About those peaceful antifa protests...

Have a look at the comments below any Guardian piece on Brexit. There is systematic "othering" of leavers; the consensus being that leavers are all racist morons. It is exactly the same thing as the right wing saying that, since some Muslims are terrorists, all Muslims are terrorists. Both the right and the left could do with a hard look at the beams in their own eyes.

The important question though is how large these extremist components are. They have always existed of course; I think they are in the process of becoming dominant.

But leavers ARE scum who deserve nothing more than a bullet in the back of the head :p

But I'm not on about that. This is more the rights obsession with the left supposedly being obsessed with trans rights, taking it to silly levels, and the like.

Sounds like Tyr may be a tad transphobic.

Trans people exist. They should continue to exist and have full rights as the other gender once there's medical sign off.
They aren't a problem. Just let them be.

This is pretty much agreed by all. Its not something the left feel the need to pay the slightest attention to.
But in the minds of the alt right....

Funny people would think you're the one who's "obsessed" when you've stipulated they agree with a position they disagree with.

The dumb ass lefts whole scale embrace of identity politics and refusal to even countenance any kind of rational discussion of race, immigration, and globalism beyond "YOUR RACIST" and "The police and FBI and CIA and all authority figures are secret complicit Nazis" is what leaves a nice little gap for dog whistle racist organizations like Proud Boys to fill.

I hear this a lot from the right.
I've never seen it.

That sounds like willfull ignorance.  Well, maybe not willfull.

American thing that the local idiots have decided to just copy wholesale along with incorrect usage of the word liberal et al?

Wasn't it in this very thread that the Usual Suspects were telling us that there is a institutionalized and systemic refusal by all or nearly all law enforcement to enforce the law against nazis?

No.

Pretty much agreed by all.
There are or course exceptions.

But the alt right often tend to be careful not to mark themselves out as exceptions. Dog whistle politics are order of the day.
It's not the Jews. It's Soros and Rothschild.
It's not refugees. It's migrants.
It's not transsexuals. It's non gender normative 563 genders.

Question: do you think trans women should be allowed to compete in women's sports?

Calling "migrants" refugees, illegal and legal immigrants is from being a province of the alt right. That's PC newspeak nowadays.

No.

[derspiess]

Why not?

[Josquius]

Pretty sure they'd fall afowl of doping laws.

[Zoupa]

Why not?

What about you? What do you think and why?
