Thanks for rehosting the video. Cool add-on, always good to see people explaining how to do this. (yt-dlp, and friendlier tools using it under the hood, is also useful for all kinds of websites)

That police action is absolutely egregious. I've seen plenty of police violence and other abuse, but this is an example that they had to know was offensive and unnecessary. Secularism and a general freedom of religion are widely-accepted Australian national values. And to see PAG organisers among those pushed away while praying just makes it even clearer.

It's moments like this which clarify just how alienated, or simply uncaring, these officers are. At some point, they will each choose between standing with Australians or standing with governments to keep their job.

Fascism is coming for you, Australia.

Protesting illegally*

Tell it like it actually is

It's a crackdown on protesting, because Israel can't be criticised

those cunts came in looking to escalate

When I was seeing the posts like this happening in America/Minnesota, I think to myself, "what would I do? Would I risk my record/job to stand up for my neighbour?

I'm not in Sydney, and I don't think this will happen in The Outback, but its something to think about...

As much as I feel any and all prayer is meant to be entirely between you and your personally-chosen creator, and as such should never be done as a public spectacle (as per Matthew 6, 5-8),

This.
Is.
F**king.
Disgusting.

ACAB. They’re the hand of fascism and authoritarianism and should be treated as such: record, document, and prepare the evidence for your country’s own Nuremberg trials. Never give any of these bastards an inch of space.

I’t makes me really happy to see Aussies banding together and protesting, it’s always seemed to me that our chill attitude was easy to take advantage of.

Cunts. Why escalate the situation with violence.
