This whole meme stuff is silly.

And ANTIFA isn't? The black bloc isn't? SJW pc'ness isn't?

The antiTrump Left calls itself "the Resistance". Resistance signals a departure from non-violent protest...

You'll no longer find the streets empty. Only this time, you're the blackbrown shirts.

Well, what's the point of say being anti-antifa? Would that make you pro-fa? You think black people have no causes for grievance? SJW? Isn't that just some derogatory made up by righties who have tremendously important issues in their lives like, "Hey! How come I can't say the N word?"

The level of violence and aggression is minuscule with these handful of people you're complaining about. A few broken windows and noses is NOTHING by any historical standards. "SJW," "BLM," whatever, are no threat to you or anyone. And putting the fascist or totalitarian stamp on the Left over stuff like "political correctness" and "safe spaces" for whiny college kids, is just stupid. And you know it's just puerile sophistry. The ol' con bait 'n switch. There is a real threat of fascism in this country, but it can only come from the right. It's just the way it is here. Always has. You'd be a liar to deny it.

We're sick of funding your do-gooding. It's time that you took responsibility for your own "charity" work. We'll no longer allow you to bankrupt the nation so that you can pretend that you love humanity, and demonstrate it by "punching faux Nazi's.

Thersites said...

...aka - people sick of your outrageously puerile behavior".

Trump is more anti-globalism and for dismantling the capitalist structures of oppression than any politician before him. You should be thanking him and his supporters, not attacking them. If the "system" represents the forces of structural violence and discriminiation, you should be a Trumper.

Thersites said...

Instead, you defend the billionare corporatist "Soros" class. Well done, guardian of the globalist!

Thersites said...

Tax the Middle class to feed the poor. Let the globalists stash their corporate profits in Switzerland!

Thersites said...

What you don't seem to get is that "populists" aren't supporting the status quo structurally discriminating system anymore. YOU are!

It wasn't the Trumpers who showed up at an ANTIFA demonstration. The ANTIFAs are looking to fight fascists, by labeling the Trumpers "fascists" and then punching THEM. They wouldn't know a fascist if he bit them.

Today, the systemic "symbolic violence" against minorities is almost entirely perpetrated by Democrats. Look what Democrats have done to our educational institutions. Crippling the next generation in order to supply "patronage" to the present one (so-called "teachers")
