    We've called Volpone gay for years, and he still won't put a cock in his mouth.
    Why is it magically different for racism?

    Well, it's evident from @Volpone's posting style that he's a top, so that fits.

    Again, yes there were antifa there - that's their gig to show up and confront what they see as evil (and in this case they were right) - but the Nazi's planned this for month and went about it in a very systematic way and got the reaction they intended to provoke from the people they intended to provoke.

    Whatever the (great many) faults of antifa, they oppose Nazis and Nazis SHOULD be opposed. I think it's a VERY convenient narrative for the Nazis to have folks who, ostensibly, don't support them perpetrate the trope that the Nazis came to be peaceful until antifa attacked them. You do not show up to your planned "free speech" rally armed to the gils because you intend for things to be peaceful. And I doubt seriously anyone can document the claim of "this side attacked with violence first" which is also what they intended, enough chaos that they could both deny responsibility and use the event to attack the left.

    When you lot say "Nazis are fucktards but the leftist picked a fight" you are, in fact, acting as propagandists for the Nazis whether you mean to or not.

    you can't possibly have joined in 2004 because that's to childish for a 13 year old.

    Unless...there's some other way to account for that mental age...

    No, it doesn't fix everything.

    Of course.

    When there were "colored" bathrooms,getting rid of them did not make everything perfect.

    When little kids worked in factories passing child labor laws did not make everything fine with labor.

    It was just, ya know, the right thing to do.

    the percentage of our population which holds a Radical Islamic philosophy is so minuscule as to basically not register statistically.

    The percentage that holds white nationalist views is...considerably larger.

    The larger and more immediate threat takes precedent.

    the point being, for the slow on the uptake:

    Being anti-fascist is an unmitigated GOOD.
    As is being anti-NAZI and anti-racist.

    if some bunch of violent fuckers comes along and appropriates the name "antifa" that STILL does not invalidate the previous point.

    Nope, two wrongs don't make a right and violence for political ends needs to be condemned no matter who carries it out. I am with the ACLU here and it saddens me that you are endorsing political violence especially since there are groups which would want to subject you to violence for being trans. I would have thought you of all people would be willing to say political violence is wrong.

    Many liberals and conservatives both are great at the double standard when it comes to political violence. Sorry, it's wrong, accept that and double down on more effective methods, methods that don't involve assault/murder charges. You can't bring about change from behind bars these days because that's played out - there's no martyr effect to being locked up, everyone gets locked up for something these days.

    Should read 'You're both Americans'.

    I've said it many times before, the problem with the US isn't with the right (although 'the left' would like you to think it is). The problem is not with the left (although'the right' would like you to think it is). It's with Americans...

    thanks for sharing your opinion but unless you live here it's just that. We have unique problems & history that will take a lot of work to fix, but can only be fixed by americans who have "problems" as you call it.

    The problems will never be fixed until the right stops blaming the left and the left stops blaming the right, and you start blaming yourselves.

    Everytime anything happens in America the right blames the left and the left blames the right.
    Trump is a perfect example. When it is time to condemn an action by the right he simply can't, the words stick in his throat and, in the end, he blames the left instead. Its the most American thing about him.
    My point is, you're blaming the wrong groups. You have drawn your venn diagram in the wrong place over the wrong people.
