You aren't not something just because you claim not to be either.
Allies and Axis during WWII engaged in the same abhorrent acts, just using different justifications.
So you're equating Antifa with the Allies in WW2? Or is this your clever way of trying to make that comparison ina deniable way?
Quote:One may condemn some of Antifa's actions without equating them them the KKK, I think.
I've never equated them to the KKK or Nazis. I've equated them to what they are, thugs who use violence against people who's political views they disapprove of.
Quote:They don't seem to respond with violence to just anyone who disagrees them.
Tell the guy who got hit in the head with a bike lock for no reason. As much as he's a troll, Milo is no KKK member or Nazi. So yeah, they absolutely do seem to use violence on people they disagree with.
Quote:Both Nazis and Antifa use violence against people they don't like. Nazis don't like people because of their race and Antifa don't like people who don't like people because of their race.
Yet another exculpatory simplification couched to cast Antifa in a positive light. Try as you might you and GMDino just can't stop yourself from trying to excuse the violence coming from left leaning groups. Say it with me, violence is not an acceptable response to speech, even really vile speech. I'm not sure why this concept is difficult to grasp.
