For those of you off in yankeeland, this party is Australia's sneaky fascist party. If you look at their publicly stated policies you might think they were a blend of the social conservatism of the Republicans with the labour protections and nationalist industry of... not your Democrats, who are Right-Wing-Lite by most standards - more of a Bernie viewpoint.
Then you see that the labour protections and nationalist industry actually mean those things 'for the right people', since the other policies kicked them out, and suddenly the swastikas become clear.

Uh... no?
You literally just advocated for making child porn and you want me to somehow articulate why I don't think that's a good idea?
What a healthy way of looking at the world.
Fabricating scandals to ruin somebody? That's disgusting.
