I love this pic. It reminds me of a story I have been debating telling in here. It involves me coming as close to getting completely beat into a little wet spot yet managing to walk away untouched as you can imagine.Thats everyday in California
Edit: Come to think of it I don't think I ever heard of violent antifa protests before the last couple of years. I remember being in Oakland like 5 years ago and accidentally wandering through a very black rally.
I don't think anyone even notice my pastiness walking through
Edit Edit: I've still never seen an antifa in person. They only come out of the woodwork to make a scene when theres some opposition. I boned a girl who said she was a communist once though.

About your post, recall that the Proud Boys appear to have founded themselves on the premise of going out and picking fights with Antifa. It's like when you encounter idiots who are new to the WR or to a particular topic who spout the same nonsense you've refuted a hundred times before and instead of doing it again you take a shit on them only to be told you don't even try to reason or present evidence. I think for Antifa members, after having either been attacked by these white nationalists or seen them initiate violence against other people repeatedly, they are now prone to strike pre-emptively and the context of their apparently out of hand engagement is lost. Should they wait for more of these meal team six types to show up first and become set upon in the dark, for example?
I'm not at all sober so I would need to reread this post tomorrow to be sure if it comes off correctly or not, so regardless consider this a disclaimer to the effect of no offense intended. It occurs to me that if they monitored/infiltrated each others' social media feeds it would be possible for them to be very targeted in their appearances. They all seem to advertise where they are going to be so more people will go. It isn't all that difficult for their counterparts to go and confront them and no one would ever see them elsewhere.
It's all very dangerous, of course. This kind of thing could easily keep escalating. I noticed in the video that the attackers were really well geared up and had overwhelming numbers. Perhaps that's not an accident. They didn't go up against a bunch of weekend warriors/ex-military like the guy with the zip ties inside the Capitol. Perhaps it's because they wanted a crushing victory because they're employing tactics and strategizing. The veneer of incidental clashes appears to have been stripped away completely by Trump's sedition and what happened at the Capitol. And thus we arrive back at your pic, which is now quite apropos for any of our American friends.
This feels like one of those "mark my words" moments. Seeing how people mostly just walked away from the Capitol after the breach, the more extreme Antifa members are likely to be emboldened on the assumption they don't deserve to be treated any worse than the MAGA terrorists.
I am not a religious person, but if hell exists, there is surely a very special vegan food only place set aside for one Donald J Trump, where no one laughs at his jokes, they keep booking him for public events to which no one shows up, no one strokes his ego, and people tell him he is dumb and a bad person without relent until the end of the age of man.
