Israeli PM Netanyahu's son says leftist groups are more dangerous than neo-Nazis

I think everyone knows this deep down.

 

[HomerThompson]

Of course he would say that. A lot of leftist groups support the BDS movement. In fact, it has very strong support on the liberal left.

Not sure I give a fuck what the child of some asshole politician from a country predicated on religion has to say. But he's free to say it (I think).

 

[RockstarChris]

fuck em both. bring me some chicken.

At present, leftist groups pose a far greater threat to traditional liberal values than any far right groups. They reject Enlightenment assumptions and the inviolable dignity of the individual. They wish to destroy the foundations of Western Civilization and they have much more momentum in that direction than any far right groups have in their own pursuits.

Awesome source

The far left does not differentiate between caucasoid subcultures. There is no Jewish exemption. They are considered white therefore obstacles.

I think younger Jews realize this while their parents' generation is still on high alert for "Nazis".

He's correct that the Neo-Nazi groups are pretty much dying off. Meaning actual Neo-Nazi groups. KKK too, have decreased to a miniscule number of active members.

The new generation of "white nationalists/supremacists" are the internet trolls/Spencer's alt-right crew, but somehow I just cannot take them too seriously.

I think what they do is intended for comedic value more than anything. Something that they can laugh about on the forums afterwards, while the media goes hysterical.

It is possible though that individuals will be prompted to commit themselves to attacks, like the one in Charlottesville. But then again, there have already been numerous attacks by repressed individuals in the past. It's too early to say if there's going to be any kind of a spike in violence based on this one incident.

Don't be a pussy. Make a prediction bro.

Great post, gave me a chuckle and I wish I could agree. However any group of frustrated men who like to dress up and carry guns should be taken serious enough.

Alt right in my opinion is a manifestation of frustrated white men, the frustration being aimed at people who are even poorer and of course should be aimed at the rich and politicians who try to get even more for the rich at the expense of the whole nation. These same politicians however rile up these frustrated individuals against the poorest even more based on (in this case) cheap sentiments (some fucking statue) diffusing from the true issue at hand.

Divide and conquer imo is the strategy at play.

If a fully loded train leaves Leftists Station heading east at 12pm EST and a train leaves Nazi Central heading west at 6am CST, at what time would we hear a tremendous cheer as they crashed head on? Bonus question: how many seats on each would need to be occupied in order to bring things back to a semblance of normalcy? Please show your work for full marks.

It's amazing how many people ITT will be like "See!!!!! Even the JEWS aren't afraid of Nazis!!! FUCK leftists!!!"

When it's just convenient for them to say because leftists don't like what Israel is doing and are willing to take action

 

[Orgasmo]

This is coming from someone that supports same sex marriage, abortion, euthanasia and universal healthcare. By all accounts, I would be considered a left leaning liberal in the 1980's, but I've been called a Nazi, conservatard, homophobe, transphobe and bigot while debating leftists here.

I do view extreme left wing as more dangerous than Neo-Nazis. For all their misguided racial ideology, Neo-Nazis are a small minority that realistically has no chance to becoming mainstream. Cultural Marxists is a different story. They thrived on politically correctness and will actively silence/slander their oppositions with labels. Those that go against the flow will be publicly destroyed with the help of mainstream media.

We've seen what extreme leftism had done before in another country. China had gone through Cultural Revolution in the 1960's, where intellectuals and dissidents were purged because they were seen as the remnants of an evil old society. Traditions and historical artifacts were systematically destroyed, and hundreds of thousands were killed in public lynchings by Red Guards. What happened in the past two weeks in US is starting to resemble that.

For the monstrosity committed by Hitler, he couldn't hold a candle light to the amount of people that died under Stalin and Mao.

I would say yes, there will be, but not necessarily because the alt-righters have the courage to take such action on their own. They do seem hell-bent on showing their faces in protests around the country, and the Antifa are now essentially treated as the replacement of the actual police when it comes to dealing with their rallies.

One does not have to be a genius to figure out that it won't end up well.

I do wonder how many of them are like this idiot.

My feeling is it'll be business as usual. But I'm just some asshole out in the middle of the Pacific.

 

[Seaside]

Only in the sense that they are self destructive to a nation. The far left and liberalism is a weak ideology. A strong right wing ideology always wins out.

If the police take charge of such events, and the media tones down the amount of coverage they give to these people in their continued attempt to link them with Trump, then this will probably end up being a one-off incident.

If the two groups are allowed to brawl it out in subsequent events, with a disproportionate amount of media coverage given, it is possible that there could be an escalation to the violence eventually.

It's up to people, other than merely the President alone, to assume responsibility, and prevent the enablement of fanatics on both sides of the political spectrum. The police, the city mayors and such. They have much greater power over such events than the president has.

I understand that it is a very convenient argument for a lot of people to say that these people represent Trump's "base", but it has gotten to the point where these people are so invested in the idea that they would almost be disappointed if there wasn't an actual white supremacist boogeyman on the rise. One has to step back and question whether he actually wants these Nazis to go away or not.

I'll go so far as to say that anyone looking for Presidential guidance on this is missing the boat. These are local problems that need a community-driven response. Instead of hug a cop we need hug a black person. Let 'em know that in spite of pigs and the media us whitey ain't all out to get 'em.
