Anyone else watching this?

There's like three "Nazi" speakers mildly rambling about about free speech and 100+ Antifa protesting them with a big banner implying they want to shoot people.

Really making themselves look sympathetic.

So the 20 man strong Unite the Right rally showed up, gave their boring speeches, and then left. Counter protesters are now having a "victory" march with chants about ICE and Palestine, because the left loves protests with confusing and unfocused messages.

Any trash cans knocked over or store windows broken? Cus it's not a leftist protest if there are no trash cans knocked over or store windows broken.

Nah, Antifa smoke bombed themselves at one point though and they had a small clash with police after UtR left.

There was like a dozen Antifa yelling "Hold the line!" while the cops were shoving them around and yelling at them. It was very dramatic.

Why is white people doing white things racist when for everyone else it's celebrating culture?

Whites doing anything less than getting on their hands and knees and begging PoC for forgiveness for their skin color is bigoted as fuck, you fucking racist.

Cause white people as a whole really don't have culture. Germans have culture. Irish have culture. Scandanavians have culture. But as a collective, there's not much "white" culture.

Not my opinion exactly, but an objective thought on the matter.

Don't Haiti and the Congo have drastically different cultures?

That's where it gets tricky. Due to the treatment of non-whites in the past, it's for some reason made it easier for groups of like, but not identical people to band together without much thought about it. Due to the treatment of say, any vaguely hispanic looking person in America's past, those groups were able to find more commonality than white groups.

Does that make it okay for some and not for others? According to society, yes. I've personally always had a disdain for culture exclusivity and think that identity coming from a birthtrait is a boring way to live, but that's my two cents. People should be prideful of what makes them an individual, not a demographic.

Because the only thing white people share is a history of conquering lands.

Given the fallout from the previous event, turnout was bound to be far lower, tbh.

Given that Antifa is fascistic in nature, it just sounds like you're on the Unite the Right side twice.

If they wanted to hate on Israel, they could have just done it with the Unite the Right guys. Hell, Antifa and UtR could have got together in a Unite the Antisemites rally, because nothing brings together racists like ranting about Israel.

The silly part of that argument is that (overlooking that other groups are also fragmented in the same way) "white culture" is everywhere, partly because colonialism and imperialism spread it along with western innovation across the globe. You *can* celebrate white entertainment and white music as easily as black or Latino entertainment or music. And, of course, all cultures have had outside influences. Jazz, for instance, originated in the black community but came about thanks to European instruments (and, I suppose, influences) and then has been adopted by other cultures who have their own version.

So do the Irish and post-empire Italians share camaraderie with non-whites in how they were conquered by British Imperialism?
