“Asio says violent rightwing extremists are still being inspired by the Christchurch mosque shooting massacre carried out by an Australian man in 2019, warning of an uptick in activity from hate groups who want to trigger a so called ‘race war’.”

“It said the ideologically motivated cohort, made up predominantly of rightwing extremists […], ‘are more likely to focus on recruitment and radicalisation rather than attack planning in the foreseeable future’ but it warned of changing trends.”

“The Australian Christian Lobby’s chief executive, Michelle Pearse, made a submission critical of the inquiry itself. She claimed its terms of reference ‘can be construed as inviting the creation of legal weaponry to benefit radical far-left elements antagonistic towards those who hold more conservative political opinions, with a view to silencing their opposition’.”

Ahh, yes, antifa just wants to silence good, christian fascists who want to be openly white supremacist.

“Large numbers of Americans who have bought guns over the past four years or who regularly carry their loaded weapons in public are willing to engage in political violence, even to the extent of shooting a perceived opponent, a new mega-survey has found.

The study of almost 13,000 Americans, drawn from across the US and weighted for demographics, provides alarming evidence of the openness of certain types of gun owners to the idea – and possibly the practice – of violence as a political act.”

“The far-right Georgia congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is ungovernable and should be known as ‘Moscow Marjorie’, said a former Republican colleague in the US House, accusing Greene of ‘getting her talking points from the Kremlin’ when opposing new federal aid for Ukraine.”

I am so here for the Republicans entering their ‘finding out' phase, but it sucks that it has to cost lives elsewhere. Again.
