    Imagine being so confused you need to travel to a foreign country to attend a rally against foreigners…

      They don’t view themselves as foreigners. They view themselves as the masters, and supreme authority, everywhere.

    I wish this was the case everywhere. We had a controversy maybe 6 years back where Canadian Citizens of Taiwanese lineage were attacked by Chineese international students at the university they all attended for protesting the annexation of Hong Kong. At the time this was huge but im pretty sure it was swept under the rug as international students are a massive market here.

      The Australian government cancelled his visa and deported him to South Africa, I believe it was.

    NSW = New South Wales

    Also, fuck this guy for having or supporting the wrong ideas.

    We need to make an example of him to intimidate anyone who might want to believe things the crowd doesn’t approve of.

      Getting multiple reports on this comment for a variety of reasons, I’m leaving it as I think people are reading more into the comment than is actually there.

      “Make an example of him” is not a call to violence. Publicly pulling his visa is, indeed, making an example of him.

      I’m also not sure how you construe this as supporting a neo nazi unless you assume OP is being sarcastic when they say “fuck this guy for having or supporting the wrong ideas” and “intimidate anyone who might want to believe things the crowd doesn’t approve of.”

      This is right inline with the American notion of “Make Racists Afraid Again” which has been bouncing around since Trump 45 at least.

        America is giving people like him jobs in the government. The UK is giving them spots in opposition parties.

        Glass houses.

      Exactly. Cancelling visas is an atrocity when it’s people or ideas we like, but it’s laudable and warranted when it’s people or ideas we don’t.

        Yeah, because shock-horror, refusing to abide by the basic culture of a country you don’t belong to means they have every right to kick your racist ass out.

        You are not entitled to go to another nation and soapbox bigotry.
