[INSIDE ANTIFA] Steven Crowder infiltrates Antifa group, exposes tactics

Basically, Crowder and his cohost "Not Gay" Jared were able to get into a group of Antifa organizing "protests" for Ben Shapiro's speech at the University of Utah. Going undercover, they were able to get a good amount of info on how Antifa conducts themselves and forms their strategies. Several arrests were made when the nature of such tactics was made clear.

Basically, here's what we've found out about Antifa from this sting:

• After being labeled a domestic terrorist organization, everything is a lot more on the down low. Specifically, they vet people they let into their discussions, and they require that those looking to join the group download an encrypted messaging app on their phone, where they'll take roll call using code names like "Firebird", "Skimask" and "Xevious".
• Meeting in the park, one Antifa member talked about "backup" when "stuff hit the fan". This consisted of his sedan, where, in the trunk, he reportedly had a rifle he described as an "assault weapon" and a sawed-off shotgun, which are illegal everywhere. He then unironically handed the mole an ice pick.
• The organizer, possibly transgender/gender-queer/whatever the forget, advertised the strategies the group would take as "plain clothes, hard tactics", remarking that "they wouldn't know what hit them" because "they're not prepared for what we're planning". This is inaccurate, as you'll see later, because they need good PR to be able to thrive.
   They can't turn off potential recruits.
• Student organizations like the "Students for a Democratic Society" will work with Antifa when it benefits them, informing operatives about police activity and even providing what can be described as "counter-security" (AKA they commit acts of violence themselves).
• They absolutely love code names. Even when appearing on radio stations, they'll use bland, nondescript names like "Clark".
• At the park meeting, the possibly trans organizer who advertised the group earlier handed the mole a pocket knife, remarked how she had a hand gun on her, and not only that, but that there were reportedly two AK-style rifles on the way. She then added, "do what you gotta do", suggesting those in the group go to the military surplus store and buy a ka-bar (five-inch combat knife) to keep on their person in case they wanted to repeatedly stab someone.
• The official "backup plan" decided upon by the group was that if "stuff hit the fan", they would lure counter-protestors to the sedan with the weapons in the trunk, at which point the mole got the forget out of there and their asses were reported to the police, who were somewhat aware of the situation.
• No major news network reported this. Not even FOX News. When they reported the violence the next day, even they downplayed it, calling the violence "protests over a controversial conservative speaker" instead of the more accurate "riots over who the rioters saw as a national socialist". Even when Crowder approached reporters with the story, they turned him down and walked away.

TL;DR Antifa is Antifa and it's a lot more intense than you think it is.

this is hilarious. first of all, the guy said he "infiltrated" antifa "hard", but all the videos show is him going to a meeting in a park with a bunch of nerdy teenagers? people who have never seen a gun in their entire life. one guy literally starts whistling when he sits down with him, cus this is a scene from looney tunes I guess. but sure. yeah, that guy is the leader of a terrorist cell and definitely not a child talking tough with his friends to sound cool
half the video was just him talking about himself. like when he was talking to that news anchor and he made sure they knew he was a "late night host, comedian", or "it took steven crowder and not-gay jared to pull it off". you'd almost think he has something to gain from people watching this video

also the other guy called signal a "super secret encrypted messenger app" lol

you have not picked up on the dichotomy that Antifa is a group of nerdy teenagers who are violent and like to shut down events
but yeah sure they're just edgy teenagers even though they plotted gunning down a bunch of counter-protestors and got arrested for it

I took it less as Crowder talking about himself and more "mainstream media isn't doing their loving job and reporting the news", which we already know they aren't
but hey that's just me, someone who wouldn't have a clear bias against the presenter in this case

also the other guy called signal a "super secret encrypted messenger app" lol

doesn't explain away why they're using it if they're apparently the good guys

anyone can "plot" whatever the hell they want to. it doesn't mean they are actually capable of doing it and it certainly doesn't mean they're part of some international organization

he was definitely talking about himself lol. the whole video was made for him to get some subscribers

but hey that's just me, someone who wouldn't have a clear bias against the presenter in this case

no, but you are biased in his favor :/

you're using https to access this forum, therefore you must be doing bad things here

guns
they have guns
also at what point does a group organized by someone for a specific purpose become an organization

he was definitely talking about himself lol. the whole video was made for him to get some subscribers

by your logic then, you're basically taking pot shots at Crowder to gain street cred

nice equivalence, because messaging apps are totally comparable to the world-wide web

nice equivalence, because messaging apps are totally comparable to the world-wide web

Well, they're both encrypted for pretty much the same reason

[Tactical Nuke]

Well, they're both encrypted for pretty much the same reason

you can't watch research in a messaging app

[Conan]

you can't watch research in a messaging app

i beg to differ. and still its like people who use overseas banks are only using it for malicious reasons. sometimes they want security and its totally legitimate, you can't blanket statement everyone.

i use a secure messaging app as well... i guess i'm a terrorist or criminal-in-development??
