That was a definitive and accurate way of describing most of the counter-protesters in the group. I will say, though, that being anti-conservative or anti-men's rights isn't going to be what makes someone turn the corner to the more extreme positions we see with antifa. That is more of a result of extremists v. extremists.

Pretty much. But, I think because it seems as if SOME violent protests are seen as okay or even laudable, that's emboldened others to be violent and of course, violence just begets more violence and you see where we are today.

Not necessarily, but don't call yourself an anti-facist while doing the very thing a facist would be doing! Besides I don't think this would be the first time a group of facists opposed other facists.
