Even though I shouldn't, I feel inclined to ask... Is there a clue leading to the crusader's treasure trove somewhere?
Also, fresh good news from the Associated Press...

I, too, love when a genocidal dictator is utterly intransigent
I love when the US doesn't get its way in foreign policy, though there are certainly nicer figures than Mr Overkill...
I'm glad the death toll wasn't high enough to impede your satisfaction on a finger getting put up to the US.

Jeanne is... also best girl and Jeanne Alter is EVEN MORE also best girl.

When the sarin spread throughout the city streets, killing thousands of Syrians, I thought to myself, "finally, the Yankees are getting what they deserve!"
the tanks are coming
Random dude in Colorado gets stabbed outside local Steak n Shake for having a "Nazi haircut". But Antifa is totes just acting to defend themselves you guys!
what is "antifa"
- - - Updated - - -
the answer is "not an organization but a broad grassroots movement with the only connecting thread being opposition to fascism"
That dude honestly does have really bad hair.
a window gotten broken at an anti-trump rally, perhaps this means Nazis are good?
I mean, replace Fascism with blacks/minorities and that's white supremacy, and we still say white supremacists ran down an innocent girl in Virginia.

A point of key distinction being that stabbing randos is not a key requirement of being anti-fascist, but hating, suppressing, and often killing non-whites and those who defend them IS key to White Supremacy.
If you don't think violent activism is a major part of the modern movement defined as "Antifa" (which is completely different then general opposition to Fascism) then I honestly don't know what to tell you.
And none of this "Antifa doing bad things means saying Nazis are good" nonsense. That's an utter straw-man and you know it.

That just makes any attempt to defend the movement as a whole even more ludicrous. Personally I wouldn't call people like the guy who stabbed Witt "Antifa", I would call them random vigilante punks who think beating people up FOR GREAT JUSTICE is a totes awesome idea. People like you are the ones that try to give them the veneer of a serious movement through lumping them together with genuine anti-Fascist activism...

Uber-short hair is generally not a good look IMO, on men or women. Still not worthy of getting stabbed, though.
Force is of course key, but the fallacy you always attempt to construct, and which has been blown out of the sky 20 thousand times, is that force is inherently random and purposeless. This, demonstrably, isn't the case. Nazis marched armed, with intent to use violence, because armed violence is inherent to fascism. Only when met with force are they repelled. This was witnessed at multiple points in Charlottesville specifically and in the general sense. Some rando stabbing another rando no more changes that fact than a window getting broken during a protest means the protest is a riot or the protest's message is invalid.

As an addendum: the people willing to stand between their fellow citizens and Nazis with riot gear and submachine guns with nothing but (at MOST) improvised clubs, spray, and gumption are engaged in more genuine anti-fascist activity than you have ever been in your entire life.
I actually approve of how the anti-fascist protestors (lumping them all in with "Antifa" would concede the rhetorical point I'm trying to fight against) handled Charlottesville, so most of your point doesn't really apply to me. But most cases are not quite so clear-cut as a bunch of Nazis marching literally waving around Swastika flags and automatic weaponry.
Nor did I ever claim to be an anti-fascist activist myself. You're changing the subject.
I must be out of touch with the world when I think people supporting Nazism and racial supremacy are ridiculous and should all die.
This basically reads as "They actually aren't bad but I feel the need to complain about them so I'll ignore it"
Are they at a Nazi march, bashing fasc? Guess what.
What other major events would you point to, exactly?But most cases are not quite so clear-cut as a bunch of Nazis marching literally waving around Swastika flags and automatic weaponry.
I'm not. I'm pointing out that it is completely absurd of you to dismiss the people who are actually willing to die fighting fascists of not being engaged in genuine anti-fascist activity. This is a thing that you did.Nor did I ever claim to be an anti-fascist activist myself. You're changing the subject.
