    We should take him just to make sure he remains in prison. I’d much rather my tax go to imprisoning a nazi than to literally anything National/Act is spending on.

      I hope you realise that this would make him into a martyr and inspire more people to follow him. If the media and politicians just ignored him it would do so much damage, but they have to jump up and down and constantly elevate him. Calling for him to be jailed or deported just rallies more people around him. Tom Sewell is the white man’s Osama Bin Laden, people just can’t get enough of him. He inspires rage in the empty-hearts of sad redditors.

        Idk who he is or what hes done but if hes an open Nazi I’m fine with that. Bait them into being unhinged and breaking the law then arrest them as well.

    I had a good laugh reading these RNZ articles. These big wanky politicians call NSN “cowards” and accuse them of covering their faces, when in fact they didn’t cover their faces at the immigration protest. RNZ also claims that Sewell “shouted insults and accusations” at Jacinta Allen, when all he did was call her a coward and ask why the NSN isn’t allowed to protest - a completely fair question. If Zionists are allowed free speech then Nazis too should be allowed free speech. If NSN isn’t allowed to protest or attend public forums then it means only weak and ineffective voices will be heard. Everyone should be heard, especially people with strong views on Indian and Chinese immigration. We don’t hear from them enough.

    If the Australian government started deporting immigrants today, it would mean that NSN has no cause to stand for and it would also give no incentive for every-day Australians to support NSN. By dragging out the housing crisis for longer, the Australian government is just making NSN look like really good people who’re standing against a rotting system.

    This is just a bunch of redditors having a sad one. They can’t stand that Sewell has such a high public profile and secretly wish they themselves were significant activists worthy of news coverage. Where are all the “normal, reasonable, tolerant” housing crisis activists on the left? The ones who tread carefully and tried hard to appeal to “the masses”? What of them? They never make the news. You might not agree with Sewell’s message or methods but you can’t deny that he gets people talking about the housing crisis and mass-immigration.

    • If anything when people make immigration in to a race issue it plays in to the hands of the business lobby / rent seekers / 1%. They are the ones who profit from mass immigration at the expense of the majority of working class people.

      Making it a race issue allows the politicians to focus their media talking points on claiming “I’m not a racist” instead of what the reasonable opponents want to discuss. So we never get a sensible debate about what a sustainable population is, or what a sustainable amount of immigration is, or what effect mass immigration has had on housing demand.

        The time for “reasonable opponents” and “sensible debate” is well and truly past. What’s happening in Australia is treason and they ought to bring out the gallows to fix the problem.
