There are a disturbing number of people on this forum who seem to be of a mind that "Proud Boys" and their ilk are bad and violent, and Antifa are bad and violent, so it balances out because both sides are equally bad..... it doesn't and they aren't!
Antifa types are a loose movement of people who do not generally have criminal records and are only interested in opposing the rising tide of fascism and white supremacy. They mostly target far right-wing and white supremacist protests.
White Supremacist groups such as Proud Boys, Aryan Nation, The Base, Atomwaffen, Vanguard America & American Front et al are organised, violent, racist criminal gangs with assault and murder on their resume. They are bent on making America a "White Homeland", and to that end, they stockpile weapons, form armed militias and spread hate and vilification of anyone that doesn't match their imagined ideal of a white American patriot. They will commit violence ANYONE who disagrees with them, including other white people whom they regard as "race traitors".
Treating these two groups as "equally bad" is short-sighted and beyond ignorant.
