Do you support antifa?

[2mAn]

This isnt to call anyone out, nor become a place to argue about antifa there's already a place for that. I'm just genuinely curious as to what people think.



Once again keep the bullshit out of this!!!!

Clearly you didnt know what was going to happen...

I was slightly disappointed this wasn't an option.

and because of your failure to add the Rob option, this thread is done.

Hundreds of people in an urban center in California. Yea, you've really got the bulk of society called to action!

Society wants nothing to do with either group and carries on conducting themselves as respectable people who don't wear swastikas or considering breaking a window at Starbucks an appropriate thing to do.

well congratulations on winning the elected position of speaking for all of society.

Burgundy, since you can't seem to manage a salient argument, you can just go eat a dick until an original thought gets ejaculated into your head. i'll wait.

when hundreds of people show up to kick the proud boys out of town, society has spoken. i'm not sure why you all seem to think i'm a solo actor.

Were they doing anything illegal?
You and "hundreds" of people don't speak for society as a whole. You still seem to be under the impression that because you disagree with someone that it gives you the right to forcibly silence or remove them.

I'd bet money that for each of your hundreds of people, there are a thousand people sitting at home wishing both sides would just go the hell home, realize the west isn't under attack nor do we live in a fascist state, and be productive members of society.

^^ Precisely this.

I wish the Decays of the world understood just how much your average person dislikes them and views them as a complete joke. We don't really care about a couple incoherent inbred skin heads with permits standing around a confederate statue. We ignore them like we have for decades. Now we have a bunch of mask wearing idiots blocking roadways and destroying our trash cans trying to tell us what we already know; Nazis are idiots. Know who else we think are idiots? Fascists, communists, and socialists.

Jesus - defensive much?

No, just confused

[Turf1600]

I would say right and left? I'm not sure what you're trying to prove or insinuate?

Jesus - defensive much?

[lambo]

Just so we're clear - what exactly are those sides?

They're both vocal minorities of their respective sides.

[MrBurgundy]

good for you.

in our country, the police are a protective force for that use; which is why the proud boys get thrown in their cars and safely escorted out of town. let's all thank Ryan for doing the lord's work. so glad my tax dollars are keeping white supremacists safe.

You're such a dense, self-righteous asshole

[lambo]

Are you suggesting that the majority of people support the proud boys - the group that exists to give angry incels something to identify with that isn't living in mom's basement?

something something about the vocal minority?

you do realize you just contradicted yourself, right? if "words shouldn't hurt", why does canada have laws restricting the use of nazi imagery? you just got through saying how they wouldn't be law-abiding citizens in your own country.

(also, i have a job and today is my 40th birthday, so your impression of the demographics of antifa might be misinformed.)

No I didnt. I said I'm glad I live in a country that restricts its use, doesn't mean I'm going to go out and get violent over it. I can think someone's an asshole and still control myself, let the law deal with them.

Your problem is you think you're more entitled to determine what should or should not be permissible, you determine appropriate behavior instead of letting society decide. Maybe you're turning 40, but you're still acting like an adolescent.

I always forget that only the white supremacists are violating any laws/ordinances at these gatherings, it's definitely not the children wearing masks and destroying people's property, or shouting that everyone present not wearing a mask is a Nazi.

I'll have to put that little reminder in my pocket book for the next protest I go to..

That's even worse. I wouldn't tell people that.
