Police were largely powerless to stop a neo-Nazi march through the Melbourne CBD, during which officers escorted the group of masked men to “maintain community safety”.

About 100 people from the National Socialist Network dressed in black and wearing face masks marched through the Bourke Street Mall at 12.40am on Saturday.

To reiterate what Allan was hinting at, they do these timid little flash mobs when most people are asleep because they keep getting beaten up or humiliated whenever they do anything in daylight. The same tactics have been used (and admitted by former PF members) in the US. These neo-Nazis exist outside of communities.

And if anything, it's validating that enough people are putting in the time and effort to make these scum scared of the daylight. Antifascism isn't just the people you see on television or social media, there's a lot going on behind the scenes to push back on these groups in the ways law enforcement agencies either can't or won't.

Here's a recent Tom Tanuki video on the subject for anyone interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXgiVhdvyiI
