Yesterday was absolutely fucked down here in Naarm.

Our counter protest was completely crushed by cops, the fascist rally was given space and free roam of the city. In the end, it empowered the nazis so much that they charged on camp sovereignty and seriously injured people, it was a full on war at one point, cops did nothing.

A Nazi spoke at the rally and was met with cheers. At one point they sent a group to chase after me when I was leaving the CBD. It was really disappointing to see kids in their group just projecting nothing but hate for everyone around them.

I'm still recovering physically from everything yesterday, it was easily the most intense protest I've been at. Absolutely unbelievable to see, but I'm honestly not surprised. This is a racist country and it always has been.
