RE: https://aus.social/@KathyReid/115717619844373417I had to look up what this was about. There was a terrible hate crime, a shooting in Australia on the first day of Hanukkah. These hate movements have been normalized too much. https://www.reuters.com/world/australia-incident-live-media-reports-gunfire-bondi-beach-2025-12-14/

The way this just targeted the most ordinary innocent people just for who they were reminds me of the 2022 shooting in Buffalo where the murderer was some guy on "Great Replacement Theory" nonsense.We don't know what the Bondi shooter was thinking but the action targeting just "Jewish People" makes it likely again this eliminationist rhetoric. And it's been spewing unchecked in the US as of late.

@futurebird honestly, the western conservatives pussy footing with white supremacists has lead to this.There's a reason why Ben Shapiro suddenly works for a big media corporation, the very same one he has vilified for years.That's because the alt right is now thoroughly white supremacist, combined with Christian nationalists, who all espouse the "Jew problem" in dog whistles.The Australian conservatives are not exempt from this distinction, because they too have been using the same tactic.

@hopland They are messing with these BS theories for the most meager political gains. And we can't all live together or do anything together if that kind of hateful nonsense is taken seriously.

@hopland The name of a recent gust of Tucker Carlson and others has become a national point of "debate" and that many people know who this person is at all is kind of a massive failure.There is nothing to debate with a person who says "This is a White Christian Nation" they are just wrong.

@futurebird to me it is the desperate throws of a dying political ideology. They see the writing on the wall and refuse to accept it.They chose instead to abandon the people they were supposed to represent and give into the age old power grab by way of cultivating a mongrel horde.Sad, lonely, confused and angry people, filled with hatred and sweet nothings about a supposed enemy, from the ones who economically, fiscally and socially damned them.It's the death throw that makes a last stab.

@futurebird it's fascist. Americans sometimes fail to learn from European history, especially with the latest "global strategy" manual from the state department.Europe has ALWAYS been multicultural. It's only when the same conditions arise that the cultures need to be subverted, subjugated and destroyed.European imperialism was perfected inside Europe, against other Europeans and was fascist by design. Cultures, languages, morals, traditions, it all had to be destroyed to consolidate power.

@futurebird i'm a lot happier going with "terrorism" and not "hate" on this one. the shooters were firing opportunistically at unarmed people, eventually walking around trying to find, and shooting, new targets. this is a lot worse than hate.

@pavsmith I feel like the word "terrorism" has become meaningless sometimes. And it seems to be a "thought stopping word" --But I also agree with you. The purpose of hate crimes is terror. To tell people they don't belong and eliminate them as equal participants in society.Which is exactly what all of these Nazis have been saying over and over without push-back from enough people ... while some are just silent and others invite them over for dinner.

@futurebird it was the hunting aspect of this one. they started walking around looking for, and shooting, new targets. call it what we will; it was evil.

@futurebird and it's now US policy to encourage these groups both in the US and other countries.
