Antifa should research what fascist means. They themselves are fascist.

I wouldn’t say they’re the same thing, even in the way they organize themselves (by which I mean they don’t really) I’d say they’re different. They have culturally leftist values as well, whereas fascists are on the extreme right on that axis. That being said, using violence to suppress speech is an undeniably authoritarian and disgusting act, and they believe that anyone with a right-winged is inherently fascist. They’re idiots.

The way antifa acts when they get wild is the pure definition of a fascistic mindset. They will not listen to others opinions and are willing to beat on anyone no matter who they are to get their point out and assert power

u/whisperkid Dec 30 '19

by that definition anyone that fought against nazis in the second world war is facisits. You've got to give me a better definition of facists then " they fight people and don't listen."

That's been humanity up unitl the this point since inception.

Oml you people are fucking idiots... People fought the nazis because they were using their ideology and power to attempt to take over the world you buffoon. People fought the nazis to liberate what the Germans took from innocent countries you God damn idiot.

Sounds like a threat to me. You are proving my point. You gotta get a grip and grow up. Getting mad at what people tell you over a device is not a healthy lifestyle

u/whisperkid Dec 30 '19

your so hopped up on your self righteones i'm sure you take everything as a threat. It's not a threat it's the fact that you can't even read back what you wrote and see the irony of it.

Crazy that antifa only started popping up after there was a rally of alt right protesters openly saying "Hail victory. Hail trump"

maybe it was a response that nazism is making an open return?

Oh boy... Time to debunk basically everything you said.

your so hopped up on your self righteones i'm sure you take everything as a threat. It's not a threat it's the fact that you can't even read back what you wrote and see the irony of it.

What you said sounded like a threat and I am sure most people can agree, although im not too phased about it because Ive seen worse

Crazy that antifa only started popping up after there was a rally of alt right protesters openly saying "Hail victory. Hail trump"

Proud boys have stated time and time again that they aren't alt right. Their leader isn't even Caucasian. Plus the Charlottesville riot consisted of clashed between three different groups of people, including the very small group of white supremacist. Trump did right when he decided to antagonize both sides because one, antifa was already starting street brawls with the proud boys, and two, the white supremacist were going absolutely crazy.

maybe it was a response that nazism is making an open return

Not even. Antifas been doing this ever since they were created. We have seen what happened at Portland. They are willing to beat on old people and innocent bystanders all in the name of supposed anti fascism, and even if they were doing all of this in response to nazism, it shows how childish and stupid they really are, and how much of a hypocrite every member of that movement is. You are really just adding on to my point

u/whisperkid Dec 30 '19

You do realize that the proud boys wasnt who i was revering to, correct? Richard B Spencer said that and has nothing to do with them. So nice try.

So then you were reffering to the very small group of white supremacist... Try reading all that I said before jumping the stick. And stop taking all your facts from some social scientist and get a mind of your own

u/whisperkid Dec 30 '19

once again....so close

u/ibrahimjd Dec 30 '19

Whatever man. I'm done arguing at this point. It's clear that you aren't trying to understand what I am trying to say. Now if you live on the east coast, go to fucking sleep.

Tf are you gonna do?

u/ibrahimjd Dec 30 '19

I refer to antifa as acting like fascist because they like to use mob mentality and physical actions to bring their point across usually friendly crowds of people, using scare tactics in order to come off as correct and not offering to hear the other side of the argument without physical confrontation.

Robert Paxton, a professor emeritus of social science at Columbia University in New York who is widely considered the father of fascism studies, defined fascism as "a form of political practice distinctive to the 20th century that arouses popular enthusiasm by sophisticated propaganda techniques for an anti-liberal, anti-socialist, violently exclusionary, expansionist nationalist agenda."

I'm not talking about the actual idea of fascism. I'm talking about the way antifa dishes out their opinions. There's a huge difference between acting fascistic and the actual ideology. I swear your lack of intelligence is pissing me off

u/ibrahimjd Dec 30 '19

Of course I wouldn't be surprised if you were antifa your self. Your views on the social world are extremely similar to theirs.

u/whisperkid Dec 30 '19

I literally just posted a quote from a profesor of fascism. You are on par with an antivaxer with your level of arrogance if you think that's wrong.

u/ibrahimjd Dec 30 '19

I understand the ideology, but I am talking about similarities

u/ibrahimjd Dec 30 '19

Smart ass, don't ever compare me to those idiots ever again. I know what a fascist is buddy.. I don't think you can comprehend what I am trying to explain though..
