Actually, it was supposed to be around one particular member of Proud Boys, and apparently there is dispute as to whether he or the group fall into those categories.The discussion has been around the antifascist idea and the white nationalist groups.
To be honest, I don’t know much about them. If reports about them reflect reality (racist, fascist, white supremacist), then the fit into that list I mentioned above.So you consider the Proud Boys to be which category?
There’s nothing wrong in that list, per se, and if unattached to the group named, I have no problem with any of it.Proud Boys ‘ values center on the following tenets:
Minimal Government
Maximum Freedom
Anti-Political Correctness
Anti-Drug War
Closed Borders
Anti-Racial Guilt
Anti-Racism
Pro-Free Speech (1st Amendment)
Pro-Gun Rights (2nd Amendment)
Glorifying the Entrepreneur
Venerating the Housewife
Reinstating a Spirit of Western Chauvinism
I’m anti-fascist, just not the fascistic Antifa version.
Are you part of “the left” now? Or you just are allowed to use their excuses with impunity?This seems to be the growing excuse of the left. “Well, we don’t really know what that term really means. “ or, “it doesn’t really mean that”.
Where do you get this? What organization? What funding? And they have chosen not to kill people, though one of their members abandoned that in August, so they have some qualms about violence.It is more than an idea. They are remarkably well organized, have access to funding, and no qualms about violence.
Not sure what you mean. I’m anti-fascist because it is in the very nature constitutional conservatism to be do.Are you part of “the left” now? Or you just are allowed to use their excuses with impunity?
Well, again, watch what they do on the streets. If you can’t define their ideology beyond the blackshirt outfits and tactics, I guess that’s all we have to go on.Antifa is not a well defined term. When Wray says it is an ideology, it is an affirmation that it is an idea, not group. Movement is similar, because it does not have a political structure.
They all remarkably show up at the same place at the same time. Their riot materials just happen to be where they are at just the right time.Where do you get this? What organization? What funding?
Oh, goodness no. Their list would have sounded like -I wonder what the brown shirts in 1930s German would have had on a website as “their list”. I suppose it would be similarly inoffensive.
I thought it was clear. You use the excuse Antifa does not mean anti-fadcist while accusing “the left” for saying “it does not mean that.”I’m anti-fascist because it is in the very nature constitutional conservatism to be do.
Do I condemn wearing black shirts? No.If you can’t define their ideology beyond the blackshirt outfits and tactics, I guess that’s all we have to go on.
I don’t see anything that answers the question in any way. Unless you are saying Holly Zoller is Antifa?Kind of answers your question.
The great thing shout free speech is you’re allowed to keep defending them.
They marched through the streets. They “broke glass”. I don’t think they worried about soft tones.No, they would have had a much softer take on what they were doing.
Where did I say that. They clearly claim to be anti-fascist. They just act and dress like they are fascists.I thought it was clear. You use the excuse Antifa does not mean anti-fadcist while accusing “the left” for saying “it does not mean that.”
You’re good with those in the above pictures!Do I condemn wearing black shirts? No.
Is their violence not a reflection of their ideology?Do i condemn violence? Yes, but we are talking about condemning Antifa apart from the violence.
Does she not present their ideology?I don’t see anything that answers the question in any way. Unless you are saying Holly Zoller is Antifa
Fixed. …
More evidence that they are just like Antifa. Loosely organized and they are designated by the hate group SPLC as a hate group.Several hundred people affiliated with Proud Boys, a loosely organized, far-right group designated by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a hate group,
Eye hait spul chek.Just had to rib you on that one.
Could be. The same with Antifa snd BLM.Don’t underestimate the ability of a group to lie to themselves as a way to have plausible deniability about the evil they do.
This is the comment we are discussing. I am trying to figure out what “Antifa… beyond the violence” means. The closest I have come is their blackshirts and their tactics. Do you mean something about their tactics other than violence? I will not condemn their blackshirts, though they are not very flattering.Interesting that Biden refuses to condemn Antifa and BLM beyond the violence.
I suggest you look beyond what I’ve already shared if you’re not sure. They rather open.This is the comment we are discussing. I am trying to figure out what “Antifa… beyond the violence” means.
That’s what I’ve seen, too.The closest I have come is their blackshirts and their tactics.
I think I explained this already. IDo you mean something about their tactics other than violence?
And one I’ve already answered. On the face of it, they claim to be anarchists. Is that something Biden should condemn? I think so, but if you’re concerned about a particular vagueness on the point, its true Of Proud Boys, too. I linked to their site.So what are you asking Biden to condemn? It seems like a reasonable question to me.
Who is defending Proud Boys? Do you defend Antifa?This is truly sickening when you have people continue to defend and even praise the Proud Boys, and simultaneously condemning and bashing Biden every chance they get.
