Asking a question and having people give you answers isn't a conversation
It is since answers usualy leads to more questions or other reflections.
Asking a question and having people give you answers isn't a conversation
Jesus
If I gave this post the side-eye it deserves my eyeballs would be busting out of the back of my skull.
We need to remember though that just googling or watching a youtube video can take people down the wrong road.
I honestly looked this morning. Guess I coulda searched.
but shame on me for asking.
Its ok OP, it's very clear that you realized the videos were edited, and you were searching here for appropriate context.I actually did not have any motives. I knew the videos were edited and I knew a general idea was antifa vs racists.
Im anti Trump and majority if not all of the republican party.
I live in Oklahoma and honestly did not see much TV Anchor news this weekend on Portland.
which kind of makes sense
..because im in Oklahoma
I mean, Twitter is run by alt-right sympathizer, Jack. So it wouldn't be implausible if they don't filter out misinformation to "give both sides of the story"Is the right wing stuff just getting boosted or is no one else writing about it? I follow literally zero alt right shit on twitter (or anything politics for that matter) but just doing a twitter search for antifa and the first results:
nope just out of the loop and asked a question about some edited videos.Damn, when I clicked on this thread I thought OP was going to be an account with like 10 posts.
I honestly looked this morning. Guess I coulda searched.
but shame on me for asking.
Is there a difference between US ANTIFA and European? Since the european want stateless societies (anarchy) and some part (Italy and Spain) is more focused on communism (and stateless via that).
Antifa has existed in previous forms in the US (such as Anti-Racist Action) but its less ideologically "pure" since it only erupted recently in response to Trump. It's been a long time since thee has been a significant actively militant leftist presence in the US.
This shows how easy it is for people that don't follow politics to be easily baited by the altright.
Posts like this really make this seem like a JAQing off bait thread OP. You "just ask questions", people naturally throw out some snarky replies because that shit is super transparent, and then you play the victim, so much for the tolerant left, etc. I know you're stating that's not your goal here, which seems like gaslighting, another favorite tactic of people that post these kind of threads. So just be aware, a lot of your activity in this thread reeks of trolling, whether that's your intention or not.
I fuckin knew it!!Even the word itself is a contraction of "Antichrist Foreva" their horrifying reverse racist chant and mantra.
sorry, to clarify, i was talking about the antifa logo on the top and the hammer and sickle on the cake being shopped, not the person themselvesdon't know how to feel about several people thinking the person in that stupid meme is an "obvious photoshop," when they're more likely a trans dude, genderqueer or similar. people can look like that.
I really hope this video would work on that way but I wouldn't bet on itIs that the actual "leader" of the person who organized the protest?
Because if the city feels they were deceived in terms of the scope and resources needed to be allocated for peoples protection, the city/state can absolutely sue the organizers of the protest for reparations
Well I mean too be fair, I imagine a lot of peoples grandfathers that fought the Nazis in WW2 are big time Trump supporters. Then again, all they do is watch Fox News where they are lied to all day so it's hard for some of them to see what's really going on.Imagine supporting fascism in America, in 2019.
RIP WW2 soldiers apparently some of your grandkids are shitty nazis?
I'm not reading a lot into it at all. It was really transparent from the first post tbh, and now you've moved on to gaslighting.you are reading alot into this.
I guess I was being lazy and didnt google about what I saw and I just asked here.
thats simply what it is. You can assume Im trying to do otherwise which is understandable but you do you.
maybe I just asked a lazy dumb question. I already said im anti Trump and republican party so not sure what You think Im doing.
Ive heard the name and know of some protests.
Didnt know wtf going on in Portland tho.
sorry for asking a question yo. figured this was a good spot to ask
Yes you are. And comments like these are painful to read.I'm not reading a lot into it at all. It was really transparent from the first post tbh, and now you've moved on to gaslighting.
Antifa = juggalos?!we also drink faygo and rip plants from pots in old ladies' gardens
sorry you feel that wayI'm not reading a lot into it at all. It was really transparent from the first post tbh, and now you've moved on to gaslighting.

No that's not what I mean, what I was responding to was basically saying "just google it", but you never know what you're going to get when you google something. If I google "antifa" right now, the second link I get is a Fox News link, that's what I mean.I actually did not have any motives. I knew the videos were edited and I knew a general idea was antifa vs racists.

Woop woop?
Hm ok, that might be it since in Sweden and Europe, antifa is seen as a extremist organisation that want anarchy.
But I can totally see the need for it in the US.
Poe's Law mate.
Ummmm....
I'd take atifa over marching Nazis like NRM any day of the week.
Saying facism isn't a thing in the EU is just plain wrong.
They are not a left extremist group at all though...Same here of course, but I think since Europe is more left lening than US, there is not the same need for a left extremist group.
Is the right wing stuff just getting boosted or is no one else writing about it? I follow literally zero alt right shit on twitter (or anything politics for that matter) but just doing a twitter search for antifa and the first results:
Eh, no they're not.Eh, they are? Since if you want anarchy or statelesss society I would call that extremist.
Eh, no they're not.
They're only there to stand against fascism, that is not an extremist position at all. Not all antifa are anarchists, you know?
All you guys coming into this thread to pile on OP and accuse him of shit seriously need to fuck off. We all know how shitty Google algorithms are and how they signal boost extreme right content and OP stated right in the beginning that he knew the videos were edited. What an embarrassing thread.
There's another one of a "Middle aged man" being attacked alongside his "young daughter". The pair of them are known white-supremacists, the duaghter is actually in her 20s, and the pair of them have a nigh on incestuous relationship.
Or what about the "old man attacked"... yeah. he also has Nazi shit written on his clothes.
