Antifa are extremely violent they are just physically weak an it's weird to me almost all of them are. I grew up in a lower economic area and I rarely if ever saw men built like them that fight like them. I would bet money on an average 13 year old from my neighborhood vs your average antifa member in a fight. In not insulting people for being violent they are super violent, they just kinda suck at it. I've yet to see even one that looks like a physically strong person. They are mostly all remarkably small and skinny.

Sorta this.

It's basically disaffected white teens/early 20s folks who have never/rarely fought back against an actual bully in their life, and AntiFa antics let them tilt at the windmills of their inner demons. They obviously never learned how to fight, either formally or on the street because if they had, they wouldn't have demons from being bullied.

It would make for an interesting psych paper.

An unproductive welfare tic who thanks to Trump is now collecting $600 a week to wreak havoc on private businesses and personal property. So in reality no different than a govt employee.

I've never read into the antifa group until now. But this doesn't sound too bad to me (except the violence):

3. What are they opposed to?
Neo-Nazis, Neo-fascism, white supremacists and racism, and these days the movement that encapsulates some of those ideas: the alt-right.

We spoke to secret Antifa groups in Oregon. They said they come from a variety of political backgrounds but they were united in their opposition to fascism, and they have an anti-government streak. They said they see creeping authoritarianism in the current American administration that they are looking to build "a movement that really insulates us from the policies of Donald Trump".

Weaklings can be terrorists too. They get their power in numbers.

Because they like to incite others into acting and do things that they can't. Like providing bricks in the hopes that the others will break the windows or breaking windows in the hope others will loot. Hitler was a little man - but he incited those with less brains and more brawn into doing what he wanted.

As I said, it's peculiar that you chose to insult a group based on their physique. It's the kind of juvenile, irrelevant thing Trump does. And, in this case, insulting them because they're not intrinsically violent enough. I guess you'd prefer that they were more violent, beating people to a pulp, and then you'd admire them?
