Charlottesville protests thread

Felt really bad for Deandre Harris, the guy got absolutely pummeled right next to a police station. Hopefully they find these guys.

they really got a leg up on that confederate statue
looks like he'll kneed serious medical attention to repair those legs

I mean even if someone literally does drive a car through a Confederate cemetery, I don't think that puts national socialists in the right.

Of course it doesn't, but the point is that doing stuff like that is fueling the fire, they do not need to be right, they just need to point at what the other side is doing and go "HEY LOOK THEY'RE DOING IT"
It's the exact same stuff with Antifa and it needs to stop, both sides only feed into each other by attacking each other it's insane

Yeah, I can agree that Antifa is doing the left a disservice. It's social activism for people who are too stupid or impatient to change the system the way that it's supposed to be changed in a democratic society. Plenty of the people out there throwing bricks and spraypainting stuff probably didn't even register to vote.

I don't know much about Antifa but the way they are talked about makes it seem like they're worse than the neo national socialists by some of you guys. I know about the vandalism at Berkeley but what else have they done? It seems like they just show up whenever any alt right people come to speak or protest right? I'm wondering because of Annoying Oranges comments stating that they're equal in how bad they are.

[Nonnel]

they pretty much show up once in a while to vandalize stuff. they haven't killed anyone, as far as i know.

They definitely break more stuff per-capita, but they aren't nearly as forgeted up in an ideological sense. They're a reactionary movement. You don't see right-wing extremists fighting as much because they're basically getting what they want from the government right now. But supporting either side is bad. It's not really worthwhile to try and juggle which one is 'worse' because then you're either propping up literal national socialists or idiotic serial vandals. They both suck.

Yeah definitely true. I feel like you have too much free time to actually go and try to assault national socialists or vandalize a public building because of who's speaking there.

i bet my money they will

Unlikely, most of them don't have the capacity to murder someone, unless it's a group of them.

antifa could have a chance to get so loving stupid sometimes

There's something admirable about that. They weren't willing to hide their faces and run away.

Outstanding bravery and outstanding stupidity are often indistinguishable
