Department of Homeland Security had this to say: In June 2020, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) tweeted in reply to a Politico article about ...

Are you aware that there are pro-BLM boogaloos? There are left-wing boogaloos too, the only thing the organization has as a binding principle is that ...

Yes, I refer to all non-Trumpers as communists. It's just part of my programming as a non-liberal. Ya got me. But hey, who would have known that in th...
September 25, 2020 at 18:31
So where are the organizations behind this? Lets go after them. Nobody likes right wing terrorism, but other attacks happen and we just don't call the...

I don't believe antifa as a group goes out of its way to target journalists, but this partially just due to the fact that there is no "antifa as a gro...

I feel like you might be a bit confused here. There are only two ways anyone wins a game of chess: 1) Checkmate or 2) Resignation. A stalemate occurs ...

Chess player here so I gotta jump in. If you're playing against yourself and one side wins then you're both the winner and the loser. You can think of...

They use to be Operation Coldfront. If you look through their youtube archives they're actually doing journalism/reporting and they report antifa assa...

It's interesting to think about. I don't think such a service is possible, and I think the closest thing you're going to get to relieving psychologica...
September 22, 2020 at 15:27
You said that it was criminal which is not the same thing as saying that it was wrong. Do you think it was wrong and that it shouldn't have happened? ...
September 22, 2020 at 13:21
Yeah the protests are not a problem. I didn't mean it to appear that I thought the protests were a problem. I believe antifa is both an ideology and a...

You really need to work on your reading comprehension.
September 21, 2020 at 17:08
The answer is multi-variable and complicated. I just can't give a simple, easy answer. I think this is an important discussion to have, but is a sligh...
September 21, 2020 at 15:58
I hate to say it but probably because they commit a disproportionate amount of the crimes and in turn have a disproportionate amount of contact with t...
September 21, 2020 at 15:53
The bigger picture here is that there were 14 unarmed black people killed by June of 2019. The article mentioned this was 63% lower than the number in...
September 21, 2020 at 15:48
How do you get by being so angry all the time? Must be hard.
September 21, 2020 at 15:44
You realize there's a ton of dead white people you haven't heard of? There's also a ton of dead indigenous people you haven't heard of. Nobody cares u...
September 21, 2020 at 15:36
Does 14 shooting deaths of unarmed black in late June of 2019 constitute an epidemic? If there were 4 white men and 3 black men shot in the entirety o...
September 21, 2020 at 15:32
The Heather MacDonald article? Where? You realize her thesis is that there's no epidemic of shootings of unarmed black people?
September 21, 2020 at 15:15
You gotta cite your sources man because that's not what mine are telling me.
September 21, 2020 at 14:57
It's nearly impossible if not outright impossible to find stats on this. You've got some work to do if you're going to make this case. Jesus christ yo...
September 21, 2020 at 14:05
No, I found it strange how you only mentioned black people being killed by police on numerous occasions despite more white people being killed by cops...
September 21, 2020 at 13:03
I don't think there's an easy answer to this one. Even people with a shared, common, lifelong experience can view the issue quite differently. I think...
September 21, 2020 at 12:55
True, you never know for sure. We've seen protests and lootings and burnings across the country and only some the perpetrators have been identified as...
September 20, 2020 at 21:18
All I really want to know is whether you support the assault on Andy Ngo. Of course rolling stones isn't going to like a conservative reporter/journal...
September 20, 2020 at 20:53
I don't care as much about an organization's stated, ideological goals as I care about their actual actions. We've seen journalists assaulted, busines...
September 20, 2020 at 17:03
I don't know Kenosha, can you look at someone and determine if they're a racist? If someone is actively racist then of course we should get rid of the...
September 20, 2020 at 16:29
If you're talking about the Tulsa massacre of 1921 of course that was awful. The interesting thing is I'm fine condemning right wing violence, but wit...
September 20, 2020 at 15:54
So if Andy Ngo is a fraud and not a journalist do you support initiating mob violence against him? The damage was fairly serious by the way, he did su...
September 20, 2020 at 15:29
Sorry for the brief answer but I'm arguing against 4 other people here... I was referencing the brown shirts in the early 30s, before the wide scale a...
September 20, 2020 at 15:23
Would you agree with this statement: Although the stated goals and history of the antifa movement are noble, in recent times there has been some distu...
September 20, 2020 at 15:17
God, I should just listen to you Streelight because you obviously have all of the facts. In fact, you're so full of facts and knowledge of reality tha...
September 20, 2020 at 14:55
Not necessarily. Someone could conceive of God in a way outside of the Judeo-Christian-Islamic tradition. Someone could conceive of God as Gaia or som...
September 20, 2020 at 14:52
I don't care if their movement has extensive roots dated back to the 1920s and a heroic history of fighting oppression, the moment dozens of them begi...
September 20, 2020 at 14:42
I don't know when they started, at least 2017. I'm dealing with them in their modern form. The core belief is that fascism ought to be physically foug...
September 20, 2020 at 13:46
no i characterise them as violent based on their beliefs and also actions. antifa is more of an ideology than an organized group. it's the belief that...
September 20, 2020 at 12:04
Come to think of it, class awareness has kind of fallen by the wayside with identity politics/BLM nowadays. I actually find discussions of class to be...
September 19, 2020 at 23:11
FTFY. I never said every anti-fascist is a criminal either so you're straw manning me now. Strictly speaking I'm an anti-fascist. Lets start here: Do ...
September 19, 2020 at 22:57
The leftists have their own definition of fascism under which mainstream right wing thinkers qualify as fascists.
September 19, 2020 at 21:53
I mostly agree with you here, I just think each instance where cops kill someone needs to be taken as an individual case and it's not fair to lump the...
September 19, 2020 at 21:49
That's ridiculous If you're going to arrest someone and they pull a gun on you you can't give them "due process." There are witness reports which seem...
September 19, 2020 at 21:14
Because he killed Aaron Danielson and then drew a gun on police when they tried to arrest him? Pro-fascist, anti-fascist.... both love the color black...
September 19, 2020 at 20:45
a) Antifa has killed. Does the name Michael Reinoehl ring a bell? Earlier there was a terror attack that was stopped. b) Most importantly where is the...
September 19, 2020 at 20:03
I condemn the policemen/women who commit egregious murder, but it's important we get the facts first before rushing to judgment every time someone is ...
September 19, 2020 at 19:17
It would be hilarious if Zn0n and Schop were the same person. In that case Schop would be carrying on long, drawn out dialogues just between himself i...
September 19, 2020 at 13:11
The reason I'm more skeptical of antifa is that the far left operates with a different definition of "fascism" than the rest of the country. They'll c...
September 19, 2020 at 12:12
The name doesn't mean anything. Just because you call yourself something like that doesn't mean you're on the side of justice. Antifa as a movement is...
September 18, 2020 at 13:10
Amen. I'll respond to the leftists. I won't respond if a response is just total nonsense though, which I have seen here from some users (or maybe just...
September 17, 2020 at 01:50
He must really feel terrible about all those poor, innocent, infinitely valuable malaria-spreading mosquitoes that have been killed lately. I wonder i...
September 14, 2020 at 22:16
Can you just answer the question of what should be done if two "infinitely valuable" life forms are placed into a situation where one must die for the...
