WHO'S WHO IN THE DISSIDENT RIGHT: TOM SEWELL

Like National Action but with a higher T-count

Eloquent but not very bright Australian Neo-Nazi born in 1993. Sewell is part of a Romper Stomper-style Aussie subculture that includes the likes of Blair Cottrell, and others, as well as various groups and subgroups, like the Lads Society, with which Cottrell and Sewell are both associated.

The members of these groups tend to focus on bodybuilding and "bro-chadding." They also readily suck up the crudest and most "glowy" Alt-Right/ Neo-Nazi memes and propaganda points, and then behave in ways that ostensibly discredit White identitarianism. Essentially they are like Britain's banned National Action group, but with a lot more gym time. The notion that they are "Feds" cannot be dismissed.

The Lads Society also provided Lauren Southern and Stefan Molyneux with their security when they visited Australia in 2018.

Sewell has been involved in several violent incidents. In May 2021 he was arrested on charges of leading a gang of about 20 Neo-Nazis in
an attack on two hikers who had started filming the group due to their "suspicious" behaviour in a Victoria State park. Following a trial Sewell was sentenced in 2022 to an 18-month community corrections order with 150 hours of community service.

His counterproductive "activism" with its negative personal consequences has merely reinforced his downward spiral of paranoia, victimhood, and further radicalisation, as can be seen on podcasts and videos he has appeared on since his 2021 arrest. He believes that all the West's ills are due to the Jews and has ingested a frame of reference that is designed to weave any inconsistency of data into his Semitic Panotheory. According to this Hitler was a good guy who did nothing wrong and was the victim of aggression by "Jewish-controlled politicians" (e.g. Churchill, Roosevelt, Stalin, etc.).

Australians have a number of characteristics that make them highly susceptible to the "Hitler Trap": namely, a more macho and working class culture, a strong "convict" tradition of being against the British establishment, and the "Mel Gibson Effect" (Irish Catholicism or post-Catholicism that slants towards anti-Semitism and even Naziism). Antifa is also much weaker in Australia.

Most likely to say:
"The state has a monopoly on violence" (before trying to infringe that monopoly)

  1. I don't understand the purpose of blogs like this. It's like you want to make yourself seem a loser by association with losers. Why would you do that?

    1. You are right -- you don't understand. There is no association between NeoKrat and idiotic Nazis like Sewell. The problem is basically this: Modern society needs to be critiqued in an effective way, but both on the Left and the Right this has become increasingly difficult due to the proliferation of low-level fake critiques like Neo-Naziism, Christian Nationalism, wokeism, and many other stupid and extraneous ideas.
