Why is Antifa tolerated? Because they're left wing?

The article reminds me of someone trying to defend a guy raping a girl by saying she was asking for it by the way she was dressed, and flirted with him, and grinded on him on the dance floor.

And then at the end tosses in a "but I'm not saying it was acceptable for that to happen".
Exactly.
 
And IIRC, one of the claims against him was he was doxing Antifa members. Good. No one should be able to put on a mask and go out in public and act a fool. They wear masks because they know what they're doing is wrong. I have zero problem with unmasking them for who they are. Same way I feel about the Klan. If you're going to espouse a belief and act a fool, own it.
 
So you’re not worried about making truthful accusations, you’re just trying to get even by accusing people of “loving” politically motivated violence because they didn’t engage in virtue signaling over some racism accusations (which you appear to have just made up) and which weren’t even directed at you?

Thanks, that’s very helpful.

Boy. You sure did side step Joevol on that one.
 
I took it as he admits that he’s lying, but rejects any criticism of his lies because I didn’t call out other people when he has lied about them being liars.

Maybe I’m misreading it.


Yeah. You're way off base.
 
Clear as mud maybe. From their point of view when writjng about those on the left, describing the Antifa group and to quote :

Meanwhile, there’s a hunger among some parts of the left for a more radical and aggressive politics beyond the ballot box — a sense that the surge in racism and bigotry is so threatening that there’s no choice but to take to the streets and physically confront the pro-Trump right.

Really? They might as well just say that Antifa is just misguided and if it wasn't for Trump, Antifa would disband and have no further purpose.

Then there's this quote :

Ngo’s coverage of left-wing protesters is similarly ideological. He views left-wing activists, like Muslim immigrants to the West, as a threat to free and open societies. His reporting plays up acts of vandalism, violence, and hostility to free speech without a comparable focus on the much more frequent and deadly actions of right-wing extremists.

The played up part I had to laugh at. Since when does Antifa NOT cause vandalism, acts of violence and hostility towards any one opposing their view? Vox may not outright condone the assault, but they did their best to discredit the man and make it appear as if he had it coming.

Agreed.

The theme of the article was "there's no excuse for assault, but make no mistake: Andy Ngo is a bad person. He doesn't deserve to be attacked, but he doesn't deserve your sympathy."

You get a bunch of people having a tiki torch rally at a confederate statue, someone is going to take a picture or video and post it online. They are in public to draw attention to their cause, otherwise they would be at home spreading hate from behind a computer.

Free speech, Mick; your buddies are champions of it ... even having it reclassified so that actions are equated as "speech". It really is amusing when the liberal champions start complaining about what others have to say. The day is probably near when your side tries stuffing the cork back in the bottle after finding the genie cuts both ways.

Portland better pop their heads outta their rears and do something before August 17th since it looks like there may be a few hundred, upwards to a thousand, anti-antifa folks show up there if Biggs has his way.

I didn't see where he was in BLM but I did see where he was a military veteran that turned a peaceful march into a white cop killing rampage. Go bump that thread if you want to talk about it.

So reading that article you found no evidence whatsoever that he was linked to radical hate groups tied to BLM? Are we playing on semantics here? That was just a few things I pulled out of google last night. I’m ok if you call me out because BLM wasn’t linked to him in that specific article. It the scheme of my argument it’s irellevent. Black man murdered cops in a terrorist way because he accepted and embraced radical ideas and decided to kill cops based on that ideology.

Actually everybody is tired of extremism. You can pick a side but don't put me on the other side just because it's would be convenient for your argument.

So there is no actual link to BLM and the whole premise of your argument was he was in BLM.
 
If liberals don't support Antifa, then why aren't they condemning Antifa? They certainly aren't at a loss for words about anything else; one could easily suppose their lack of criticism is acceptance.

Best post from you in this thread which btw are many good ones.......Winner of the Chick Fil-A Chicken Dinner.

Get ready for some video out of DC today. Apparently holding a rally. Passing out flyers on what to say to the cops if you get arrested. Also passing out flyers saying if you video don't catch incriminating acts on it. Lol
 
There's only about 2 liberals on this board I've seen speak out against it. The rest justify it by saying"but trump", cause they love it.
The party as a whole doesn’t promote Antifa out loud but they absolutely remain silent on condemning them, they know that’s the base and as long as they are beating Republicans they are completely good with it.
 
Antifa on video in DC assaulting media, Trump supporters, destroying private property, attempting to break through police barricades, fighting with police and marching from their rally location TO the right's free speech rally location.

So who's starting the 🐮💩 here...Antifa.
