When you are young and rebellious, but then your leftist leader Slackbastard comes on you for your orifice (as the name always suggested) well you defect shit fast like Shayne Hunter.
Poor poojabbed Shayne.
Shayne Hunter’s a former convert to Antifa – this acronym out of public servant circles, supposed to be shit for Anti Fascist.
It is way meaningless in Australia. What is a fascist? What is an antifascist?
But Shayne Hunter has now blown his whistle on the online dumpster rabble he now reckons is just a loser dangerous cult of one.
He reckons Monash Slackbastard is pedo-sexual and although he refuses to give up da sparrow’s identity, he describes him as an older “keyboard warrior” whose activities put young brainwashed lives at risk.
Antifa CEO Dr Rob Sparrow, as if da earings weren’t obvious?
Likewise, Shayne addresses the tactic of threatening targets, such as when Antifa Sydney dumped a bunch of mannequin heads in the backyard of the AFP headquarters in Tempe.
We are giving him a platform for his views by rote of sharing this vid, although there is nothing much that particularly irk us. Take from it what you will.
‘Defectors’ of all sorts, say things. Sometimes they tell the truth and sometimes they don’t.
After fours years taking notes, Shayne Hunter, Brisbane based antifa, has surrendered far-leftards violent-tank as told to Corrine Barracloughhas.
As would be expected, he has been subject to the usual abuse from the anarchist network around the ‘Slackbastard’ core. Needless to say, if some so-called ‘patriot’ or ‘nationalist’ becomes truculent and deserts, they are all over him like a rash, using his statements and making loud noises against these target ‘fascists’.
“I established a terror movement in Australia, but then I quit. I got radicalised in Sydney. I was originally concerned about Western intervention in Syria. Radical left-wing people dominated rallies and I started to associate with them more. My so-called ‘normal’ friends drifted away.
We would hang out at an anarchist library in Sydney. Here a bunch of people on the dole gather enough money to rent out the space and run a bookshop. It’s like extremist networking.
I came to believe that war was a symptom of bigger systems at play in society and they were the real enemy, like white supremacy and patriarchy. Antifa believe these systems need to be smashed through a process of ‘de-platforming’ to save the world. People who don’t necessarily agree on everything are united to attack their common enemy — anyone in the right-wing of politics.
This micro-society became my life for four years.”
A meeting of nationalists in Sydney tonight identified a number of things arising from the Hunter material. It is expected more information will come to hand.
One matter is certain: the Antifa gang in Sydney in recent years was sustained by organized theft and other crime, involved a drug undercurrent and some mentally-challenged individuals. It also attracted other marginal beings and in the atmosphere of beat-up danger and imminent fascist threats (sic), a climate of adventurist violence was sustained. That made them the perfect useful-idiots for a choirmaster.
“Antifa is a growing extreme group who believe violence is legitimate. I got radicalised in Sydney. I was originally concerned about Western intervention in Syria. Radical left wing people dominated rallies and I started to associate with them more. My so-called ‘normal’ friends drifted away.

They believe historically their roots were fighting Nazi oppression. They run a website which is updated every couple of weeks with a hit list of right wing names. They believe if these people are allowed to speak, society will suffer. So, they must be pushed back.
There is no mission statement, rather, it’s a dangerous rhetoric. There are a lot of very damaged people who are drawn to it.
Lots of activists came from Sydney University. They invited me along to some of their lectures. When I was organising the ‘Reclaim Australia’ rally and pushing Antifa into Brisbane, we delegated roles out across the gathering. Someone would print pamphlets that got our propaganda out there. Someone else would look after social media and online, we all gathered people to come.”
Shayne showing off some of the Antifa propaganda the group uses to recruit members.
I read that Antifa in the US is training people to shoot and punch. It’s the same here. Antifa in Sydney are doing martial arts to, as they would put it, ‘fight the Nazis’. It’s a paramilitary mindset.
It’s more dangerous than ISIS.
I was ideologically possessed for four years. I would speak louder on public transport so people could hear me speak, hoping they would hear my message.
The radical left of Antifa presents itself as being about compassion and empathy; it’s a Trojan horse. All conversations are about entitlement and rights, not responsibility. When these people talk about freedom, they really mean freedom from responsibility.
Often the people who are drawn to this cult don’t have a strong identity outside it. I’m not a psychologist but, like ISIS, it gives people a sense of belonging to something and having purpose.
A ‘social justice warrior’ cringe video appeared on my social media feed. I didn’t watch it at first. A couple of weeks later it popped up again so I pressed play. It was like seeing the entire cult through an outside lens. It woke me up. I realised that everything I had started to believe was wrong.
You don’t know humiliation until you’ve left a cult; I wasted four years of my life.
I cut ties over time. I’m still in contact with some ex-cult members but I don’t see anyone who’s still active.
In my 20-something generation, social media plays the role of a 24/7 preacher — like a pocket preacher. Each day you’re being validated by the echo chamber on your phone.
Antifa would say there is nothing good about Australian society. Their minds project that belief, and everything is filtered through this ideology.
Without doubt it’s a huge and growing threat to Australian society. It’s a miserable mindset. When I got out of it and stopped feeling oppressed, I finally felt like I could take control of my life. That’s what I intend to do now.”
