    Oh yes, the alt right that murders minorities and political opponents weekly, why don't antifa oppose them more peacefully!

    In 1930s, why did the Antifa raise their voices at the nazis? So rude!

    Oh here we ago again with the hyperbole, comparing modern America to 1930's Germany. The decade of Kristallnacht ofcourse.

    Any reason you've ignored post number 3399?

    Oh sorry, your whining got lost in midst of all other whining by you.

    I don't agree with that ADL article. Did I say somewhere I always agree with ADL? Weird, I don't think I ever did!

    No hyperbole. Far right fascists have been murdering people on a weekly basis. Have you not noticed? Seems like you love ignoring it.

    Opposing such violence can get pretty intense. I bet you'd never oppose such racist violence, you, such a liberal lefty and everything.

    Unbelievable! Let’s go with your thinking…

    Madonna stated to a rally after Mr. Trump’s inauguration that she fantasizes about blowing up the White House; Kathy Griffin had promo pictures taken holding up a bloody, severed head depicting Trump; Robert De Niro expressing a desire to physically assault the president; the New York City Public Theatre’s version of “Julius Caesar,” set in modern day, featuring Mr. Trump as Caesar being stabbed to death; Johnny Depp musing about Mr. Trump during an interview, “When was the last time an actor assassinated a president?” And just last week at a demonstration outside Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s home, a protester screamed, “Just stab the motherf#&$er in the heart.”

    So… are you saying it would be admirable for the right to target these knuckleheads with violence?

    You can ignorantly accuse me of "whataboutism," but what it really is involves identifying similar scenarios in order to see if it holds up when the shoe is on the other foot!

    Murdering innocent minorities weekly and saying **** like that about the president seem like........different........things!?

    Who murders more minorities... whites or other minorities?

    Problems understanding as well, not surprised.

    lemme try again:

    - Weekly mass murders of minorities
    - Shouting obscenities at president

    These are two things, not one.

    One is a violent one, one is something that happens every time there is any president, and doesn't seem to kill anyone.

    Let me paraphrase: they are two different things, not the same.

    Let me also help more: If person x says they hope president y rots, there is nothing to defend. Those were words. If movement x murders minorities weekly, and people who the murderers sided with are having protests against minorities, there's a lot to defend. Unless you actually enjoy minorities being murdered, in which case, you'll probably accuse the defenders.

    Evidence please that it's been happening on a "weekly basis". Bear in mind we're referring to America here.

    Oh I've provided links to this many times. You seem to be using the alt right tactic of "even when the proof has been provided, keep asking for it, just to waste their time". Weird for such a self awoved liberal lefty!

    Weekly: recently, have you been watching the news? I bet not.
    The Anti-Defamation League recently reported that right-wing extremists were linked to more murders in the United States (at least 50) in 2018 than in any other year since 1995, when Timothy McVeigh bombed an Oklahoma City federal building. The organization also found that in the past decade, roughly 73 percent of extremist-related fatalities have been associated with domestic right-wing extremists, relative to about 23 percent attributed to Islamist extremists.

    https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2019/08/how-can-fbi-fight-far-right-extremism-ideology/595435/

    In case you're gonna go for "There aren't really that many nazis, you're just delusional!" classic leftist liberal argument AGAIN here's an article too Over 1,000 Hate Groups Are Now Active in United States, Civil Rights Group Says

    etc etc, I'm sure you can see some of the proof if you want to search for it. But why would you really, shared articles of liberal lefty pages such as Daily Caller will surely be give you the truth you need, without having to look at actual evidence.

    Okay... SO, PROVIDE ME WITH PROOF THE PROUD BOYS MURDERED MINORITIES. If you're unable to do so your whole argument is CRAP!

    Laws don't help the people who are already gunned down. Kill 20 minorities, then kill yrself, become an Alt Right martyr, but of course, protesting these people is the real fascism! Yep, that kinda attitude is directly hurtful to minorities so there ya go.

    When has a protest against mass murderers of minorities been attacked and shut down ? Please provide proof or else you are just making things up.

    Or

    Are you saying that the proud boys are marching in favour of these lunatics that have committed these acts in recent times ?

    yep, so there ya go pardner :rolleyes:

    Cap lock is fine. You are the one who said the methods (violence) were understandable use against people who murder minorities. Antifa is targeting the Proud Boys this weekend. So... make the connection to your argument.

