@QuixoticSoul Your friend Mark went down this angry path you're on. He got suspended last week. I'm gonna do you a favor, and ignore you for awhile. We'll see if you get any smarter. Good luck. I think you'll fail. But I'm pullin for you!
They are and have been shown to be violent and anarchistic. No, they're not altar boys or boy/girl scouts, they're a violent bunch who, on not agreeing with others' views create mayhem wherever they can.
Well, a recent article in the NY Post, saw it differently, a complicit mayor in Portland, a beaten and brain injured journalist, and apparently a lack luster demonstration by the Portland PD to stop the attack on the journalist. Their (ANTIFA) violent behavior has NO place in this nation, nor would any other group, who not agreeing with a given political party openly resorts to violence https://nypost.com/2019/07/05/its-time-for-a-federal-civil-rights-intervention-in-portland/@calnative
@Anopenheart Neither are terrorist organizations. They're just groups out to engage in political street violence. Have a sense of proportion folks - LARPing fight club assholes are not the same thing as the Oklahoma city bombing or 9/11.
@Anopenheart @QuixoticSoul Yup. Both are in the same league. Which is not terrorism.

YES. I've just been posting about this on my Facebook. Brutally attacking an innocent homosexual asian and an old man. They are losers with violent tendencies who want an excuse to be violent and to feel they are actually doing something with their life, so they larp and cause damage to other people.
@cunningcrocodile usually spoiled middle class kids turned nihilistic cowards/bullies. They wouldn't know actual facism if it goose-stepped up to them.
@Ryannnnnn Yes, they were told by their parents and teachers how amazing they were, how they are going to be the next president. Then they get hit with the real world, no one cares about them, so they kick up. They are definitely the bullies, the cowards, and dare I say it - the fascists.
From what I can tell, ANTIFA only exists at the level of crowd swarming in a few select cities. Outside of that I think they are just a collective fear.
I mean if bona fide white supremacists, racialists, anti-federalists, anti-queer, anti-whatever groups don't qualify as hate or terror groups but rather alternative political views-- I can't see ANTIFA as anything different....
@pagandad The media isn’t hiding anything, and antifa will be the first to tell you that they are out to disrupt, ahem, “European Chauvinists” and make it more difficult and dangerous for them to organize. This is what they do, and they will freely admit that they’re breaking the law. Like it is for many proponents of civil disobedience, that’s even the point.
This isn’t even new, it’s been like this since the 1930s.
No. Antifa are just some young people who engage in street violence. They are not out there mowing down nazis with their car or setting off a bomb in a parked car where there is a crowd of people.
