One of the oddest trends in the so-called 'anti fascism' by the anarchists and Antifa generally, is the use of Australian servicemen images from the Second World War.
They would falsify the character and the politics of the Australian military of those years and try to equate it with their attack upon all aspects of the Australian heritage and identity. Basically, they are saying that if Aussie servicemen fought 'fascism', then they are doing their job in the modern period.
Last night, the Sparrow out at Monash University's Slackbastard Faculty decided to co-opt Nancy Wake, the White Mouse' of legend. It is a matter of history that Wake fought in France as a Resistance Fighter. She was tortured by the Gestapo and narrowly escaped execution.
Wake served as a British Special Operations Executive agent during the later part of World War II.
However, Nancy Wake in her post war life in Australia was a strong critic of immigration. Perhaps, as even we may say, she got some of her arguments wrong, but it was the errors of a patriotic person.
Wake questioned the abandonment of the White Australia Policy privately in the 1960's.
We would say her comment on Italian migrants was based on war experience (she would probably have opposed German migration too); however, her other comments were more than salient.
"By their logic, I was a fascist for what I believed about my country and my race in those days. So I suppose I was in the biggest fascist party Australia has ever seen – the AIF".
