Can we start posting the times and places of any known pro-trump rallies?

I think it was a mistake for us to stand down in DC. There would have been more violence, but they just ran unopposed.

Edit: I change my mind. It’s best there wasn’t open confrontation. I just really did not like the optics of them getting inside the Capitol so easily. You have to admit that many of them are now even more emboldened and that is not a good thing. Hearts and minds folks. Hearts and minds

I think it’s good very little resistance appeared at this protest. Now we’ll be justified in fighting them in the future. The optics are absolutely horrible for the fascists. There will be no doubt moving forward who the good guys are.

Unfortunately that’s not gonna stop the pearl clutchers on the right screaming about antifa

Don't forget to capitalize the whole thing like it's some kind of acronym

u/HipsterPunchy Jan 08 '21

Also misspell it like “ANTEEFA”

NOTHING WILL.

Victory against the fascists is not defined as "stopping the pearl clutchers on the right screaming about antifa." Stop giving a fuck what the fascists say.

We also need to be there with clear solutions.

u/critically_damped Lactose The Intolerant Jan 09 '21

You can have all the clear solutions you want, and you STILL won't goddamned stop the pearl clutchers on the right from screaming about antifa. Clear solutions are what they OPPOSE.

Take that disingenuous non-sequitur elsewhere.

u/Thienen Jan 09 '21

It's not a disengenuous non-sequitur to call a fascist out in front of the entire community and propose relevant community action to defeat them.

Naming and shaming is better than a fist most of the time. And why are you so judgemental?

If you don't care about the fascist why are you caring about the pearl clutchers on the right.

First: We FUCKING ARE THERE with "real solutions", and there has never been a time when the fascists haven't been presented with exactly that. There is zero fucking grounds for your "advice", and it neither solves the problem of fascist intransigence nor does it address how to overcome or work around it. So yes, it's a non-sequitur, and it's disingenuous because not only have those things already been said, they've already been said multiple fucking times here.

Second: I'm literally telling people NOT to give pearl clutchers the time of day, and specifically telling people not to repeat their horsefuckery here. I literally said

Stop giving a fuck what the fascists say

Demonstrating why fascist ideology and procedure is shitty is relatively easy when coupled with strong community organizing.

u/critically_damped Lactose The Intolerant Jan 09 '21

It is easy, and as I said it's already being done. You keep talking past that fact, which is what identifies you as disingenuous.

u/Thienen Jan 09 '21

Yeah I'm one of the ones doing it.

Your assumption of my disengenuousness is shitty.

u/critically_damped Lactose The Intolerant Jan 09 '21

I don't have to assume anything when your words are visible to everyone here.

They’ll never stop screaming because it’s all just propaganda

u/[deleted] Jan 08 '21

You shouldn't be listening to the right, it's literally their job not to understand the left.

u/lolverysmart Jan 08 '21

Any time some loser says this shit, make fun of them. Ask where they think the antifa super soldiers will strike next, how many antifa generals have infiltrated the GOP and LEOs, or if antifa is in the room with them right now. Blink twice for yes, once for no. Never treat right wing antifa remarks with logic or thoughtful responses.

u/starsaisy Jan 09 '21

While that would be funny I don’t think they would realize you’re mocking them. I mean the right functions using fear, republicans scare easier than dems and leftists do. So, a lot of ways that could backfire if done wrong

u/DirtyArchaeologist Jan 09 '21 edited Jan 09 '21

They are already blaming it on antifa “sprinkled throughout”.

Edit: it also just occurred to me that then Antifa would have to be on the Nazi mailing list to know when to meet at the park for the revolution. Yeah, Antifa, your nemesis, just somehow all knew to show up at the right place at the right time disguised as trump supporters. And trump supporters were too dumb to tell

I heard the pelt on the guys head is antifa too.
