The Coming Terror
Steyn On-line ^ | September 1, 2017 | Mark Steyn

Posted on 09/01/2017 1:53:38 PM PDT by Twotone

Most of the news bulletins I'm exposed to are on the radio, as I'm tootling around hither and yon. So it took me a while to discover that what the media call "peace activists", "anti-racists" and "anti-Nazis" are, in fact, men and women garbed in black from head to toe, including face masks. Thus, as I pointed out on the radio last month, the violence on American streets derives from today's paramilitary wing of the Democrat Party - antifa - working itself up over yesterday's paramilitary wing of the Democrat Party - the Ku Klux Klan. Both have stupid pseudo-exotic self-romanticizing names and, as many commentators have observed, both have strict dress codes intended to conceal their identities. From white sheets to black bandanas is a mere fashion evolution: the purpose is the same - to do ugly things one could not confidently do with one's face known to all.

Yet, as disturbing as antifa is, its romanticization by the respectable classes is even worse. My swaggeringly obtuse compatriot Warren "Catsmeat" Kinsella tweeted:

'Antifa' is short for anti-fascist. The only ones who should oppose antifa are fascists.

Americans could form “AntiCom” to fight Communists.

Anyone who opposes AntiCom is a Communist.

I LOVE this man’s writing, but his website is tortuous sometimes.

Still, I endure for the rich reward that awaits.

Both brought to you by the Democrat Party. Full-circle fashion-wise - white sheets to black garb.

They just haven’t attacked the right group yet. One with a plan to drag them back behind the lines and beat the tar out of them one at a time.

So violent thugs who "have, to date, killed no one" are peace activists, and peaceful citizens who made the mistake of voting for Trump are the real violent threat.

Inevitably they are going to start a fight with the wrong group. And the ensuing ass-kicking will be glorious.

Antifaschistische Aktion — abbreviated as Antifa (German/Dutch/English) — is a militant anti-fascist network in Germany.

“Americans could form “AntiCom” to fight Communists.”

We have a representative government. We, The People, are not allowed by that government, and our adherence to it, to take violent action except in self defense. Even that is somewhat limited depending on where you live and what your local government is like. We The People must convince our representative government to use the ample tools We The People have given them with out tax dollars. Even the local police are armed with military style weapons. What the local governments have lacked is effective leadership. I see that beginning to change, slowly. Even Democrats are recognizing the inherent danger of allowing Antifa to take over the streets. (The danger they see is entirely to their rule, but nonetheless, they do see danger. That recognition will, eventually, protect all of us.)
