Americana Antifa

It's not just right-wing media that got Antifa wrong. It was also liberal media that has enabled fascism by bothsidesing. Did you know in the past 25 years, not a single death was linked to Antifa? Like with BLM and past civil rights movements, the violence is very rare. But liberal media wants to equate the far-left with the far-right. They're afraid of appearing biased, so they pretend that anti-fascists and fascists are equally dangerous.

This just shows that "woke" really means nothing. This was a mega-capitalist bank that went under because Trump deregulated the banks. But they actually failed because, I don't know, some of the tech bros were gay or something.

It's part of the Enlightened Centrist meme. And several people on this forum think it is because stupid. Venezuela never had Socialism. Please don't tell me you think something is socialist because they used the word. Identity politics is cringe no matter who is doing it. Every protest has fringe violence. The fringe doesn't define the majority.

There's no question that the tech bro dipshits brought this on themselves. But saying that Trump was right is very ironic because he made it possible for this to happen. It's like saying that train derailment in East Palestine happened because woke, they should have listened to Trump, when really it was able to happen because Trump deregulated the train industry.

First of all, the Black Book of Communism has been largely discredited. Secondly, tankies are not commies. Communism means no government, no class, and in some cases no currency. Communism means the means of production are shared by the community. Countries like the Soviet Union, North Korea, China, Vietnam, Hungary, East Germany, and so on never had communism or socialism.

Source? And please don't link me Matt Walsh. No, because race is different from gender. Gender is about self-identity. You can deny reality and pretend it's the same as sex if you want, the same way you can deny reality and say Asians are not human. But in both cases, you'll have to deal with the consequences of your actions.

So then is your only probably with Antifa that you stupidly believe the narrative that the media created for them? Keep in mind, right-wing media did the same for BLM. They painted the entire movement as violent just to discredit them.

So no more Jordan Peterson arguments, ja?

If that's true, then they're wasting their time. The vast majority of political violence is done by the Right. They can keep an eye on anti-fascists if they want, but they won't find much. Alright, so you agree with self-defense. So your real problem with Antifa is that they block marches. And you've been brainwashed into thinking every anti-fascist riots, but hopefully we can fix that with some education. Name one policy the Left supports that you would consider fascist. Keep in mind, deplatforming or boycotting something is not fascist. Maybe with that one poll, but in most of them, Americans see being woke as a positive thing. That's why it's better to not cherry pick polls.

I agree. It should be legal to deny the existence of trans people. But I'm glad people like that are looked down on.

Was this the same Donald Trump who deregulated the banks, which is the real reason this bank failed? Then again, it's easier to just blame it on woke.

Well if it's a public school, then you can either vote for change, or you can take your kid to a private school.

Yes, it reveals that I know fascism is not the same as communism. Just to be clear, I'm a socialist, not a communist. But I'm not an "enlightened centrist" so I know that fascism is much much worse than communism. He was saying that people can't change their gender, which means trans people are invalid. It would be like saying gay people and straight people are different when opposing gay marriage. TBH, if he said trans women aren't fully female, at least then he wouldn't be wrong. And that is a conversation we can have in good faith. Sure, but that's not what he did. He broke the TOS, then played the victim, which is all conservatives do. I disagree with some laws, but I don't break the law. That's part of living responsibly.

This is what liberal media does to your brain. The vast majority of Antifa protesters don't break the law. Not only am I not worried about the feds, but the feds are aware that the biggest threat in America is right-wing violence. Two serious questions for you. 1) Do you think it's okay to use violence in self-defense? 2) Do you think sit-ins are an acceptable form of protest against far-right marches? I was joking because you were using MAGA conspiracy theories. I don't actually think you're MAGA or any other kind of fascist. I think you've just been brainwashed by liberal media, which tends to "both sides" everything. Political correctness is annoying, but that's not how most Americans see "wokeness." They see wokeness as being aware of social injustice and they see that as a positive thing. Keep in mind, in America, the fascists use "woke" to define ANYTHING they don't like. So naturally, Americans are starting to see "woke" as a positive.

You can deny reality if you want. That's freedom, baby!

He broke the TOS and got suspended. Then he showed up when he was suspended, which is trespassing, so he got arrested. If you want to argue that the TOS should be changed, that's one thing, but pretending he didn't bring this on himself is just dishonest. Personally, I think private businesses should be allowed to discriminate. But if a private business gets shut down for discriminating, I'm not going to make the surprised Pikachu face. So let's get something straight and see if you can be good faith about it. Denying someone a platform is not fascism. The government arresting someone for speech is fascism. When people say that leftists are fascists, what they really mean is that leftists think private companies should deplatform certain people. As opposed to actual fascists, who don't just want people deplatformed, they want people arrested for speech. Understand the difference? Yeah, because the media has demonized Antifa. Most Americans probably think Antifa regularly riots and kills people. Source? First of all, Disney and Star Wars have literally always been "woke." Secondly, I'm willing to bet my house that if I look up the highest grossing movies of the last five years, at least half of them are Disney movies. The "go woke, go broke" thing is so ridiculous. Yeah, by having women superheroes, Marvel went totally broke.

Hopefully a lot. The same way people lose opportunities for being sexist, homophobic, racist, and so on. See, we've always discriminated against bigots. It's just that now, gender identity is a protected class like race, sex, orientation, age, nationality, and ethnicity. If you refuse to acknowledge that Asians are humans, you'll probably get fired. Is that policing speech? Well, kinda. But that's just part of living in a society. When it comes to trans people, probably very few. Scientists accept that sex and gender are two different things. It's only the anti-science crowd on this one. Well there might be some people who define "other" by, I don't know, dragons or something. But generally speaking, America recognizes three gender categories: men, women, and non-binary. Fringe cases don't change this.

You sure you're not a MAGA sheep? You have the same conspiracy brain disease that they seem to have. But no, I don't have a law degree. And no, defining Antifa by fringe cases isn't a good strategy. But this is what people have always done with protesters, so whatever. I guess if you were around during earlier civil rights movements, you'd have done the same. You're equating fascists with anti-fascists. Much like people defend Putin by saying Russia and Ukraine are both corrupt. It ends up whitewashing the side that is much worse. Well when it comes to "wokeness," most Americans are on my side. They think being aware of social injustice is a positive thing. The reason I think "cancel culture" is propaganda is because it's so easily debunked. But no, I don't think everyone who fell for that is a fascist. Many of them are well-intentioned liberals.

Yes. Fascists are the same as anti-fascists. Russia and Ukraine are both corrupt. Deflection. You said most people were sick of whatever "woke" is. That's wrong, at least in America. I do think it's pretty sad that so many people think cancel culture is real, but that's media propaganda for ya.

And you should probably stop confusing sex and gender.

The headline makes it sound like the student was arrested for saying men and women are different. But fascists are muschis, so you'll just deny it.

Try doing it once. If that's the case, sure. But if this is the current TOS, then you probably shouldn't cry too much when someone breaks it and gets suspended. Not in America. https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/3890296-most-in-new-poll-view-woke-as-positive-term/ See, this is what happens when fascists scream "WOKE" at anything they don't like. Most people in the West are anti-fascist.

In America, the "other" probably refers to non-binary people. In other countries, it depends what genders the society recognizes. Are you seriously going to do the Jordan Peterson idiocy? How many people have been arrested for misgendering people in Canada? I'll give you a hint. It's less than one. Intersex is a sex category, not a gender category. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_gender How many cultures are there in Switzerland?
