Don't confuse your white privilege with your special purpose.
Cool story bro but do ya know how to use those things? Might help to familiarize yourself with it before making a scene with it.
Antifa groups directly advocate violence and "don't apologize" when violence breaks out at their rallies.[52] "Their methods are often violent and Antifa leaders admit they're willing to physically attack anyone who employs violence against them or who condones racism – as long as force is used in the name of eradicating hatred."[53] As one Antifa leader explained, "You have to put your body in the way… and you have to make it speak in the language that they understand. And sometimes that is violence."[54]
Antifascists rationalize their violent actions as "defensive." They argue, "Hate speech against vulnerable minorities… leads to violence against vulnerable minorities."[55]
From an interesting website called Influence Watch. I like that they provide source for their commentary. Antifa
Antifa groups have one unifying feature, "tracking and countering fascists and white supremacists." [41] Otherwise, the lack of hierarchy means that each local Antifa chapter decides what causes they choose to fight against. [42] These include, but are by no means limited to:
The term Antifa is currently used to define a broad group of people whose political beliefs lean toward the left, often the extreme left, who engage in aggressive protests against right-wing and center-right political groups.[8] Antifa's protest methods are often violent, and local leaders admit they're willing to physically attack anyone who employs violence against them or who "condones racism," as the Antifa demonstrators define it.[9]
- "Other Radical right-wing forces"
- Anti-immigrant movements
- The Patriot movement
- The militia movement
- Islamophobes
- Men's Rights Activists[43]
Antifa claim inspiration from 1930s-era extreme-left-wing German street protesters opposed to the rising Nazi regime.[14] Modern "black bloc" Antifa resurfaced in the 1980s, again allegedly to oppose neo-fascist skinhead movements.[15]
The movement first entered the American stage as Anti-Racist Action, a network that originated in 1987 with the "Baldies," an organization in Minneapolis, leading to the creation of other groups across the country to fight neo-Nazis.[16] After a relatively dormant period, large numbers of Antifa activists appeared in the United States at anti-World Trade Organization protests in 1999 in Seattle, and then more recently during the Occupy Wall Street movement. [17] Donald Trump's success in the 2016 campaign and resulting Presidency has seen "explosive growth" in Antifa membership and a surge in violent activity.[18]
It's hard to get a handle on AntiFA because they are so decentralized. However, when I have been able to find direct quotes, such as when they protested Milo in Berkeley, they have been full of recommendations for violence and their rationalization of such. There's no doubt the "official" position of their leaders is violence in service to their cause. -bb (sorry, I can't get the italics to turn off.
Thank you...
I'm still trying to get my head around any group being so ignorant of, and oblivious to, the fact that they're exercising their rights to bear arms, speak, and associate....
