A place for Australians and friends to share news from the other countries. Like all communities here, we discuss topics from the Australian perspective.

If you're looking for a global /c/worldnews instead, search for the many options on federated instances.

Rules

Follow the aussie.zone rules
We are not a generic World News clone. News must be relevant to Australians and our region. Obvious disregard will earn an warning and then a ban if continued. (If an article isn't from an Oceanian news outlet, and it doesn’t mention Australia, then it’s probably off-topic)
News posts must include some body text explaining how the article is particularly relevant to the Australian perspective, rather than mere global news.
Leave seppocentrism at the door. If you don't know what that means, you're not ready to post here yet.
Avoid editorialising headlines. Opinions go in the comments, not the post.

the fact they cover their faces means racism is still socially unacceptable

and that they are frightened of social repercussions , frightened of legal repercussions

I doubt they have shame

It would be awful if these marches became normalised

And not without reason - Patriot Front unwittingly recruited an antifascist infiltrator to be their photographer, leading to at least five of them losing their jobs and trying to sue as a result: https://www.vice.com/en/article/white-nationalists-suing-undercover-activist-because-theyre-big-mad-they-were-identified/

That's why many fascist groups try to pretend to be regular old nationalists just to get an audience, as we saw with the NSN-organised March for Australia rallies.
