As President Trump Condemns 'Antifa,' Protest Records Show Scant Evidence

But we need Antifa. We need an enemy with a face, no matter how distorted. Hell, in the absence of a true enemy, we'll blame inanimate objects like hoodies and bump stocks. Anything to deflect from the actual issues at hand.

One of the hallmarks of fascism is the creation of enemies for the base to oppose. Behold, the enemy Antifa.

Everyone likes a narrative to support what they feel they want or need to do. It's like any other form of selfishness, there is very often a contrived narrative to justify it. Governments do it too. Weapons of mass destruction being a case in point.

@masaca Sure, but on the back of a justified cause are those using it for their own ends on both sides of the equation. Some use it to invoke a far left narrative, others to invoke a far right narrative. Then there are those who use it to loot stores and instigate violence simply because that's what they want to do. So many people are detracting, or trying to detract, from the real narrative and the narrative that is important.

@SW-User Personally, I don't think it's distracting the left (protestors.) I do however, think it is distracting (or confirming Trump's personal, and I dare say shared racist and bigoted biases) otherwise known as "confirmation bias'"

I think there are surely criminal elements who are taking advantage of the early chaos. But, I am certain that there were, and most likely are elements of the rabid anti-government, anti-black, anti-government Latino, anti LGBTQ (closet homosexuals,) anti-everytthing non-white (that is to say Anglican,) who have taken an active participant in these protest demonstrations, to let's say, spark support, if not ignite a race war. Oh wait, I mean, "Civil War." My bad.

But you see, here's the rub. There are absolutely no coastal left-wing urban dwellers who want to March in to middle U.S. farm land, or dismal swamps, or mountain hillbilly kin townships (because we watch monster movies, dont'cha know)

And there is absolutely not one hung ho patriotic white pride group that has the guts to move on any of our heavily populated, well designed, cities. Hell, even if you all have tanks and sh*t trying to move into our cities you will meet resistance if not total inihilation before you reach 100 miles of our "county," limits, less alone our city limits. Then your infantry people, the hundreds or thousands who may manage to make to our cities, will have to duck and dodge our own militia forces (gang bangers, et al,) who know our streets and alley ways.

The way I see it is nobody is going to do sh*t other than a bunch of lynchings here and there in Marlboro country and points yonder.

The best I see you folks ever doing is sitting in your cornfields and come pastures talking big sh"t about what hitler and mussolini might've would've done, and sneaking off to the bushes and busting each other's buttholes in secret.

hehehehe.

@masaca @SW-User this was an interesting read from both of you. Thank you.

It’s way easier to blame the boogeymen than to hold oneself accountable
