“Do not lose time on daily trivialities. Do not dwell on petty detail. For all of these things melt away and drift apart within the obscure traffic of time. Live well and live broadly. You are alive and living now. Now is the envy of all of the dead.” ~ Emily3, World of Tomorrow
Words to live by.
Oh noez, that makes it 100 time worse! you knew someone who knew someone else /gasp
Oh sorry, you were serious?
Who it is is 100% irrelevant, a human is a human. Random human A isn't more signficant than another just because you know someone who knows someone. Adorable thought though!

So this the new spin on "there are fine people on both sides". Gotcha.
Maybe it's not widespread and mainstream enough. I don't see Trump or his cronies getting punched, so obviously it's not much of an attempt at that point.

Well, if he continues denying reality, it should be safe to conclude he's one of those alt-right "awoke independents" showing their usual false concern, albeit with better acting than the likes of zenkai or allybeboba.

Can we just agree to stop throwing around buzzwords to hide the fact that we don't have an actual argument?

If you didn't meet him personally, it's a bit of an hyperbole. Not much, but the typical drama we expect from Americans. You'll get over it over the next dramatic story. If you actually shook his hands, I'll give you that.

I don't see that happening in any remotely forseeable future, so I guess by your logic it's totally fine for it to continue.

If you define "Antifa" as everyone opposed to fascism, then it's as old as fascism, which came into existence in the 19th or 20th Centuries depending how you're counting it.
I am a member of that "Antifa" and I should hope you are too. Kek.
You can't read at all can you? nvm.. ofcourse you can't, you have proven as much. Let's try this in a bulletpoint manner. Maybe that helps
1.) You implied that this death was worse than other murders because "I knew a person who was friends with family of this victim"
2.) I stated that that is irrelevant, a murder is a murder.
3.) Suddenly I am a horrible person because of some odd imagined reason.

reading is hard yo!
If 2 people are murdered, my family member and random Bob who is at the wrong place at the wrong time. Does that suddenly make the death of Bob less important? No? Exactly my point.

This is incredibly naive given the current environment of the far right. In just another thread we've seen a study that shows just how insular they are, that any dialog or "education" is shut out and they turn to their own bubble to reaffirm their beliefs.
Before, being an actual Nazi was frowned upon by nearly the whole country, so they were isolated in their beliefs if they held them, so they simply never made them public. But now they have lots of outlets in Breitbart, r/T_D and many other smaller platforms to reaffirm their beliefs amongst themselves. Dialog is failing and has failed. We can't just eternally talk to people and hope they understand.
The Weimar Republic believed they could just keep talking to and educating their far right. That turned out swell.
