In fact you are a leftist and your idea of human rights does not extend to innocent people having a quiet meal on their own without interference, harassment and often violence. You also have no idea what is 'open minded' or 'close minded'.
But that would mean a boss, and regular hours, and conformity, and a bunch of horrible grown up stuff like that. It's way funner to 'protest'. You get to yell profanities and everything. And we know how much kiddies like to cuss out loud when the grown ups aren't paying attention.
Yes it does. I dont agree with the obnoxious heckling done to Kirsten N & The Red Hen refusing to serve Sanders was plain stupid. Joey Gibson was also refused service at a bar here in Wa.
There is truth to that. Dont forget going to the weed store daily and the non stop recognition on social media. There are people involved for the right reasons though.
Then how does this relate to " I just applaud their dedication to standing up for those things mentioned". They behaved like fascists and you defended them.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifa_(United_States) I don't see any of that mentioned here. Even if they did bring "awareness" of issues, any Tom, Dick, or Harry can do that, their violent tactics far out way any good they might do.
Your premise seems to be it is and either/or issue. Most intelligent people oppose both atifa and neo nazis equally because they are both equally vile. The problem is that where antifa shows up there are no neo nazis. Antifa's constant refrain is that everyone right of center is a nazi or fascist but this is simply a lie. Antifa hates and violently attacks anyone who is not an extreme radical leftist. There are very few neo nazis running around outside of prison.
I fully supported Standing Rock and all protests surrounding that. Any group has the right to assemble and practice freedom of speech and this includes Patriot Prayer. Antifa's labeling everything Nazi is big now, imo seems like more rhetoric to fan the flames.
You support the environmental degredation that Lefty leaves behind? https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/23/us/standing-rock-protest-dakota-access-pipeline.html
the right calls white supremacists "fine people" see, we can do that too, find someone on the other side that says something and apply it to all on that side the truth is, most people on both sides do not support white supremacists or Antifa
If a group of conservative white people gather to make a speech or hold a rally, they are immediately labeled alt right/far right/nazi's by the media/left. Any conservative who goes to speak at a college is immediately labeled alt right/far right/nazi by the media/left. Prove me wrong.
When was the last time you heard them calling, or are you hearing voices? There are a few groups the largest having 400 members. That's 1 Neo-Nazi every 10,000 square miles in the US. I'm Jewish and I feel safer among Neo-Nazis than the socialists who dog whistle about 'Zionists' as though no one knows what they are really saying. You are aware that American Progressives gave Hitler the template for Nazism, aren't you?
