So dumb. You’re all about this little kid gang war shit aren’t you? It’s frat boy douchebags vs. adults without jobs. That’s what the whole thing is. All these losers have too much time on their hands so they are inventing battles and screaming for attention. You’re actually trying to convince people there is some important battle against nazis going on. Get fucking real. People with half a brain might agree with you, but those of us with whole brains have more important shit to worry about than frat boy douches and limp wristed men with masks. You can cry nazi all you want but most people won’t buy into that sensationalism. Unless of course they are trying to justify the actions of one side or the other.
That's about the best description for these two groups I've heard, they're both just Live Action Role Players larping as revolutionaries.
That is really funny you drew that parallel. My best friend growing up is now one of the antifa dicks in Portland. I’m pretty sure he is at all of these protests. I’ve talked about him on here before. He was actually into the LARP shit when we were in middle school. We gave him a lot of shit for it, maybe we shouldn’t have because apparently he’s doubled down on the idea. I think we just stumbled onto a pretty solid psychoanalysis.
What I don't get is how people on both sides get so radicalized to this point, too much time in echo chambers on social media?
Huh? He was just saying these dipshits are Nazis, no matter how you/they want to attempt to say they aren’t. They are racist punks. Period.
Do you know how much money the city of Portland spent on this weekend? On this supposed internet fight that doesn't exist in reality? Because reality spoke. And it's in dollars. Wake the fuck up.
Who said it was an internet fight that didn’t exist? Lol. Who are you responding to? That was completely random and wasn’t a response to anything I said.
I have no problem with these proud boyz and other white supremacists getting verbally and even violently beaten, but the frenetic nature of these confrontations means that innocent people will be hurt too. I want the law to protect everyone, even these white supremacists, But I also appreciate that some of these antifa are willing to put their liberty and health in jeopardy fighting against these nazi fucks. I don't condone, but I also wouldn't turn antifa in unless they attacked or hurt an innocent bystander. But punch a nazi, fine by me. hit them with a lead pipe or worse, much worse, fine by me as long as the violence is correctly directed and contained to these nazi fucks.
It never is though, that’s the thing. It’s complete chaos. The people getting hurt are always bystanders. Antifa basically run around throwing windmill punches as far as I can tell. They don’t discriminate, I will give them that. Anyone and everyone can catch a punch or a pipe to the head as far as they care. They are violent pricks, they are not out risking their neck for anyone besides themselves and their egos.
Serious answer: yes Serious question: Does it feel weird to even slightly come across as defending Nazis?
Antifa is by definition anti-fascists. Saying there is anything wrong about this is an insult to all the patriots that have given their life in World War 2 and since fighting fascist regimes. Clearly violence for violence sake is not something anyone should want or hope for - and it is clear that there are cases where innocents are hurt - but the same (innocent bystanders get hurt) could be said during world war 2 when fascist regimes were defeated - so saying that both sides are just as bad is hypocrisy at best imho. History has shown us that fascists need to be opposed. Plain and simple.
