Neo-Nazis are a fringe movement. Antifa is a near-mainstream violent, fascist left-wing movement which is engaging in politically and racially motivated violence.
You have already established that you have an irrational need to paint all left-wingers as extremists who want to ruin everything that is normal and good, but the idea that antifa is 'near-mainstream' proves that you're even more out of touch with reality than I thought. No, it proves that I'm paying attention, whereas you get your news from CNN and MSNBC.
Here's a hint. They lie.
quote:
If Trump hadn't already validated and empowered the alt-right (including the Nazis), they would still be almost completely unknown. How exactly did Trump "validate and empower" the alt-right? This is pure fantasy on your part.
Another error on your part is to conflate the alt-right with Neo-nazis (do try and get it right petal). The alt-right is a broad spectrum of political thinkers united by the desire to push back against the authoritarian collectivist extremism of the regressive left. Their primary focus is upon retaining the hard-won freedoms which Americans have enjoyed for centuries instead of submitting to the socialist-style crushing of individuality and freedom of expression which comprises the bulk of the regressive left.
quote:
I could be wrong, but it seems to me that unlike the Nazis/alt-right, Nazis are not part of the alt-right.
quote:
they have absolutely no designs on power and are mostly interested in defending western values, which they correctly perceive to be under attack by the likes of Trump and the alt-right. On the contrary, Antifa is replete with anarchists and violent Leftists who honestly believe that violence is the appropriate response to losing an election. Within 2 years, one of them will attempt to bomb their political opponents. The Left does this sort of thing rather a lot.
quote:
They're not looking forward to a race war, don't want to reverse all of the progress we've made since the end of slavery, don't fetishize the 19th century/traditional masculinity, have no religious devotion to Hillary or Bernie (unlike Trump supporters/Nazis) and in fact don't seem to have any coherent ideology whatsoever. Antifa is pretty much anti-white men. Like the bulk of the regressive left. So, yes - they're racist.
quote:
They aren't opposed to white people, they don't have any biases against gender, sexual orientation or race... Now, you're just lying.
quote:
they just don't want to live in the exclusive white, heterosexual, male-dominated, backwards-looking world that Trump is trying to impose on the US. Here's a news flash for you. White, heterosexual men have dominated America for a couple of hundred years. Know why? Because they fucking built it.
Kind of the same way Asians dominate China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Indonesia and so on. Do you see any of them engaging in bleeding heart rhetoric about their fucking unearned privilege? Of course not.
The thesis that the group in power doesn't deserve that power is the whiny butt-hurt refrain of the loser. The justification for action is in cases when power is not being employed in a utilitiarian fashion to the benefit of the people.
quote:
The only thing they have in common with Nazis is tactics, So basically, you admit that Antifa are as bad as the Nazis. Thank you for playing.
