    That's like the RIRA asking:

    "When did being a republican become a bad thing?"

    This whole thread is full of good reasons why Antifa should be considered scum.

    I don't think anyone has suggested that merely being against fascism is a bad thing. Kinda odd to imply they have tbh.

    Hysteria,
    If it was up to you guys football fans would be designated terrorists.

    Exactly my point.
    Should football fans be designated as terrorists then?

    Antifa are far less violent than them.

    God Almighty. Another person who doesn't know the definition of terrorism:
    the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.

    The bolded part is what is important. Antifa meet this definition. Football hooligans are predominately just out to have a scrap so do not.

    When you describe "fascists" as anyone who disagrees with you and then act violently to ensure they are silenced.

    Who does that? Certainly not Antifa.

    Football hooligans are part time. Antifa are full-time. Hooligans are degenerates who live for the match days on weekends or/and the odd match weekdays, depends if they're allowed out. They dont have their face covered, They dont dress is uniform (jersey doesn't count, most don't even wear them) and go against opposite firms/supporters who are equally just as engaged. Antifa dress in all black, face covered, attack and harass individuals impeding on their right to merely have an opinion that differs to theirs. Antifa is delusional.

    Antifa equates to a fisher-price Gestapo

    It’s funny, when there aren’t any fascist marches there isn’t really a need for an anti fascist response.

    There would be about 4 members. Social anxiety would kick in and they would head on home again.

    They've done similar in the past. I've posted this numerous times now. From the ADL:
    but the use of violent measures by some antifa against their adversaries can create a vicious, self-defeating cycle of attacks, counter-attacks and blame. This is why most established civil rights organizations criticize antifa tactics as dangerous and counterproductive.

    and in particular:
    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.

    Yes. Their definition of fascist is to broad.

    They DO NOT attack everyone they disagree with. That’s the statement I was countering.

    simultaneously weak and pitiful and a dangerous menace to be feared. Schrodinger's terrorists.

    Even the weakest , beta group of people can be strong if the numbers are great enough.

    Not sure how their resolve would hold out though if faced down by an group of alphas.

    Flee like rats back into the sewers as we have seen over and over again.

    Alphas and Betas? Not this ridiculous trope. Let me guess, you consider yourself an Alpha.

    So now Antifa are a violent destructive mob who flee like rats at the first sign of resistance. They sound like zero threat to me. If I ever meet them I’ll just exude charisma at them to scare them off.

    This is beyond parody at this stage.

    Another word for them would be bullied. Hunt in packs. No good on their own. Cowards


    They probably feel they are doing the right thing but it also fills a hole in their lives.

    I like this one because it shows what happens to a bully. Notice how they don't fight back

    Yes, they counter fascist and racist marches/rallies but they don't have one singular outlook, a mixture of lots of them. They aren't organising their own rallies and whatnot or running on any type of platform.

    If you look at my clip above you will see white Antifa members goading a black chap.

    So no you are not right.

    Run for the racist card again. Bottom of the barrel stuff

    This alpha and beta people stuff all comes from nazi type beliefs about race, blood etc.

    Everything is about Nazis with you.
    You really buy into this shït don't you?

    Have you ever thought about heading out to Portland for a look? (Serious question)

    It's true though. They are normalising such belief systems.
    Some people are genetically better than others, race realism I believe they call it.
    People like Stephan Molyneux go on about it.

    No intention of going to Portland "for a look".

    Right so they do have a political aim. Wasn't hard was it. In fact it's even in the name: Anti-fascist.

    It just so happens that there definition of fascism is outrageously broad, and they use violence and intimidation to fight what they see as fascism.
