Well, thank goodness almost no one reads the Daily Beast. There will probably be more people reading this thread than the article at the actual site.

Question authority, including theirs.

The issue isn’t the very few Nazis, KKK, or ultra-right nationalists in the U.S. The core issue is that all of WHITE America, with all of its incredible achievements, has been under constant assault for at least one generation and NOBODY speaks up to defend what white people have accomplished. White people are now so cowed that they won’t even defend themselves against these horrible onslaughts (similar to how the US won’t defend itself against the moslem horde assaulting us today).

After 8 years of Obama racism and division, plus the coming years of this ginned up communist-led “antifa” horse crap, people are finally waking up to the fact that whites have a lot of enemies that want them dead. It’s long past time for white people to speak up proudly about their centuries of accomplishments (such as Western Civilization) and put these destroyers in their place. Do NOT let our enemies make the preposterous and farcical claim that all whites are virulent racists and that only only black and brown people are deserving of life in the US.

Because it helps illustrate that Nazi’s are leftist/socialists too, and have NOTHING to do with the “right”.

Don’t be silly. Lefties are the greatest set of mass murders in recorded history. Even excluding the Nazis. Commies murdered upwards of 100 million people and enslaved many more tens of millions. Leftists need to he stamped out wherever they are found.

Again, the false claim that Nazis are/were on the right.

They were definitely leftists. They described themselves as leftists, and often converted communists to Nazis.

Calling Nazis “far right” is a ruse to give the false choice of National Socialists vs. International Socialists.

Limited government is not spoken of.

Any article that refuses to investigate the funding and background of both groups of protestors is totally useless.

Much more to the Antifa story. The thugs are being paid, the police are being ordered to stand down, and there are people on the ground directing the violence. It is a conspiracy to violate and intimidate the peaceful protesters who are definitely not nazis. The FBI should arrest the thugs who assault protesters since they are violating their civil rights, arrest the on site police commander who prevents his officers from making arrests even when felonies are being committed in their presence, and eventually arrest those who pay the thugs and gave the orders to the police to stand down.If Sessions simply enforces civil rights laws, Antifa and their sponsors will go to jail.

This has little if anything to do with a relative handful of neo-Nazi and KKK jerks, and 99.99% to do with a communist revolution.

For all you’d want to know about today’s revolutionary communist/anarchist protest groups and then-some, check out my FR Home page, at:

Even if the Antifa people read this they wouldn’t pay attention. They are deranged.

The presidency of Donald Trump has been a chaotic fiasco by any reasonable metric, and the instability of the commander-in-chief has made us all a bit edgier than usual.


OK, that part made me laugh. :-)

It bears repeating that unlike neo-Nazis, neo-antifa haven’t killed anyone, and according to a study by Alex Nowrasteh of the Cato Institute, the levels of deadly violence committed by the far-right dwarfs their left-wing counterparts by a factor of 10 over the past 25 years.

This statement is only true in La-La-Land where people believe that Neo-Nazis are a part of the "far-right".

But in REALITY, right here in Realsville, U.S.A., both of these groups, the Neo-Nazis and the Anti-First Amendment Fascists called antifa, are rival siblings in the alt-left family composed of the incredibly stupid and the easily manipulated!!

The writer chooses to ignore the neo-Nazi essence of Antifa, taking their pretenses at face value. He further ignores the actual issue that drew both groups to Jefferson country; where Antifa was there to defend the trashing of Virginia's libertarian heritage.

The Nazis--the original variety--were all for a monolithic new order; all for enforced uniformity of thought; the absolute opposite of Jeffersonian values; the opposite of the Jeffersonian freedom to think for oneself, so important in the founding of the University of Virginia; the freedom of each to pursue happiness according to his or her own lights.

Antifa--as George Soros--represents a Compulsion For Uniformity; an in that compulsion driven pursuit, adopts the thuggery that won the streets of German cities, before the Nazis behind that thuggery came to power.

Also note the absurdity of the Cato claim. Antifa did not exist over 96% of the last 25 years. It is a new movement. If all rival groups--assuming for the sake of argument that there were rival groups, active over the past 25 years--they should, even if only equivalently evil, have outnumbered Antifa in incidents by at least 25 fold.

But, of course, the reality is that the Brownshirt "want-to-bes" in Antifa, are the nearest thing to the originals that we have seen on this scale in America in generations.

The number of “Nazis” in the world is vanishingly small. (No, leftists, pro-Confederates are not Nazis. Neither are Trump supporters. Phooey, anyway!)

Meanwhile, on the alt-left, AntiFa side:

These miscreants have revealed their ugly, anti-American face, for the whole world to see!!!!
