    I now antifa get some bad press but last year hundreds of far right nazi's and white supremacists marched in Charlottesville North Carolina this year only a handful took part.

    Looks like counter protesting these guys works.

    Both sides are morons.

    All eyes on Kursk. Slava Ukraini.

    Trump was 100% right, as he usually is. Bad people on both sides or whatever he said. To describe Antifa as being anything worthwhile is a joke.

    What was I reading / listening to that being / claiming to be anti fascist is the default state?

    Oh yeah...!

    @4mins 13seconds
    I see people who define themselves as anti fascist on their twitter profiles. Who isn't?! I'm sorry that's the default setting. It's not impressive to be anti fascist. Imagine showing off about that? "I am NOT a fascist!" Good! What do you want a f*ckin' medal? Not endorsing fascism is about as common as not endorsing fingering children. Can we not just work from the assumption that most people, even people we don't like, aren't fascists.

    A win for Antifa is like a win at the Special Olympics...

    First version of that joke I heard was "arguing on the internet is like a win at the special olympics."

    Unemployable left wing people put the bong down for more than five seconds to 'mobilise' against the phantom bogeyman that is the 'alt-right'?

    Ok then.

    I just find it hilarious that people whose political parties typically achieve 4 percent of the vote in this country think they have a right to no platform people.

    Actually the police attacked them and protected the fascist group. Still only about 20 took part compared to hundreds last year.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,512 ✭✭✭Sweetemotion


    Antifa should be classed as a terrorist organization. Couldn't believe that bike lock guy only got probation for almost killing six people.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,496 ✭✭✭Will I Am Not


    Are they still stabbing police horses?

    Is anyone who counter protests at a far right rally considered as Antifa? Just wondering.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,496 ✭✭✭Will I Am Not


    I find them funny to be honest. It usually doesn’t end well for them.

    And yet it was the right wing guys too scared to show up :p

    So the only possible reason that a person could be counter protesting at a far right rally is that they are a member of Antifa. Is that what you're saying?

    Members of the public doing something like protesting is very troublesome. It's easier to associate them all with one group or public figure. Then you can stick it to them all for the actions of others. Case in point, Paul Murphy. All anti-IW protesters were suddenly supporters and defenders of Paul Murphy. You could condemn Murphy then anyone protesting by association. A lot easier than insulting the electorate or addressing the problem. All Home Sweet Home Supporters allies of Brendan Ogle etc. etc.
    A lot handier than having to accept some ordinary members of the public disagree with you or are pointing out bad policy.
    I always thought these protesters not affiliated with anything but human decency should carry the American flag and wave it at the racists marching. Might let Trump know he's an apologist for the wrong side by making across the board equal measure comparisons.

    No, you lumped every counter-protestor in with Antifa with your "Does a bear **** in the woods" response.

    It is really odd how so many obnoxious people can't get along with each other.

    Not when those against them go out and act like morons themselves. Antifa attacked the police at the march. If the white supremacists attacked the police we'd be hearing about it for days. Donald was right about them.

    A guy was shot in the head with a flash bang by the cops. Wearing a helmet saved his life. Cops attacked the counterprotesters.

    Last week an Antifa harassed Candice Owens an african american young woman who was minding her business eating out breakfast, the video footage speaks for itself.

    stabbing police horses?

    Stabbing them to death?

    With a knife?

    For no reason?

    Or is this a hysterical accusation from the files of Alex Jones?

    Reddit isn't a news source. It's a forum. The people who post there are anonymous internet people who could be getting their information from anywhere, or making it up.
