    Ah, and now this parry from you. A text book example common from millions of similar minded posters.

    I didn't show up to pick a fight. You're doing that quite nicely with your ad homs and personal insults.

    I simply offered the observation that, IMO, the post I originally commented on more aptly described Progressives, than the "right wingers" you were attacking.

    Well we all now know what I think of that opinion, in fact I just returned from the latrine.

    That isn't remotely true.

    The First World War was triggered by an Anarchist.

    Fox is like an hysterical lullaby.

    But the train has always been crazy; it's just that the current engineer is particularly colorful.

    Definitely some truth to this.

    People are bad.

    The original comment referenced impulses, and I think that's correct.

    Many Antifa & Antifa supporters I know have remarkably fascistic personalities; some are even former (or current & just deluding themselves) conservatives.

    Ironic.

    Someone doesn't need to possess great intellect - or even the illusion of same - to recognize simple self-deception & parroted partisanship.

    Another leftist who didn't watch the video but still has an opinion. Shouldn't you have some awareness of the topic before commenting?

    Some good points, but not on the nihilist claim.

    Many Antifa types are just conservative wannabe entrepeneurs frustrated by the lack of easy economic opportunity; slackers with big dreams & small self-discipline.

    And you ran the same *arguments* past me.

    You really need new material.

    It's incredible isn't it?

    Absolutely zero self-awareness.

    I do have an awareness of the topic and watched the first five minutes, that is all I could tolerate. Seems like the OP didn't watch it all based upon my observation. Did you watch the whole thing?

    If is Bull. Why was Hitler able to rise? With his far left gang of Brownshirts.

    We see the violence daily committed by the Left. Yet they pretend innocence.; They are no more innocent than was Hitler.

    Young men showed up to preserve a statue in Charlottesville. Trump said there was good on both sides. I believe the Antifa are the evil. But to the media it is those defenders of history that are evil and those criminals with clubs are the good guys. Trump is wrong. The Antifa have no good people.

    Nobody should take you seriously when you mention alt-right. Alt right in your view is just right wing politics.

    Well he's one of those people that thinks everyone to the right of him is alt right. Therefore the words don't mean anything when he says them.

    Who was brandishing the Nazi Swastika at the Unite the Right Rally? Wasn't antifa, and antifa was around in 1932 but they weren't brown shirts, they fought the Nazis as they have at other times in history.

    We already went over this, right wing extremists are the most dangerous in today's society post-9/11. Your apologetics for the Right is to simply blame anything bad about the Right as actually being a feature of the Left, such as your historical revisionism of Nazism.

    Chanting, "JEWS WILL NOT REPLACE US," and "BLOOD AND SOIL" and they were calling the rally, the Unite the Right rally.

    What a one sided distortion of how the events unfolded, and who these "defenders of history" really were.

    Check out this "defender of history," such a good guy.

    And these ones.

    And speaking of clubs.

    Who are the Nazis?

    funny how you refused to post photos of your angels. Why did you refuse to post your buddies, the Antifa?

    As far as those you accuse of particular events, you seem oblivious as to who showed up to fight them. Would you demand they are disarmed to allow Antfa to beat the hell out of them?

    We are far more threatened by the punks waging war on America called Antifa than those on the right present .

    As to calling people Nazis, that is not what i said. Still by defending Antifa that is like defending actual Nazis. After the photo, a few things will be stated about Antifa. Antifa below.Notice the masks.

    https://capitalresearch.org/article/antifa-activist-faces-jail-time-for-nazi-punching/

    Antifa activist Sydney Alexander Ramsey-Laree will serve 60 days in jail for assaulting Jack Posobiec, a journalist the Left has smeared as a neo-Nazi because he is a Trump supporter.

    This kind of violent direct action is called “Nazi-punching” regardless of whether the target is an actual Hitler enthusiast. Antifa throws around the epithet “Nazi,” with wanton disregard for the truth, lumping ordinary conservatives, moderates, and some left-liberals in with fascists, skinheads, white-supremacists, and other fringe figures. Even if some of these individuals do hold some abhorrent views, Antifa should not preemptively attack individuals it doesn’t like. As long as a person isn’t credibly threatening or intimidating others, they should be allowed to speak, record demonstrations, or generally be left alone.

    The alleged Nazis hunted by Antifa are supposedly so evil and dangerous, Antifa activists claim, that Antifa needs to protect Americans by sucker-punching first and asking questions later. In other words, the activists have managed to convince themselves that throwing the first punch at their targets is an act of self-defense.

    Beating up alleged fascists is fine, even if they’re not physically hurting or threatening anyone, journalist and Antifa organizer Natasha Lennard writesin an ode to Antifa violence in the Nation. Watching a video of a masked assailant throwing an unprovoked punch at white-supremacist Richard Spencer’s face on Inauguration Day 2017 is in Lennard’s words “counter-violence” and something of “pure kinetic beauty.”

    At the time of the assault against him by Ramsey-Laree, April 23, 2017, Posobiec was filming a recruitment rally of the D.C. Anti-Fascist Coalition, an Antifa group, at George Washington University, as a correspondent of Rebel Media.
