• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

This is a very short thread yet you're the third person who doesn't bother to read preceding posts before posting. Strange.
I've read the whole thread.
You can wonder all you want but if you want to deny what was reported I'd like to hear some evidence.
The burden of proof is on the author of the article. He made lots of assertions without backing them up.

Maybe in the future you can choose higher quality journalism to share with the class.

The video shows how proof that the country has a mental health problem, not a gun problem. These are the same people who will shoot up a Catholic school attending Mass in Minnesota.
And what are we doing about the “mental health problem”?

(This could a fun rabbit-hole!)

There’s no reason to “fight against” right-wing propaganda; the proper way to “fight against” (any) propaganda is to actively ignore it.

I've read the whole thread.

So who are the people dressed up as antifa?

Does Antifa have an official uniform? Is this specified in their Articles of Organisation?
You can't answer a question. None of you can. I'll stop wasting my time.

No.

They have no Articles as far as anyone outside antifa is aware.
Your questions contain questionable assumptions that first need to be clarified.
My question contained no assumptions, but I've answered your questions anyway even though they're irrelevant.
Good luck with that!
You guys have suggested some kind of conspiracy theory. Why is like pulling teeth to get you to say what the theory is?

If there is no official uniform, then your claim that they were "dressed like Antifa" makes no sense.

See above.
Figure skaters don't have an official uniform, but they dress in a certain style.

[Thing happens]
[Report by right-wing media suggests ANTIFA is behind it all]
[We learn about this via the OP]

Some of us are skeptical about ANTIFA’s involvement, which you’ve taken to mean they we have some sort of theory that we’re working with to dissuade the readers from the OP’s premise.

We’re (all) allowed to be ignorant of the basis for the [thing that happened].
We’re allowed to speculate about what [happened] but without further reporting, we’re not to get anywhere nearer “the truth” whilst we bugtussel and bloviate.

Please enjoy your day.

Well just tell me why you're skeptical, without just saying "muh right wing!".

Where else has this thing that definitely happened been reported with ANTIFA being mentioned.
Some local yelling about ANTIFA don’t cut no bait.

etc.

As I indicated in the OP, there are other versions of the video, some longer, where everyone's chanting about antifa, but I didn't want to push my luck with CF by having the f-word used repeatedly and more clearly.
