A look at the violent anarchist group Antifa

CNN ^ | Jake Tapper

[TigerClaws]

Antifa is short for anti-fascists. It was one of the groups confronting white supremacist protesters in

[marstegreg]

Call me crazy but isn’t “peace” the opposite of “violence”? It’s either one or the other. What am I missing here?

[exDemMom]

The CNN promo for it says, “Their main goal is disrupting neo-nazis and white supremacists, seeking peace through violence.”

PEACE THROUGH VIOLENCE?

Well, don't many leftists believe in utopia through mass murder? Isn't "peace through violence" just a different way to state the ultimate leftist goals?

[A_Former_Democrat]

Pigs flying. The polls must be showing BOTH SIDES were to blame

[marstegreg]

Just enough truth to make their lies more believable.

It’s like trying to make ISIS more likeable. Ain’t gonna happen (sadly, they even look the same)

I wonder if who ever approved running this will get fired.

[exDemMom]

So, Antifa attacks you with bike-locks, ball bats, and Molotov cocktails while the police stand and watch and the Media cheers them on.

I doubt I would be in that situation in the first place. Unless Antifa attacks when we visit an art fair today... as far as I know, they haven't gone after artists yet.

[agrace]

That’s excellent. Makes perfect sense.

[FreedomStar3028]

What Klan and Nazis? There aren’t any.

[Neoliberalnot]

Antifa members are the klan and Nazis.

dox antifa thugs. residence and if employed, where.

Expose the vermin to light and watch them scramble like cockroaches. With apologies to any offended cockroach.

[puppypusher]

Antifa is nothing more than Mao’s Red Guards.

China, Japan, Korea, India and virtually all of Africa are ethnostates that people vehemently defend as “theirs” to the exclusion of all others. It’s hilarious that when whites advocate this it’s termed “supremacy”.

To be clear, the Han Chinese, the Japanese, and the Koreans all DO consider their own ethnic group to be superior to others, and they DO (culturally, if not by written law) tend to treat non-group-members as "lesser". A significant percentage of India still clings to their caste system. I don't know much about African tribalism, other than they keep killing each other for being in the wrong tribe. I'm betting that "we're better than them" is a part of that system as well.

And, to be honest, I wouldn't disagree with the "white nationalist" notion that our old system is better than the modern American mess in many (most?) ways, and reforming a new nation along those lines would likely be better. It has nothing to do with skin color, it has to do with Culture... and making a system where the other (imported and urban) cultures (and their habits and mores that have been dragging America down) are not allowed to abuse and ignore our system, and cannot impose their preferences on the nation, would likely make for a more pleasant, productive, respectful, law-abiding, polite, and free nation where people (of any skin tone) were not forced to subsidize the lifestyles of others.

Sadly, we are losing the Culture War, and badly... and we will not be allowed to peacefully reform our own nation within these borders... so here we are, forever stuck being told that the conservative movement is "really" about skin and not about culture and history and character and tradition... and we are apparently mostly unable to rebut the message in the public sphere.

(Note: Those minority/urban/imported cultures certainly have more than a few white adherents Again, skin color is irrelevant. It's culture and behavior that matter.)

[gaijin]

Agree 101%, well said!

[Excellence]

So they’re “disenfranchised” just like the jihadists.

[Nicojones]

This hacker group claims the names in the attached thread are the main antifa operatives.

Lots of crazy if true.

[Fightin Whitey]

Oh no, they'd never go after an Artist

We'll all be in "that situation" sooner than you think, and it's best to prepare for it.

[exDemMom]

I just signed that petition, and a couple of others while I was at it.

I couldn’t help but notice the large number of petitions that are leftist causes.

There is, for example, a petition for the president to release all tax returns so that they can be examined for evidence that he violated the emoluments clause. I wonder if the author of that petition even understands what he is asking for? Another petition calls for President Trump to resign on the basis that he is violating the emoluments clause. Do the authors of these petitions have any clue what they are talking about? Are they even aware that the emoluments clause only applies to politicians while in office—so has only been applicable since Jan 20, 2017?

I signed a petition to deidentify college admissions applications to remove any reference to race, and to designate confederate monuments as historical monuments.

In the future, I may place my own petition.

[Little Ray]

Antifa is not ‘anarchist.’ They are paramilitary wing of the Democrat Party.
If anything, they are Totalitarians.

According to my social media junkie son, the autism brigade (or whatever they call themselves) over at 4chan are already on it.

“And what about those “Nasty Women” in pussy hats?”

You mean the ones who turn a blind eye to those who perform clitorectomies in the name of Islam, but condemn Trump because he said something totally taken out of context by the MSM and published it as truth?
