So your argument is that I cannot discus scientific facts unless I acknowledge every opinion you might have in the exact manner that you see it? And if I don't, then I haven't done any research?
How did I know someone would relate my neutral statements to being pro left? I'm well aware of everything government is doing on both sides. Didn't you notice I mentioned injustices occurring to far right protestors? We're under new leadership and have those injustices changed? No, they've actually intensified. Of any of the Orwellian injustices you mentioned, where did they start? Under Obama? Bush created Homeland Security and the Patriot Act while NSA spying goes back to Clinton. So why did you make the assertion that I was somehow unwilling to discuss 1984 tactics under Obama and therefore uneducated? If you hadn't of read assumptions into my statement you might of found out that I've been advocating for war crime charges to be filed on Obama for five years.
Fact is, Antifa is NOT left. That is not an argument to their passivity or lack of guilt. Nor is it condoning anything they say or do. Politics is a science and the statement is a scientific fact. That's all it is. It's not anti right or pro antifa. Just like the "free speech patriots" are not a part of the alt right. Citizens removing a statue does not fit into 1984's well adopted ideologies of government tyranny. That statement is also not pro antifa. It's simply a statement to the confusion within the post.
I could easily tell you do a bit of research on the largest terrorist organization in the U.S. And guess what? It's not antifa. It's white supremacist organizations. These organizations have long been tracked as being the largest internal threats in our country. Feel free to browse FBI archives on the matter if you don't believe it.
What's interesting is you acknowledge Orwellian practices being conducted by government but then you argue that we have to work within their system to redress our grievances? Would you even be here if our forefathers supported that ideology? Did you not see what happened to tens of thousands of peaceful protectors across the nation when they protested during the Occupy movement? Did you not see how violent police were across the country defending their corporate masters? What has peaceful protesting done to resolve the injustices that have continued to grow? They took the time to divide us into antifa and white supremacist. So now if anyone doesn't outright condemn either side they're told to "do a bit of research."
This is what happened when millions of Americans came together to peacefully protest the corporate take over of our government. Violence. - http://hrp.law.harvard.edu/criminal-justice/suppressing-protest-human-rights-violations-in-the-u-s-response-to-occupy-wall-street/
This is what happens when we adopt an ideology that a violent government can only be dealt with through passivity in the system they control. - http://www.hawaii.edu/powerkills/NOTE1.HTM
Your words sound great and we should never truly give up on striving towards such a peaceful coexistence but there will always be a time when passivity and civility are no longer an option when facing tyranny. By your own admission, that's what we're dealing with. So why should it matter if that same government labels antifa as terrorist when police continue to kill thousands? Or government programs like putting fluoride in the water supply kills tens of thousands? And terrorist attacks by the far right extremist outpace Muslim extremist and are on the rise? Tyranny is always a threat. Activism will always be a critical component to ensuring freedom. And so is the threat of self defense. History has proven all these statements accurate. I do not agree with antifa's methodology but at least they're willing to stand and fight for something. That's far better than the majority of this country that sits back asking government to please give us more freedom and then grumble about them taking more.
Interesting you also brought up black block seeing as how police use the exact same methods. But I guess it's ok for them. In the name of civility...
