Let’s talk antifa

[Hardcore troubadour 12,588]

There’s no mafia either. 

[TimmySmith 2,782]

In worms defense there is no antifa. Only an uber fascist movement that refers to themselves as antifa. And just because they operate on the dark web doesn't mean they aren't organized in the same way kiddie porn rings are. 

[Voltaire 4,554]

My God, I've never ... and this is all the way back to torridjoe and recliner pilot and peenie on her worst day ... I've never been this jaw droppingly taken abackin awe of the ignorance of anything ever written in the history of the Geek Club as I was when I read that OP. It's like the principal's reaction to Adam Sandler in Billy Madison except real life.

I am in awe. I could not possibly disagree more with a post of this magnitude I disagree with this one. I'm so lost, I don't even know where to begin... I guess post two would be a good place to start and read what others have written, as soon as I gather up my eyeballs that rolled across the floor and pop them back in my head,

Worms, we agreed on things far more that we disagreed for many years here. I'm glad you came back after your long hiatus. For years we had each other's back and I appreciate it, but Holy Hell dude, I don't know where to start.

This is historic. On August 2nd, 1990, Saddam invaded Kuwait. August 2nd, 1992 was my last day on active duty in the Army. August 2nd, 2020 is  the day I read IGotWorms' Let's Talk Antifa post in the Geek Club.

[Voltaire 4,554]

I will never link to this again. Ever. Further, if I ever see it again, I will link to this thread.

This is worse than anything Billy Madison has ever said.

None of us were in the room in the 1920s when the Soviets were developing their agriculture policy en route to accidentally killing 20 million people, but IMO this is the closest we're likely to come to reacting like this in our lifetime.

It's an act. worms is reduced to trolling like the other libs here because that is all they got. It's come down to troll, or admit how wrong they have been their entire lives about the reality of our world and utter failure of the party they supported.

I don’t like these Antifa people. Whatever point you’re trying to make is lost when you show up wearing masks (pre Covid), damage property and get violent. They call themselves anti fascist but define “fascism” as anything they disagree with and use the tactics of fascism. I suspect a lot of them are just there to break windows.

That said they’re not an organization at all and Antifa is Trump’s election year caravan.

I don't know how anybody can say they aren't an organization. They may not have an official Bored of Directors but they are very organized. 

My wife works for a company that, among other things, installs and maintains commercial security systems. One of her Techs, working in an area with a riot scheduled later in the day (he was in the area before dawn) saw a rental van pull up, 4 guys get out, open the back doors, pull out a ramp, push out a pallet of bricks then jump back in and take off.  

They knew when and where the riot would jump off and they pre-positioned bricks for the rioters to use. Little Billy Black Shirt didnt rent that van or buy those bricks or put them where they could be used in his spontaneous little riot. Somebody else did all of that. That's called organization.

That’s what I’m getting at. Not necessarily trump exactly but it seems they’ve been made a convenient boogeyman and blown way out of proportion.

Not saying you have to like em, I don’t think I particularly do and I’m trying to figure out if I should just kinda disapprove or really strongly hate them. But regardless they’re just a bunch of donks

If you happen to dislike tearing down Washington and Jefferson and Grant statues, if you happen to dislike throwing explosives at federal courthouses, if you think defunding the police or assaulting journalists, or police or motorists is bad or barring white professors from teaching classes, or if you like free speech or funny jokes, or if you don't want normal people to flee in droves from the Dems to vote for Trump, maybe you should consider the "really strongly hate them" option.

Dear God... these people want to destroy the country, not reform it. They'll tell you just that if you read the brochure they give you.

It's not an act. He is the product of the MSM. Most Americans walking around only know what the media tells them He's our regular everyday joe. However, to his credit he gets a dose of reality by visiting here. It's very hard for him to understand the truth and he engages in doublethink but at some point, he'll realize most everything he's been told is a lie

“The Ministry of Peace concerns itself with war, the Ministry of Truth with lies, the Ministry of Love with torture and the Ministry of Plenty with starvation. These contradictions are not accidental, nor do they result from from ordinary hypocrisy: they are deliberate exercises in doublethink”

If theyve been blown out of proportion, whats your opinion on how far socialist anarchists need to push their agenda before you would do something?  Is infringing on others rights not enough? 

As, I said before, it doesnt sound like you deal with them locally.  Im sure youve never been at a traffic light and have bike marshals threaten you and your family if you try to move forward at a green light?  Would you like them taking pics of your car, license plates, and family and threatening to come to your house en masse?

You’re hyperventilating from a scared boogeyman perspective, probably because you’re all the way around the world and only have Fox News telling you what’s going on.

What's funny is you referenced the "alt-right" mere minutes after I mocked you for doing so while feigning ignorance about antifa. 

When was the last time, or first time, the "alt-right" started a riot anywhere, let alone in your town? Ima guess never. 

Talk about made up boogeyman.

Take a step back, look at the big picture and reassess your position because you have it all wrong. 

[Voltaire 4,554]

Let me try this. This is Eric Weinstein explaining Antifa from a liberal perspective in the most generous terms possible. And while this video is from a few months ago, they're rioting in Portland, well until yesterday and they set up an autonomous zone in Seattle where three people were killed in three weeks. Another reporter just got stabbed yesterday or the day before. The NYTimes editorial board just got overhauled by the far left a couple of weeks ago.

Decent minded normal liberals (no conservatives or Trump supporters on this list) just wrote about this entire cancel culture in Harper's three weeks back: https://harpers.org/a-letter-on-justice-and-open-debate/

Maybe Bari Weiss' resignation letter from the NYTimes will resonate: https://www.bariweiss.com/resignation-letter

Bill Maher has TDS as bad or worse than anyone but he's been good about this all along, check out anything he's said along these lines. Or Dave Chapelle's comedy special. These aren't right wingers. None of the people above are right wingers.

Oh really.  A few incidents you say?  A recent survey revealed that 73% of all college aged Democrats want statues of Washington and Jefferson taken down.  That’s not a Fox News “Bogeyman”.  That’s a large majority, and it continues to grow.

I would love to see worms sit down in front of all business and building owners whose stores/property were torn apart and people who were hurt or the parents and friends of the people who were killed and explain to them face to face how all the violence was just a figment of their imaginations it was really just nothing in the end.

[Voltaire 4,554]

I figured worms wouldn't listen to us because he thinks we're delusional, it's why I gave him a bunch of links to other liberals he might trust more but I don't know if he's interested in clicking the links or just focking with us.

Ask people in the insurance industry if the riots of 2020 were just a few isolated incidents.  Trust me, the losses were off the charts and will likely result in every insurer losing money this year.  No bonuses this year for of the employees in this industry.  Ask those people if they are imagining that.

I am not sure I blame Antifa for all the stuff going on.  It is pretty much a result of the mainstream Democrats and the media constantly fanning the flames of a race war.  Who needs Antifa when you have CNN?
