Comments by "Rob McCune" (@robm6645) on "The Myth of the "Violent Left"" video.

  1. It will be interesting to see how this lands today now that the right is starting to push the "both sides" false equivalency about Charlottesville.

  2. There is no such thing as "alt-left."

  3. Andrew Macintyre No, white nationalism is on the rise because of white nationalist internet propaganda that got big 3 years ago. Antifa only showed up after Trump got elected, and he won the Republican nomination on a platform that appeals to white nationalists. As far as I know antifa can't time travel to create white nationalists before they actually started doing damage.

  4. You didn't watch the video. The argument is that violence isn't unique to the left, there is more violence on the right, and there is more mainstream promotion and acceptance of violence on the right. All of those things are true.

  5. Too late.

  6. You're making a false equivalence between terrorists who are murdering people and a few hooligans. You are also making excuses for not confronting the ideology of the alt-right. Saying this is a non-issue because the other side throws punches is a bullshit narrative that the white supremacists are using to justify their own terrorism.

  7. If you're referring to antifa, they look mostly white and at least 50% male, I'm pretty sure they don't hate white males. At least not by the standards of normal people, to the standards of the neo-nazis they hate white males, but then again so do I, most democrats, some republicans, and probably you as well.

  8. Can you name "extreme" liberal views that liberals actually hold? "Could it have something to do with extreme liberal views that say you can't be racist or sexist against white males?" No, that's not a liberal view, that's white supremacist propaganda. "Could it have something to do with extreme views that label people racists for wanting border security?" No, that's not a liberal view, that's white supremacist propaganda. "White people are being taught to be ashamed of themselves." No, that's not a liberal view, that's white supremacist propaganda. "and why did the rise of these white nationalists occur 3 years ago?" I don't know, what made you start thinking like this?

  9. Not a "thing," a myth, it's propaganda and identity politics that comes from the right. How can someone be told to be ashamed of themselves while at the same time being told they are a special snowflake and that everyone deserves a trophy? It's right wing bullshit that contradicts bullshit from the same right wingers.

  10. I agree.

  11. Wow John Hunter really went off the bigoted fake victimhood rails here. I asked when he stared to think he was victim because he was right, and in the intervening 14 hours he had a meltdown about his problems with women. I've long suspected these alt-rightists get their start with misogyny and graduate to racism, and this is just further evidence of that.

  12. It was quick, quick enough to know you didn't watch the video.

  13. chirmony Not surprised you say both sides do it then immediately start attempting to justify terrorism by the Nazis. After that's what the false equivalence "both sides" argument is there to do. The violence was not equal on both sides, and the white supremacists can't be considered equal to the counter protesters, most of whom were non-violent. The terrorist in question wanted to murder people plain and simple, he wasn't forced to do it like you say. Since you are on the alt-right yourself it's not surprising you would attempt to justify terrorism.

  14. Shiva, The Destroyer That's not true, unless you mean that mainstream media doesn't focus on antifa 24/7 like alt-right propaganda here on youtube. Believe it or not it's the job of the news to cover something resembling news.

  15. That has nothing to do with whether or not there is a real thing called the "alt-left" which there isn't.

  16. chrimony Actually you got it backward, beginning in 2015 Trump supporters started assaulting peaceful protesters at rallies and Trump supporters began commiting hate crimes. Only later did antifa start showing up, and unlike you I don't think that excuses their behavior or means they were acting in self defense like you do with the Nazis. Your simply an apologist for white supremacist violence because yourself are a white supremacist.

  17. panterizate Yeah I can say more than false equivalence, but I prefer to speak the truth. And no I am not in middle school, but thats ok, there's plenty of people your own age on youtube.

  18. chrimony Well glad to know that you think "disruption" aka free speech deserves to be violently suppressed, that is anti-first amendment and anti-America. It wasn't isolated incidents, Trump supporters were beating protesters at least once a week at the height of the media covering it. And no, no Trump events were canceled due to violence, you might as well say antifa bombed the Reichstag while you are making things up. Quit being an apologist for brown shirts like basedstickman.

  19. chrimony Given that you are a fan of Mike Cernovich, Lauren Southern, Judical Watch, Rebel Media, Paul Joseph Watson, and Black Pidgeon Speaks it's no wonder you are supporting fascism, white supremacy and Nazism. All of which are anti-First Amendment, anti-capitalism, and anti-America.

  20. Yeah, what happens when one side gets a pass for too long is the kind of terrorism from the right we see today. There hasn't been and isn't currently any pass on left wing violence.

  21. Your response to debunking the nonexistent "alt-left" is to believe something more retarded?
