That smells of a bad-faith, tricksy question. Yes, "it's" deep seated
if by "it's" you meant "the phrase is". No, it's not deep seated if by "it's" you mean "tolerance for Antifa".
Well judging by those arrested....yes.
Seriously? You really know the political affiliation of those arrested? How?
There's lots of registered Democrats, children of Democrats, and I recall in one case of Antifa who assualted some marine veterans randomly on the street having direct ties to Democratic campaigns.
"Lots" of Democrats (I take it that you lump all Democrats into "the Left") - how many? Or, to gauge more accurately, what percentage of those arrested are Democrats or children of Democrats (which seems a stretch)?
Oh wow, one particular case, that should cinch it!
Well, the guy has ties! If that doesn't make the entire non-organization leftist, what ever could? It appears that after Alcoff was arrested for Antifa activities, they backed away from him and he lost his job. Is this your example of deep seated tolerance? From your FoxNews link just above:
Democrats are hardly eager to be associated with Alcoff now. Most spokespersons for Democratic members of Congress did not respond to inquiries from Fox News, or distanced themselves from Alcoff.
Well let's start off with what fascists do....
The future SA developed by organizing and formalizing the groups of ex-soldiers and beer-hall brawlers who were to protect gatherings of the Nazi Party from disruptions from Social Democrats (SPD) and Communists (KPD), and to disrupt meetings of the other political parties.
That sounds far more like the Proud Boys and other right-wing paramilitary organizations than it does Antifa.
A prosecutor says Proud Boys leaders charged with plotting to use violence to keep Donald Trump in power saw the far-right extremist group as the former president's “army.”
So fascists use people to beat up political opponents and silence them.
I don't need to point out that Antifa does the same thing right?
Fascists are violent; Antifa is violent, therefore Antifa==fascists? Naw. As far as I can tell, Antifa does not "use people" to beat up political opponents and silence them, they themselves
are the people on the ground who use violence to oppose other violent factions.
This is part of the problem with the extremist left. They read the label but don't look in the box.
Wait, are you saying that Antifa doesn't look in the box? Antifa is supposedly the "extremist left" that the mainstream left has a blind spot and tolerance for.
Antifa= left wing fascists.
No, Antifa is violent, no doubt, but they are not nationalistic, militaristic, authoritarian or leader-driven. Cute try at a reversal, but it doesn't work if you look in the box.
Inclusive = we want to racially exclude people. And so on...
Polemics.
Do MAGA extremists, as Bobert likes to label herself, Ultra MAGA, exist? I've seen people on this board deny it.
