A dusty looking urban species, Junonia villida calybe is common throughout Australia. The Caterpillars are black and spiky, and feed on a variety of garden plants, both native and introduced.

According to the Israeli Ministry for Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism, these actors are the key generators of anti-Semitism and delegitimization in Australia.

Calling out a fascist for taking a hypocritical position is easy. It's also a complete waste of time. Fascist rhetoric is aesthetics— pathos, never logos.
You'll never get anywhere pointing out a fascist's hypocrisy. Fascism is not to be debated, it's to be smashed. Get comfortable using power.
