Why are people not identifying members of antifa like they did with Charlottesville

[Bullettime]

Defend themselves from what? From people wearing symbol you dont like? How is that danger to you? In what fantasy world do you live? Do you imagine you are some heroic resistance member or something?

The protesters were crowding businesses, throwing piss on people, throwing bricks and rocks at people and cars, harassed and threatened bystanders, vandalized houses, attacked a college campus, and went as far as surrounding a minority church. This is before even running down a crowd of even standard shoppers with a car in a busy crosswalk.

It wasn't a case of just having a symbol that people didn't like. They came into Cville like a fucking insurgency.

[Kaleredar]

we get it man, you are a terrorist sympathizer, since that is what antifa is.

Yeah I remember when one of their supporters plowed into a group of protestors with a car and...


Oh wait.

[Saucexorzski]

Because folks like watching violence done to those they see as enemies.

[WskyDK]

Because "these people protested and beat up Nazis" doesn't make for a strong argument against.

[Sky High]

because unlike antifa, people against them have jobs.

No one who knows 4Chan exists really believes that.

[Darkeon]

The media says they are alright. "Seeking peace through violence" and all that jazz.

nazi's are terrorists too? lol BLM, KKK, ANTIFA, NAZI's, all terrorists all should be looked down upon.

Yes I consider people wearing nazi symbols and carrying weapons a threat. People wearing nazi symbols murdered sixteen million people. I'd rather the police dealt with the issue but they did nothing in Charlottesville.

Maybe they are just homoerotic cosplayers who don't really understand the significance of what they are doing (some are truly pathetic it must be said). However since my Mother and my Grandmother narrowly escaped a concentration camp during WWII I'm not inclined to give those people the benefit of the doubt.

Perpetuating the notion that one persons actions speaks for entire groups.

Can mods start banning these trolling alt accounts please?

I'm sorry you want to censor the truth. You disgust me.

Before you mentioned car running into people I thought unironically that you were desribing antifa. Sure if they try to run over people they are threat. But explain to me how bunch of autists marching with torches are threat and antifa who attack them are good guys?

Hell, I was in Cville that morning and left around 10 AM when shit was heating up. Anyone who thinks they were just showing a symbol are fucking deluded. I got to sit at a stop light and watch a crowd of protesters stand outside a coffee shop and throw piss on a black guy, watched a guy with a shield push a white woman up against a wall and tell her to join the rally or she should go in the oven with the rest of the "niggers and jews," had rocks thrown at my car for honking the horn at protesters blocking the road and harassing people at a crosswalk, etc.

Spent the rest of the day sitting outside of town and listening to local news and a police scanner.

No one is saying they're the good guys. But they did some good in Cville and weren't the problem the way right wing media is making them out to be in this particular incident, despite shit like Fox running a segment about Antifa and Charlottesville every night to deflect and make them look like a bigger threat than they actually are.

No. 17 post alt accounts talking about the alt left, yes.

The alt left is real. Anarcho communism is represented as antifa in the US. If you look into antifa and their meaning then it's easy to understand what they really represent. It's anti-US.

[Kaleredar]

So you're equating counter-protestors whose methods you don't approve of with actual murderers.

I thought you looked down others calling people they don't agree with "Nazis." That's what you're basically saying.

BLM and Antifa have officially killed no one.
Even if you extend that to black millitants operating on the margins of BLM despite the lack of any plausible connection to the leadership you are still looking at a dozen or so murders.

The KKK death tally is not known as the organization was secretive but it is very unlikely to have been less than several thousand.
The Nazis murdered 16 million people.

Trying to draw equivalence between these groups is so farcical that it likely indicates sympathy for far right extremism by deception/tangential deflection/agenda setting.

Perpetuating the notion that one persons actions speaks for entire groups.

So did all of those nazis and white supremacists who were assaulting people come out and condemn that one guy?

And even if they did, they stand for groups that made a point of it to assault and murder. So their hypothetical condemnation means nothing in light of what they stand for at their core anyway.

You had a bunch of protesters waving a foreign flag (the swastika) trying to protect a statue of a man who tried and very nearly succeded in destroying the United States, and you are saying that anti-fa are somehow anti-US? Because it sounds like the exact opposite to me.

That doesn't justify using the same flawed logic that they use to validate their hateful ideology.

I'm personally fond of this approach to combating Neo-Nazis.
