Yeah, sure. Why not. Their only agenda is to cause damage, so fuck em. I don’t care if they go to the county jail, Gauntanomo, or the moon. As long as they just go away. Same for several other “activist” groups out there...KKK included. These groups do nothing but cause division and harm to average Americans that just want to live peacefully and be left the fuck alone.
So do you believe there is any circumstance that merits assembly and protest? Peace is a relative concept and no one's agenda is just to cause damage.
I really really wish you guys knew the reality of old Georgie. You'd be so seriously disappointed.
Never attended a protest of any sort in my life. Sure there’s plenty of circumstances that merit peaceful protest. Those turds however, are anything but peaceful.
I think you should definitely attend a protest, at least as a spectator. They can be exciting sometimes, but mostly dull and mundane, but they're part of American life, no less than publishing a newspaper, firing a gun or eating a 7000 calorie meal. Antifa generally just roams through the streets looking not at all menacing (because they're mostly kids), but doing little at the few protests I've seen them at. There are definitely some lunatics drawn to their odd quasi movement though, just as there are people who brawl at UFCs or get stupid at soccer games. I don't have much use for them, but to call them terrorists when you've never even seen them in person and are mostly seeing media hot takes is a bit much. Throwing the word terrorist around lumps people in with actual murderers and justifies taking away their rights freedoms under our current laws. Then again, those psychos who dumped the tea in the Boston harbor were called terrorists once upon a time, as was that nutcase who raided Harper's Ferry.
I am not U guys...the moment you stereo type you are showing that you have been played to divide and conquer
He's mostly a bumbling clown when it comes to his philanthropic ventures and quasi-political activity. He doesn't make funding decisions, but his kids and other family members do have a lot of pet projects that they're into that they mostly hear about randomly on the internet or at dinner parties. His staff is largely overworked and people rotate in and out of there on a regular basis. There's still a lot of money in the pot so they throw it around through a blind bidding process where initiatives can get funded, but at least half fall into those pet project categories. At this point, I've known a handful of people who worked for the company and I know even more who get funded from them. George is old not as involved if he ever was. I think it's hilarious how often his name is invoked as this weird left boogeyman because his money and his organization (Open Society) is so scattered. If people want to form conspiracies, they should be looking at Bezos.
One thing I do think the right could be better at is protesting.
A deadlier history than communism? I'll ask some of my Khmer friends about it.
Antifa doesn't have any connection to communism or socialist party politics. There are anarchists, communists, democrats and probably even some apolitical people in the group. Their ideology is broadly anti-XXX. That's why I have little use for them.
My wife has attended several protests (Right to Life, special needs) but it’s just not my thing. I feel like they bring the worst out of people (gang mentality), which is the opposite of what they’re supposedly trying to accomplish.
It seems to me that their most direction connection is to fascism. Silence dissenting voices and crush alternative perspectives, by force if necessary. Only respect the rights of those who fall under the purview of their particular brand of groupthink.
I feel the same. I get bored at them mostly, but they're worth seeing. It's usually a young crowd, certainly younger than us, and their enthusiasm to at least do something is admirable if a little tedious after awhile.
Yeah, this is the dark side, I think.
That's not really what fascism means or what groupthink means.
thank you for the response
I could watch him slap the table 100 times & laugh 100 times
the man can act...that is fact
The msm in the u.s. has an undeniable left-wing bias.
In the aftermath of that one 17 year-old kid who was shot when he was beating some dude up, Obama commented something to the effect of He could have been my son.
I'm neither a Trump supporter nor detractor, AND I don't follow u.s. politics that much. But I wonder, his bullshit rhetoric aside, what policies the guy has enacted to warrant that description.
I can people watch at the mall
If these people could somehow accomplish exactly that then they probably would. I have little doubt that many of them would be more than happy to topple American democracy if they could and establish a new authoritarian regime in its place.
I take a lot of issue with white nationalists because I think their philosophy is thoroughly un-American.
I think he is a plant to discredit lots of legit conspiracies, and I hate that part of him....but I do enjoy his act/actingI could watch him slap the table 100 times & laugh 100 times
