In short: The National Socialist Network says it will disband in response to proposed new hate speech laws by the federal government.
A statement from the group says the decision was made to prevent members from being arrested and charged.
The group says it will close down by January 18.
Based, get rekt Nazi scum
Yup, fuck em Nazis.
Next: drug cartel says it will disband due to anty-drug laws!
anty-drug
Do you mean sugar?
“We’re disbanding. Honest! No need to come looking for us anymore because we’re not here. Please, stop looking.”
We are not at home! Please stop knocking!
So… making laws against Nazis DOES work?
Those fuckers won’t suddenly stop being Nazis. But the laws do make it harder for them to organise and corrode society.
They are making laws against us all, not just Nazis. Maybe it appears good now but restricting speech is not generally good and will be used against everyone in the future.
They help. But they aren’t enough. Community organising is essential to complement them where the law can’t reach.
While respecting this communities doxxing rules can anyone remember the name of that organisation that was documenting individuals showing up at fascist protests? They did good work without being a kiwifarms style pile on. Pretty much just names & events.
In Australia? The White Rose Society is the main public face of antifascist research, they had this page:

That’s the one
Definitely. Losing their formal organisations means they lose convenient (and legal) funding, because funding of group activities, when done informally, quickly and easily ends in trouble with the tax man. Losing the ability to legally spew their hatred filled bullshit out in public will not only lead to less recruitment of people who actually believe it, it will also foster a societal climate where opportunists will think twice before aligning themselves with the Nazis.
And Good Riddance.
Fuck Nazis.
I hope they don’t reorganize.
Unfortunately they likely will, just underground this time.
Yep, most likely as ununiformed “active clubs” similarly to how they started. It’s the dominant neo-Nazi strategy internationally.
Of course they will. Just not in such an obvious organisation. Basically they’ve been pushed underground.
I’m not sure if it shows up on all Lemmy apps, so also check the aussie.zone/c/australia crosspost for more info.
Also, reminder that the government’s Special Envoy’s Plan to Combat Antisemitism did fuck-all to combat these scum, even after they made openly antisemitic speeches in a (police approved) flash mob outside of Sydney state parliament, instead they’ve targeted the pro-Palestine protests.
Sufficient government action has been many years overdue, but better this than more waiting. Next step is to crush their “active clubs”, because everyone knows they’re not going to simply disappear.
We will see how this impacts the upcoming Invasion Day marches more interesting, as the March for Australia counterprotest has already had members of the NSN show up as organisers, marshals and plain clothes stooges in the audience.
lol, fucking bye stupid shitbags. Hope every single one of you shit your pants.
Because they died, right?
rare australia w
