Topic | Rioters burn homeless man's belongings |
s0nicfan 06/01/20 11:29:23 AM #5 | legendary_zell posted... 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. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

s0nicfan 05/31/20 6:28:20 PM #24 | MarieSchrader posted... 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. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

Topic | #iamAntifa is trending |
s0nicfan 05/31/20 6:03:15 PM #18 | 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 --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

s0nicfan 05/31/20 5:48:46 PM #4 | 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. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

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.
