The fake left Guardian inadvertently reveals its hand today.
The contingent of neo-Nazis arrived at Flinders Street station about an hour before Sunday’s anti-immigration rally was due to start.
A hundred or so men, dressed in black, strode across Princes Bridge in a bloc, weaving through the large crowd that had already gathered under a sea of Australian flags.
Plenty of people in the lead-up to the so-called March for Australia on Sunday, and many who attended, said that the widespread promotion of the rally by known neo-Nazis did not mean it was organised by them; or that the presence of the National Socialist Network (NSN) in the crowd did not mean it was central to the day’s message.
Why should 100 black-clad idiots hold the entire nation and its media hostage?
To state the obvious, sensible people can hold a mature debate about immigration without succumbing to neo-Nazism. It is only the extremists of the fake left that think otherwise.
This brings to mind a very important point about this debate.
Censorship of immigration is an extremist response that generates its opposite. We live in a democracy, for the time being at least, and the right to free expression is its fulcrum.
The Guardian cancelled the word “immigration” long ago. It has now been joined by vast swathes of government in doing so.
This has destroyed the nation’s ability to debate all the areas of policy that matter: foreign and strategic policy can’t name China; the housing crisis can’t mention India; the wages crisis can’t mention cheap foreign competition; crush-loaded public services can’t mention relentless demand growth, so on and so forth.
The result is collapsing living standards, most pointedly for working-class people. They know it and want to discuss it, quite rightly.
Conversely, the 1% loves immigration. It is endless demand growth for capital, higher asset prices, and cheap labour to do every menial task you can think of.
Thus, the purveyors of censorship are the extremists, especially those on the ostensible left. It is they who have abandoned their values—class consciousness—and joined the erstwhile enemy to fight a nonsense culture war.
Virtually everybody who wants to talk about immigration has nothing to do with, and abhors, a lousy 100 neo-Nazi tosspots.
In logic terms, it is to say that because I share the belief with a fish that water is wet, I am a fish.
It is as idiotic as the neo-Nazis themselves.
