I especially liked this section from the ABC news story ( https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11-17/verify-neo-nazi-rally-participant-visa-revoked/106018130 ) about this dickhead:

When ABC NEWS Verify asked Mr Gruter about the bracelet, and other matters, he responded: "Since when is it a crime to love and advocate for your own people?"

If he is so passionate about his own people, maybe he will get a warmer reception when he fucks off back to South Africa to rejoin them. Somehow I doubt it though.

“Since when is it a crime to love and advocate for your own people?”

Isn't that an admission of guilt? Also, a silver bracelet with a Hitler Youth slogan has got to be the lamest thing I've seen in a while. I bet he got it on Etsy.

So sick of people treating "white" as a racial group. I'm presumably about as white as you get (my father was adopted so no idea about his ancestry, but his bio mother appeared pretty damned white). I don't identify with any of these little, insignificant man-children who are desperate for their hatefulness to make their lives just a little more important.

Plus if they could pull their heads out of their arses for a couple of minutes they would clearly see their grievances would be better directed along class lines, would make a far bigger difference in their lives than trying to pretend anyone with skin darker than weak custard is somehow oppressing them.
