FYI, I'm not sure that most Americans understand this movement at all and, if they do, they would be more familiar with the term "anarchists" than antifa or black bloc.
A more important group than they would appear to be at first. I think that they are responsible for a lot of the supposed rioting that is done in protests over a variety of things like Greek debt repayment, environmental protests, civil rights protests, labor strikes, etc. It makes it appear as though those groups are becoming violent themselves when often times it's antifa agitators who march with the crowds and then intentionally escalate things.
Hm yeah I already met AntiFa in real life. Mostly bored, white college students in my experience.
Annoying people, not nice.
soros funds groups that want to destroy the west but protects israel from them
their heroes are the bolsheviks - that speaks volumes about their ignorance and wickedness

Yeah I don't think they are aware what happened to the first wave of bolsheviks after power was established.
I'll buy this if the Berkeley student body and faculty condemn the destruction and invite Milo back and pay for security.Bump to point out that the rioting in Berkely (Milo speech) was instigated by anarchists. It's the classic formula--take an existing protest, infiltrate the protest in seeming support, escalate the protest to violence and give the impression that the aims of the initial protesters were to be violent.
Then it's the responsibility of the initial protesters to stop or report to authorities these individuals so their actions can be halted before escalation. Not doing so implies tacit approval of the actions. If they don't represent you speak out and stop them otherwise don't complain when everyone paints you with the same brush because you continue to let them within your groups and stand idly by while they claim to speak for and represent you.Bump to point out that the rioting in Berkely (Milo speech) was instigated by anarchists.

It's not a "sell". Are you stupid? It's just what happened. Doesn't make it right or wrong or say anything about Trump or Obama, etc. Read through the thread. This is a tactic employed by a group of people and they do it all over the world, including at Berkely last night. I'm trying to help uninformed people like you to understand what you are seeing when you watch TV and notice a bunch of people with blank handkerchiefs, black backpacks and Molotov cocktails (things not ever union worker or college student has) attacking police in a semi-organized fashion. If you don't want to know what's going on, fine.I'll buy this if the Berkeley student body and faculty condemn the destruction and invite Milo back and pay for security.
Until then, no sale.
"Are you stupid?" The go to argument for idiots and morons everywhere. Nice.It's not a "sell". Are you stupid? It's just what happened.
