    Yes, lots of examples have been posted already. Here's more:




    Cue the usual nonsense about how anyone can wear black and Andy Ngo's a grifter.

    Don't have to be antifa to dislike trump most people do.
    They could be libertarians disgusted at trumps treachery.

    ‘The Deep State thwarts another fascist terror plot:’

    https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/fbi-avowed-white-supremacist-plotted-to-bomb-a-synagogue-in-colorado/

    Avowed white supremacist planned to set off bombs at Colorado synagogue. Also planned to poison the well..

    “ Holzer allegedly said on Oct. 13 that he planned to put arsenic in the synagogue’s water pipes on Oct. 31, just as he had paid a cook to do the year before. Oct. 31, 2018 was four days after a white supremacist, and avowed anti-Semite killed 11 Jewish worshippers in a mass shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh.”

    Nice one. I abhor fascists and commend all efforts in preventing any acts of terror.

    Notice how Anti-fa had absolutely nothing to do with the arrest, they aren't even mentioned in the article.

    Which begs the question why has the article been posted here, and what purpose does Anti-fa actually serve other then for some skallywags to act the hard man and beat people up.

    It had nothing to do with the thread. It's the cyclical nature of their commenting pattern, simply a petulant attempt to try to make a correlation between the behavior of the degenerate in their link and anybody who does not share the same political views as them. Their assertion being anyone who is white and does not think like them are fascists.

    It's to counter claims that there is no right wing terrorism problem and show how antifa are the least of the US's problems at the moment despite what the grifters are trying to portray.

    Everything is Antifa's fault, this is known.

    Aging is Antifa's fault.

    Back pain is Antifa's fault.

    The thread is about antifascism it seems perfectly apropos to highlight the fascism it is in opposition toward.

    Whose ever claimed there is no right wing terrorism problem in the US in this thread. Go on back up your claims and show me the post.

    You won't be able to.

    How did Anti-fa oppose that lad? They weren't mentioned in the article. None of us would've known he existed if it wasn't for the fbi ie not antifa arresting him.

    Virtually every political ideology opposes fascism bar fascism itself. Antifa aren't unique in their opposition.

    We are all aware of what anti-fa claim to oppose, and none of us need reminding of the danger actual fascists and neo nazis pose.

    You think this would-be terrorist didn't get influenced by fascist groups the antifa movement has traditionally opposed?

    No Anti-fa have no impact on the groups that they claim to oppose. The FBI consider Far-right terrorism Americas biggest terrorist threat, we've had a few terrorist attacks carried out and more that have been thwarted. All this during a time when Anti-fa have been rioting and beating run of the mill conservatives up. There is actually a better argument to be made that anti-fa have worsened the problem as opposed to made it better, though arguing for either is ridiculous in my opinion considering how much of a fringe group political movement they are.

    Anti-fa has no impact. It's a movement for people out to have a riot, damage property, tell us how much they hate the police and they rarely if ever target actual far-right people or Nazis.

    Re-read the OP. The thread topic is to do with the use of violence and intimation by Antifa. It is not an "All things Antifa" update thread so random articles/posts that have no bearing on the thread topic what so ever, are on the wrong thread.
    You post an article about a foiled “Avowed white supremacist “ terror plot in which Antifa was not involved in preventing the plot. You proceed to think that this scumbag is a fascist. And then you put both of these together and come to the conclusion that your assumption of fascism equates to that of the topic of the thread, and is now somehow of relevance because you are anti fascistic and feel the need to promote your narrative via a connection that's in your head.


    For example, between the blog posts on the Trump impeachment thread, would it be the correct place to be posting other political issues surrounding the US president at hand? No. No, it would not. Just because it has relevance to Trump does not mean that it is relevant to the specific topic of the thread, therefore it is off-topic.

    I know right wingers like to tell people what to do but isn't this something for a mod rather than a backseat mod?

    Anyway this thread has established that Ngo the guy attacked in the op is a facilitator and active participant with the violent far right. He is not a journalist but a shill and took part in a violent attack on a bar. The video is therefore self defence. The protestors had to get him away from the area before he doxed them and added them to far right kill lists.

    I understand that the melodramatic culture of the "left" is to "cancel" people and shut them down by utilizing their mob mentality by way of reporting excessively, and if my response to a back and forth argument relating to the topic of the thread is back seat modding, report it (you have), then post a sly remark on here as if to point score.

    There is nothing but video evidence on here showing how Antifa is nothing more than a gang of violent degenerates who attacked Gay Asian man because of their political views or how they reported on antifa events

    Cute pamphlets.

    Someone also distributed KKK pamphlets on Clemson campus not long ago, but do I have judicial evidence to say that it was the KKK who distributed the pamphlets?

    I'm pretty sure andy has access to a printer and construction paper. Your self-inflated theories about Antifa spreading deathwishes to Andy Ngo lack credibility. Poor andy always the victim of his own printed cards and friends with masks of his face.

    Theories? Sure you were the one going on about Ngo staging a robbery at Halloween by trick or treaters and now, him being attack by people in masks of himself and now him distributing cards that he made for himself using a printer and some construction paper. . . . . there is a pattern here. The homophobic attack on that poor chap is all on video showing the involvement of Antifa. Sure that can be anyone wearing black right? Could be proud boys infiltrating your ranks. Never gets old.

    I think Antifa is a bit salty because of the exposure that Andy is getting and it's not your cumrads. You try to discredit everything to do with that lad in such a childish way that only adults can see through it.

    None of those attacks couldn't have been staged by this self-aggrandizing filmographer and he would have a strong motive and ample opportunity to do so.

    How many time does Ngo have to lie to people's faces for them to realise he's a bad faith actor?

    Dunno why anyone falls for these grifters.
