It will be interesting to see how this con pans out. Even fellow NSN neo-Nazis like JoeI Davis have cried on podcast about how the attack on Camp Sovereignty “made them look like” unhinged violent thugs. There were various degrees of rejection like booing and leaving when open Nazis took the microphone at various March for Australia rallies and spouted their junk (among others supporting them). The (former) Adelaide March for Australia organiser is openly calling out the NSN. The Freedom cookers’ “Australia Unites” rallies last weekend explicitly stated on their website: “NEO NAZIS ARE NOT WELCOME -NO RACISM OR ANY ACTS OF HATE OR VIOLENCE WILL BE TOLERATED IN ANY CAPACITY.” It’s clear that lots of attendees felt like their movement was “hijacked” by Nazis. Now, the truth is that it was Nazis running it the whole time, but nonetheless they made their target audience feel cheated with their subversive tactics and their shameless tactlessness. They’ve alienated the broader “patriotic” nationalist movement by conning them.
As said in the article, “Jordan McSwiney says the marches drew crowds only because most people hadn’t realised who was really involved,” and it seems like they no longer have that plausible deniability outside of the few groups in certain news filter bubbles.
Also, what the heck is up with this bit:
Later, the NSN railed against the lead Brisbane organiser for allegedly breaking a “deal” that Hersant could speak officially to the crowd. The organiser, who goes by “Bender” online and has previously posted neo-Nazi content, said he and his family were now receiving serious threats to “love the NSN”– or else.
I’ve seen screencaps of the social media account of that “Bender” account where they have an avatar profile picture of a black sun Sonnenrad, a well-known neo-Nazi symbol. So I’m surprised to see them being bullied by the cult. I forgot how much these idiots love infighting.
