Are Antifa Members Laying Groundwork For Civil War?
Bearing Arms ^ | November 6, 2019 | Tom Knighton

Posted on 11/06/2019 9:52:30 AM PST by Mafe

Like many on the Right, I’m not exactly a fan of Antifa. I don’t support fascism of any kind, but I find it especially loathsome when it pretends to be anti-fascist. Antifa isn’t so much about combating the scourge of fascism so much as labeling anything they disagree with as fascism so they can then turn around and commit acts of violence.

Antifa has done it for a while, starting with setting fire to buildings at Berkley to blocking a speech by right-wing provocateur Milo Yiannapolis and eventually spawning into the so-called “Battle of Berkley.”

That “battle” was, primarily, a brawl. While it was ugly, it could have been much worse. Antifa caught the losing end of the stick that day. They expected their opponents to run away when faced with violence, only their opponents were ready, willing, and able to respond in kind.

However, Antifa hasn’t disappeared. They’re still out in force, stirring up trouble everywhere they can.

Yet there are some indications they may be gearing up for something bigger.

That’s exactly what they want to perpetrate on America. With the GOP record of turnout, they won’t have much problem in doing it.

Antifa only operates on blue territory. The population they are attacking is filled with friendlies. It’s sad that some right wingers are trapped behind enemy lines. They should flee to red states as soon as possible.

Anti forces wouldn’t last long here in SC. Cops and sheriffs would not tolerate masked terrorists running around. Behind the LEOs, there is a well regulated militia ready to protect lives and property.

They are dehumanizing the “other”, to the point that their minds are more prepared for violence than people on our side.

And when the other defends itself, they find justification
for their acts.

99.9% of Antifa may be pansies who turn and run at the first sign of effective resistance, but it only took a couple hundred guys to keep Northern Ireland in chaos for decades.

Yes, so far they have attacked people who were not prepared to fight back.

They sow the wind they will reap the whirlwind.

One can see a lot of Huff Po liberals at Yahoo.

These people are neither rational nor sane. They are brainwashed idiots on a mission for the Democratic National Fascist Committee.

Ok folks lets get realistic. 1. The vast body count of antifa are the soy boys/girls who are tough until they get hit back in the face. These pawn are used to provide cover for the more violent/lethal elements.

The issue is there herd mentality, and always traveling in packs. That further reinforces their courage. The only argument about their unwillingness to get hit in the face largely holds true for many. But the real issue is their willingness to instigate the confrontation, and being on the defensive right from the start can be troublesome; even for well-trained individuals.

2. Yes some elements are getting laughable weapons “training”. But this hides a deeper role of real trainers knowing what they are doing.

My biggest fear is the change that happened in our military, largely during the Obama administration. Issues with people like Nidal Hasan, the West Point cadet who touted Communism, and others are evidence of a possible problem within the military and where their loyalties lie is questionable at best. It wouldn't be surprising to see them gravitate towards anti-American groups once they left the service.

Don’t underestimate the enemy or laugh them off. I see serious core elements out there - obscured by the laughable punks.

True. These useful idiots are playing their part. They numb the public to their ridiculousness actions until it's too late to recognize the real danger. It also serves to hamper those that want to lawfully meet and protest/show their support in an adult-like manner.

Many issues today go back to the 45 goals of communism to bring about the demise of the United States.

“It’s sad that some right wingers are trapped behind enemy lines. They should flee to red states as soon as possible.”

Some of us don’t have that luxury. So, we’ll just make our last stand where we are, and pop over enough of the bad guys that they can never get even.

...let alone law enforcement and the U.S. military.

LE and military will ally themselves with whichever side their superiors order them to ally with. To believe they will automatically oppose the violent left is foolish at best, fatal at worst.

Careful, that kind of logic and common sense is frowned upon around here.

They are anarchists, chaos is their goal.
They are weak and fearful, hiding their identities.
They are stupid, their actions will bring great harm upon themselves.
They’ll be forgotten, and if remembered, remembered with shame.

It is beyond delusional to think that LEOs and military are mindless machines who will blindly follow the orders of a despot without question. Case in point - the failed 1991 Soviet coup. If Soviet military personnel refused orders from superiors to kill protesters and arrest Gorbachev, it’s a pipe dream to think that police and military here would do what the most violent leftists in the history of the world couldn’t even bring themselves to do.

Besides, talk to veterans. Talk to police officers. If you don’t know any, make some friends who are. Get to know them and you tell me if you can still say with a straight face that they would unquestionably obey orders from the likes of Maxine Waters, Eric Swallwell and Robert Francis O’Rourke.
