    Still basically an immigration issue though. Spencer doesn't want the refugees.

    So what if he doesn't want them? lot of people don't, why wasn't he allowed to protest us intervention in syria?

    So what? You were just claiming that the thread wasn't focused on immigration.

    By someone they didn't like, you are refering to the white supremacist richard spencer?

    Obviously, but why did they break up a protest against us intervention in syria? are they pro-intervention? or was it more petty bs just because spencer was running it?

    Its not, bar the last few pages its been a discussion about antifa, as suggested by the thread title, the immigration discussion was largely finished, you brought it back up.

    Read the thread.

    I have. The root issue underlining the entire thread is immigration.

    the core discussion is the actions of antifa, motivations for such actions have come up, why are you so set on getting this thread closed down?

    thats a bit childish and petty wouldnt you agree? shut down a protest against something you are also against because you disagree with the organizers on other issues.

    No. If he was handing free kittens to blind orphans he should be confronted.

    Pretty much hound him whenever he tries to promote his white supremacist ideology in public. Don't think he could be locked up, maybe for hate speech.

    Its discussing each sides reaction to the dispute over immigration.

    And so I suggest it should be part of an immigration thread.

    you literally argued against yourself there, yes its about antifas actions to disputes, therefore its not discussing immigration and doesnt belong in an immigration thread, ill ask again, why are you so adamant that this thread should be closed down?

    I'm just saying it would be a lot more honest to admit the issue is actually Immigration isn't it?

    All public appearances are to promote himself and white supremacy.

    Here's the event you are talking about. Guys openly admitting to being nazi's and anti semetic signs.

    but its not, its antifa as an organization and their actions. The fact their motivations come up every so often doesn't chsnge the fact they're the main topic of discussion, why do you want the thread shut down so badly?

    Back to the original problem it seems, what gives antifa the right to decide what someone can and cant say then use violence to silence those they disagree with? Why is being an actual fascist ok when you pretend you're an anti fascist?

    Also you do realize that violence gives legitimacy to his nonsense, 99% of people will hear his bs and think ''oh right this guys a mentalist!'' but when the perception is ''this guys freedom of speech is being silenced with violence and intimidation'' that will get a lot more people on side with him than him speaking.

    This thread kinda went unnoticed because, frankly, I don't think any of the mods knew what 'Antifa' was. But now it's started to get troublesome and generate reported posts. We've taken a closer look and it seems to have started off as a discussion on some sort of political movement and then turned into back and forth arguments about different political topics.

    Well, we're not having it. There are two politics forums where you can discuss this Antifa thing and all other aspects of politics. I suggest you all cut out the bickering that's been going on in this thread when you post in either of those forums.
