Antifa Wins, Richard Spencer Quits College Tour

[Saucexorzski]

An excellent example of how violence is a valid solution to ideological differences.

[luckydevours]

Nah, Conservatives always deserve it.

Nah, Liberals always deserve it.

Nah, immigrants always deserve it.

Nah, LGBTQ Folk always deserve it.

Nah, ANTIFAs always deserve it.

Is there really a fundamental difference between any of these? You're advocating violence as a solution to differences in opinion. If you'd stop being so damn militant all the time perhaps you'd realize that you're just the opposite side of the same coin of intolerance you despise so much.

So there is no fundamental difference to being conservative, liberal, gay, leftist or from another country and being a neo nazi?! How fucked up do you have to be in your head to say such a thing?

A literally Nazi/white supremacist is saying that touring the country espousing their ideology isn't fun anymore.

I get the whole "first amendment for all" angle, but I'm really having a hard time being bothered by this.

He exercised his first amendment rights, others exercised theirs. That combined with massive protests showed that his opinions aren't widely shared or appreciated in the public discourse.

Wait.....what?

don't try to rationalize it, their as indoctrinated as a cult.

[Moralgy]

Wait.....what?

Its conflating an "anti-fascism" movement that is fighting ISIS with the "antifa" movement of America. I vaguely remember seeing something about it a bit ago.

ffs... he's saying using violent means against ANY GROUP as a way of fighting them will never be a solution, yet antifa does it all the dam time.

NO NO FAKE NEWS....he was so popular he has more people show up than obama did....
wait which racist are we talking about again????

I like the turned-parallel-with-the-body hands on the dodgily bequiffed suit in the bottom right photo.

Rubbish, probably has more to do with the fact that only a handful people showed up to any of his talks:

wooh who is the guy with the Hitler haircut lol

[-Nurot]

Maybe now, as Trump would say, Antifa will be sick of winning? Because they win so much?

Isn't that the sort of nonsense your supposed to puke out your mouth after you promote violence at your rallies, and push an agenda like a zealot?

Maybe they'll just get sick of all the winning and let the Nazis go back on tour. MAGA.

wooh who is the guy with the Hitler haircut lol

That's Richard Spencer, the actual Nazi that you're supposed to take pity on because the meanie Antifa protest him speaking.

Okay, so they are not physically going overseas to fight ISIS. It's more of a cowardly stay at home and chant in solidarity type thing.

I must say I'm surprised, I'd have figured Antifa would see ISIS as ideological brothers given their propensity for violence and being against freedom.

[JohnBrown1917]

With authoritarianism? No, actually it's not. You defeat these idiots by detroying their arguments, by making their opinions invalid. It's really not that hard, just Antifa terrorists are too unorganized to actually collectively do it, so they use violence instead.

i heard that worked great in Nazi Germany, if the liberals at the time had just used better words, they would have won!



lol

Funny that I have only ever heard the guy never saw pictures of him. Guess it all makes sense now. IS he an open Nazi or does he try to deny it... because with that haircut he isn't helping that cause lol.

Invite a nazi 'round for tea day.

You don't see your own irony do you?

No, antifa supporters are going to the middle east to fight isis, that is what he is saying.
Its not an organized movement, just foreigners going to syria and using antifa symbolism.


But if you think they'd be brothers... It just shows you know nothing about anti-fascism, ISIS is exactly the sort of thing anybody supporting the movement stands against.

ISIS are just the Islamic version of fascists.

[luckydevours]

ffs... he's saying using violent means against ANY GROUP as a way of fighting them will never be a solution, yet antifa does it all the dam time.

He literally compared all of those groups to fascists and asked if there is any difference between them or am i wrong? And of course violence is a solution to fight fascists, what do think WW2 was about?

[JohnBrown1917]

He is for 'peaceful' ethnic cleansing.

you actually thought nazism was 'winning'

There were a few American and European Leftists who joined up with the fight against ISIS.

One of the more famous being PissPigGrandad.

Brace Belden is an American leftist who volunteered to fight with the People's Protection Units (YPG), a Kurdish militia, in the Syrian Civil War. Belden is also widely known as his former Twitter handle, PissPigGranddad.

He arrived in Syria in October 2016. He went into training at the YPG's Academy, where he met other Western volunteers including Lucas Chapman and Tommy Mørck. Shortly after graduating from the Academy, Belden was assigned as a machine gunner on a makeshift tank as part of the Raqqa offensive. His unit helped to capture Tal Salman in mid-November. Brace commented that "We pushed up to Tal Saman till we had it surrounded on a half circle. Then we just bombarded the shit out of it." Many refugees fled the town and sought protection behind the Kurdish front line. "Hundreds of civilians coming across for days in a row", Belden said. At night, his unit stayed in whatever building they had just captured and camped out on rooftops in the cold. "The first week we were out it was awful", Belden told Rolling Stone. After capturing Tal Salman, Belden's unit withdrew to Ayn Issa.

Using the handle @PissPigGranddad, Belden generated a significant following on Twitter. By the time he returned from Syria, @PissPigGranddad had amassed more than 30,000 followers.[17] The account was permanently suspended shortly after Belden's return to the United States for accusations of violating Twitter's policies on "targeted abuse or harassment." Although Twitter has not commented on the suspension, the account was locked shortly after Belden mocked white nationalist Nathan Damigo’s short stature on the site; according to Belden, "alt-right"-affiliated accounts (or, in Belden's words, "a bunch of Nazis/4chan dudes who were mad at me for making fun of that guy for being short") had tweeted about plans to report @PissPigGranddad en masse.
