re: Any of you still support Antifa at this point? They're hateful and violent

Sorry but the two sides are pretty different. The "alt-right" is shitty propaganda where they go march around with fricking Tiki torches and proclaim how they're better than other people. Opinions which 99% of America do not share and is really nothing more than a clown show.

Meanwhile the Antifa crowd literally riots, assaults people, burns down buildings, and clashes with the police.

One side is using free speech, in a fricking poor way I might add.

The other side is literally trying to tear down the seams of society with violent and oppressive actions.

Keep putting your head in the sand in regards to this movement, it's been building steam for a couple years now. They even label themselves as militants for fricks sake.

i'm not talking about direct violence to accomplish this goal

I mean...if one side is louder and/or has more people and that drowns out the other side, that is just the product of the atmosphere surrounding these rallies

that isn't limited to one side, everyone is yelling and trying to be the loudest

Their goal was to counter protest an opposing viewpoint.

to overwhelm the group and shut down their speech

this is not some conspiracy theory. many people in the "protests" stated it and the coordinated-DEM message repeated this

You're arguing against broadbrushing one side by broadbrushing the other side.

GTFO

I don't see anyone here calling all Liberals part of Antifa. I'm simply stating that it's a dangerous movement that is growing heavy support from people on the false pretenses that "White Supremacy" is on the rise, which is ridiculously false.

if it was just a matter of numbers, i wouldn't care

but vitriol, hatred, and the threat of violence is used. that's where things start to cross the line

but only one side is using this method to silence their opposition (as of today)

i'm just calling a spade a spade re: "shutting down speech". i get that they're trying to be clever about it, but that's their goal. the sad part is that many organizing these events and their media mouthpieces actively state that this is the goal, and somehow people are still trying to hide their primary motivation/goal. that's some major propaganda

I agree

mostly because one side is winning the narrative battle

and as of yet, I haven't seen the far left groups hold their own rallies

when they do, you can bet conservatives groups will counter protest

we see this with abortion rallies pretty often, just in smaller numbers

to overwhelm the group and shut down their speech

Speaking louder and in greater numbers isn't "shutting down free speech."

What's your solution to this "problem."

I hate them, I hate marches, I hate protests, I hate all of it.

What do you classify the BLM marches?
