Antifa

[sturg33]

Figured we can get a thread going about this piece of **** group.



Question for the board... since symbols and flags are so important... do these guys waiving communist flags - a symbol which represents governments that killed hundreds of millions of people - bother anyone?

Also important to note that anti fa is not an American group. This is a global radicalized movement looking to put down free speech worldwide.

This post is bull****. You only feel this way because you are a member of the alt-right. Antifa is an answer to neo-nazis. Probably not the best one, but that's what they do.

I think the word we like to use for these guys "activists" right?

Here's a video from the perspective of someone at the rally... If you are interested in hearing a perspective other than the echo chamber, give it a watch (note: I am certain this guy is biased and am fully aware of the fact)

Peaceful protesters, lawfully exercising their right to civilly demonstrate.

Not a nazi, but a generally despicable Milo

Ok - So now its ok to silence non-nazis?

He stands arm in arm with the alt-right which houses the neo-Nazis. So there's some blurred lines connections. Rather than post how that came to play in Berkeley, you can read about it here.

Mother Jones - A very neutral opinion.

This is how it starts. First with Nazis (valid). Then with guys who have detestable views (Milo). Then anyone who doesn't agree with everything we say.

That is fascism at its finest.

There was also the cancellation of the Avenue of Roses parade in Portland a few months ago.

The left embracing this will be their undoing. There will be a tremendous counter push as this continues to go further and further into madness.

So the guy who created an anti-Israel thread and has made antisemite comments numerous times is accusing thethe of being alt/right?

You forget about those hitler like comments you've posted?

From a pastor:
"A phalanx of neo-Nazis shoved right through our human wall with 3-foot-wide wooden shields, screaming and spitting homophobic slurs and obscenities at us. It was then that antifa stepped in to thwart them. They have their tools to achieve their purposes, and they are not ones I will personally use, but let me stress that our purposes were the same: block this violent tide and do not let it take the pedestal."

From a rabbi:
"There was a group of antifa defending First United Methodist Church right outside in their parking lot, and at one point the white supremacists came by and antifa chased them off with sticks."

From an academic:
"At that point, more of the anarchists and antifa milling nearby saw the huge mob of the Nazis approach and stepped in. They were about 200-300 feet away from us and stepped between us (the clergy and faith leaders) and the Nazis. This enraged the Nazis, who indeed quickly responded violently. At this point, Sekou made a call that it was unsafe—it had gotten very violent very fast—and told us to disperse quickly.

While one obviously can’t objectively say what a kind of alternate reality or “sliding doors”–type situation would have been, one can hypothesize or theorize. Based on what was happening all around, the looks on their faces, the sheer number of them, and the weapons they were wielding, my hypothesis or theory is that had the antifa not stepped in, those of us standing on the steps would definitely have been injured, very likely gravely so."

Imagine if everyone has the rights of a police officer to murder anytime they get scared. These events would turn into shootouts.



I don't have too much of a problem with what Antifa does I just wish it was targeted more effectively. I wish they would fight against the war on drugs. It is the vehicle facists use to justify their violence. We should be finding these bible thumpers who vote away our rights because "you should be trading duh bibles instead of smoking the doobies". Find these Jethro hillbillies and run their asses out of the country. Burn their houses. Destroy their cars. Hang them from trees. Let them know facists do not get to vote the rights of others away without consequences. Inknow many of you think that's wrong, but they voted for a war. I say we bring it to their doorstep. The constitution is supposed to protect the minority from the tyranny of the majority.

I never made any anti-Semitic comments here. Or anywhere. Never made any "hitler like" comments ever. Heck the closest to a hitler like stance I've made here is towards the Neo-Nazis. What you don't get is being against the US propping up the state of Israel doesn't mean I'm anti-Semitic. It means I don't believe we should spend billions on billions of dollars on Israel when we have many more pressing issues here. Especially considering the general scumbaggery the Israelis have done towards the Palestineans under Netanyahu.

Conversely let's look at something that Richard Spencer just said

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/wo...-a7898051.html

“Let’s be honest… Jews are vastly overrepresented in what you could call ‘the establishment,’ that is, Ivy League educated people who really determine policy, and white people are being dispossessed from this country."

and

“...an Israeli citizen, someone who understands your identity, who has a sense of nationhood and peoplehood, and the history and experience of the Jewish people, you should respect someone like me, who has analogue feelings about whites.

“You could say that I am a white Zionist – in the sense that I care about my people, I want us to have a secure homeland for us and ourselves. Just like you want a secure homeland in Israel.”

And who said about Trump's Holocaust Remembrance speech it was the “de-Judaification” of the Holocaust.

Just as a parenthetical note, since you guys are always mentioning the campus protests, it bears mentioning that the only use of deadly force in those incidents was a shooting by a Milo supporter.

The shooter's husband wrote this beforehand:

"I’m going to the milo event and if the snowflakes get out off hand I’m going to wade through their ranks and start cracking skulls.”

Not all violence is murder, but you know this.
