Lessons to be learned from the Kavanaugh Hearing

[Ziggurat]

Lol, because all Antifa are communists.

You have no idea what you are talking about.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifa_(United_States)

The movement draws in part from a tradition of anti-fascism in the United States which stretches back a century, tracing its roots to the 1920s and 1930s, when militant leftists were involved in battles against American pro-Nazi organizations such as the Friends of New Germany.[22] Although there is no organizational connection, the lineage of antifa in America can be traced to Weimar Germany,[23] where the first group described as "antifa" was Antifaschistische Aktion, formed in 1932 with the involvement of the Communist Party of Germany.[24]​

Yeah, I've got absolutely no idea what I'm talking about. indeed.

"formed in 1932 with the involvement of the Communist Party of Germany"

"there is no organizational connection"

"Involvement". 1932. In 2018 all Antifa are communists. Hilarious.

 

[Belz...]

When a country calls itself a democratic people's republic, you just *know* it's a legit democracy.

You're missing a pretty big thing, however: the actual fascists that antifa is supposed to be opposed to.

Zig, you're not even talking about the same group. Did you read the text before posting it?

 

[fishbob]

Have fun being a victim. I refuse.

Yeah!! Stand your ground is not being properly implemented!!
I propose that all women be issued appropriately sized hand guns.
When held down and groped, fire low and often.

It's not like they're all laissez faire capitalists.

 

[phiwum]

It's not like they're all laissez faire capitalists.

I wonder if there's some middle ground between a group being communist and a group being made up of laissez faire capitalists.

Say, not every member of the American Economists Association is a laissez faire capitalist. I guess the AEA is communist.

 

[Thermal]

It's not like they're all laissez faire capitalists.

That's true. But antifa is apolitical. They exist to push back against neo-nazis, not to push any agenda of their own.

I'm with you, all women that want to be (and can legally do so) should absolutely carry concealed. My girlfriend does.

That doesn't give people the right to block roads and intimidate folks, or stop them from going about their way in the name of "protest". Keep it legal and on the sidewalk.

I stopped traffic just yesterday illegally, but guess what? I didn't insist or block anyone. I asked with hand signals, in order to help a lady cross the road that was in a wheel chair. Everyone seemed ok with taking a couple seconds for that. Being blocked by protesters... not so much.

Stay classy.

Antifa ARE the fascists. They are on the same level of hate as the neo-nazis. Anyone that is a conservative is a "nazi" to them.

 

[BrooklynBaby]

The real Antifa were commies who fought fascists in the 1930s and on. (Both sides thought they were "the good people", but the commies and the fascists together killed tens of millions of people. They were real. Today's Antifaux are groups of left-wing cowards attack GOP citizens who just want to be left alone, justifying it by calling them "Nazis". They are a bunch of delusional losers who will go down quickly when they wander out of the areas where they have political cover from like-minded politicians, attack, and are immediately treated like the cowardly thugs they are.

 

[varwoche]

If you think Antifa holds liberals/Democrats in any higher esteem than they hold conservatives/GOP, you're paying too much attention to Trump talking points and far too little attention to reality.

Does that mean Antifaux is attacked mercilessly by the left's most important political forum, "The View"?

What's "The View"?

 

[applecorped]

And no lessons were learned.

The first antifa were from the 1930's. They had a specific agenda at the time. Modern antifa are not the same, except in name. They organize only to show nazis the door from their communities. Not conservatives, or Republicans. Just neo-nazis.

White supremacists hate people for what they were born as, and seek to deny them their rights and sometimes kill them. Antifa hates people that choose to be white supremacists, and nothing more.

Neo-nazis exist. Antifa only exists to push back. No nazis, no antifa.

What's "The View"?

A TV talk show that no one politically cares about but the alt-right pretends is somehow meaningful and representative

You portray yourself as a literal Boy Scout, while endorsing running over political protesters with cars.

Choking on the irony here

Fixed. I'm all for legal protesting. You lose me when you break the law and impede others civil rights. The moderates on the left need to speak out against this crap before its too late and there is reciprocation from the right extremists. I predict only then will liberals speak out.

Lies. Antifa beat anyone that supports Trump or GOP. Are you suggesting all of those people are "white supremacists"?
