    This is who the left were protesting in Boston



    This is who the left were protesting, people wanting clean air and non-gmo food.

    Is this real life?

    The guy who organized the rally was a classical liberal. But they don't seem to care. Antifa thinks anyone right of Marx is human garbage. Bash the fash.

    should've given them a pepsi.

    Uh didn't most of the free-speech rally already leave by the time the crowd got this big?



    Yep, totally look like they want clean air and non-gmo foods .

    Not sure this fella has picked the best place to campaign.

    Looks like the kek's had fled by then.

    If this is true - and I don't know for sure, I haven't looked - that is a good reason to counter-protest. Organic farming uses more resources, depletes soil faster, and yields less. Fuck organic, which is a misnomer since everything today is already a GMO from what it was a few thousand years ago before we cultivated it all.

    At any rate, on topic, so what? People protest various things, and people on the other side of it protest back. How is this particularly unusual?

    TIL Shiva Ayyadurai was the only one who attended the Free Speech Rally.

    His point is that the common conception in the MSM is that the counter-protesters were there heroically opposing neo-Nazis, or some bullshit like that. Like another poster said, to Antifa, anyone to the right of Karl Marx is a right-wing neo-Nazi facist.

    This chick makes a lot of interesting videos, don't agree 100% with her views but you should watch this.

    Most of the counter-protesters that showed up to this were either Antifa, or on their side.

    I'm fairly sure most sane people are against fascism.

    No, because I'm not stupid enough to believe in the "wahh antifa = fa" line.

    Ridiculous claim that I'm certain you can't prove .

    The police disagrees with you and I'll trust their word over yours.

    Clearly another thread was needed for this.

    Also, no. A lot of people were there to simply protest as this is the one-week anniversary of Charlottesville.

    This is demonstrably false. And is also backed up by the reports of the police. Stop spreading fake news. Otherwise known as, "stop being a fucking liar."

    lol no he isn't. He's as much a 'Liberal' as Sargon of Akkad or Dave Rubin:

    ie: People who abused the anti-SJW narratives of the last 2-3 years to get popular online with 3rd grade tier argumentative skills and hiding behind this, "im really a liburl gaiz, srsly, ima just spout conservative talking points constantly and never attack the opposing side, just my own. just trying to make it better, srsly!' bullshit that falls apart the second you look at what they are constantly saying and doing.

    If I spend 100% of my time talking about my little pony, you'd say I was a brony. Me talking about my little pony 100% of my time and then turning around and going, "but im not a brony guys, srsly" doesn't change that.
