Hi, monsters!
Monsters cannot be announced. One cannot say: 'Here are our monsters,' without immediately turning the monsters into pets.
― Jacques Derrida
I suppose I should say 'Y'all my pets,' but we've known that all along. But since you're discussing those squirrelly little deconstructionist Antifa's, I just thought I should bring the Master deconstructionist along to drive home my points.

This is how to fight Nazis
So Antifa being the muscle to get the Nazi's into power in the 30's, yeah, you fight Antifa the way you fight their Nazi masters. Dehumanizing people is indeed a favorite tool of Antifa. And Antifa would come after you if they knew you were calling them "Patriots." They are most decidedly antipatriotism. Sorry to burst your romantic fantasy, (And if you believe THAT. . . .) American Antifa has it's roots in a group that called itself 'Burn America to the Ground.'
Deconstructionism is the idea that you just destroy everything then you're free to put whatever you want in place. In practice it's like the scorpion that stings the frog that is carrying it across the river. Too stupid to realize it will die, too.
. . . .the use of violent measures by antifa against their adversaries can create a vicious, self-defeating cycle of attacks, counter-attacks and blame. This is why most established civil rights organizations criticize antifa tactics as dangerous and counterproductive.

And their adversaries are anyone who is NOT Antifa. If Antifa, or the Proud Bois, show up in your neighborhood, you will cower in fear, tough guy. If you get to the window and push yourself against the wall under the window, that's the hardest place for them to see looking in. But do try to keep from shaking too much as you hold your phone up and get me a picture.
antifa were captured on video harassing Trump supporters with no known extremist connections. Antifa have also falsely characterized some recent right wing rallies as “Nazi” events, even though they were not actually white supremacist in nature. All forms of antifa violence are problematic.
Another concern is the misapplication of the label “antifa” to include all counter-protesters, rather than limiting it to those who proactively seek physical confrontations with their perceived fascist adversaries.
-Anti Defamation League
The Anti Defamation League would like you to help point out Antifa. "Doing so allows law enforcement to focus their resources on the minority who engage in violence without curtailing the civil rights of the majority of peaceful individuals who just want their voices to be heard." I know you want to daydream of how FUN it would be to be one of them. I start to say that would only make you a bad guy, but I realize that doesn't bother you at all.
verbal and physical assaults. . .other violent tactics include throwing projectiles, including bricks, crowbars, homemade slingshots, metal chains, water bottles, and balloons filled with urine and feces. They have deployed noxious gases, pushed through police barricades, and attempted to exploit any perceived weakness in law enforcement presence.
Away from rallies, they also engage in “doxxing,” exposing their adversaries’ identities, addresses, jobs and other private information. This can lead to their opponents being harassed . . . among other consequences.

Please desist from posting in my thread.
You don't HAVE a thread. You think you'd be allowed to drag so many threads here into your personal mudpit if someone owned them and could kick you out? As though you can tell Mr. Z he's too uplifting and honest for your tastes and you can banish him.
Certain readers resented-me when they could no longer recognize their territory.
