    The point is that antifa isn't a political group. They aren't organized and thus there's no message coming from them beyond being against fascism. They seem fine with violence, which we as a society (rightfully, in my opinion) are against. I know I'm coming off as in their corner, but that's not my position, honestly. I hate destructive tactics. But this boogieman thing drives me up the wall (especially since we have an actual villain in office).

    At this point, call them whatever, but when things die down there will still be the handful of people that are antifa doxing nazis and whatnot but all those other folks will be long gone.

    Fwiw Im not anti-antifa (lol) weird concatenation of acronyms. I am totally burned out with whats going on and the violence, and the just constant Barrage of someone got shot, another business burned, all that. I mean we can call it whatever and Im even totally in favor of protesting but man this year sucks and I think most people are just kinda in a similar state of ‘doneness’...

    I saw Iron Man 1 and 2 and slept through the 1st avengers movie with a couple friends. Somewhere around 2010ish I felt like all the action super hero movies for me, just started to feel the same.

    This year has been so so draining. I just had to leave the coast suddenly this morning because of the smoke from nearby fires, and the kids are like, of course and helped pack the car. They don't even question things anymore, lol. Madness.

    There! There's proof of ANTIFA. Your photo is a typical card carrying member. They do carry membership cards, don't they? No, how do you identify them, through police mug shots?

    Also, Andy Ngo is famous for passing himself off as something he is not, a reporter.

    It's possible that they've (conveniently) decided they don't want to be on the board anymore. you know, the biased mods, HCP being a jerk, and it's easier to have it out of sight out of mind than it is to admit you were 100% wrong about a candidate and regret your vote.

    Really no... Some people who say they are antifa do dumb stuff, including engaging in violence.

    They aren't affiliated with anybody.

    It's not easy to admit you were wrong. I know this all too well.
    It takes a strong adult to admit when they realize they've been wrong. Let's hope said folks are on the path to realization and have the strength to admit it. I'm not going to point any fingers but Sly does come to mind.

    The funny thing is, and I'm not saying all people have to agree with one side or another, it's not difficult for people to just say "you know, I was wrong about this".

    I was wrong in thinking John McCain would be a bad president. Palin on the other hand...

    but the kicker is to move on and grow from it. If you are unable to see that you've done/said something wrong and don't make the effort to genuinely change (i.e., you are shown empirical data and you still remain steadfast in your belief of some "fact" ) others won't want to engage in conversations with you.

    Basically, me from age 13-26.

    Basically me from the age of 2-65 some, with justification, say even beyond 65. Yeah, I've been called every name in the book, mostly by my wife, my mother, my grandmother, my priest and my shrink, almost forgot my boss.

    That's criticism from the left. Doesn't help your cause from the right. But maybe creating confusion will: Shift the issue from killing black guys, to whether a mayor a thousand miles away should be changed.
