Thanks for the heads up. If you think your are going to make it " physically costly" for me to articulate my beliefs I will be ready.

When did so many people turn against America and why do they stay here?

The day the cork finally comes out of the bottle a**holes like this will be crying in their mom’s basements begging the cops to save their miserable hides.

First thing I noticed was the “blogger” used “emergency break”.

Ivy League indeed.

Bray argues for an intersectional antifascism that “has no tolerance for ‘intolerance.’” He refuses the liberal notion that, when an argument reaches an impasse, we must “agree to disagree” with fascists. Instead, he writes that the antifascist stance “is not against violence, incivility, discrimination, or disrupting speeches in the abstract, but against those who do so in the service of white supremacy, hetero-patriarchy, class oppression, and genocide.” Thus antifascists are not interested in bridging the divide so that fascists can blend into a liberal veneer, but in disrupting their organizing by any means necessary. Bray writes, “We may not always be able to change someone’s beliefs, but we sure as hell can make it politically, socially, economically, and sometimes physically costly to articulate them.”

CWII is here. There is no negotiating or "peaceful" resolution with people who are hell bent on destroying our way of life.

All you need to know. Fruitcake.

Mark Bray, the author of “Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook” and visiting professor at the Gender Research Institute at Dartmouth, appeared in dozens of television interviews after the Antifa movement gained national traction following deadly clashes in Charlottesville, Va. earlier in August. Bray supported Antifa’s violence, dubbing it “self-defense” and a “legitimate response” to what he termed white supremacist and neo-Nazi violence.

In any other country or any other time, they would be dying in the streets right now. Our civility is their only strength.

One day soon, we will abandon that and become pragmatic and they will have created the fascists they think they see now. Just as they (the Communists) did in post WW1 Germany when they insisted that Germans either choose transnational socialism or Germany.

Fascists masquerading as anti-fascists. How novel. How noble. What utter claptrap.

“That which does not kill me only makes me stronger”

OK Mark, I’m your huckleberry.

If Abby Hoffman and Michael Bakunin were still alive they could sue for theft of intellectual property.

1969 - and they stayed long enough to take over most of our institutions.

Trotsky was not a physically imposing man. That didn’t stop him from being responsible for millions of deaths.
