So if Antifa is such a huge problem, why did only show up here August 18th

Any Thoughts ... Explanations ... ?


I have to admit ... I've never once see it on this Forum until a Week ago.

Maybe someone can do a quick DB search and prove me wrong?

Nobody ELSE had heard of Antifa until their college campus violence.

it dates from 1930's germany and is comprises a variety of left wing groups.
 
This is the first place I recall seeing something about Antifa, and that was about six months ago.



Interestingly enough, there appears to have been a point at which Richard Spencer at least denied being a white nationalist. Oh how that boat has sailed.

The answer is that evil is not measured by when it shows up at your door.

they have been around for a while but haven't been mainstream until the trump campaign came on line.
until then they have been hiding in their holes. with little protests here and there.
 
Antifa has existed for decades. They were running around out there under a different name. Occupy Wall St. for one.
 
I could ask the same question about statues, but it's off topic.

Not so. I WENT to a couple occupy events, and nothing like antifa was present, from what I saw.

Antifa comes and goes in lockstep with Nazis and other fascist movements. That's been going on for a century.

They actually tend to be pretty politically incompatible people who wouldn't work together under normal circumstances. But this is the one thing they agree on.

But it wasn't a problem here until a few months ago ... correct?

How much did the average American hear about Osama bin Laden before the 9-11 attacks?

Subversive groups, domestic or otherwise, tend to slip under the radar until their actions can no longer be ignored. That happened to Antifa in Charlottesville, when the group's name became widely known, but they'd been causing trouble on a larger scale since Trump's inauguration, where they broke windows and damaged property. Before that, they mainly stuck to the West Coast -- Portland saw a lot of burned cars and vandalized property from Antifa.

They're gaining a bit of notoriety now but there's not an intellectual giant among them, it appears. Chomsky just compared them to the Weathermen, so a domestic terrorist designation might be coming down the pipe. Chomsky also calls them "A gift to the Right."

"As for Antifa, it's a minuscule fringe of the Left, just as its predecessors were," Noam Chomsky told the Washington Examiner. "It's a major gift to the Right, including the militant Right, who are exuberant."

Just more idiots it appears. No wonder they hide their faces, just like the KKK of old used to do.

So the type of notoriety we're talking about here ... has it manifested itself through Bombings, Cross Burnings, Hanging, Lynching, Tar & Feathering type of stuff.

Or just your run of the will Protesting?

I mean we are trying to draw some type of quality ... right?

Not that I could tell. They were visibly re-connecting as long as 6 or 8 months ago, but no significant activity until relatively recently.
