As a person who didn't marry a white person, I do find it to be fucking disgusting that this is a thing
What are some things to show to a person that displays ANTIFA are NOT good boys who do nothing wrong?
Like, a few solid news stories
the berkeley one where they beat a dude unconscious
g20
I stuff to show to Lefty apologists
I didnt win people over with that though
are these people your friends?
Im on a lefty server and they see Antifa as legit hero freedom fighters fighting fascists
and its frustrating
oh, you may not have much success tbh
Maxists, DemSocs and some SocDems will go with personal experience over data when it suits them
I won someone over via empathy
you need to find like every bad story with the proud boys and provide like 2-3 for antifa
Beemann gets it. Alot of people on the left simply don't think with reason. They think in empathy.
It sounds silly, but it's true.
Be sure to bring up the one where they clubbed the Bernie supporter.
Or when they just razed Berkeley after Ben Shapiro showed up.
They might not like Ben Shapiro, but Ben isn't paying for all the broken windows in Berkeley. It's the generally left-leaning working class people of Berkeley who pay the price.
I have heard (but lack any good citations and don't know the validity of the data) that ANTIFA loves to attack construction projects in San Francisco. So much so that they fight housing developments (which include low income housing) more than they attack the alt-right.
If you can find something on that last point, it could be a nice window on the "boring" stuff antifa tends to actually do.
Saw someone on Twitter saying that antifa only focuses their violence against property. When I pointed out some specific examples I was told I was spreading dubious alt-right propaganda. When i provided video footage it was "why are you running defense for the alt-right"
sounds like you're talking to a <:NPC:500042527231967262>

the Atlantic kinda picking apart journalistic standards of other publications in relation to the most recent "white male rage" wave of articles
**Not important and quite long read but some might find it interesting like me who didn't read any of the white male rage articles**
"I’m open to any careful, rigorous argument. But the prevailing approach fails that standard. Many journalists are producing articles that presume rather than show the truth of a poorly defined thesis that much of the audience rightly regards as unproven at best; they are defining rage down at times to mean mere discernible anger; and their work shows no evidence of seeking critical feedback from skeptics."
**"What’s more, their current approach undermines long-standing, hard-won norms against casually attributing to an entire race or gender behavior pegged to an individual or displayed by some percentage of its members."**
Well, depending on who you ask "white male rage" ended a global conflict.
hostage situation in cologne
multiple witnesses said something about gunshots and smoke
meanwhile the police says "all untrue" ...
they say someone set a girl on fire inside a mc donalds
i wouldn't put it past German police to hide and lie about this
hopefully the truth comes out
and i like how the police said in german "a hostage situation did take place"
