I think that if you fill it in but fudge the data, they can't fine you. Also I think it was some ridiculously low number of actual fines relative to how many people completed the census but ????

I was having a debate with my family last night and I'm pretty mad about the way they are approaching this because I feel like the quality of the data will be lower and any inference drawn will be poo poo.

i'm still working on doing a new naziwatch thing but basically there's this real amazing persecution complex emerging within the "patriot movement" (actually right-wing ultranationalists). The rhetoric being pumped out is some next level poo poo and really I'm surprised it's taken this long for someone affiliated with these groups to be arrested under these laws.

Isn't the whole reason these groups get started in the first place that people feel like they're being persecuted?

I honestly thought it revolved more around some kind of moral panic about Islam, rather than being persecuted (at least until now). My opinion is that the ultranationalist groups have only introduced the persecution part into the discourse this year, seeing as they've only had like one somewhat successful rally in Perth.

quote:

If some numbskull who claims to be part of the Patriot movement commits or attempts to commit an illegal act which some may deem as domestic terrorism, this is not indicative of the whole movement or of the peaceful ambitions of patriotic Australians with legitimate concerns about Islamification.
I can hear the left now 'you're a hypocrite, that's what we keep telling you about Mus_lims. Just because some commit terrorism doesn't mean they're all that way inclined.'
Big difference. International intelligence agencies estimate that 25% of all Mus_lims are highly radicalised and harbour hatred for western counties, wishing for their demise. That's 400 million of them that want to see us obliterated. There is not a Mus_lim country on earth that is not continuously ravaged by war and terrorism. A poll taken in Egypt revealed that 80% of the population believed that death was the appropriate punishment for leaving Islam, for drawing a picture of Mohammed, and for women committing adultery. This is nothing short of domestic terrorism against its own citizens. After 9/11 millions of Mus_lims around the world started calling their newborn sons, Osama. I could go on and on.
Isis, Al Quaeda, Boko Haram, Jemaah Islamiyah, the Taliban...
Keep telling yourselves that patriots who love their country are the same as all that. Id take out a traitor before the enemy any day. Huts

Is Mus_lim referring to the true and honest soul of the religion, not these so-called MUSLIMS?

It's because the patriot movement believes that there is a word filter which looks at their posts and when Muslims is mentioned, it gets auto flagged and might get removed. This is an attempt to circumvent that filter.

e: I mean it's possible (even likely) but it's also likely that their page gets monitored by people (I even do it) and their poo poo gets reported the good ol' fashioned way. They would simply need to filter for Mu_slim or Mus_lim and the same poo poo happens. It's high-school level dumb
