The only thing worse than a Fascist, is an Anti-Fascist.

Keep wondering when the PC crowd will go after Minecraft’s “creepers” for mocking and offending muslim suicide bombers.

I’m not talking about those who don’t like fascists. But people who call themselves “Anti-Fascists” are Communists, and they pretty much behave in the exact manner of that which they claim to oppose.

Same goes for “Anti-Racists”.

Communists using doublespeak try to equate nationalism as fascism to promote international communism. They are the supreme examples of fascist rule. They are not anti fascists.

But to them, everyone who disagrees with them is a "Fascist."

The French Left doesn't like the clarity of the mirror, that's all.

The truth hurts, chapter 902,141:

...which sees him as a role model.

Between the Reign of Terror and the Vendee War , Robespierre and the Jacobins were goal goal oriented psychopathic mass murderers no less than the communists they influenced or the Nazis.

Splinter Cell is better than Assassin’s Creed. It’s all about being sneaky and assassinating people.
