Let’s talk about Antifa.

I guess I was the only that enjoyed reading his rants.

Comedy gold.

I enjoyed them, at first. But, it started getting old and I really started to wonder whether those are his actual beliefs...

I think the issue was that it was impossible to tell whether he was being a comedian or not. To the casual observer that might have painted the forum in an indefensible light, which I'm sure the moderators as well as many patrons wouldn't want.

Either way, I'm not sure that too many people find Holocaust denial funny beyond the ludicrous nature of making such comments. The same can be said for the white supremacy he was advocating for.

i feel like he would try to argue his point and then when he could not figure out a logical response, did what many drunk uncles do. BLAME THE JEWS! BLAME LIBTARD MEDIA!

It's a car forum. It's a car forum, this is the internet.

Way too many people take all this shit WAY too seriously.

OMG world leaders and the general public are paying attention to a niche car forum for a car that hasn't been produced in nearly 30 years.

looks like we might actually see some justice here.

to represent antifa- i'm all for free speech, but if you're willing to drive your car into a crowd of people because they have different viewpoints- fuck you, you should go to prison and stay there.

[z31maniac]

^That's a pretty brave stand to think people who commit wanton violence should go to prison.

Please tell us more about these controversial viewpoints. ;)

well that was kind of my point in starting this thread. i've posted about the iron front more than once- the three arrows represent resistance to fascism, communism, and monarchism.

these are all values that i think we should be able to agree upon, as americans. that's why we started this country and engaged in enough wars that it takes a hand to count them- and that's just in the past century.

being antifa *shouldn't* be controversial.

i'm not black bloc. but they've gone active again because of guys like this.

Being against facism is not controversial. It has never been in this thread. The personification of antifa, given their tactics, and "perceived tactics" is what is controversial.

I do have a serious question, though.

Do you perceive the people you counter-protest as being legitimate and intimate threats to the livelihood of all Americans and/or the structure/basis of our government?

[z31maniac]

Did you miss the sarcasm in my post? I thought it was pretty obvious.

And we've gone through the whole "Antifa uses fascist techniques to fight fascism" (and apparently doesn't see the irony) so what is your point?

well, the last two articles i posted should make the livelihood threat clear enough. they're running people down with cars, and showing up with baseball helmets, bats, and shields to political events.

whether they're a voting bloc large enough to answer the second question is another discussion. but- i do think they're being emboldened by the current administration and the "MAGA" meme, which i think a lot of them interpret as a thinly-veiled excuse to advocate for white supremacy.

The wheels of justice are grinding in Berkeley, too.



The pretrial for former Diablo Valley College adjunct professor Eric Clanton has been set for Feb. 22, 2018.

Clanton was charged with four felony counts of assault with a deadly weapon and a misdemeanor offense of wearing a mask to avoid identification back in May.

The charges stem from an April 15 protest in Berkeley, where a masked individual attacked attendees of the “Patriot Rally” with a bike lock.

that would be a black bloc guy. what i've been trying to explain is that they are a subset of the antifa movement.

i don't approve of their tactics because as seen here, they're the ones that wind up in the news and create bad optics for all of us.

i'll try to be fair here. i didn't see this happen. i watched the video of the event and it looks like though obviously it was a tense situation, that was unprovoked.

sounds like this guy thoroughly fucked his life up- he probably has 6 figures worth of debt from the master's degree he needed to teach at a college, and he's never going to pass a background check again. stupid games, stupid prizes...

Where do you even buy a Sriracha t-shirt?

Same place you buy that ugly striped zip up.
