An idea is not the unlawful use of violence and intimidation.
So maybe I should spell this out for you. You can prosecute people for committing an unlawful violent act (terrorism). You cannot prosecute someone for having an idea/political ideology/religion. Therefore you cannot "ban antifa". You can merely prosecute those who commit acts of terrorism on behalf of antifa. Saying "we should ban antifa" is a poorly thought out resolution at best. You should consider recent historic events like the red scare before you start making such statements.
I think the most remarkable insight here is that both triggerdom and safespace rhetoric are used as casual ammunition for snide cultural remarks.
Going by the sjw/shitlord dichotomy, it shows how little the sjws cared about safespaces, and how much shitlords needed them. It's a win win for me.
disclaimer: I'm squarely putting you in sjw territory, only as commentary. I don't really know if you'd fit the stereotype or not.
That's an absolutely awful comparison.
The IRA had a central leadership which had a clear and stated aim of using violence in order to achieve its aims. People who joined the IRA did so knowing they would be supporting this violence.
Antifa has no such central leadership and not all of its members would be willing to support violence of the type the OP or your image (why link an image not just copy+paste text?) describe. There may not even be a consensus on whether violent opposition of Nazi activities is necessary because, as I've mentioned, Antifa lacks the central leadership of organisations such as the IRA.
There's a term to describe these people: shposh -- sub-human piece of shit. They have learnt from other lefties that simply declaring themselves as anti-fascists justifies their inherent violent tendencies and somehow elevates them above being sub-human pieces of shit. Basically their logic is "I'm allowed to behave like an asshole because I'm an anti-fascist!!" That's why they see -- why they must see -- nazis and fascists everywhere; in the streets, in the furniture, in the air, in the windows, in the cars, in the trashcans, in random people.
Trump won, because Hillary is a shitty human being, and there's no shortage of ignorant people in my country. I didn't vote for either, so I was going to be unhappy regardless of the outcome.
I never called you a Nazi, I called you a fascist and an Islamophobe. I based it off of your comments. You do not like Muslims, and wish to take away their freedoms based on that. You also want to "abolish" all religions. You are a nationalistic authoritarian. That makes you an Islamophobic fascist by definition.
The victim card is pathetic, you should really stop trying to use it. Maybe if you stopped supporting nationalism and oppression, people wouldn't call you those things. You make about as much sense as the people who wanted to ban gay marriage, when they tried to say they weren't homophobes. You've already stated WHY you are bigoted against Muslims, so it's ridiculous for you to get upset when you are actually called out for it.

Yep, I'm fine with calling you both.
