A young Australian nationalist with no criminal history has been “debanked” due to his political views.

Melbourne man Michael Nelson, 20, received a letter from Bendigo Bank on Friday informing him that his account would be closed in 21 days, citing a clause in their terms and conditions.

“As a result of a recent internal review conducted by the Bank and careful consideration, we have determined that we are unable to continue providing you with banking and financial services. This decision has been made in order to protect the Bank’s legitimate interests,” read the letter, which was unsigned.

The relevant clause, 16.4, states that the bank may close an account at any time due to “unsatisfactory conduct”, which it says includes behaviour that is “defamatory, harassing, threatening to any person”, or “promotes or encourages physical or mental harm of any person”.

Mr Nelson, a member of right-wing activist group the National Socialist Network, said it was the first account he has had shut down, but that he was not surprised because many of his friends had experienced the same thing.

“We have a system that forces us to have no independence over what we earn, declare everything we earn to the government, pay taxes upon taxes on everything you make, buy, sell, and keep your oh-so-precious savings in a privately owned Jewish-run bank that partakes in evil parasitic behavior (usury), all whilst paying a monthly fee to use their services. And all this so they can kick you to the curb the second you decide to stray away from their groupthink!” he wrote in response on social media.

Damn we live in scary times. The communists took over, all by exploiting “diversity” to crumble Western Civilization and Christendom. Scary scary times.

I wonder about his anti-Semitic remark. Also National Socialists? Sound rather familiar doesn’t it?

National Socialists are left wing.

One of the biggest lies of the 20th Century is the oxymoron, “Right wing socialist ”

[struggle]

Wait, right wing are socialists now?

“...right-wing activist group” is actually a conservative activist group.

American defended Australia in WW II, and sometimes gave their lives, for this?

Hardly nebulous. The standards are rather clear that the behavior involves defamation, harassment, threats to an individual(s). Not just unsavory opinions about other groups.

Swatting would be an example of such behavior. So would filing false claims in court about a person. Elevating a political opponents alleged misdemeanor to a felony fits the bill. Just as selective enforcement of the FACE act does.

Oh wait. It’s our government doing that. I bet the Oz government also gets a pass on behavior that got this guy debanked.

Australians need to overthrow the government and bring back sanity.... But they’re like us here in America..it’ll never happen and we have more guns than the military.
