I don't like Antifa, but I really don't have a problem with them winning in a fight against Proud Boys.

The problem is neither of these should be a thing

Go tell your fairy godmother to make them all go away then.

You consider it beneficial that racists feel empowered to rally to the extent an opposing force feels it necessary to counteract them? I guess I don't think that's a great thing to be happening

Ah, you actually understand that antifa only arises as a thing when there are fascists. That's very astute.

Sounds like you live in a fairytale where those racists haven't existed for hundreds of years. Kinda adorable, but since they have actually existed for a very long time I'm not gonna balk that there's finally something to take the fight to them that has only existed for like what, 5 years? How long has Antifa been out there in American streets punching nazis? Not a long time.

just because someone scares you doesnt make attacking them self defence

that... is not what I was saying at all

what are you saying?

Fascism is an inherently violent ideology and anyone who follows it is an inherent threat to anyone who would be marginalized under fascism. This includes, but is not necessarily limited to: women, people of colour, religious minorities, LGBT+ people, and people with any sort of disability.

Fascists, because they follow such an ideology, are inherently instigating regardless of any specific action on their part.

For any of those groups, any action taken against a fascist is self-defense

But everyone should have free speech.

And if you punch one of those guys then they go home and dont change their beliefs. Maybe it will even radicalize them. But if you debate them you can change them.

this has nothing to do with free speech. even if it did, fascists' free speech is less important than the lives of the people they threaten (and again, they threaten those people just by existing)

making fascists afraid to go outside is indisputably a good thing. if no fascist could safely step outside again, the world would be a much better place

also you are incorrect about debate. it's not an effective tool for... anything really. deplatforming them and attacking them physically are both far more effective for neutralizing them as a threat

now I have addressed all your points. please don't move the goalposts again

I wonder how many people join proud boys and antifa just for the fighting, and don't really give a crap about the cause

I honestly believe that most of the people that give Antifa a bad name are Anarchists who latch on for the violence.

Which wouldn't have happened if the first boy wouldn't have charged at him. The act of fighting precipitated the violence, not the bottle throw.

You thought wrong.

The article says it missed and it was also after the proud boy charged.

I have no idea what Ryuko was going for but using this logic

The proud boys charging the antifa wasn't the initiation.
Missing with the bottle wasn't the initiation.
The proud boy crashing into the protestors was first contact and the initiation.

This wouldnt have happened if a bunch of people didnt show up to protest in full masks, stalk the guys after the event and block the path. You can see in the video they were clearly in a line blocking a path, they were instigating the hell out of this.

And then the dude charged at them. Sorry bro, gleefully initiating a fight doesn't make for a solid case of self defense.

as I said, I'm more willing to engage kaname like this, because again, if I recall correctly, they're like 15

I got a lot of toxic ideas from this place when I was around that age that took me a long time to unlearn, and if nothing else, I want to try to couteract that

That's what you get for thinking. Article clearly said that they charged at the protestors first before any PLASTIC bottle was thrown and missed.

people are more receptive to info that supports their narrative and quicker to criticize and reject info that contradicts.

but it takes a certain level of ignorance to be this irrationally indignant when active Fascist get that ass whooped. sympathizers are only a couple steps from being traitors themselves.
