So I make the following criticisms as someone who has fought at the coalface of NZ fascism well before it was fashionable. The problem is that these types of swatting tactics are counter productive because it creates propaganda for the far right. At a time of perverse radicalisation, woke activists are adding fuel to the fire while handing ammunition to our enemies. Do you think the state powers magically disappear or do you think the Right would start doing bad things with those powers? Stop using the State to smite your personal nemesis, once the State gets a taste for blood and civil liberties there’s no stopping it!
