Boston Alt-Left Violence on Display

There were 40,000 counter protesters. There were only 33 arrest. There were a small minority as in any large group of people who caused problems. It should be noted that there were 39,977 people who caused no malice towards anyone. Should reaffirm our faith in the goodness of most people. Let's never let the minority on both sides talk for the rest of us.

That is kinda funny that a guy wearing an Israeli flag is a Nazi, right?
 
haha

One person gets pulled along with their flag and fell down. Playground stuff. Yeah, that's just like murder. Oh, and that guy had his hat taken! That's just like murder too.

So snowflake. Let me give it a try:

Did you SEE that ****ing crap!!!! They pulled on her FLAG!! I cannot believe such ****ing terrible CRUELTY and disregard for ****ing human LIFE!!!!

Am I doing it right?



you have completely lost it.


We have several examples of ANTIFA attempted murders, from bike locks to ieds and molotov cocktails. dont be such a homer for antifa scum
 
Actually you dont agree and you are defending and standing with Trump Neo Nazi scum if you do not openly condemn them and try to put blame on the opposition.

Fact is ANTIFA are anarchists.. not communists or socialists. When was the last time an Anarchist party ran a government and country and caused millions of deaths? Never...

Now Nazies... we know what they want, and how they will do things if they get power... We know they are racists, anti-semitic and worse... and ANTIFA is the extreme opposite of that.

So when you and others on the alt right try to take focus away from Trump Neo Nazi Scum and attack those who oppose them by saying they are some how equally bad, either as ANTIFA or all of the counter protesters... then frankly you and the ones on the right have lost the plot.. because that is taking focus away from mass murdering anti-democratic forces that are embedded in the freaking White House.

Basically.. if you are against people who protest against Trump Neo Nazies, then you are for the Neo Nazies and their beliefs... there is NO middle way.. you cant be a little pregnant.



trump nazi? what the fucl is a trump nazi?


antifa's flags represent anarchist and communists, most are communists.
 
you have completely lost it.

Chief Brown said that Johnson, who was black, was upset about recent police shootings and the Black Lives Matter movement, and "stated he wanted to kill white people, especially white officers."

'Son of Sam' killer David Berkowitz said a dog told him to murder. That has more credence than your claim of BLM causing Johnson to murder. You can't show any factual BLM statements to urge anyone to kill cops.
 
What am I supposed to be backing up here? I couldn't understand what you're asking for.



Show proof that BLM said anything purposely causing Johnson to murder those cops and that it's "black extremists", meaning it's a case of blacks as a race, that are the driving force behind cop killings.
 
I knew it. I was gonna ask for a citation, but I know that'd go nowhere. Glad someone can point this out.



Side question:

Does anyone self-identify as the "alt-left"? Alt-right is a self-designation, but as far as I can tell 'alt-left' is just a slur and an attempt to legitimize the alt-right.

It most certainly is a slur. The Alt left is impossible to reason with. Any attempts at discussion are met with being called Nazis or alt right. Even if the people attempting to discuss with them are liberal themselves.

It is absolutely a slur and because you think anybody that slur's the extreme left is automatically "alt-right" I can only assume you are irrational alt-left.

I wish to slur your ideology. I find it vile and repugnant and its the best way to get people laughing at you. Simply applying an apt label and watching you cry about it only makes me want to do it more.
 
Probably antifa, but then again they probably wouldn't care much what other people called them, since their group is just as unorganized as whatever the alt-left is.

antifa is communist authoritarian. As left as possible.

When the alt left cries about being labeled alt left, you know you've aptly named them.

Despite the attempts of ecofarm to claim labeling the alt left aptly is really to advance the alt right. You and I and every other reasonable person in the center left center right and middle know we are just saying they aren't much different than the alt right.

This is the smartest thing a person can do. We don't ever want to see the loony fringes of political spectrum as reasonable.

Don't justify it. Don't apologize for it. Call a spade a spade. They absolutely are alt left. They would call you a Nazi and justify punching you for simply disagreeing with them.

I found it interesting that in his first post ecofarm attempted to say anybody that labeled the alt left as such was really doing it to help the alt right.

I made a thread about being central in the spectrum. I'm petty close, just a tad right. Mostly libertarian. He said that I'm doing it to legitimize the alt right. To him that's why anybody does it.

This has been the only tool in the alt left box for decades. They Try to associate people who disagree with them with absurd groups in an attempt to coerce agreement.

