The first antiFa group in America was the Rose City AntiFa. Originally they formed as an organization to fight off a skinhead group who wanted to establish Portland as a home base. Often using the slogan, “Hate. Not in our city”, the Rose City AntiFa were successful in that endeavor. However the Rose City AntiFa rose to national prominence for their battles against the violent right wing gang that goes by Patriot Prayer and their buddies the Proud Boys. Patriot Prayer describes itself as a Christian Nationalist organization. Most, if not all, of their members have spent time in prison, and in many ways they are a prison gang on the outside. Joey Gibson, their leader, spent a few years in prison for armed robbery. Ever since the election of Donald Trump, the Patriot Prayer has made it their mission to harass and torment liberals. In interviews with the press Joey Gibson has claimed that his intention was to go into Portland, provoke a fight so that the right wing media outlets could use the violence in their propaganda against Portland and liberals. I get the idea that he was paid money for his efforts. Anyhow here is a video of one of the Patriot Prayer’s rallies. A couple of days later, that fellow doing the talking berated and then punched a black woman on the MAX train and then ran off into the night. The next day, on a MAX train, he was berating two dark skinned women, telling them to get out of the country when fellow passengers confronted him to get him to stop. As you can see, the results were disastrous. https://m.youtube.com/watch? v=VqX0xrwLRlw Here he is with the police after his arrest. And in court As for Patriot Prayer. They discovered that there was a restaurant/bar, said to be a hangout for AntiFa members. Where they went and committed a whole slew of felonies all caught on camera from different angles. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.or...yer-clash-at-portland-bar.html?outputType=amp
Where were your Antifa SPECOP super-ninja warriors during the pro-gun rally in Richmond VA on MLK day?
Spoiled kids. Living in their parents’ basement. Brainwashed by liberal teachers. Getting their only news by Twitter. Incredibly naive. Looking for a cause and a purpose in life.
Here's a video of Antifa in action. More Antifa antics. How does destroying property, setting fires, vandalizing police vehicles, and spray painting graffiti fight off skinhead groups? Why does so much destruction of public and private property always follow in Antifa's wake? I've asked you these questions several times now, and you never answer.
When one is evil and corrupt themselves, they tend to portray the evil and corrupt deeds of others as the "righteous", and creates threads defending the guilty and violent. Idi Amin did it. Jospeh Stalin did it Karl Marx Hitler also did it.
My assessment would be that you nailed it. Approves and maybe takes part? But I place the blame squarely at the feet of supposedly good men who did nothing. "All that is required for evil men to prevail is for good men to do nothing" And in this manner, evil has been invited into our beds and is slowly consuming us The decision has apparently been made that good men have chosen a slow and long drawn out surrender and demeaning death, rather than to take any risk whatsoever to stop the advance of evil. And so it will be.
Nah. @ImNotOliver seems like more of a slacktivist. Armchair revolutionary. Sits back and lets the Antifa lunatics do all the dirty and destructive work.
They arrested some antifas in France a year ago, a lot of them came from the upper class. Quite funny seeing those rich kids trying to play "the oppressed" when they tell the lower white class that vote FN how to vote. I can't find back the article about that unfortunately. Their method is quite simple : _ Step 1 : Pretend to fight "fascism" _ Step 2 : Call everything that oppose your ideology "fascism" _ Step 3 : Attack those people. To be fair, the american antifa system is more efficient than the european one. In the USA, the antifa get heavily debt to get their propaganda at college, in Europe, unfortunatly, it's the tax payer that pay for it. Sometime ago, I saw something about a leftist "colored" teacher that had a very comfortable way of life, telling white kids that went heavily in debt to go in college, how much they were "privileged". A lot of those kids would struggle to pay their debt while hating the society for that, while their leftist teacher would still have a comfortable way of life. Among vampiric manipulators, gender studies teacher are king.
To be blunt, there is a difference between self-defense and violence.(AKA: In America, it's called the castle doctrine.). Self-defense pertains to the use of force to de-escalate the situation or to protect yourself. In self-defense, the objective is not to harm others but to restore peace. Defending those who can't defend themselves would be righteous. But that slippery slope into violence, the acts of hurting and suppressing others for one's own gain or goals, is a very narrow one and AntiFA has(gone way too deep) into it. You can no longer call yourself 'antifascists'(insofar as one dubs fascism as strictly or mostly violence. I hate that interpretation, but we'll go with it for the sake of this thread.) . You, antifa, have become the evil that you proclaimed you'd fight. There is no justice in your actions now, you don't care about the weak and defenseless you see them as a target. And especially if that person voted for or expressed sympathies towards Trump.
Antifa is NOT an org. IT is organized AD HOC, thru the DARK WEB, same as the white supremacists. But the right wing here, seed only the BAD left. There should be NO NEED to fight nazis. WE already fought a war for that. But right wingers spit on all that died in that war.
What is that supposed to mean? The right tends to be pro-military and the left tends to be anti-military.
There's no need to be fighting Nazis now, because it ain't the Nazis that are rioting and burning cities.
We already fought the nazis. NOW, they are excused, while those assembled to fight them back, AGAIN, are called the REAL nazis.
