How do you know he is anti fascist? Maybe he is burning a sign to symbolize that his free speech has been burned. Who knows who he is or why he is doing anything......People do all kinds of things all over the planet, and you can find a photo on the internet to try to prove whatever point it is that you are trying to make....which i do not get with that photo. I just find the photo to be disturbing.....is all.
Because it happened at a Berkley Antifa ralley yesterday. Here it is from another angle The far left has socially engineered these people to believe free speech is hate speech. Now Berkley, the birthplace of the free speech movement, is now the birthplace of the anti free speech movement. And it's funny now that we see the true animosity of Antifa, the left is trying to create conspiracies that they are insiders trying to make the left look bad.
Really? The "far left has engineered..?" There you go again, making unsupportable generalizations. "The far left" is an abstraction, incapable of any collective action at all. Antifa may or may not be behind the violence. How many Americans belong to Antifa? How many of the people shown in the photo belong to it? You have yet to show that Antifa is involved at all. The folks burning the sign could be agents provocateurs. It's happened before, in the Nixon Adminisstration, and AltRighters are fully capable of it. The guys with the burning sign are masked. As I've asked before, as was asked of the Lone Ranger, who is that masked man? What was the message they were trying to get across? FREE SPEECH BAD? How many of them are involved? Doesn't look like a big crowd, especially if you eliminate the photographers. Why do you think the masked men here aren't Trumpsters or Bannonites trying to discredit the left?" Or mutually parasitic simbionts? AlQaeda and the Neocons of the G.W, Bush Administration fed off of each other like parasites in a mutually symbiotic relationship. More to the point, why do you think a handful of jerks acting out are in any way representative of anything other than themselves? The idea that some Xs are Y, therefore all (or even most) Xs are Y is a logical fallacy, but is characteristic or your posts. It's a staple of propaganda, not rational argument.
Again, please give a specific example. I'll admit it as soon as you show me where is he failing. One example is all I ask for. Talk like this is why we rejected you guys and voted for President Trump. No effort to engage in a proper debate. Just throwing temper tantrums on how he's not your president.
These extreme leftist are simply not worth the breath it takes to talk to them. They wouldn't know a good deed if it slapped them in the face. "Liberalism is a Mental Disorder"
How is liberalism a mental disorder? You believe the govt should dictate what a person does with their own body among many other things? You don't care about the environment or the planet? ok, good to know..... You want to force your agenda, religion, ect... down other people';s throats whether they want it or not? Freedom does not matter to you. Wonderful. You are not worth my breath.
Well it looks like moonglow admits to being alt left. How has the government taken over your body!? If you believe that ... mental disorder is a given.
Oh, you have not heard that the Republicans in office now want to overturn Roe v Wade? That has always been their agenda due to Bible belt folks who voted for them. Get real, girlie.
There is a thread here filled with with hundreds of things Trump has done since taking office. But i suppose its easier to accuse people of throwing a temper tantrum than actually keeping up with what your president is really doing. As long as you can continue to volley insults at people you falsely believe to be your enemy, right..why keep up with actual current events when you can just parrot insults!
I thought we concluded 'the alt left' is a vague invention of some frustrated right leaning people, not a real thing.
Just like alt right doesn't exist? No, just that they aren't really alt either party but are fascists and nazi supporters pretending to be in a party. Leftist is extreme left. Aka alt left, so far left they lose sight... just like alt right, Seriously? Did bush do it? You are worrying about things that have not happened. He appointed a judge... now this judge might be a pro choice... who knows and who cares... now what has to happen is a vote, There are 5 pro choice on the Supreme Court, maybe 4 pro life at most now with the newly appointed. Still a minority. They do not overturn rulings, especially long standing ones like Rowe v. Wade. a new law would have to be drawn up. Then this is brought to a district and then state level I believe ... then supreme level and it is contested and doesn't get passed. So I don't know why you are worried about your body... it will never be overturned. There are a lot of right voters who are pro choice. I do agree with a cut off date for abortion... not after the first trimester Imo, but that is my personal feelings. I worked with someone who got an abortion at 6 months, which disturbed me, but it not my body or my place to say. So when do you think the cut off date for abortions should be? Or should there be one? If you set a date for not allowing abortions after a period of time you are taking away someone choice. Also if it is overturned individual states still vote on what they want to do. Unlikely though. Also trumps wives would have been perpetually pregnant if he was not pro choice. And you have had rightees in office since 1973 and it has not been overturned yet or come close to being . So relax, your body is safe.
