neo-Nazi movement.

“As our nation confronts the deep stain of a resurgent white-supremacist movement that peddles a dangerous and dehumanising agenda, this parliament has declared that the symbol of Nazism will never find a safe harbour in our state,” he told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.

The number of anti-Semitic incidents around the world dramatically increased last year, according to a study by Tel Aviv University. Australia had 88 in one month alone – a national record.

In 2020, Australia’s intelligence chief warned of a “real threat” to the country’s security from neo-Nazis. He said “small cells” of right-wing extremists were meeting regularly to salute Nazi flags and share their ideology.

For people who don’t understand: Australia is basically America 2: Beach Party.

Virtually everything about Australian history and culture is the same as that of America, except that we had a revolution and established a Bill of Rights. If you’ve met Australians, you know they basically have the exact same attitudes as Americans – if anything, we’ve seen that the men are more masculine (their women are still sows though).

Anything that happens in Australia can happen in America, and you saw the way they did the coronavirus mega-lockdown, then the forced vax, and they are now just riding this out wherever it lets them go, which is anywhere.

Australia is a dictatorship, and frankly, it’s a situation where if America had a good government, I would support a regime-change war to liberate the Australian people. We have a shared history that would justify such an act.

But of course, if there was a good government in America, this wouldn’t be happening in Australia in the first place. We’re all run by the same bunch of Jews and homosexuals.
