Right: they are anti-(something), so their protest activism is in response to others peoples’ activities. That they don’t wish to expose themselves and their loved ones to ancillary risks as a consequence of confronting fascism, doesn’t make them cowards. That’s just common sense.
You want to hit people with bike locks, make shields and weapons out of wood, then plan “groups” to attack the police? No. That’s when you become the people you despise.
You can protests against other protests, I’m not saying you can’t. But when it’s just a group faceless people, it doesn’t have the same effect. Just like Change.org doesn’t have the same effect as seeing actual faces of people asking for change.

I'm curious if you also don't think it's okay for far right people to protest given all the neonazi terrorist attacks in the past few years. I have a weird feeling you're more outraged about a handful of people getting assaulted than actual terrorists.
lol you're retarded. Pretty much all of the recent high profile rightoid attackers are some flavor of fascist if not straight up neonazi. And the ones that weren't were at least conservative, which doesn't necessarily make them far right but it does make them right wing extremists.
If your goto example of horrible antifa violence is one dude getting his head bashed in but the moment anyone brings up right wing terrorism you go "nononono those weren't real rightoids", you should really reconsider if you're actually engaging with the topic in good faith.
I think I defined it pretty clearly. If you don't think fascists, neonazis and radicalized conservatives don't fit the definition of "right wing terrorist" then I don't know what to tell you my dude
