WTF? How is this even an argument for anybody with a semblance of objectivity.

The Antifa/BLM people were clearly engaged in mutual combat with the Neo Nazis. They were being just as violent. They looked like mirror images of each other... both with helmets, bats, pepper spray, etc. Obviously that one Neo Nazi took it to the next level with running his car into the crowd, but there was mutual violence on both sides.

There was absolutely no reason for there to be violence. So the Neo Nazis had a little protest. Their views are ridiculous. So what? Who cares? Let them have their little rally and that's it.

There was absolutely no reason for Antifa to show up. They were looking to stir up violence.



The whole idea that there was only one side to the violence is absolutely retarded. People who say that are straight-up lying. And they try to defend it by saying "well they were Nazis!!!". So what? Even Nazis are protected by the 1st amendment.

It's not. Anyone making that argument is not being objective at all.

There was only one side. The Neo Nazis were fighting themselves.

Also... another thing...

Americans who fought actual Nazis in WWII, who are mostly white men, would be called racists by these Antifa people if they were alive today.

The Americans who fought actual Nazis have zero in common with these left-wing nutballs.

You just killed your own argument.

Truly, the only "one side" who is right in this is the majority of us who denounce both sides absolutely equally.

BLM murders cops. BLM people walk around holding signs that say "Kill Whitey". They're all over the place.

The media is evil, and they are biased. The media's disgusting bias will only create more Nazis.

How did I kill my own argument.

And I do denounce both sides equally. But I'm not sure that is the majority viewpoint.

Actually, anybody making that argument is a fricking idiot.

The next time some frickwit drops this asinine argument, politely point out that if there was only one side then that means the driver who killed that woman is a member of ANTIFA.

The media and so many others are upset that Trump condemned violence from "all sides". The left, and even some of the right, are saying "there is only one side!" They are acting like it's wrong to condemn Antifa for their role in what happened in Charlottesville.

Do you see the irony in making this statement in the same post as saying another group shouldn't have been allowed to raise their voice?

Frankly, I respect the right of both to have their little sing alongs but wish both would voluntarily choose to shut up.

And what about the "white lives matter" rally announced shortly after this recent fiasco?

With Antifa vs the Alt Right, they're really ideologically on the same side. It's just the Alt-Right is into white identity politics, while Antifa is for every other identity politics ie: frick white people. They're all trash and Antifa are no better than these Neo-Nazis.

All shitheads from all sides. So they are on the same side: the shithead side. We non-shitheads need to band together and tell them that violent identity politics has no place in our country.

This little beauty has been making its rounds on my FB feed:







Are people actually supporting ANTIFA? Or do they truly believe they don't exist/weren't present?

I do not support the KKK in the least bit. In fact, their hi-jack of the Confederate battle flag pisses me off at them even more than most. However, their insignicant yet legal protest was countered by a large group as well as somewhat countered by the City of Charlottesville (withdrawing the first permit and then withdrawing police presence). These little twerps egged the KKK on and rightfully met retalliation from the KKK.
Sure, Trump was at fault for pointing out the counter protestors were wrong, too. We ain't seen nothing yet folks!

So glad I've yet to turn on a news channel the past few days.

Toxic is an understatement.
