As it stands now, Patriotic Youth League are running a campaign squarely targeted at recruiting high school and university students. I don’t worry too much about the uni side of things, but I’m incredibly fucked off over the idea of these pricks preying on high school kids.

I can already picture them knocking up character profiles of their ideal recruits. You know the type. Angry, disaffected, intelligent and confused (white) kids who can’t quite work out where it all went wrong. They can’t get ahead in school because the Asian students clean house in every subject. Eastwood, West Ryde and Epping shops are starting to resemble Seoul, Beirut and Shanghai. It’s “spot the Aussie” down there! All of a sudden Mr Charisma, Andrew Wilson, comes along and peddles a shitload of easy answers (based on race of course) and exploits any resentment festering away in an “Aussie” kid and offers them the chance to join a gang hell-bent on “taking our country back!”

Remember, you gotta be an “Aussie” to join.

The Andrew Wilsons of this world are incapable of viewing multiculturalism through a wider vector. All he can see is “Eastwood is full of Gooks”, he cannot pull back and look at the bigger picture - the varied, vibrant and extraordinarily inviting ethnic mosaic that is Sydney and Australia as a whole.

He and most of his PYL goons are your classic “White Australia” aparatchiks. They deny that any ill was committed against the prior inhabitants of this land and frown upon any migrants who are not Western European. They feel that “Whites”, despite being immigrants themselves, should once again hold an exclusive mandate over this continent.

When you’re dealing with neo-Nazi groups, bigoted “White Australia” shit is actually pretty tame. The PYL through their known affiliations with Volksfront, the White Pride Coalition of Australia and Stormfront are way off the Richter scale in terms of how they view groups outside of their own. In short, the white Western European is superior to all other races and should take all steps necessary in order to ensure its racial purity and continued prosperity.

It’s very, very, very tough to reason with people like that.

Maybe one of them will look at a fucking map one day and come to the realization of where Australia sits in the world. Here’s a clue; we’re a hell of a long way from Clapham High Street.

In short, I don’t feel that any ethnic group that nicked someone else’s continent has any right to stomp around decrying the fact that other, different groups have followed on behind them. A unique opportunity for people from all corners of the world to interact and learn from each-other has been presented to us here in Australia.

I for one, will not sit idly by whilst a group of brain-dead, hate-filled, cowardly, thuggish and Swastika-waving Nazis try to fuck it up.

I emphasise the word “try” because right now, I feel like Luke’s co-pilot at the start of The Empire Strikes Back when he says, “Right now I feel like I could take on the whole Empire myself.” I don’t plan on letting the Sydney-side of the PYL get beyond my local area.

I’m already roping together a number of groups but wouldn’t mind adding “Darp’s Army” to the mix. If you’d like to get involved, drop me an email featuring at least one Jello Biafra quote.

Here’s one I’m doing my darndest to live up to:

Don’t hate the media, become the media.

If you can’t find Jello, I’ll settle for Woody Guthrie. Say, something like:

People of every colour marching side by side
Marching ‘cross these fields where a million fascists died
You’re bound to lose, you fascists are bound to lose.
