Antifa

I know...so weird...I remember not too long ago when Antifa was viewed by some on this board as an existentialist threat to the American way of life.

Existential? That might be pushing it.
Are they a domestic terrorist origination? I think so based on a lot of their tactics of intimidation. If I were president, I'd have sent the FBI in to identify all of them and put them on the no fly list. :)

I went back and did an Antifa search...I don’t think that description mischaracterizes what some were saying. Was what they were saying pushing it/bordering on hysterical? Absolutely, IMO.

Well, 'some' will say anything. That's a pretty low threshold.

That's like saying I can prove probably cause. But not clear and convincing evidence.

How about what 'most' were saying. Or better yet, how about what 'most of the reasonable folks on this board' were saying? Let's scope this conversation to the right level.

Lol....you want to scope it to how many reasonable people took an unreasonable view re:Antifa? That’s some No True Scotsman exclusionary work there. Scope it however you’d like after going back and looking at the posts. I’ll scope it how I wish after having done the same.

The point was that there were plenty of unreasonable, hysterical people right here on this board when when it came to Antifa. Civil war...beheadings coming...quoting Alex Jones...attacking our American way of life. I went and looked at the posts...I didn’t take a census. Now dismissing Antifa as toothless and weak...where did they go?....etc.

It interesting to me how far attitudes and reactions to the “Antifa Threat” have changed since around the inauguration and months after.

I don't think Antifa is toothless and weak. Just hibernating until someone pays them to be malcontents again.

I disagree on this. Fake anger can only be ridden for so long before it withers away. Add that to the fact that millennials have short attention spans and boom, they are just another flash in the pan group
 
LOL what did happen? They were like, 11 kids that raised hell and got exponentially more attention and media than they deserved, thanks mostly to right wing media.

It is a great example of how a few people can set a for-instant-outrage-click-here-narrative that is picked up by the wingnuto'sphere, even here in Oklahoma. I think NZ even posted a hysterical video that if you actually watched it, showed a white guy punching an antifa chick. It was fact-free hysteria.

So what's the next huge conspiracy? Someone else in government texted a disparaging private opinion about Biff? Another pedophile ring? Army about to impose martial law again? Where we headed now? Soros isn't gonna live forever, ya know.

The irony in this post is next level shit.