    They are continuing their fake news propaganda that propagates those people murdering people. It's beyond dogwhistling, and ignoring such is such blatant disregard of the physical reality we live in, it clearly comes from a sad ideology.

    Not sure if lunatics, of course you wanna blame mental illness but the people did leave their manifestos showing where they took their influence. Perhaps leave the mental illness references to actual forensic doctors.

    Caps lock is a sign of yr derangement imho!

    They are opposing the Proud Boys march which is 100% to spread fake news fascist propaganda, which has been used as reasoning in those murders. They also incite violence via intentional provocation, which everyone understands except the people who pretend not to get it.

    So yes, definitely worth confronting. Easy connection, mentioned already many times, but I know you'll keep feigning ignorance.

    Says you:D And no, I'm not a "liberal lefty" either. Not a very good judge of character are you. A bit like your pal Hill16bhoy. I'm a centrist.

    "Have you been watching the news" might be evidence in loony anti-fa land, but not in the real world unfortunately.
    snowblind wrote: »

    The article you quoted doesn't say that attacks by far right terrorists have been happening on a "weekly basis" as claimed, neither does the particular part you quoted. Indeed the report linked says "Five shooting sprees resulted in 38 deaths". So the numbers don't add up for these murders to have been happening on a "weekly basis". More hyperbole.

    Oh and btw, the part did you did quote links to a study by who? Oh that's right, the ADL. The same organisation who says:
    Antifa have expanded their definition of fascist/fascism to include not just white supremacists and other extremists, but also many conservatives and supporters of President Trump. In Berkeley, for example, some antifa were captured on video harassing Trump supporters with no known extremist connections. Antifa have also falsely characterized some recent right wing rallies as “Nazi” events, even though they were not actually white supremacist in nature.

    Funny how you only "agree" with the ADL when it suits. Very typical of an ideologue.

    The NY times article needs an account to read which I'm not doing. Regardless, what is important is number of members, not number of groups. This should then be taken as a proportion of the American population to give the percentage (it'll be in the single digits). So no, there aren't that many Nazis.

    Again, giving me a google search is not evidence, and as I said, we are talking specific to America here.

    Regardless, the idea that antifa are in anyway effective is preposterous. Your own links prove this. The group became resurgent under Trump (elected 2016). And as your own links show, the number of killings by the far-right hit a record high in 2018 for this decade, the highest since 1995. Seems all that rioting has had the opposite effect intended. A big F for antifa so.

    The protest this weekend is a statement against the attack on journalist Ngo with the goal of getting Antifa declared a domestic terrorist organization and to showcase to the world Antifa’s violent tactics.

    So, it sure seems like you’re okay with using violence against an organization who wants to peaceably protest violence.

    Boggles the mind.

    You can ignorantly accuse me of "whataboutism," but what it really is involves identifying similar scenarios in order to see if it holds up when the shoe is on the other foot!

    Only an authoritarian would believe that they "own" minorities, or anyone for that matter. The evidence keeps building as to what snowblind really is. A far-left authoritarian who supports scum like antifa.

    And how have they 'defended' themselves countless times before... by stomping the crap out of anyone they simply consider to be an enemy (alone usually) and destroying private property?

    Oh yeah... You might not be familiar with our Constitution, but...



    And, yes, I’m happy Antifa is finally starting to get nationwide attention for the violent ways they operate, and the MSN seems to be backing off providing cover for them.

    So defend means attack now? I'll add that to the list of words that have changed meaning in this thread.

    No, you're one who assumes they mean attack when they say defend.

    While at the same time praising the Proud Boys for saying they will only use violence to defend themselves. Why doesn't this mean they are going to attack Antifa to you?

    At least be consistent.

    That's grasping at straws. Antifa claims their violent actions are defense when they are the ones on the offense. And show me where I defended (in the non-Antifa true meaning of the word defend) the Proud Boys on anything other than their claim to not want to initiate violence, and their right under the Constitution to peaceable protest. I would give Antifa accolades if they promised not to initiate violence, and, I do support their right to also protest peaceably.

    So if someone punches you in the mouth for doing nothing but what is Constitutionally protected, and you punch back... YOU are the attacker? That's some crazy reasoning.

    You can ignorantly accuse me of "whataboutism," but what it really is involves identifying similar scenarios in order to see if it holds up when the shoe is on the other foot!
