As my dear readers know, I often like bringing news from viewpoints not in the mainstream.
I don't do normal, very well.
Anyway, if your knowledge of the subject comes from the press, or worse, the flashylight box, then you will do well to catch up with the rest of the class, imo.
WHAT ANTIFA IS, WHAT IT ISN’T, AND WHY IT MATTERS
MICHAEL KENNEY AND COLIN CLARKE
JUNE 23, 2020
As senior citizen Martin Gugino was lying in his hospital bed, suffering from a subdural hematoma, President Donald Trump took to Twitter to suggest that Gugino “could be an ANTIFA provocateur.”
One day earlier, two Buffalo, New York, police officers shoved Gugino, leaving him bleeding from his ear.
What led the president to believe that Gugino — a 75-year-old and lifelong peace activist — was a member of Antifa, a highly decentralized movement of anti-racists who seek to combat neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and far-right extremists whom Antifa’s followers consider “fascist”?
A week and a half before the incident involving Gugino, in the midst of the protests convulsing the country after the murder of George Floyd, Trump announced on Twitter that “The United States of America will be designating ANTIFA as a Terrorist Organization.”
Meanwhile, U.S. Attorney General William Barr claimed that so-called far-left extremists groups were to blame for the violence at the demonstrations, accusing Antifa of “domestic terrorism” while presenting no evidence.
A recent review of those individuals arrested on federal charges shows no links to Antifa.
While this finding may change as investigations progress, the lack of an Antifa “terrorism” connection comes as little surprise to terrorism analysts who have been tracking domestic terrorism threats, including neo-Nazi groups such as the Atomwaffen Division and the Rise Above Movement.
So, why are the Trump administration and the attorney general so obsessed with Antifa?
The Antifa label has become a political cudgel wielded by politicians who are more intent on demonizing political opponents and framing terrorism as a partisan issue than on countering the most dangerous groups operating on U.S. soil.
After all, Atomwaffen has murdered several American citizens and had its members arrested with bomb-making materials, while Antifa has smashed store windows and engaged in street brawls.
To understand why Antifa has become a popular bogeyman for some public officials, it is critical to understand what the group is, what it isn’t, and why it matters.
you should know that german antifa has a long history. not a good one.
and now it's financed by our taxes..
but I dunno if you care..
I'm all for folks pushing back against those that would rule by force.
What they call themselves in less important than that they want to use sticks to push folks around, to me.
Pretty hard to fault people that use the only means of power currently accepted.
Perhaps if the status quo wasn't forced upon everybody then you would have a beef against folks picking up sticks and fighting back.
But, as long as the tax man can force you out of your house, I support anybody that is against that power, and the means they use to help us escape it.
they won't help defeat the status quo. their fight only reinforces the power of the status quo.
dumb looting or shooting around like in CHAZ will never make anything better! they hurt us directly and indirectly (cuz the power that be take that as legitimation to step up their game)
it's still part of the downwards spiral.
I don't support that.
I support economic evolution. No going back to cultural communism fight..
Yes, our future is not coming from out of the past without major revisions, imo.
Rule by force is my main gripe.
If your utopia requires violent thugs to persist, it sucks, and likely you do, too.
Peaceful non/cooperation is the destination, iyam.
Do what you do and if somebody forces you to do something else ask your neighbors to help stop that, good neighbors will grab their guns and stamp out tyranny where they can find it.
Liberty is enjoyed individually, but persists through cooperative activity.
Just as ending liberty does.
In germany are no guns allowed
Make one.
