They don't live in Portland if they think Antifa doesn't exist.

@thehermeticlibrary2581 I did, but left in 98. All these anarcho/communists are kids of the middle class regressive-leftists that are common. They're from middle class backgrounds, but they like to play communist revolutionary, because they have no classical values, such as responsibility, hard work, self-reliance.

@richardlee9207 Name comes from Antifaschitische Aktion the paramilitary branch of communist party in Weimar Germany. They killed hundreds of people in street violence making the Nazis more popular and helping them gain power.

Today they're all larpers. Being anarcho/communist is nonsensical. Their ideology doesn't exist in the real world.

@thomaspower1233 Perhaps youtube throttles comments. But I answered that. I grew up there, and left in 98.

@scottwasson They are part of the violent protests in Seattle and Bay Area also. But we saw that the BLM riots were more destructive 500 million in damages in Minneapolis alone.

@scottwasson Anyone who's not far left is disgusted by criminal behavior, especially when it's tolerated and even fostered by the local government. The courthouse is federal property, i.e. belongs to all Americans. The cop's injuries, some blindness from lasers, injuries from rocks, fireworks, are less that that in a war. But it shouldn't be allowed to happen at all. The rioters have no business being there.

@thomaspower1233 You're late to the party. Nadler is currently getting roasted for saying "Antifa is a myth". The relevant fact is that the black block, anarcho/communists are the rioters who have been attacking the courthouse for 2 months. Denying is not effective for your side, because there are daily videos of the nightly riots. The MSM is doing a blackout, but even they are strangely showing the violent videos, while saying "peaceful" over and over.

Sandman 123 Why would I care? Just because Lewis wasn't just a political hack 55 years ago.

@thomaspower1233 OK. Jerry Nadler. You're so aware of what is going on. The gaslighting doesn't work. Because the Portland siege on the courthouse is independently reported. I know what's happening. They're making arrests every night, and confiscating gear.

@TronaldJDump That's a very naive comment. Antifa are anarcho/communists. They think the USA is evil. They have nothing in common with American patriots. They have nothing in common with WW2 veterans.

@thomaspower1233 Everybody knows that antifa consists of small not very well organized groups. That's the nature of anarcho/communists. It's very strange that you'd think that's a gotcha.

@TronaldJDump The assault on the Federal Courthouse has nothing to do with fascism. Antifa are anarcho/communists, it has nothing to do with rights, or freedom. I thought only Don Lemon was stupid enough to think that because the name is an abbreviation of "anti-fascism" that it represents that. N. Korea is called the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea. But it has nothing to do with democracy.

@TronaldJDump That's a dodge. As the other Antifa supporter on this thread was saying, it's a loose knit coop of people with local chapters. They wear masks and all black so they can't be identified with committing crimes: vandalism, shining lasers in eyes, starting fires, and assaulting people. That's, of course for their own protection, from arrest and prosecution. More broadly, it's the Black Block who are doing the violence. Such as in the DC protests, in 2016. They wear all black, and bandanna covering their faces. And you see them smashing the windows on a Starbucks. Normal protesters wouldn't be attacking a courthouse. Only these people are so far left that they think the US federal government is evil and fascist.

@TronaldJDump If they're not antifa then they're black block, which is no difference anyone cares about. We know what the assault on the courthouse is. It's anarcho/communists. Antifa is an idea, like Islamic terrorism. If you want to actually defend Antifa (which half the time you're claiming doesn't exist) that's your problem.

Antifa is an ideology, political affiliation. It basically refers to anarcho/communists, who not only believe the political violence is justifiable but that it's necessary. You don't have to tell me that anarchy and communism are mutually contradictory, but it's what they identify with. It's also why their violence is so pointless. They don't have any positions which could be implemented--smash the state, but then free everything for everyone. They're also total pussies, physically weak, and get crushed in physical encounters.
