I agree that fascists are many levels worse but when I look at the streets with all the violence antifa does not not look good at all. Antifa is said to come from Europe. They are quite violent here in Europe too.

who is antifa? you put a label on random people, who says they are antifa? they are a lot plus being antifa - because this is of course an antifascistoid movement the peaceful demonstrations are also against fascistoid structures in police. its hilarious, you call them antifascists while you don’t even know, because some gangs use demonstrations to riot - could even be rightwing people using the situation to create hate. its just a stupid fingerpointing game. and you obviously do the same without asking any questions - maybe because it suits you right to suppress those who try to protect their democratic rights.

by the way it’s also an insult to the american soldiers fighting and dying in worldwar second.

You are again wrong. You have assumptions of me that has not much to do with reality. I don't watch TV at all. At yt I watch maybe 1% Fox news. 

I remember you said you are a socialist. 

I said it seems like you watch sensationalized media that is FoxNews-like. Your ideology is reflective of that type of media. To me, you don’t have a broad, balanced view of America’s politics. You are free to disagree and dismiss my impressions.

I am not a socialist and never said I was. Please don’t do that.

Who is antifa and are they violent: Let's ask wikipedia: 

"Antifa activists engage in protest tactics such as digital activism and militancy, involving property damage, physical violence and harassment against fascists, racists and those on the far-right.[25]"

Seems like they are not so peaceful:

Btw. respect for the american soldiers fighting fascism and "socialism" (USSR, they called themself antifascist) in the cold war.

It isn't uncommon, when fighting monsters, to become oneself a monster.

It's a similar dynamic to how atheists get so passionate about denouncing the idiocy of religious fundamentalists that themselves become fundamentalist about atheism and materialism.

You can't just do the opposite of those you hate, you must go meta to truly resolve it.

Are there some violent stage Green people who fall into this trap? Of course! But they are not respresentative of Green. Just as Nazis are not representative of Blue.

because it has become a fashion to wear dark clothes on a demonstration does not make a person an antifascist. you compare optical appearance... fascists also used to wear black clothing.

by the way without using some kind of force the nazis in germany and fascists in italy would not have been defeated.

This can be very challenging, yet also very rewarding.

It seems meta to ‘love vs. hate’ is Love.

Ok you convinced me with your sources and links. Now we don't have to believe in other sources like wikipedia. We believe they are peaceful.

Actually I watched the last year probably 90% center left to far left. Lately I watch Vaush a lot because he is entertaining. It might be because I like science fiction and opposing views.

It might be that you are  biased when it comes to academia. I remember you said you are a socialist.

I think outside research and questioning can be handy. Although upon asking inwardly we tend to get deeper, richer and more profound insight and clarity of the answer we're looking for.

Thank you. This is enlightening. 

When the patient asks the doctor if he has cancer this is the perfect answer from the doctor I guess.

Honestly, I'm not being sarcastic right now, just give in to this...you just admitted you are the patient, I'm a patient in the biggest sense you can imagine.  You have so much anger and frustration now, and you came to this forum for a reason.  Just let it be, accept it...what do you have to lose?  No one even knows who you are.  Don't you want to be happier?  I do.

no, but i‘m not a doctor i also don’t get payed to heal you... i‘m just trying to make you aware about how you are getting used by deceiving yourself, if you are not awake you are used like a marionette ventrilouized for people with ulterior motives.

Protect your culture. The west is the best! Obviously.

All cultures willl eventually collide. You are holding onto nothing.

Keep in mind that you only think that The West is best because you are born here. If you were asian, you would think that The East is the best.
