Over the past few weeks a number of things have been revealed about Antifa groups, people that use fascist methods to suppress any opinion or speech that does not conform to their own ideology, yet call themselves “anti-fascist.”
After the tragic events in Charlottesville, VA, Antifa massively overplayed their hand in a subsequent event in Berkeley California, where viral images finally exposed what the MSM had been trying to hide, that so-called Antifa groups were inciting violence with planned events, then dressing up in black, with masks, carrying sticks, clubs and mace, and proceeded to instigate violence against peaceful rally attendees.
Some think those viral images made it impossible for the terrorist supporting mainstream media to cover for them any longer. Not only did the headlines start blaring out how violent these groups were, but even Democratic politicians like Nancy Pelosi started calling out Antifa by name while calling for their arrest and prosecution.
Others might question the timing of the MSM and Pelosi finally acknowledging Antifa’s violent antics, since Independent Media, using images and video proof, had been showing Antifa’s terrorist activities for over 18 months. The MSM’s finally reporting the truth of Antifa violence and thuggery came directly before a Politico report exposed the fact that the FBI and Department of Homeland Security had formally classified Antifa’s activities as “domestic terrorist violence,” in a a confidential 2016 joint intelligence assessment by DHS and the FBI.
So, Democratic politicians and liberal MSM outlets, who had been justifying, excusing and inciting Antifa groups for years, saw that the public was going to be made aware that the government had classified Antifa activity, since at least 2016, as terrorist activity, and all of a sudden one violent protest out of dozens that have occurred over the past years, suddenly woke them up?
Or were they simply scared that the general populace was going to finally see them all as terrorists supporters, so they bailed to save their own skin?
You decide.
THE TIDE TURNED AGAINST ANTIFA AND NOW THEY ARE CLAIMING ‘VICTIMHOOD’
Ever since President Trump called Antifa out by name, and the MSM finally deigned to report on their violence and liberal politicians jumped ship, now Antifa groups, such as Refuse Fascism, are claiming victimhood, calling it all “shameful, dangerous, wrong attacks on Antifa.”
In their first paragraph they highlight the FBI, DHS report, President Trump calling them out, Pelosis words and the mayor of Berkeley wanting to classify Antifa as a gang, and they claim “In reality, Antifa and others played a courageous role in defending people against the brutal violence threatened and inflicted by fascists.”
Really?
Well, here is video proof, made before their latest antics in Portland which led to multiple Antifa members being arrested, of 18 months of their so-called “defending people against brutal violence.”

Because the Orthodox Jew is obviously a Nazi.
So... A normal day there then, Huh?
Leftis supremacism explained: I am gay, so being gay is the best, be proud of the gay cult. I am a traitor, so being a traitor is a good thing, be proud to be a traitor or a nasty woman. I do drugs and smoke pot, so I am of a much higher intellect than those snobbing it.
If 50 pieces of silver and profit were a crime, the narcissistic supremacist left would long be burned at the stake for all manners of its behaving in conflict of interest with his or her own deepening nihilism and nothingness.
Good. Let them be who they are to the delight of all commies everywhere....
Good job, folks!

I’m not concerned about statues in general, but feminists at UVA called Thomas Jefferson a “rapist” and a “racist.”
Baltimore to keep, clean defaced Francis Scott Key statue - Baltimore Sun

A vandal in Baltimore tagged Francis Scott Key as a “racist.”
It’s about the ignorance and misbehavior taught by too many instructors with personal problems in universities.
Anti-NAZIs Stop Jewish Man From speaking....
in other news, Man Bites Dog...
DemocRATS plan violence....
It was a pretty sweet deal for a while - antifa got to run wild with the media as wingmen, calling every hint of opposition White Supremacy. You’d have to be pretty stupid and violent to blow that one, and they were, and they did.
Therefore, the best course of action is to disrepect Antifa, to incite them to do their worst.
There is no meaningful difference between the nazis and Antifa. Both are fascist groups and stand against the United States.
Would be good to focus on those promoting these idiots.
Group covers their faces to prevent identification, carries clubs, sticks, bats. Beats up people they don’t like. Attacks Jews.
Antifa or KKK?

I’ve had a Hayek quote on my FR profile page for more than a decade that shows this has been a known thing for quite a long time:
Although our modern socialists’ promise of greater freedom is genuine and sincere, in recent years observer after observer has been impressed by the unforeseen consequences of socialism, the extraordinary similarity in many respects of the conditions under “communism” and “fascism.” As the writer Peter Drucker expressed it in 1939, “the complete collapse of the belief in the attainability of freedom and equality through Marxism has forced Russia to travel the same road toward a totalitarian society of un-freedom and inequality which Germany has been following. Not that communism and fascism are essentially the same. Fascism is the stage reached after communism has proved an illusion, and it has proved as much an illusion in Russia as in pre-Hitler Germany.”
No less significant is the intellectual outlook of the rank and file in the communist and fascist movements in Germany before 1933. The relative ease with which a young communist could be converted into a Nazi or vice versa was well known, best of all to the propagandists of the two parties. The communists and Nazis clashed more frequently with each other than with other parties simply because they competed for the same type of mind and reserved for each other the hatred of the heretic. Their practice showed how closely they are related. To both, the real enemy, the man with whom they had nothing in common, was the liberal of the old type. While to the Nazi the communist and to the communist the Nazi, and to both the socialist, are potential recruits made of the right timber, they both know that there can be no compromise between them and those who really believe in individual freedom.
— F.A. Hayek, The Road to Serfdom, 1944
Our modern Left stopped being liberal in the classical sense a long time ago. It is the conservative who really believes in individual freedom, in current/modern terminology.
It’s just the militant left trying to freeze freedom of speech and debate yet again....It’s just the age of ‘Alinsky-ism’ raising it’s ugly head again.....repeat and wash.
The public schools must be spending a lot on substitute teachers.
I wonder how much $$$ is spent on “sick days” for these teachers and professors, who are the Antifa, taking days upon days away from their work for their terrorist activities? Taxpayers should be furious.
I would hope that anyone engaging in self-defense or the defense of other innocents against these terrorists will be cautious about prosecution risks. The local government is corrupt and on the side of pure evil. Any anti-Antifa sniping should be done from concealment, from a long distance, or otherwise from outside the area where Antifa-sympathetic videos will be recorded and selectively released to show only what freedom’s enemies want people to see.
PC came first. It creates a fear of certain banned thoughts and operates at the level of the individual. ANTIFA is the follow up, for people who have rejected the emanations of the PC blob and must be dealt with violently.
