ttbn,

I'm curious as to why you treat discussion of Islamist extremism as serious and necessary, but then dismiss any discussion about neo-Nazis as mere "yabbering".

Both are documented, domestic extremist movements flagged by ASIO.

If the principle is addressing real threats, then dismissing one category while inflating another looks less like realism and more like ideological selectivity.

No, no - don't reply. It would be more revealing if we just left that double standard to sit there and go unanswered.

Another thing, ttbn.

I had a quick skim of the bill, but can't see which provision(s) would render it a crime to hold certain beliefs - let alone a crime punishable by imprisonment.

Could you point me to them?

Why do people think this cancellation is not a good thing ?

"you treat discussion of Islamist extremism as serious and necessary, but then dismiss any discussion about neo-Nazis as mere "yabbering"."

Good question. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that Islamists have been involved in all sorts of murderous attacks here and overseas culminating in the execution of 15 innocents, while neo-Nazi murderous attacks are all merely in the fantasies of the various left leaning authorities.

When the neo-Nazis starting shooting up people at religious festivals, perhaps we can start talking about the threats being equal.

That doesn't really answer the question, mhaze.

Far-right and neo-Nazi violence isn't hypothetical or confined to "left-wing fantasies". It's already produced mass-casualty attacks in Western democracies, including attacks on religious gatherings.

Threat assessment isn't a body-count competition either, and governments don't wait for movements to reach ISIS-scale lethality before taking them seriously. If we only talk about risks after people are killed, prevention becomes impossible by definition.

Treating discussion on one form of extremism as inherently serious and necessary while dismissing another as "yabbering" isn't realism. It's selective perception.

Why can't I just stand up for what I believe in?

I DON'T SUPPORT SANCTIONS OR OVERTHROWS

You all think I'm Anti-Semetic, where do you think this valid belief above took me?

I never used to be so critical of Israel, but the more I dug, ad the more the more things I looked at, the more reason I had for criticism.

Think about the egg on my face when I cane to understand that all this conflict that caused the Islamic immigration, was in support of Israeli interests?

People screaming about Bondi, yet acting like Israels murder of hundreds of thousands of innocent women and kids has absolutely zero to do with anything and a completely unrelated issue?
Have you all gone made with anti-semitism brainwashing?

Even now the U.S. presidency was arguably PURCHASED by Miriam Adelson who cares more about Israel than America, and Trumps putting out MIGA tweets, while supporting another regime change where thousands of people are getting killed, lets cheer on an insurrection January 6 style, attack and occupy their institutions!.

But no, Mossad has nothing to do with Iran, and Bondi has nothing to do with Gaza
- and we're all living in a fantasy world.

So how long till this strike on Iran?
Isn't it about due?
