#Counter Protest

COUNTER COUNTER PROTEST SUN 11.30AM PARLIAMENT

NEVER AGAIN MEANS GAZA 🇵🇸

This Sunday, racist opponents are holding a "Never Again Is Now" rally in solidarity with the Zionist entity currently enacting genocide in Palestine. Politicians addressing the rally will reiterate that they stand with Israel while it drops bombs over Gaza.

Western nations failed to prevent the Holocaust and "again" are failing to prevent the systemised torture, starvation and mass murder of a people.

We must directly counter Zionism, fascism and the political forces that express support for genocide and racism in society.

Zionism is a racist, colonial ideology. As Jews and Palestinians, we stand against all forms of racism and all colonial, imperial violence justified through dehumanisation and hate and allowed to be mainstream.

Join the counter counter protest to the Free Palestine rallies, to say that today, "never again" includes Gaza.

Never again means respecting the memory and lessons of the Holocaust.

TERF neo-nazi Posie Parker is in town this Sunday 26th March (well, most likely, she's gotta get through immigration still, although I doubt they'll stop her). There is a counter protest occurring at Civic Square, starting at 2pm, which from my understanding is when she's meant to be speaking. We need to come together in force, and show the transphobes, homophobes, neo-nazis, and general scum of Aotearoa that their beliefs hold no power over us and the members of the community they are trying to oppress.

This is intended to be a peaceful counter protest. Mayor Tory Whanau has said she is personally against the views that Posie holds, but no one wants a repeat of the hell she just created in Melbourne, so the police will be working to ensure that both Posie's event and any counter protests remain peaceful.

Bring signs, wear your pride pins, prepare a chant, share around info around counter protests. Be there.

Trans rights are human rights.

Racism is not an opinion.

Aotearoa is better than this.

Before you see the headline and worry, the majority of those arrested were right-winger bastards gathered to oppose the Pro-Palestine March taking place

Seeing a mass counter protest to Specifically Protect marginalized people from harassment and state approved violence and calling it 1984 is such a funny (sad and enraging) thing to say actually?

People equating “Big Brother” to their idea of censorship—an idea that is fundamentally incorrect because the censors they’re upset with aren’t coming from a government body but reactionaries hate when people react to them in any organized way—and distilling everything in that book to it is fascinating.

“Big Brother” IS here, is the thing! In hundreds of small ways that add up, the military surveillance state is real. And it Benefits from fascist rioters doing its fear suppression work for it. It even Benefits from them thinking—or pretending to think depending on how self aware the individual is— that they’re acting Against it.

An organized crowd of mutual support and basic human decency forming a human shield sucks only because it shouldn’t have to be formed. But the fact that it did and still can at this point is Really Really Cool Good News and a drop of hope that we aren’t so far gone into the Orwellian Nightmare that there aren’t ways to fight back.

Like in most other livestream chats I'm monitoring, an increasing number of watchers are begging for violence now. Some are calling the protestors weak for not fighting the police and counter-protestors. Here is a sample:

In Canada today there was a protest against teaching kids about queer people. I went to a counter protest today. Most of the people demanding that we leave their kids seemed to also bring their kids ages from babies to early teens. We were flipped off, sworn at, called names, you name it by them and their kids. The protesters in the city I went to was largely Muslim but they didn't care actual white supremacist were there.

It was a lot. I was so loud with the protesters driving back and forth honking and grabbing at pride flags. I wish I could have stayed longer, but I had been out in the sun too much and have almost reached an autistic burnout.

so, a group of people who call themselves "abolishinists" came to my hometown from out of state, and showed gory pics of aborted fetuses to a bunch of children all week, and I had the opportunity to go and counter protest them. I was the first one there, but I ran into a group of Satanists from The Satanic Grotto, and became friends with them, and honestly, I had so much fun. I was finally able to do something that felt like I was helping my community in a way that made more of an impact on the people in the city than just writing to our legislation, which trust me, that's real important, like probably more so that this, but the fact that we went all day, and we picked up so many people along the way was just such a cool experience.

Turns out the violent pro Israel mob that attacked the students peacefully protesting as police stood by and let them, had set up a gofundme where they promised 5 days in advance to try to physically hurt them to their donors. Zionists are the outside agitators. Every accusation is a confession.

Anti-racism campaigners have vowed to show the far right they are not welcome in Scotland after an anti-immigration rally was organised in Glasgow. But they warned against a “false sense of security” as the disorder witnessed across England and Northern Ireland earlier in the month has not been seen in Scotland. Stand Up to Racism Scotland is planning a “major” event in Glasgow on 7 September, in coalition with nine trade unions and leading refugee rights organisations, in response to an anti-immigration rally in the city’s George Square. The anti-immigration rally is being advertised as a peaceful protest “against our government’s mass and illegal immigration policies which are tearing the UK apart”. The event was promoted by Tommy Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, the co-founder of the now defunct English Defence League, in the days after the Southport attack, and is likely to be the first significant anti-immigration gathering in Scotland since similar events descended into violent disorder south of the border. Organised by the Glasgow Cabbie Facebook page, which has circulated misinformation relating to the murder of three children in Southport, the event is being promoted online under the same “enough is enough” banner that led to unrest in Liverpool, Manchester, Belfast and Leeds in recent weeks. The George Square event will also be a test of Police Scotland’s pledge to deal “swiftly and robustly” with disorder. A spokesperson for the force said: “We aware of a planned protest and have a proportionate policing plan in place.” Rory Anderson, an organiser for Stand Up To Racism Scotland, said: “The strong message will be that the far right are not welcome in Scotland. It’s important to celebrate resistance as well as diversity, and to show communities are willing to stand together.”
