I don't buy it. This antifa people are responding to supremacy.
If a guy on the street is wearing a white dunce cap and porfessing that he, as a white man, is the king of the world, and you, as a "do-gooder," purposely run up to him, proceed to smash his face in, and run a bowie knife through his guts... who is in the wrong, you or the white supremacist?
Let's be clear, it was Leftists terrorists that shot Republican Congressmen in order to win a baseball game, and ANTIFA and Obama encouraged hate motivated Leftist BLM terrorists to assassinate cops in Baton Rouge and Dallas. Also, Obama voter and former CNN employee organized the 'unite the right' to protest and then brought in leftists fascist goons that successfully prevented the 'unite the right group to protest as they were approved to do....which in turn led to violence.
Unlike Leftists, I oppose all violence (left, right, center, Muslim,...) and groups that motivate their members to violence.
You think that guy was fighting for minorities? As a response to supremacy? Don't get me started on Bernie bros. It's another ball of twine.
As if it's comparable to an organized nazi march that is inciting the destruction of entire groups of people.

Also, isnt it enough for these friends of yours to know that they are better than those losers? That always seems to be enough for me. And the only people these losers are going to attract is other losers. But like I said, if it will make them feel better, then let them go and speak their mind. Personally I think it is counterproductive because it only draws attention to these idiots, but that is their right. They don't have a right to initiate violence, no matter what gets said. It's hard to claim "enlightened" status while you are causing physical pain to another person.
No, it's not enough. Why? Because the fight is every single day. Whether it's Summers at Harvard, google guy, or idiots on this forum, the narrative is that women and minorities are less than. Every. single. day. I have to incorporate these realities while trying to raise two little girls.

I don't have the privilege of ignoring it.
It's better to teach them that violence is a solution to people who think differently than they do?
I don't buy it. This antifa people are responding to supremacy. They are responding to a group who seeks to subjugate women, eliminate minorities (like kill them all), and rule. That is what the KKK is all about. That's what all these people are about. That you guys take issue with a rage response is mind numbing. It's the only possible outcome given our history.
The KKK has no influence at all. Ignore them and they go back in the underground. Keep spotlighting them and they grow like a cancer. I read that they used to have about 4,000,000 members long ago, and now they have an estimated 8,000 members. And that was because we allowed them their free speech, and they disgusted people so bad with their goals.
Let them have their rallies and not engage with them, and they will show themselves for the ignorant and repugnant people they are. Engage with them in violence and call out only one side of that equation, then some will be drawn to their movement.

I'm not going to gut anyone. A guy on the street randomly yelling is probably mentally ill. As far as organized groups go, how I will react depends on the situation.
This is not about people simply thinking differently than you. It's about people who strive to harm you.
I'm Jewish, so when I see a neo nazi, my thought is "I'm smarter than you and I can beat you in every way. You are the way you are because you can't compete in a fair game, so you want to rig the game in your favor, but I can beat you anyway. So I will just be better than you in every way."
With these guys, the bar is pretty low so it's not very hard.
How come, you can't see things that way. It is a great motivator. It does a lot more for you than taking a swing at the guy.
Some have called out ( doesn't exist) not the MSM of course, CNN ran a fluff piece on (doesn't exist) making them more powerful and if you consider how much has happened since last Saturday, they will become more bold, and more violent.
But hey, since (doesn't exist) doesn't actually exist, today's protests should be as non violent as Charlottesville.
