There's No Equivalence Between Antifa and White Supremacists
If Trump is concerned about violence on the left, he can start by fighting the racist movements whose growth has fueled its rise.

  • Karen Kolbinsky Really/ Antifa is more facist than any other organization yet to have been formed in the US under any name.
    • Byron Howes I dunno. I've been threatened by white supremacists. When was the last time a member of antifa (?) threatened you?
    • Alan Archibald Did you read the article about "Antifa and White Supremacists" before posting your comment?

      Or did you just read the title and then come out with your rhetorical guns blazing?

      According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, there were 1020 hate groups in the United States last year and all but 36 of these "hate groups" (3%) were right-wing organizations.

      If you examine the remaining 984 "hate groups" on SPLC's list (97%), you'll see that all of them exhibit right-wing orientation in general, but even more specifically, they are right-wing racist groups most of them going back to southern and mid-western Klan racists who currently make up a large part of Trump's Base. (Every single one of these right-wing hate groups loathes the Democratic Party along with everyone else on the left side of the aisle.)

      Furthermore, the hate groups that are not right-wing-and-racist, are black separatist or black nationalist groups.

      I have no experience with any of these black separatist/nationalist groups but, given the built-in structure of American racism and white privelege, it's easy for me to view these groups as resistors to Uncle Sam's racist system just as German and Polish Jews tried (with little effect) to resist pogroms, ghettoization, stigmatization and other forms of Nazi degradation.

      Here is the Wikipedia link to U.S. hate groups: https://en.wikipedia.org/.../List_of_organizations... 

      Elsewhere we learn from "Business Insider" (hardly a hotbed of left-wing ideology), that EVERY extremist killing in 2018 was perped by right-wing extremists. https://www.businessinsider.com/extremist-killings-links...

      But don't take from me.

      Scour the web to gather all the documented information you can find under the umbrella of "left-wing hate groups."

      With the arguable exception of Antifa (which took root in anti-fascist resistance to Mussolini), I will be surprised if you uncover any other left-wing hate group. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifa_(United_States)

      Indeed, the term "left wing hate group" is essentially oxymoronic - like "Goddamn motherhood and apple pie!"

      We on the left "have lives" that we're busy living and therefore don't need the consolation prize of looking down from the parapets of heaven -- or down from the White House balcony -- to espy lost souls who, in the "righteous" judgment of "The Right," deserve whatever goddamn fate awaits them.

      "The Hard, Central Truth Of Contemporary Conservatism"

      History persuades me that right-wing "righteousness" fuels right-wing murderousness.

      Often, right-wing murderousness coincides with the belief that "The Righteous" are acting on God's behalf, and as his "agents," they're only giving "the damned" a taste of what God Himself has in store for them. (An simian version of "Christianity" has always been the ideological foundation of the Klan.)

      Whether or not you agree with my full assessment, please study up on "left-wing hate groups" and post links to your findings.

      Thanks.

  • Alan Archibald Neither I nor anyone I know has ever even seen a member of Antifa.

    Sightings are as rare Tasmanian Devils.

    Have you seen a bona fide Antfa member Karen?

    How about your friends? Have any of them seen one?

    I have seen lots of havoc-wreaking white nationalists and white supremacists, one of whom drove his car into a group of left-wing protestors in Charlottesville, Virginia, killing one and injuring 28. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlottesville_car_attack
