This kind of disgusting thing you are saying would make your grandparents vomit.
Antifa can be many things. It can just be an anarchist reactionary movement, left wing or rightwing. Or a movement against police violence and fascism. It WAS, and you know it, also the allied forces against Hitler.
BLM is a civil rights movement. As soon as you demote it to something else you out yourself as an actual racist, no ifs no buts.
Will Parler moderate the platform? Absolutely not. Go to @patriottakes on Twitter and we see daily screen caps of the anti Semitism and extremism on that platform. It’s an echo chamber of hate and it will remain that way as long as the GOP keeps acting like GQP.
Please. Stop calling allied soldiers "Antifa". Not only is about as accurate as calling Biden a communist. It also speads a dangerous misconception:
I've got Jewish ancestors on both sides of my family, many of whom fled Nazi-occupied Europe to live in the UK. So you might be surprised to hear me say that the people of this country, who fought and died on Normandy's beaches,
were not doing so to protect people like us. If anything, the Jews were seen in much the same way as Syrian immigrants today - a nuisence. The Germans? Even worse.
My maternal grandfather, a German Jew, was actually beaten up at school several times for being German... by the children of allied soldiers, no less.
They didn't care that his home country hated him too. He was 12 years old when the war ended, and is still alive today, though he ended up changing his name to something that sounded more English.
Even Winston Churchill was quite antisemitic except for when it suited him not to be.
Sure, Hitler had plenty of enemies, but that doesn't mean they were
Antifascists with a capital A. The modern Antifa groups
specifically take their name and iconography from Antifaschistische Aktion, a militant offshoot of Germany's communist party that only existed from 1932 to 1933. The year
before Hitler came to power.
So even though this group opposed the rising tide of fascism, they actually did something that played right into Hitler's hands. Because the more that they attacked and hurt people, the more the Nazis could claim to be the less violent side, ultimately contributing to their election win in 1933. In much the same way that today's rioters will be used by the right to justify the ushering in of a police state.
I understand they are angry and want change. (Don't we all?) But choosing to lash out violently (and in many cases, randomly) will not do anything that benefits their side long-term. If anything, it will escalate the conflict, which appears to be what
some of them want. But make no mistake: the people who want this are bloodthirsty radicals in need of a big bad guy to fight while the repercussions will be felt for generations by the very people they claim to be protecting. History repeats itself.
