I honestly don't think they put off many people, but they don't do much in the grand scheme anyway

most of the protesters aren't revolutionaries

Antifa isn't communist

They're anarchists and liberals

Not to mention they're not an actual organization

Oh they put off a lot of people

why wouldn't they? attacking people while covering your cowardly face is pathetic

I doubt they just attack random people

also it is not cowardly to cover your face

lol did you see the bike lock attack or the woman getting sprayed in the face?

the man getting hit on the head with a chunk of wood when he was down?

If you're not doing anything wrong you shouldn't cover your face

no I didn't see those two incidents.

They don't think they do anything wrong but they understand that the state thinks they do something wrong

hence they want anonymity

Well then they're simply wrong

No one cares about some larping anarchist, just don't go around creating havoc in public

they want to do something and show that "anarchism lives" or whatever

doesn't make htem wrong

also depends on which antifas we're talking about

the european ones tend to also actually fight hte popo

I'd classify breaking other people's property and throwing stones at other people as wrong

I was thinking "wrong" as factually not morally

I can understand your position when you think it's not okay

And I can't if you do think it's okay to wreck my car because I parked it before you decided to chimp out

the golden rule is essential

I don't think it's useful to do

golden rule?

treat others as you would like to be treated

when they trash a car I doubt htey do it to hurt the owner

unless it's a very expensive car

then they might I guess

I don't think I'd care if it was my car

all I'm left with is a burned out car

well hopefully you have insurance

if antifas were to sit down and talk about damaging personal property of regular people, I can almost guarantee that they would conclude it's not okay

The intent doesn't matter at all

It's me that's fucked because some morons decided to LARP as an anarchist

well yeah, but does this serve as a critique of antifa as an organization, which they really aren't

Yeah, if you organize rallies (which almost always end in riots) your organization is fucked

and the people who would go to such an event
