okay well first, do we live in the late 1800’s? or the 1960’s? i said very clearly “Currently” so tell me, as of 2020 what race can you call all kinds of awful names and have zero repercussions? what race are you able to say their lives dont matter and have Cambridge university promote you after saying?
Nobody is saying what happened in the past didnt happen or was right, You’d be hard pressed to find anyone who is glad it happened or does condone it. but as of 2020 the overwhelming majority of people of all races get along very very well and have no problems with race or anything (in the us anyway).
And just for “fun” multiple members of my family were slaves and my great grandmother and her family were treated horribly when they first came to america why doesn’t their experience count? They were irish btw. Im sure you remember the “no irish need apply” signs?
Contrary to popular belief it wasn’t only black people who were treated poorly and they were certainly not the only slaves in the world and to pretend they were is disingenuous at best and racist at worst.
again, you didnt give a response to my main talking point. you dont get to cherry pick here friend. I didnt say they didn’t did i? All i said was it wasnt only black people who were treated poorly which is a fact.
now do tell me, what race in 2020 can you openly discriminate against and get promotions?
A loose organisation without a leader is a organisation that will very quickly derail. Antifa have had activists that used violence and general intimidation to prevent disagreeables from speaking up. Whether it be elderly men, more right-leaning journalists, or homosexuals who does not necessarily support but does not speak totally ill about the American president.
Antifa being a loose organisation is a problem, much like anonymous being a loose organisation is a problem, because everyone can and will brand the organisation no matter their intention and acts.
From what I have read, Antifa is generally a movement composed of a mixture of people, one side that believe that violence should not be a tool to be used because facism in the world does not pose a physical threat, and the other side that believes violence is perfectly viable because the government fails to protect the people in certain places.
Antifa, like any loose organisation, is in fact a very great threat.
They want to overthrow the government/parliament by means of revolution and institute their idea of socialism here after all the dissidents have been dealt with.
Hmmm… the current special advisor to the UK Prime Minister claims to be a Leninist…to say nothing of the shenanigans various members of the UK’s defunct Revolutionary Communist Party have been getting up to, in the Alt-Right movement… Antifa is short for Anti-Fascist…my comment stands.
you nailed it!! 110% spot on. They started out with good intentions but their lack of leadership and left wing radicalization quickly devolved them into an outright terrorist cell. project veritas even had people inside their ranks (lack of a better term) and they were teaching people how to cause as much damage to people they dont agree with as possible including gouging out eyes.
This combined with them instigating the vast majority of the riots in the us (i seen it in person in Seattle) is starting to point to them being a far left terrorist group.
how is that a strawman? its literally the exact same thing your saying “well they’re called anti fascist so they must be anti fascist right?” If that’s the case then why does the “democratic” republic of korea not count?
