Not to undo any of the good will I built up by blasting Trump last topic, but you guys really haven't heard of Antifa before?

Like you just missed the part where they started violent riots in Berkley just to shut down Milo's speech? Featuring hitting some woman in the head with a pole?

Like I said, there was a time to criticize Antifa and name them and make the public aware of them. But to do it in the same breath as you're criticizing the Nazis who KILLED SOMEONE is fucking poor form.

I'm way behind on the topic and too tired to catch up atm, but in case this wasn't discussed further I was asking "Who are Antifa and how do you identify them?" repeatedly to Ulti and Wang because they seem like a convenient scapegoat that is very easily exaggerated.

Seriously, how do you identify and separate them from your regular anti-Nazi protesters?

I spend a lot of time on Weirdbook (it's a dumb Facebook culture thing), and I see videos of "Antifa" being shared by people across the spectrum, and it's always these super scrawny, terribly spoken, awkward young people who brag about their "training" and their "guns" in such a way that I feel like they can't be real, or there is some sort of bandwagon element going on with kids trying to be cool "bashing fascists".

Seriously, go to Facebook and search "antifa training" and you'll find a bunch of different videos reminiscent of that one fucking LARPing video with the "Magic missile! Magic Missile!" from forever ago.
