@_Meng_Lan An opinion in a book is hardly the stuff of facts. And the "these people are Nazi's" card has been a thing since the 2000's, or do you now know how Bush was treated? Look, I ain't saying that there aren't those elements around, there are, but get a grip.
I know, and I'm 100% in support of those involved in the riot to get fucked by the law. That doesn't mean I agree with your rather crazy opinion. In fact, I see people like you to be as problematic, since you'd destroy democracy in your effort to "save it". Our job is to protect American lives, and yes, that means Americans with beliefs you don't like. That means your life as well. We CANNOT take sides in this, so that's how it is.
Just...respect another person's opinion as long as they're not advocating for literally destroying democratic principles. I know you can interpret the changing voting laws in places like Georgia like that, but so can the Republicans interpret literal de-platforming as anti-democratic as well. The point is to try to empathize lest you just begin to justify anti-democratic methods to slay the "monster" in your head.
I'd prefer not killing Americans that have justified killing their fellow citizens due to political opinion, thanks. But if it comes down to it, then it does. Doubt it will, but it's something to keep in mind.

@_Meng_Lan Leon Trotsky, Rose Luxembourg, and the usual famous suspects. Antifa is a black bloc; they hide themselves, how the hell is someone supposed to name a person within it? Hell, why does that even matter?
I'm a soldier. 42nd ID. I can and have met with Antifa idiots, and I'm not impressed. They're a bunch of virgin losers who hide behind masks and threaten to scare people whose political ideologies differ from them. If they were ONLY targeting Nazi people, then I'd at least somewhat understand, though I'd still disapprove of ANY political violence. But they take it to that next level.
Let me ask you something; is McCarthyism a good idea? Is it a good idea to have a label just be applied to someone, whether they're actually that label or not, and then strip them of civil rights because some idiot hiding behind a mask called them a "Nazi"? If you can understand why McCarthyism is a bad thing, then you can understand why Antifa is an evil to democratic practices. All groups that advocate for political violence are an evil. And the US military can and will crush them all if it comes down to it. I doubt it'll ever come to that, but I'm more than willing to kill authoritarians to preserve freedom for my children and your own.
"I dislike what you have to say, but I'll fight for your right to say it" as it were.
