ANTIFA's violence and anti-American rhetoric could be brought to an end, but it would take democrats, folks on the left and the MSM standing up and denouncing them for the thugs and idiots they are.

Will that ever happen?

 
There are good people on both sides.
Exactly! And dont you have to marvel about the sheer stupidity of people that can see those words, hear them, spoken, and be too ****ing stupid to understand that it involves more than just ANTIFA and white supremacists?
 
But Biden said Antifa are courageous Americans! He actually got CNN to defend them.

Unfortunately, far to many on the left feel the exact same way. The fact that there's been no effort to stop them and so few have even stepped up to publicly denounced them, says it all.

They are so brave they have to wear masks like all the other terrorists.

The Right is just intellectually lazy now. Antifa isn't going anywhere, especially so long as a resurgent fascism continues to assert itself. I don't approve or support their tactics or agenda, but I do also oppose Right Wing Fascism vehemently. It seems to me anyone getting involved in these political street fights, left or right is part of the problem, but I am far more concerned with Right Wing terrorism than some skinny Leftists macing Right Wingers at protests.

What acts of terrorism have Antifa committed in the United States?

Lies from the Daily Caller, there were far more people than just the Antifa at the Unite the Right Rally. He attacked him for saying that Trump drew a moral equivalence between Nazis and the people who opposed them in saying there were very fine people on both sides.

The irony burns.

There are no good people in ANTIFA...

Now that you've taken your mandatory shot at Trump, any comment on the actual topic?

I don't think that was a shot at Trump.




Here's the simple rundown:

- Typically, only the people condoning violence are the people committing it, and those people who think that being rude to a police officer means you deserve to get beaten by multiple officers.

- An easy majority of DP people "on the left" have condemned ANTIFA, and they do not owe you a damn thing, let alone owe you the duty of condemning it on command every time you say "oh look it's ANTIFA again."

- The very same people who fuss about "the left" allegedly not condemning ANTIFA tend to be those that go out of their way to insist that racism does not exist except for openly racist groups and further that they themselves having nothing to do with those groups and are not answerable for them.

I could go on, but do you start to see the problem with your thread?

Probably not, but still. :doh

I do not think you even begin to understand who is in ANTIFA if you think people expressing disapproval will shame them into not doing what they're doing. They're anarchists plain and simple. They don't give a ****.

In fact, as with racists, the most likely to get one to have an epiphany is to get that one to sit down with one of the people they hate, and then see that person as another human.

They have committed numerous acts of violence while wearing masks.

I don't know if this technically qualifies as "terrorism" but they are definitely using violence, and the threat of violence, as part of their modus operandi.

It is terrorism!
 
Such courageous Americans!
 
One Antifa member maces a person and a camera during a protest and this is supposed to be some kind of emergency?

Compare that to the right wing nutters that murder up to dozens of people at a time.

Get a grip.

Thoughts and Prayers. :2wave:

STOP YELLING!!!

Maybe it is? I haven't looked at the actual definition of terrorism to see if what they have done qualifies and to tell you the truth, I'm not all that concerned. They're wannabes who have marginalized themselves to "idiot" status and that will be their legacy.

So that the police won't identify them or white nationalists won't dox them. Wearing a mask doesn't mean terrorism. And the violence they have committed is common pretty much every period of political strife, with those on the extremes fighting each other in the streets. There have been no bombs, no coordinated attacks, no mass shootings, no running people over.

Yes, they don't want to debate Fascists, they want to use every means necessary to see they do not attain power. Again, I do not agree with their overall objectives politically (Anarcho-Communism) or their tactics (street fighting and property destruction in order to shut down Far Right demonstrations) but even though they are bad, they are not as bad as the people they are protesting against.

We aren't talking about the people they are protesting against, though. We're talking about THEM.

They are a scourge on society. If they all died in a fire tomorrow, the world would be a better place.

Where do you get that I am yelling?

"Will that ever happen?"
Nope.

AntiFa's leftist / anarchist message is one that would appear to resonate with the other leftists, and one thing that is obviously clear, is that leftists never other criticize leftists regardless of how offensive the other leftists are, Ohmar and Talib being case studies in the point.
 
All caps and exclamation points generally come across as "yelling".



Sorry if I misunderstood.



Exclamation points are yelling? Did not know that.
