Are you ever going to acknowledge how the police caused this anger? What they need to do to change? You are one, shouldn't you be wondering why people hate you so much and what you can do it improve your relationship with the people?

There is no line you can draw to connect anger over police brutality and burning a homeless man's belongings. This video isn't any form of protest, it's cruelty performed under the cover of riots done by people with the knowledge that they can probably get away with it. Don't drag down a legitimate social movement by associating it with these psychopaths.

As a reminder, China passed their new "security law" that they're forcing on Hong Kong late last week. I'm sure this is a total coincidence....

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-52877411
Hong Kong police have banned a vigil marking the Tiananmen Square crackdown for the first time in 30 years.

Authorities said the decision was due to health concerns over coronavirus.

However, there are fears this may end the commemorations, as China seeks to impose a new law making undermining its authority a crime in the territory.

Antifa is every single one of those groups. I don't deny that. But it's all plenty of other groups and basically anyone that is anti-fascist.

There is no valid reason to fly the Confederate flag, but plenty of good reasons to be Antifa, which can easily be done non-violently.

Just because people want to be stupid and pretend they can lump it together as a singular group with a singular view doesn't make it true. There is incentive to de-legitimize anti-facists. Don't act like Trump is acting in good faith with good intentions and approves of the very fine examples. He isn't intelligent enough to make that distinction.

Then don't fly their flag. Now you can be anti fascist all you want without openly associating yourself with groups whose explicit goal is violence. This isn't complicated.

Are anarchists a specific group because people can draw the symbol? If I fly an American flag and say I represent Americans, am I all of America?

Stop. You're making the same argument that people who fly the Confederate flag make when they insist that they are not racist just because other racists fly it.

People flying the antifa flag have a long history of violence. Groups that represent themselves with the antifa label specifically go to events with the stated goal of using violence to get their way. You can be anti fascist without flying that flag, but the moment you pick it up you are knowingly supporting a collection of groups that have a stated goal of violent uprising.

As I pointed above, and as linked and referenced by Wikipedia, there are number of organizations that track hate and violence groups that specifically recognize antifa as one such group. We are well beyond the point of claiming ignorance as to what being antifa means.

But Antifa isn't an organization with a leader, it's just an amorphous group with it's own flag, 200 or so chapters in the United States, various organisers, and a Manifesto. That could be anyone!

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifa_(United_States)
The antifa movement has grown since the 2016 presidential election and, as of August 2017, approximately 200 groups existed, of varying sizes and levels of activity.

According to Brian Levin, director of the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at the California State University, San Bernardino, antifa activists feel the need to participate in violent actions because "they believe that elites are controlling the government and the media. So they need to make a statement head-on against the people who they regard as racist".

A Washington Post book review reports: "Antifa tactics include 'no platforming,' i.e. denying their targets the opportunity to speak out in public; obstructing their events and defacing their propaganda; and, when antifa activists deem it necessary, deploying violence to deter them."

According to National Public Radio, antifa's "approach is confrontational," and "people who speak for the Antifa movement acknowledge they sometimes carry clubs and sticks"

In June 2017, the antifa movement was linked to "anarchist extremism" by the New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness

China has drafted a new security law that it is forcing on Hong Kong that effectively ends the "two systems, one country" system and will allow them to both arrest people for speaking up against the government, and maintain their own police force in Hong Kong so they can drag people back to the mainland.

They also recently made it illegal to make fun of the national anthem, and elected a new Pro China leader of the Hong Kong parliament by having Security Forces drag everyone who would vote no out of the room, lock the door, and then vote anyway.

how does any of that justify settlements trumper?

They're only "settlements" if you pretend it hasn't been their land for 50 years. It also ignores the fact that, according to the oslo accords, who owns that land isn't even supposed to be determined until the final stages of a peace agreement, meaning even if you absolutely insist that it isn't their land, the very agreement between both parties means that isn't isn't THEIR land either, nor will that be formally determined until the final stages of an agreement.

But you'd have to know history to know that, and it's pretty clear you don't.

This will go the same way that every other protest has gone. An initial set of demands will be met, and the people who wanted them will fade away while new people move to the front of the movement with bigger, grander demands in the hope of riding the momentum. Eventually things will fizzle out as the general population distances themselves further and further from the new crazy people at the top, and people will spend the next ten years debating about what the movements was ever really about.

s0nicfan
05/29/20 2:37:41 PM

According to the internet:
It's a tradition where it was intended for young audiences to yell the attack names with the character. The tradition began with Mazinger Z, which is considered the first Super Robot anime. The producers of the show felt that if the main character, Kouji Kabuto, shouted out the attack names each time the mecha did them, then it would give the target viewers, who were aged around 3 to 10 at the time, the ability to literally join along in the fun.

The logic behind this is if the kids were to directly interact with a show they already liked, then they'd like it even more and would stick with the show in the long run. Needless to say, the strategy worked, and literally all other mecha anime in the 70's (sans First Gundam in late, late '79) copied the trend.

Thus, the tradition was born and still anime shows, regardless of whether they are mecha themed or not, use it, regardless of their target audience.
