As the Family Guy meme goes: Kids, kids: you’re both just… just awful. That’s my reaction to news that a bunch of black-clad LARPers attacked a squatter’s camp of black-face LARPers.
An attack on a First Nations protest camp in Melbourne by far-right demonstrators should be investigated as a hate crime, Aboriginal leaders say.
The hypocrisy that the ABC won’t admit to is that what we have here is two groups of anti-Semitic ethno-nationalist dogs fighting over the same bone.
But the ABC’s bias is not just on its sleeve but branded on its forehead, with its word-choices. How, after all, does a group calling themselves socialists get lumped with the so-called ‘far-right’? Why is the ABC using an imported, American, nonsense phrase like ‘First Nations’? The first nation on this continent was and is literally the Commonwealth of Australia.
Leaving aside the obvious media bias, what actually happened?
About 40 men dressed in black, some armed with flagpoles and sticks and led by known Neo-Nazi Thomas Sewell, violently attacked Camp Sovereignty following Sunday’s anti-immigration March for Australia rally.
Camp Sovereignty founder Krautungalung elder Robbie Thorpe told the ABC’s Indigenous Affairs Team the men targeted women first, destroyed Aboriginal flags and injured four people.
No matter what the paleface box-ticker says, we can all see the video. The violence was plainly from both sides, with the ‘Aborigines’ (some wearing the anti-Semitic ‘Palestinian’ tea-towel) and the neo-Nazis both coming to blows and wielding sticks and lumps of wood.
So, to hell with both of them, frankly.
Counterterrorism police will help investigate the attack, Victoria’s Police Minister Anthony Carbine told reporters on Monday, “to see what NSN [National Socialist Network] involvement there was, and other matters”.
Mr Thorpe said he considered the attack an act of terrorism because it was “organised and premeditated by a group of people who were talking about violence and hatred for our people and migrants”.
Now do the years of ‘pro-Palestine’ hatred, some of which his own side were clearly backing. Indeed, the camp was specifically set up in 2024 as a pro-Hamas protest site.
Mr Thorpe said he could not remember a time when white nationalism had been this active.
He says, as he promotes black (or at least, blackface) nationalism.
Mr Thorpe said Camp Sovereignty is a space to remind Australia that sovereignty was never ceded — meaning that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people never gave up authority over the land or the right to govern themselves.
In other words, he’s promoting an Aboriginal ethnostate, by setting up an anti-Semitic illegal squat on Crown land.
This makes him different from the white ethnonationalists of the National Socialist Network how?
Screw them both: we can only hope they cancel each other out in a blinding flash of idiocy.