I do not like Trump. I do not like who he has appointed. i do not like anything about him...i do not need to debate all of the specifics with you....We will just agree to disagree.
Well if rode v. Wade gets overturned I will go down to the USA to support choice... a naked group would be good. showing my backside against backstreet abortions. Maybe get a u turn tattooed in my ass for the occasion.
Yes Okie, with the far left being in charge of education and academia, the power to socially engineer new generations is in their hands. They've indoctrinated these Berkeley kids and many more at college campuses across the nation to believe that alternative views and diversity of opinion can be a danger to their safety. Thus the birth of Safe Space culture. They've indoctrinated these useful idiots to believe that because these ideologies put their safety at risk, it justifies a violent response (aka Bash the Fash & Punch a Nazi). They teach them the conspiracy theories about microaggressions and how people who use them have internalized racism and misogyny. They push their agenda that minorities cannot be racist, and therefore discriminatory actions and blatant racism by non-whites will be made acceptable ( like black lives matter for example). By melding the minds of this new coddled generation of millennial losers that being offended constitutes violence, they've effectively socially engineered a mass of useful idiots to use violence and intimidation toward those guilty of a thought crime (like not thinking like a radical leftist) to push their agenda that way. Calling dissenters "racistsexistbigotxenophobehomophobemysogynist" used to work for many years, but now those buzzwords are useless. So what do they do? They turn to fists and pepper spray, because they've only been spoon fed one idea from their professors for so long, a different idea is alien to them. You're in clouds of denial. Have you watched ANY video footage of what happened at Berkeley again just this last weekend? These are the same people who've been burning US and Gadsden flags at protests for decades. They deliberately started a brawl with people at a Trump rally on campus grounds (I must admit, these people must have a death wish dressing up as a tea bagger at Berkeley). They were even burning an AnCap flag while chanting "good night alt-right!" Just because they are faces behind masks, it doesn't make them a mysterious entity; everybody knows Bruce Wayne is Batman for christ sake. The fact that left wing outlets and journalists praised the anti-Milo riots at Berkeley until they realized it backlashed and gave him more fame and fortune, then they shut up and said "who really is Antifa anyway? Clearly they are agent provocatuers hired by Breitbart." Gimme a break dude. I suppose some of these "Agent Provocateurs" like Gavin Mc Innes take this act much much further by paying Antifa thugs to mace him in the eyes. Christina Hoff Summers is another one who has been giving speeches on college campuses challenging the lies of campus feminism since the early 1990s. But she recently had to wear a bulletproof vest and be escorted by police to get in and out of the building at Portland State University.
The "far left" is in charge of education and academia? Another juicy over-generalization. What do you consider to be "far Left"? Left of Breitbart? My experience with Academia is that it varies considerably in ideological orientation from state to state, from public to private institutions, and from department to department. Nor is it my experience that most college students are the malleable tabulae rasae you make them out to be. You're trading once again in stereotypes, based on select examples like Berkeley and "elite" schools back east. The Safe Space culture doesn't exist where I come from., https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/grade-point/wp/2015/11/30/college-president-rejects-safe-spaces-writing-this-is-not-a-day-care-this-is-a-university/?utm_term=.e02e988cac93 http://hypelinenews.com/texas-state-university-student-body-president-denounces-petition-to-make-campus-a-safe-space/ http://wgntv.com/2016/08/25/university-of-chicago-rejects-trigger-warnings-and-safe-spaces-on-campus/ I find it as absurd as you do--easy to ridicule, like any other fanatical ideology, but confined to a narrow group of institutions. Even in liberal arts classes around here, a wide range of ideas are encouraged, and professors who try to indoctrinate their students get lousy evaluations, as well they should. You're living in a Breitbart bubble. Your answer to the questions about Antifa-- "everybody knows"--dodges the question how do you know? Berkely has been a special case since the sixties. Your pattern is typical of right wing propaganda--take isolated instances and blow them out of proportion. When the Klan is mentioned, we're always informed that it's just an insignificant handful who get a disproportionate share of media attention. Same goes for Antifa.
