    Simply, antifa aims to deny fascists the opportunity to promote their oppressive politics, and to protect tolerant communities from acts of violence promulgated by fascists. Critics say shutting down political adversaries is anti-democratic; antifa adherents argue that the horrors of fascism must never be allowed the slightest chance to triumph again.


    And these MOE-RONS (thanks, Reba) "protect tolerant communities from acts of violence" by committing BIGGER acts of violence?

    I think these nutters must be reading the Satanic Bible.

        DPS: Antifa Linked to Texas Protest Violence

        The Texas Department of Public Safety has confirmed it is investigating links between violent extremists, including Antifa, and some of the violence at recent protests about the death of George Floyd.

        The Texas Rangers and DPS agents are working with their counterparts at the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Joint Terrorism Taskforce to pursue individuals who have been involved in inciting riots or looting in the state of Texas, DPS Director Steven McGraw said Tuesday.

        “We are talking about violent extremists. There’s anarchists. There’s Antifa, but there are also criminals that are using this as an opportunity to exploit and to loot and hurt others. That’s happened” said McGraw. “We have a long memory. We have recorded evidence, and we will continue to investigate each and every event to identify those individuals who were involved in criminal conduct and make the appropriate arrests based on probable cause and getting prosecution from either the district attorney or U.S. Attorney’s Office.”

        McGraw said DPS has had special agents embedded with the protestors to try to identify the violent infiltrators. Some have already been identified and are expected to be arrested.

        McGraw pointed to the May 31 protest and looting at a Target store in Austin as a violent act that was organized by Antifa via the Internet.

        “The protest and looting of Target in Austin that was done and organized by an Antifa web page and of course, the surveillance that was provided over the internet identifying where law enforcement resources were staged, was done over Antifa accounts.”

        Twitter suspended an account claiming to belong to a national “antifa” organization and linked to the white nationalist group Identity Evropa. The newly created account with the handle @ANTIFA_US tweeted on Sunday: “Tonight’s the night, Comrades,” with a brown raised fist emoji and “Tonight we say ‘F— The City’ and we move into the residential areas… the white hoods…. and we take what’s ours …”

                  It's almost as good as when trump supporters committing violence, then they aren't conservatives. Charlottesville had one of them ram a car into a crowd of peaceful protesters. One of them just shot a protesters during these ongoing protests, while chanting n-words at people.

                    If, as a German citizen, you knew what Nazis were like and what they were going to lead to, and you decided to confront them in public in order to not let them gain a social foothold...

                    Isn't that what you'd be doing?

                    ps. whether you'd be committing "BIGGER acts of violence" or not is entirely debatable

                      I don't recall anyone saying they weren't Trump supporters or conservatives. We said that not all conservative are alt-right deplorable Nazis. Yes, there were a bunch of white supremacists there at Charlottesville and they might well be Trump supporters. But that doesn't make all Trump supporters or even MOST Trump supporters violent or white supremacists.

                      Heck there might be some peaceful Antifa out there, but by and large, MOST of them that show up at these rallies and riots are not peaceful, and they ARE Antifa, not "pretenders"

                        When Trump starts rounding up jews and putting them into gas chambers, then I will gladly join in fighting against him. But that isn't what is going on here. They just want to cause chaos. They are just destroying private property, punching old women and men, setting fire to cars, etc.

                          There are thousands and thousands of Antifa protesters but only scarce reports of violence from them, and their official stance is disruptive protests but not violent protests. If most of them were violent, then why do only a handful of them engage in violence?

                                Have you watched the videos? It is not a "few" engaging in violence it is most of them. Remember the college riots when conservative guest speakers were going to speak? Remember when Trump was elected? Or Portland?

                                sheesh.
