Let's talk about anarchy!

in defense of masking up:

there are databases of activists who've been doxxed because they went to a protest action and didn't conceal their faces.

The "Antifa" are not anarchists. They are"Anti-Fascist" Fascists. They are also cowards, that's why they cover their faces and act like petulant children.

I didn't start this thread to bait decay, I started to have an honest debate. So be an adult and offer poignant, intelligent positions you can defend with facts. Don't do the Fox News hyperbole BS.

I'm genuinely open to new ideas and solutions.

Up here they were calling themselves anarchists years before the term antifa was a thing. Their actions haven't changed, and it's simple, break shit and cause trouble. What fox news hyperbole? I've seen the same shit going on for years

Disagree. If you aren't using violent means, you have no need to hide your face. They hide their face to prevent prosecution for violence.

You didn't see MLK or Rosa Parks hiding their identity when it meant they could be lynched. Sorry, it doesn't hold water.

As I mentioned earlier, if you are going to make claims, be able to back them up.

Show me an article from 5 years ago when "anarchists" were preventing parades in Portland, for example, by threatening violence.

So it's some kind of story im making up? I haven't seen it every year like clockwork on all the local news channels? All of them showing people breaking shit and tagging up red A' s. Like I said search up may day Seattle on youtube

one's own personal safety is a pretty good reason to hide your face. you can practice non-violence and still be targeted for it.

yanno, like how MLK was assassinated?

No one is MLK here. That's substance for you.

pointless statement, ignores the actual safety issue.

Statistically, I doubt relevant.

probably because you're not the one being doxxed.

Explain doxxed please. But people protesting and subsequently getting murdered is incredibly rare.

having your name, sensitive information like home of record or place of work, phone number, residences of family members, etc, published for purposes of retribution.

the frequency of murder is not the point- operational security is. i assume *you* wouldn't want someone calling your job and trying to get you fired because of your political affiliations, correct?

you realize you're calling protestors fascists out of one side of your mouth, and advocating fascism out of the other, right?

z31 mentioned MLK, which gave me an opportunity to illustrate a point.
