[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anti FA should be declared a terrorist group. They foment and commit violence and vandalism. They di horrible things in Portland, OR and nothing was donee about it. They are disgusting people. [/quote]

Please name the leader of Antifa. Until you can, stop suggesting it is an organization that can be labeled a terrorist group.

Also, why do you like fascists? Antifa means “anti-fascist.” My grandfather stormed the beach at Normandy. He was Antifa.

Why do you hate America and its core values?[/quote]

1) America's core values are based on the Enlightenment: freedom of speech; freedom of religion; equality before the law - Antifa directly assaults freedom of speech, and they sure aren't being treated the same way as most Americans who throw bricks through windows and burn police cars
2) You are totally naive if you don't think there is organization behind Antifa "protests"; yes, there is social media organizing; yes, there is funding; yes, there is training on tactics
3) you need to read some history to understand what fascism actually is.  Just because someone calls themselves "Anti-fascist" doesn't mean that they aren't using fascist tactics.  Yes, surrounding and threatening violence to silence speakers is fascist; saying that you will "Burn it Down" if you don't get what you want is fascist (so is actually burning it down!); threatening diners and business owners if they don't use certain words or gestures in support of your movement is fascist; suppressing the speech of political opponents by the press and corporations is fascist; creating ideological purity tests to have access to banking or legal services is fascist, and on and on...

Just like North Korea calls itself "the Democratic People's Republic of Korea" when there is no democracy, "Antifa" calls itself "Anti" when all they really are is modern-day brownshirts.   [/quote]
