Anti-fascist activists, or “antifa,” increasingly mobilized in the wake of President Trump’s election, are unapologetic about what they describe as the necessary use of violence to combat authoritarianism.
While both experts on the movement and activists within it emphasize that not everyone who participates in anti-fascist activism engages in violence, they say the use of force is intrinsic to their political philosophy.
“The justification [of the use of violence] is that Nazi ideology at its very core is founded on violence and on wielding power by any means,” said Mike Isaacson, who is one of the founders of Smash Racism D.C., an antifa organization in Washington.
Isaacson is unequivocal in his defense of violence as a legitimate tool to combat the creeping threat of what he deems authoritarianism.

If I had a trust fund like these fools I would be spending my days traveling.
ReplyDeleteI hope they feel that way when they get STOMPED.
ReplyDeleteand like the Milwaukee sheriff said, when they bring the violence they need their ass kicked.
ReplyDeleteSerious question. How did this clown ever get to be a teacher? Maybe Art class but he comes across as a scatterbrain to me. His personal appearance and manner of speech look and sound more like a pot smoker/dealer than an instructor of any serious topic.
ReplyDeleteA book should not be judged by its cover but I just find it hard to take that guy seriously.
They are the real Nazi's and the trouble makers but the Left Wing Nuts and the Media make dumb asses, especially RINO's and weak, soft hearted Republicans think that whites a White Supremacists, White Nationalists, Neo Nazi's, KKK and Nazi's.
ReplyDeleteWeak minded Republicans suddenly jump on sides with Libtards and start the "Down with White Supremacy mantra. IDIOTS
It's these Soros-paid lunatics that incite violence and should be behind bars when they do. It's against the law. But we know liberals hate our Constitution and rule of law and ignore it every chance they get.
ReplyDeleteWhatever!Needs to stop. We need to focus on North Korea and believe it or not China. China wants to rule the world but depends on US to fight their battles if they should arrive.
ReplyDeleteWhy because the left is constantly drumming hate in their heads. I dare one of these protesters to voice a coherent statement of what they are fighting for. The left created this mess. We can only hope that this anarchy is not permitted to continue. Charge and arrest them.

NK is being watched by several countries. China doesn't need anyone to fight their battles. With a population of 1.3 billion to draw from, more than four times as much as the population of the US, China has over 2.3 million in active service, with an additional 1.1 million as reserves and military police. The People's Liberation Army (PLA) has actually shrunk from its estimated 1992 level of more than 3 million in active service.
The US military has about 1.4 million active service members, which represents a much lower total number of personnel, but a much higher percentage of the population engaged in the military.
Also important to consider is that China's last war was a short fight against Vietnam in 1979. The Chinese have not been in a sustained conflict since the Korean war that ended in 1953.
This group says it is going to poison the water at Civil War reenactments to stop these celebrations of the war to keep men in chains.

ReplyDeleteNo smarter than they are, they would wind up drinking their own poison.
Try that here and some good ole boys will stomp your azz. You want violence, you'll get it. We will not just stand by and let the police take care of it. We will wade into you like stomping roaches.