Not saying you did fall for it, but nobody should. People know their own positions way better than the alt left does. Pawns may jump on the bandwagon so as to prove to the loudest voice that they aren't Nazis... excuse me...alt right. But don't be scared, into hiding. Have you seen these people? You'd have no issue defending yourself.
 
Same ideology. That's why they are called nazis. The same way we can call people communists that were not part of the Soviet Union. No one is confusing them with time travelers.

Not really the same ideology. Today's wannabees spout similar beliefs but are not taking similar violent steps to acheive their goals. The difference between today's wannabees and nazis is the same difference we see between the average Muslim and the Muslim terrorist.

Two completely different animals. It's anti-intellectual to tie either of the two groups together.

No one is calling them WWII Nazis. No one is claiming they are time travelers. Do you have any ability, whatsoever, to maintain context? Is every word in a sentence a unique thought to your reading?

It's an ideology. Racist nationalism. That's all there is to it.

No one claimed any such thing. If they did, I didn't see it and don't care. I presume you invented this strawman, but maybe someone trolled you.

You mean left wing in general? I'd expect you to have some left wing positions.


To be nice, I'm gonna try to teach you something. No one is crying. First, let's get that absurd misconception off the table. I'll explain the objection:

1. Alt-right is not right wing. The word 'right' in the name is added for rhetorical purpose. It attempts to lend credibility to the group. Racism is not a right wing platform. Nationalism is not a right wing platform in any meaningful way.

2. No one self-identifies as alt-left, so it doesn't even exist.

No. I mean the alt left. It seems to be the most boisterous version of the left wing and really the only part of it that is the problem. I am quite liberal socially speaking though in conservative on the fiscal end. So that really makes me quite central

Not at all an act of arrogance lol but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.
No one is crying.
Waa waa waa its a slur...

So far so good teach.

Yes the alt right is a tiny bit of people that support identitarian politics.

Also nationalism is a liberal ideal as much as it is conservative. Believing that the nation should be able to govern itself autonomously is necessary for liberty. Liberalism is about having rights the government can't infringe upon.

If course the alt right isn't really right it's quite close to the alt left.

2. No one self-identifies as alt-left, so it doesn't even exist.
I identify ideologies as the alt left. Such as communism, socialism and globalism. I call these alt left because they aren't even close to liberalism.

You don't have to accept the term or its meaning but words and the concepts they describe come into existence when they are used. The alt left has appeared in the lexicon and if I speak to people using that word they know what I mean. Whether somebody identifies that way or not makes no difference.

But you shouldn't be offended. Basically communism and socialism is the antithesis of liberalism because they depend on totalitarianism.

If you are none of those things and you are liberal, I'm not talking about you. If you are you should wear it as a badge of honor.

Nice job Mr. Kotter, what class are you teaching this fall?

You're correct. That's all there is to it.

They aren't nazis.

Are you trying to protect the good name of Hitler's Nazis?

You're like some guy getting all pissed because someone calls someone a communist, ~"is he Stalin, huh? Does he have Gulags? No! So he's not a REAL communist!!11!!"

They're nazis. Get over it.

Are children who play cops and robbers really cops and robbers?

A little intellectual honesty is needed here.

~"Those guys are not real nazis, real nazies were badass, they were powerful and deadly; they were the bigliest, really, just amazing people. These new guys are posers and will never be world shakers like the guys with the, did I mention, awesome uniforms."

Okay, we get it.

A little intellectual honesty is needed here.

Your thinly veiled glorification of ww2 nazis is hardly intellectual honesty. Intellectual honesty would be you realizing everyone is talking about ideology and not time travelling.

You're basically trolling with "how awesome were the actual nazis compared to these wannabes?" There's no intellectual integrity there, nothing of value or discourse. You're spewing crap and you've the nerve to question my intellectual honesty.

You see -- this is all you've got. No intellectual honesty here -- just an attempt to cast aspersions on anyone who tries to make you tell the truth.

Deep down -- you understand that the white nationalists of today are nothing like the real nazis. You know that. You simply can't stop calling them that, however, because it reduces your argument, and you can't have that.

The nazis are dead -- they're gone. You don't even realize that by calling these guys nazis, you're minimizing the actions of the nazis of the past by comparing them to these pantywaists.

Either nazis are genocidal killers or they aren't. Which is it?

Amazing.
 
I cannot believe he's still typing about that crap. I wonder if anyone reads it.
 
I wouldn't trust anything from FOX News. They distort everything. I'll guarantee that anything that didn't fit their narrative was edited out. They are scum.
