Why is Antifa not banned yet??

[Orby]

You Americans have gone completely nuts since Trump was elected lol

There's no left or right anymore (at least not in the traditional sense) its just one big "bleh".

Its become the new extreme, you are either right or left there is no middle ground and the moment someone makes a neutral statement both sides attack them. You're all bloody nuts. Both sides have become extremists 'lite',

I like to believe there are some Americans with their heads screwed on properly. You all cannot be so bonkers.

Nazi...
Nationalsozialist, as counter abbreviation to Sozi (Social Democrat), which is the term even longer in use than Nazi. So much to the political aspect.

The term Nazi however predates political use. It was - rooting in Bavarian dialect - long before that used as an acronym for an idiot, a simpleton.
Which, in a sense, is still basically valid then. Because Nazis are stupid fucks lol

Yes, Sozi was pretty much in longer use. It's customary in German language to play with words much more so than in English language, so the folk meaning and the literary meaning eventually converged. However what is was definitely not was being abbreviation for the NSDAP which is why it still lived on after the war. Guess that point really needs to be emphasized.

You are right.
Thing is, the NSDAP made the term internationally known.

No one outside Germany probably knows that Nazi comes from the Bavarian name Ignatius/Ignaz lol

They are heroes and we should give them the highest medals we have.

I always knew you were a left wing extremist. But I didn't know you would actually encourage violence and murder. Are you proud of this behaviour?

This isn't a thing only in the US. It's happening world wide. The middle ground is vanishing, and the opposite extreme ends are becoming more and more violent. If this continues a world war or multiple civil wars become inevitable.

[Fojos]

Yes, because universities are unified entities that have political identities.

They practically are. The overwhelming majority of professors in humanities and social sciences are democrats or more left.

The last time we had a Dutch nazi party, its leader was arrest and executed by firing sqaud in '45/46.

Although Mussert was just a puppet, he really was ignored in the last three years, he was a useful idiot with little power because most of his countrymen hated him. This is the most interesting thing to observe in modern European rightwing movements which do actually one way or another admire the Nazis: Their own countries were most likely either occupied or turned into puppet states during the regime. After the motto: "Yes, yes, we suffered, but it was a good pain!"

I am pretty sure the NSDAP itself didn't use the term for themselves but authors like Tucholsky did and to that extent, tata, Antifa movements across Europe.

True again.

They are blatent terrorists.. assaulting unarmed people and elderly threathening to kill right winged people

Not everyone in the Antifa is acting like a terrorist. And yes a lot of aggresively acting people from the left and also from the right are being watched by the austrian and german government (wanted to make an example here). If you want to start a proper discussion then talk about the problem in general, not just one side. The way you are trying to get people mad is far from smart. Try to be more objective next time.
To be against fascism is a good thing, unfortunately some people use fascism to achieve getting everyone on their side for that matter, so if you ask me, yes it's pretty stupid.

Well at least I can sit back and watch both sides destroy the world... I'll be on the roof :P

So its spread out from the left to the center right? Seems like a lot of variety.

Last election, a center left and a center right party ended up in a coalition. I'd say the middle ground is still doing good here, always has.
Probably an effect of the democratic system we have.

They accomplish what left-wing universities want to do but can't legally. Why would they try to stop Antifa?

because its illegal and because they should not fight fire with fire, it doesn't really work at the long run

[BannedForViews]

Nice trolling there you should be ashamed on yourself Wait and see on 15 of march

Caesar dies?

Helpful hint, i'm parodying you.

And you failed miserably.

[Deleted]

And you failed miserably.

No, antifa is an abbreviation for anti fascists.

Yeah, nope.

[Deleted]

Yeah, nope.

You did not just fail miserably, you even took my words completely out of context.

Try to argument less fallaciously.

Violent anti-racism has never been wrong.

Based Stick Man is the cure to Antifa.

It has always been wrong to be the instigator.

The racist getting punched is the instigator. Just by being there.

TLDR: Don't be a racist, idiot.
