I just found your equating of antifa with nazi's as pretty lazy and the whole denying that Trump isn't the party of nazi's. While not every Trumper is a nazi, it's pretty safe to say that every nazi is a trumper. If not, who are nazi's voting for nowadays?


I dont find much of what the progessive left wants as extreme. Pretty much every other developed country in the world takes for granted what "the far left" is advocating for in the US. Where as the "far right" wants to end democracy and take civil rights back 100 years. Equating the two is just lazy.


comparison aren't equating the two. ironic considered you're comparing trump to hitler in this thread. are you saying trump wants to kill millions of jews? of course not. but nice self own.

and most of what the US takes for granted are a utopia for 3rd world countries. of course u dont find what the progressive left wants extreme tho, big time shocker there.

now be predictable and call me a republican or an apologist.

You're wrong. Also, don't equate Neo-nazi's/Proud boys/White supremacists with Antifa. They are not the same. Antifa for the most part is right wing propaganda made for all the trumpers to point a finger at. Antifa is not an organized group it's a lose connection of ideologies that are against fascists.

Trump WAS the party of white supremacists, racists. That is undeniable. They are only now seeing that Trump has no ideology other than the EGO. We will see where all of the Trumpers go in the next few years.


8chan is completely decentralized, does that mean that the extremists radicalized on its platform aren't a threat?

It is a non-sequitur.

You both said a lot of nothing. Congrats. You set up a false equivalency of antifa with right wing extremists. Just pointing it out.

US has crumbling infrastructure, horrible healthcare, bloated educational costs, a housing crisis. You have no idea what you're talking about really, do you? I have many conservative ideals and liberal ideals, the two are not mutually exclusive unless you're a simpleton(are you?).

What are you even talking about? You're incoherent. It's disingenuous to equate the left wing and right wing in America as polar opposites on a spectrum, such as Bernie Sanders(who is considered a centrist in most other countries) with someone like Mike Pence or Betsy Devos who want to teach creationism and send gays to pray the gay away camps.


The parallels between now and late 1920's/1930's Germany is super enlightening and we can learn a lot from understanding what happened back then.

What you did was create a straw man argument, and try to argue something I'm not even saying.

You implicitly equate the two by comparing them in a way that paints them as polar opposites on a spectrum. Which like I said is pretty false, but that's generally forwarded as a narrative in American politics.

interesting that u say the far left isnt as far right as the far right, but also say just mentioning the two implies they are equally extreme. even tho i didnt say anything of the sort. all i said is neither is pleased with their mainstream representatives.

in any case, antifa in my post was an aside. my main point was about neo nazis and trump, which is where i gave specific examples. as compared to antifa, which was a supporting point to the concept, not an equivalency.
