We should take him just to make sure he remains in prison. I'd much rather my tax go to imprisoning a nazi than to literally anything National/Act is spending on.

I hope you realise that this would make him into a martyr and inspire more people to follow him. If the media and politicians just ignored him it would do so much damage, but they have to jump up and down and constantly elevate him. Calling for him to be jailed or deported just rallies more people around him. Tom Sewell is the white man's Osama Bin Laden, people just can't get enough of him. He inspires rage in the empty-hearts of sad redditors.
Idk who he is or what hes done but if hes an open Nazi I'm fine with that. Bait them into being unhinged and breaking the law then arrest them as well.
Arrest the people who rally around him too...
We should yank his citizenship before the Auzzies do.
I think we can meet halfway and dump him in the ocean
Send him to Naru?
I doubt you guys want him either...
This is just a bunch of redditors having a sad one. They can't stand that Sewell has such a high public profile and secretly wish they themselves were significant activists worthy of news coverage. Where are all the "normal, reasonable, tolerant" housing crisis activists on the left? The ones who tread carefully and tried hard to appeal to "the masses"? What of them? They never make the news. You might not agree with Sewell's message or methods but you can't deny that he gets people talking about the housing crisis and mass-immigration.
If anything when people make immigration in to a race issue it plays in to the hands of the business lobby / rent seekers / 1%. They are the ones who profit from mass immigration at the expense of the majority of working class people.
Making it a race issue allows the politicians to focus their media talking points on claiming "I'm not a racist" instead of what the reasonable opponents want to discuss. So we never get a sensible debate about what a sustainable population is, or what a sustainable amount of immigration is, or what effect mass immigration has had on housing demand.
The time for "reasonable opponents" and "sensible debate" is well and truly past. What's happening in Australia is treason and they ought to bring out the gallows to fix the problem.
