Good to see the laws doing something. Repulsive seeing movements championing the white Australia policy and the Nazi party.

…..um.
Ok.
Good.

Let’s fucking go
they’ll probably carry on underground, but at least this will force them out of public life, which is a win in my book
Valintus on
Good. Our Anzacs were not sacrificed on the alter of war just so some snivelling cunts can revive the ideology on our home soil.
The entire ideology should get the same treatment here as it does in Germany, jail time.
MaleficentJob3080 on
Cool, the laws are already working.

Maybe because it’s made up entirely of non-Australian British and South African migrants who don’t want to lose their visa

Fuckers probably just going underground.

Good, don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
I do fear this will drive their shit underground where it will be harder to monitor/track, but also taking away any thin veil of legitimacy or purpose from having a public image is also very important
The_Duc_Lord on
Sure they will. They’ll just go underground or rename to “Aplha Viking Warrior Big-Dick Fitness Club” or some such shite.
BetaThetaOmega on
Nah, I call bullshit. They’ll just reform into a more ‘moderated’ version of fascism or reconvene as some kind of One Nation proxy. They know that these laws will be used as justification to shut down the left while being selectively enforced against the right and decided that that’s a good trade.

“Disband” = go underground
These rats will never go away
Infinite_Pudding5058 on
Excellent. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
Yetanotherdeafguy on
Yeah this isn’t the end.
You don’t hate that hard, reach newer heights of societal significance, then give up your bat and go home.
These assholes are likely torching their old group to create some new version which is more legitimized and better couched in dog whistles, religion and culture wars.
America is ready for open swastikas, Aus is not and hopefully never will.

The headline reads like a betoota article. What a timeline we live in
HotPersimessage62 on
While it’s great that they are ‘disbanding’ this quickly, I suspect they’ll try to shift to a deep undercover network but hopefully they lose their drive and motivation due to the tough new laws severely limiting their activity and it all fizzles out. We do not need this evil ideology on Australian soil.
343CreeperMaster on
they will still keep doing their thing, just less obvious in the public scene, will still take this as a win though, since it makes it harder for their influence to spread very publicly
dankcxnt on
They’re just being absorbed into One Nation
bitofapuzzler on
So they admit they promote hate? They admit their ‘movement’ is about hating other people.
I’m sure they will just do things on the down low. There’s no way they will stop. Maybe they could move to the US.
TheHoovyPrince on
Dont think anyone is going to have a problem with Neo-Nazi groups/parties disbanding, rip bozo’s.
Still doesn’t change the fact that the new hate speech laws are extremely problematic and cause for concern.
EvilOdysseus on
I’d rather they all be arrested than just disbanding
cmmndrkn613 on
This is not a win, this is public theatre. They will just claim to be a group friends when they gather, making it harder to disperse them. They are not going to publicly front as white nationalists, they will use the same doublespeak and legal loophole bullshit they’ve always used. The NSN can be banned, an unnamed loose association of people who happen to share similar racist views is MUCH harder to legislate against.
justpassingluke on
Ooh do they promise?
I’m not going to celebrate too hard – they’ll still be out there – but hopefully their lack of public profile will have a chilling effect on their mission.
WholesomeClownGuy on
Hope so, but it feels like they’ll just end up operating undercover. They need to be arrested proper for being involved with a hate group regardless if they “left” it.
jamiegriffiths72 on
Good.
One less extremist-ideology group the better

…. Oh no?…

Oh no.
Won’t someone please think of the poor nazis?

Why now? Why not 20 years ago

They will be missed…. Not.

Quick, someone take their name and make it something pink and register it so they can’t come back.

Are they pretending to be law abiding citizens?

Got a chuckle out of this caption from one of the photos:

Fuck yeah!

Lol no they wont.
patslogcabindigest on
Nazis are also highly dishonest liars, so I wouldn’t take this as a given.
Crazyripps on
Very very doubt this is the end. They just won’t go out in the open like they did before. Roaches like this don’t just stop.
Still quite funny to see them scared of their own repercussions

No doubt the plan is to ‘stand down and stand by’
