//I have had my property damaged on multiple occasions but by those on the other side//

I don't believe you. If I saw some damn punk kid trying to damage my property, I'd tell him to piss off, not subject him to an interview on his political leanings. How could you have known that your vandals were lefties? A most improbable tale, CM.

Blair Cottrell was convicted in 2012 and 2013 of offences
including arson, burglary, damaging property. He has
expressed pro-Nazi views. In 2015 he was one of three far
right activists found guilty and convicted for inciting contempt,
revulsion and ridicule of Muslims. He took part in a
mock beheading at a mosque in Bendigo and shared the
disturbing footage to social media. He's one of
the founders of - The United Patriots Front -
a group that regularly holds and attends rallies across
Australia - clashing often with counter protesters -
The group is very political and their aim is to garner
as much publicity as possible.

Answer- Yes the relationship issues that he served time for.

Answer- So he's hurt some peoples feelings and has read some books by bad people and quoted some lines from these books. I remember during the Anti-Iraq War rallies there was a burning of the Australian Flag by the communists.

Communists like to read books by bad people too- I would perhaps think that they "should be locked up" but not because they "read books by bad people" but because they are against their own people.

The Communist argument seems to imply that- "criminals cannot be reformed"- but really the issue is "Communists don't like competition".

In summary- While I'm not an expert- I'm not convinced by the arguments of the "Communist invalidation of Cottrell"

It's not the "communist invalidation"of Blair
Cottrell and his cohorts - it's the Australian Federal Police
and the courts acting on behalf of the legislature
that have greatly reduced the capacity of these
people to organise effectively.

Foxy, give it a rest, does ad-nauseam ring a bell.
You've said it once, you've said it twice, you might as well have said it a thousand times.
My God we get it.
What you have done is reduced the impact of your attempt at making these guys out to be villains, to the point that now there's a whole bunch of people feeling sorry for these guys.
We know they're not your 'cup of tea', but they are to others, so tone it down, you are coming across like the petulant child who keeps interrupting her mother with, mummy, mummy, mummy all the while only annoying her mother who is trying to talk to someone.
So we got the message, every one, all twenty or more times.
Now as for the miscreants you so wish to malign and hate so much, believe it or not there are people out there who agree with them, well maybe not on everything.
Now a little reality check, my little wall flower.
While your focused on this particular 'right wing' advocate, you have failed to notice the 'left wing'.
What these right wingers are doing is 'nothing' compared to your left wing nuts.
The left are amongst the most aggressive and antagonistic of all of them put together.
Don't just watch the anti-right news, because there is too little of it.
Start watching the pro-left news and the violent protests which ensue.
C'mon Foxy if your going to criticise then be balanced about the details, because more and more you are losing cred, by just pushing one angle.
I've made my position clear time and again, I have NO TIME for the major parties and I am hoping for a 'hung parliament' so the independents will have control of the 'house'.
Thereby stopping the filth from benefitting any further.
But, I have also predicted that labour will romp it in.
My angst is not so much that it's labour but because it's one of the majors and again we will be screwed over.
Can anyone honestly tell the difference between the majors anymore?

ALTRAV,

Before you preach to others you should set an example
yourself. Otherwise it would appear that you think
you are the only one who's allowed to not shut up when
you hear BS or distortions of the facts or truth. That
you are the only one allowed to challenge others.

Fascism has come to Australia wrapped in a flag
under the banner of "patriotism"and "nationalism."
The fascists of today call themselves patriots and
nationalists. They are not harmless nuisances. They are
attempting to radicalise other men (and women) to
perpetrating aggression and violence against migrants,
people of colour, women and men - anybody who does not
fit into their regressive rigid idea of white male
supremacy. It is a hateful, hate-mongering
political philosophy.

There should be no room for racism or bigotry on our
streets. We have to become more vigilant about
pushing back against the tide of cultural violence.
And if you don't like my speaking out on this issue
that says more about you then it does about me.
