The left-wing "Antifa" movement is rising in prominence after clashing with white supremacists in Charlottesville, Va., but one progressive scholar says the anti-fascists feed the fire they seek to extinguish.
"As for Antifa, it's a minuscule fringe of the Left, just as its predecessors were," Noam Chomsky told the Washington Examiner. "It's a major gift to the Right, including the militant Right, who are exuberant."
Many activists affiliated with the loosely organized Antifa movement consider themselves anarchists or socialists. They often wear black and take measures to conceal their identity.
Chomsky said, "what they do is often wrong in principle – like blocking talks – and [the movement] is generally self-destructive."
"When confrontation shifts to the arena of violence, it's the toughest and most brutal who win – and we know who that is," said Chomsky, a professor emeritus of linguistics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. "That's quite apart from the opportunity costs – the loss of the opportunity for education, organizing, and serious and constructive activism."
I'm confused. How do we know who that person was affiliated with? Also, we didn't see the entire interaction between the lady and the man. It looks like she may have unintentionally made physical contact with him and he got angry. Either way, he was wrong to drag her like that though. People are insane...
I've read that the American Flag is "racist", but what not these day?
College kiddies say it "triggers" them and scares them. They need to find a 'safe space' when they see the Flag.
Life in our Transformed America I guess. They Hysterical Meltdown continues.
Antifa likes to sucker punch as well, I've noticed. Best thing someone could do is rip off their masks, take a pic and forward to police. Most seem to have warrants out.

The Snowflakes need a quiet, scenic area, away from the public where they can get sunshine and exercise. How about picking fruit now that there are fewer illegals? They can make more money doing an honest day's work than posting trash on Forums.
Just keep hearing sarcastic comments, so no solution here
Here's a solution...Order out the NG with shoot to kill orders. Anyone in black hoodie with a mask or a kkk clown suit get exactly what they deserve....
