The stupidity of Antifa

The article below contains interviews with some Antifa members. It is hard to believe that they can be this stupid. One of the main objections to fascism is their animus towards free speech. This is what an Antifa members says:

“We don’t think fascism deserves free speech,” Bonnie said. “You give a platform to fascism, they will kill you. We want to shut that down before we get killed.”

Of course, this corresponds exactly to what a fascist would DO to the free speech rights of their opponents (although they would publicly deny such an intent) and it is completely lost on this fool. Someone should tell Antifa that the First Amendment exists to protect unpopular speech. You cannot convict or accuse others of a crime in advance of the crime as well.

The two sides are not equivalent; Hitler, Mussolini were fascists. Almost nothing compares to them. Antifa, in a country where the police in Berkeley, for example, are NOT tools of the fascists, only get in the way of justice and in fact, give actual fascists some cover when the fascists then generalize about their opposition. The tactic that will be used by White Nationalists, the KKK, neo-Nazis and others will be to paint all their opponents as free speech haters such as Antifa. And it will work to a large degree.

Thanks for nothing.

The son of Netanyahu has a fan in David Duke!

This article will make your head spin! The son (Yair Netanyahu) of Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, apparently posted on his Facebook page an image that "appeared to be a local take on a classic anti-Semitic cartoon suggesting that Jews control the United States. It has appeared widely on extreme right websites. In this instance, it depicted his father’s perceived foes: American Jewish billionaire philanthropist and investor George Soros, outspoken former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak, activist Eldad Yaniv and Meni Naftali, a former housekeeper for the Netanyahus who successfully sued them for mistreatment."

This is a classic antisemitic meme, in this case tailored to attack PM Netanyahu's opponents which include Ehud Barak and other bogeymen such as George Soros. The fact that it falsely attacks Jews other than Netanyahu does not change the fact it is a bigoted fake news meme. How can we be sure of this? David Duke tweeted “Welcome to the club, Yair — absolutely amazing, wow, just wow.” If it has David Duke's seal of approval, you know it's wrong. But Duke was restrained compared to the so-called President loving Daily Stormer: “Yair Netanyahu is a total bro,” Andrew Anglin wrote in the neo-Nazi Daily Stormer. “Next he’s going to call for gassings.” Read it all in the article linked below.

Apologists for the extreme right, who typically support the right wing Netanyahu, will claim that this isn't bigotry - George Soros and his cronies really DO control the U.S. It's just fact they'll say. Then they'll say that criticizing Netanyahu is the real antisemitism! Their brains are so twisted.

What could have lead a 19 year old Israeli to think this post was OK? Stupidity? His parents influence? Did you know that Israeli police are readying a criminal indictment of Mrs. Netanyahu for personal corruption? What a family! I'm sure this was just a terrible misunderstanding. Yeah, right.

Does the KKK love the so-called President?

Written August 23, 2017 on Facebook

One of the things supporters of the so-called President are saying, and that he said at his rally, is that he criticized hate groups like the KKK and neo-Nazis in his statements. They overlook his waffling in other parts of his statements of course, but they point to some things he said and claim it means he is not a bigot.

But what do the actual bigots really think?

Washington Post: "Less than a half-hour after Trump’s live remarks, the Daily Stormer had declared the president’s words as a signal of tacit support for their side: 'Trump comments were good. He didn’t attack us. He just said the nation should come together. Nothing specific against us.'

And David Duke - he GUSHED over the so-called President!

So here is what the supporters are saying; "we don't care if the KKK and neo-Nazis feel that the so-called President supported them or feel that he has their backs. We believe whatever the so-called President tells us..."
