/// Antifa is anti-government and anti-capitalist, and their methodologies are often perceived as more closely aligned with anarchists than the mainstream left. ///

/// Antifa does not shy away from militant protest methods, including the destruction of property and sometimes physical violence. ///

And...?
You are determined to defend a bunch of people shouting Nazi slogans and waving swastikas, aren't you, AOG?
Maybe you think the wrong side won WWII?
From the article:

//Critics argue the media tends to excuse violence by Antifa militants just because they are fighting white supremacists and their odious ideology.//

I think that's fair.

When you have a groups like the KKK and the White Supremacists, matching whilst shouting, ""Jews will not replace us" you need an opposing force, because we all know where Jew hate gets us.

A Holocaust.

Indeed, according to the article you linked to, the movement was founded in 1932 to provide a militant far-left group to counter the fast-rising Nazi party.

It's a pity that there still needs to be a group of radicals to opposed Nazi ideology 60 years after the second world war.

I think that the vast majority of good people are uncomfortable with people who try to drum up hatred of the Jews or black people, which is why Antifa will most likely be given a break, because their enemy (Nazis, white supremicists and the KKK) are pretty despicable people.
perhaps they feel society has changed not for the better, and no one is listening to their grievance, as they call it rail roaded, political expediency..im not taking sides, just listening
If these modern Nazis have a grievance with Jews, then I don't think anyone should listen to them.
it's not the jews they should be worried about, it's islam
Great that AOG whacks a controversial post in at 2pm but doesn't bother to comment further.

Don't you ever have guests paying you a visit?

No, I don't suppose the likes of you do.

As been said before, both sides are as bad as each other, and words cannot harm, but personal violence can.

Regarding the Nazis, the Soviets were just as bad as them, but you don't get the Left condemning them.

I am all for a level playing field, as well you know.



//If these modern Nazis have a grievance with Jews, then I don't think anyone should listen to them. //

I'll go with that, no more listening to the anti semitic labour party then!
You do understand your use of 'the likes of you' aimed at Zacs is insulting?
ANOTHEOLDGIT, do you have a superiority complex?

/// You do understand your use of 'the likes of you' aimed at Zacs is insulting? ///

Really!!!! now who would have thought that?

When in Rome they say.
For someone who moans at the slightest hint of an insult you really should know better!!

I moan because there is no need for it, hold a different opinion by all means, that is all part and parcel of debate, but no there are some on here who just can not help but be rude, so I have been forced to adhere to the rule, 'If you can't beat them join them' (only in their insulting manner of course, since that is the only language they know).
That's not how I view it. You often react like an over sensitive child and you're often the first to dish out the insults.

Stop using 'the likes of you' because most of the time it's uncalled for and you use it against anyone.
Does that mean you'll never mump about any perceived insults again since you are no different from those you perceive to be dishing out the insults?
Question Author
ummmm

So you chose to insult me as always by calling me an "over sensitive child".

So I will add "The likes of you" to my list of recipients.

Simply because I now know that it upsets the likes of you so much.

I will stop being insulting to those who insult me, try it sometime.
