Opinion of the Charlottesville counter-protesters

[vanguard96]

Peaceful counter-protestors are FFs, of course.

The Antifa thugs are HPs, just like the despicable Nazi scum.

i voted HP thinking of only Antifa, but count me as a FF voter here.

For example, the guy that disrupted and pushed the organizing Unite Right group speaker at city hall was not wearing antifa colors or a mask. What do you think of the non-antifa protesters that get physical?

At what point is counter-protesting going too far?

Generally FF, but I'm absolutely no fan of the violent ultra-left. In Europe, it's called the Black Block, in the US it's just crazy ultra-leftist students.

I wonder if there is a concerted effort by people online or investigative journalists to 'out' antifa and other violent left protesters who are identified by video or eyewitness testimony. Such as going to their place of business and downrating the business, sending in petitions, etc. I don't have the time to do it though it seems some of my FB friends are in that crowd to do it to people they consider as racists, neo-Nazis, KKK, and white nationalists.

Before I answer, are they the same ones that lit fires on the Berkeley Campus because of some guy speaking?

You mean the ones that prevented this exact thing from happening on their campus?

Let's stop violence with more violence!

Well we now have evidence that when this approach is taken, nazis will commit vehicular manslaughter against counter protesters so...

Yes because a pretty controversial gay conservative or a blonde bimbo with a Texas Public Schools education on the development of Civil Rights going to speak at Berkeley Campus is comparable to a large gathering of white nationalists protesting the removal of a confederate monument in Charlottesville with violence.

Okay. . . . . . . . . what?

You really think that 1. there is no overlap between the alt-right and nazism and 2. nazis won't show up to "demonstrate" at a Milo/Tomi Lahren rally? Of course they will. These types play follow the leader. All it takes is one "rogue white nationalist" to decide that "antifa scum" should die for counterprotesting before we see a repeat of this.

Or one rogue antifa deciding a 'Nazi' or journalist for some capitalist propaganda media outlet is an easy target and underestimate how that nail in the board or brick could in fact kill someone.

All FF's, no exceptions

The ones who in their blind fury to 'punch Nazis' that hit the Richmond TV cameraperson and the Hill reporter are heroes?

^ Many of the ''Antifa'', if not most, are open communists.

Antifa's aren't the same kind of "far left" as #Marxists and Jacobins. The left is at least as diverse as the right.

It's true though that does not make them any less extreme or repugnant.

An-coms who are new left / post modernists as opposed to old-school Bolsheviks, Leninists or Trotskyites are just as bad in my book - they say they are not coercive but the evidence points to the opposite.

At least with mutualists or syndicalists you can have a discussion and dialog. But not with the antifa.
